I read somewhere that women want their love to fulfill a dream

Whereas men love what or whomever is there while they are feeling satisfied in general. So whats up with that in your opinion? No source sorry, and this was paraphrased. Nonsense or not quite or sneezingly obvious?

I think one has to define exactly what love means. One cannot fall in love with potential. It has to be a real love. Reality based. I doubt I will ever find the kind of love I dream of. Ìt has to be for me the kind of love that makes me the best version of me and the same with him. From what you are saying, men are less choosy. Men seem to be more visual. Passion is important to me. This is a discussion that needs far more time.

@PoetryNEmotionsounds like that quote resonated? Well thats why I repeated...yeah its a vast generalization, but feels like something many people also feel and can relate to...and of course sex and gender are not necessarily the same and can be closer or not as close for any individual

@PoetryNEmotion important point that falling in love with potential.stuff..but isnt that what makes women women...their grasp of potential in motherhood for instance? Or maybe a grand or not so grand vision or concept of a healthier world in need of actualization and yada.....??

@Ohplease47 No. Falling in love with potential is not what makes women women. Falling in love with a partner is not the same as loving one's child. Totally different. Without bonding, a woman cannot be a good mother. I do not engage in generalizations. Reality is reality. Just like I hear people comment that falling in love is not a choice. It is. One can turn away from love. It is a conscious choice.
