whippable men are not tamed beasts... they're domesticated pets

Neither, I guess.
I'm too poor to spoil a girl and I sure wouldn't let her wear the pants in the relationship.
Especially if they were mine.
But come to think of it, I don't think I'd want to get involved with a girl that can actually fit in a size 46 waist.

lol anyway why I'm asking? because I know a girl who would like that in a relationship.
I'd spoil her, but I wouldn't overdo it. I wouldn't let her wear the pants completely. Maybe we could share them. Lol.

Sadly, I'm not a size 46 waist but a size 48 waist in men's. It's not my fault that I have a big appetite.
I don't think he was trying to be funny.

i gotta say, that was a really good read. Even though it was somewhat long you managed to hold my interest for a while there. I'm glad that you didnt end up committing to that relationship, and that your mom came to the right realization.
i wouldnt even be worried at 26, its still a young age. Not sure why you've been single for so long, hopefully its not because you treat relationships like "business" as you mentioned. You seem independent which is a good thing.

I don't want to know how you would react if I revealed I actually wear a size 50 waist in pants.
I wanted to throw in a quick question that has been pondering my mind the whole day?
In a relationship, is it better love or be loved? I always believed you needed both and that both are important factors in making a relationship work. You can't have one without the other. But when I asked my colleagues today, everyone had different answers to that question. All the answer were legitimate. I'm just curious what eveyones answer will be.

I don't think a healthy relationship can have too long of an imbalance of being loved or to love. Essentially, balance is vital to the relationship otherwise one party will just get fed up consciously or unconsciously. Each person has their own limit of this.

depends on expectations/roles. if they are met, does it really matter?

It's better to be loved. Because you have better leverage in being able to charge for it.

Obviously, it's nice if you love and are loved. However, you only have control over your own love... to say that it is better to be loved makes you dependent on someone else's love, which is something you have little control over. If the relationship becomes imbalanced, where you are receiving all the love, then there is a good chance that love will dry up. No matter how hard it is or how much you worry about it, there is little you can do - it is in someone else's hands. However, by focusing on the one thing you do have control over, your own love, then not only does that put you in a place where you can make a difference (you can always choose to give love no matter what), but it also puts you in the place to better discover real happiness... because I am convinced there is far more happiness to be found in giving love rather than receiving love. There is something about the act of giving that illuminates the soul. I know of at least one author that would agree with me. To quote George MacDonald (again):
Better to sit at the waters' birth,
Than a sea of waves to win;
To live in the love that floweth forth,
Than the love that cometh in.
Be thy heart a well of love, my child,
Flowing, and free, and sure;
For a cistern of love, though undefiled,
Keeps not the spirit pure.

To love, because it makes you stronger, makes you smarter, makes you appreciate yourself and others, and it shows that you are human.
"Asians are fuking pussys. Im ashamed to be a part of you weak timid little race ...Maybe if asians were as awesome as me we wouldnt have so many racist things hurled at our people. If you didnt think like such a timid little slave maybe you wouldnt get racism 5 or 6 times a week like you say you do. " -CuriosityGguy I think like a timid little slave. That's why I put this on my signature.

I wouldn't say spoil her, but reward her. A woman looking for a real relationship knows about equality and would want to make her guy a stronger, better person and not tie him down as a control freak.
whipped guy = weak wussy girly man. Why would any girl want to be with that type of guy?
As the saying goes, behind every great man is a great woman. As a normal guy, I would not want a girl who wants to just control the relationship. I'd want her to contribute to the relationship that would improve my life. By allowing her to do things to me that would make me a better person. As I grow stronger as a person, she grows with me. I want her to bring out the best in me, not telling what's best for me.

It wouldn't be a relationship if one person loves the other without being loved back. It's only one sided. It takes two to tango, right? But I agree with coreancc, it's better to give love than to expect it.
