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.

Most men (from my 45 yrs of experience) are looking for a mommy with benefits. They want a woman who will cook, clean, raise the kids, work full time, pay half the bills, and handle the boring day to day stuff they don't wanna do. Then be ready to drop the pant/ies later that night and fk when he feels like it. They don't want to be romantic ("That's just not who I am"), they don't want to put forth any effort to make you want to be se/xy with them.

They're honestly not worth the trouble they bring.

@DearAmbellina2113 I can't disagree. I'm only a mommy to those I brought into this world.

@DearAmbellina2113 I was a carer for thirteen years when my first wife became ill. Until one day she announced she had a bf.

@peterlee I never said women can't be users as well.
peterlee · M
@DearAmbellina2113 you move on though.
DearAmbellina2113 · 41-45, F
@peterlee yes you do

@peterlee If you have a quarrel with Ambellina, please take it to your own space.

@FoxyQueen

I dedicated a lot of my life to looking after my first wife. I don’t need this, sorry.

@peterlee No one here was being rude to you, so I don't understand your response to Ambellina. She simply replied she never said women weren't users. She had simply given her experience. 🤷‍♀ Seems like you took offense where none was needed.

@FoxyQueen Point taken. I apologies

@FoxyQueen @peterlee

- calls men "empty buckets"

- "no one here was being rude to you"


such an unnecessarily vindictive post lol. who hurt you
FoxyQueen · 51-55, F
@Sandcastler No, I did not call men empty buckets. Lol

I said, if you are trying to get something while not providing what is needed to facilitate that, there is nothing to be given.

I was saying women are the empty buckets.

Talk about missing the point entirely! 🙄

@FoxyQueen still, what ambellina said does seem like an unfair generalization. The men you're referring to are those of us dealing with all kinds of toxic expectations, various forms of lostness, probs some depression. You know? It's not like men are hard wired to get into dysfunctional relationships, there's just a great deal of unhealthy teachings floating around for emotionally unaware men to fall for

@Sandcastler Amibellina only said that she never said women weren't users, which is a true and complete statement. She also expressed her experiences, which were also a true and complete statement.

It is no different than when you tell someone, "Gosh! I'm tired!" and the other person says, "I was so tired all last week!" It doesn't do anything but create a commonality.

That's all she did.

She (i am assuming) only has intimate relationships with men, so that is going to be her experience. I have only had relationships with men, so my experience is a commonality between her and I.

I shouldn't have to explain how conversations go. These are basic elements. Peterlee decided to take it personally for some weird reason.

Toxic people are everywhere. It isn't based off gender, age, race or anything. It is simply based off people and how they consider other people in their lives. For some, that means growing and shareing. For some it means taking everything they can get out of someone. And then there is every spot along the spectrum because people are a myriad of things.

My original post was because I see a lot of men posting how they want a "nurturing" woman, but can't seem to find one. Having someone who is nurturing isn't something that just happens. It is something that develops over time with trust, security and love. But men who claim they can't find that really need to look at themselves and see what they are offering. Is it equitable for what they are wanting? Probably not if they haven't found the woman they are looking for.

That is literally all I eas saying, but in short form because I figured, most people would ve able to figure it out pretty easily, or ask questions before making assumptions.
