Well, I seem to have stirred a few ppl up with one of my posts, and for such, I appologize. I didn't realize that I was going to strike a nerve :P I didn't realize that my post was going to offend my male friends. I hope that you all know that I was not trying to tell you all how to do what you do. Thank you all for being so respectful in your comments and explaining to me the faults of the post. I realize that to do all of the things on the list would not necessarily come naturally to some men's personality and I was not asking you to change your behavior. My thinking was more along the lines of, wow that would be quite amazing if a man actually treated a woman in all of those ways and that you don't see it very often. It was also just me counting my blessings and feeling very thankful anf grateful for what I have and remembering how well Shawn treats me. I have never had a man that loved and respected me so much.
I also don;t know if doing all of those would make a woman love anyone any more that what she already would, but i know that it wouldn't make her love less either :P You don't need to do all of those things to mmake her feel appreciated :P As long as she does feel appreciated one way or another. It goes both ways as well. A lot of girls get caught up in that and forget how important it is to express to your man how much you love them. I have a hard time on this one myself sometimes because I'm not used to reciprocating such feelings! lol that's why I paint because often I have a hard time expressing myself in most other ways. It is fun figuring out new ways to show somebody that you love them though!
Anyway, I think I'm starting to go off on a tangent here, so I'll end this post now by saying, I'm sorry if I offended any of my friends and I hope that I didn't come off as too "sexist". I hope that you can all forgive me for my ignorance!
