For men loooking for a "nurturing" woman

What are you providing that will make a woman feel safe and loved to want to nurture you?

If all you are doing is taking the nurturing and not providing anything in return, then you will not get what you want.

While relationships aren't to be transactional, if all you are doing is wanting, but not giving, you are not the kind of person a woman who is nurturing wants to be with.

You can't pour from an empty bucket.

But equally you can give a lot, and get nothing in return.

@peterlee Tell me about it! That's been the story of my life! I'm tired of bare minimum bros who only want to do the absolute least amount but get the most benefits.

Which is why I have remained single till someone can prove to me they are willing to go the distance.

@NativePortlander1970 We can only do better at personal vetting and respecting our boundaries moving forward. ❤

@NativePortlander1970 I always feel inclined to say to men who say they have been used, "Let's use each other for better!" But that always sounds so forward lol! But honestly, if we know how to give, it makes sense to me to match up with someone else who knows how to give to create something better. 🤷‍♀

@FoxyQueen I completely agree, relationships should be 100% give/give, I never felt comfortable taking without it meaning something first.
