| A man usually wants to be respected.  Obviously, women want to be respected as well, and men want to be loved. However , a man wants to be respected by others , especially by the women he loves. A woman is surprised that a man wants to be respected above all else. A man thinks that if he can gain other people's respect , than a woman will love him. Of course this attitude may not work as well.
Men have interesting attitudes.

| A man should never expect more than what he is giving! He must equally give the things he wants. Respect and love go both ways.A man has so much more to treasure and gain by unconditionally giving respect rather than the demand of being #1. The same goes for ladies. Being together does mean functioning together and equally giving without all of the demands.

| bestdadntexas, nicely put! The respect has to be earned first & then hopefully it can become mutual. If I can't be respected or be with someone I can respect, Its not a relationship I wish to be in.

| I would really like to show best Dad some respect!
Good thread started here!
I think we have forgotten how to make each other happy together by being respectful. For having each other's backs at all times.
So many women friends are married to really GOOD men - and I hear them bashed and abused and mistreated and berrated and forgotten so much.
I sit and think if I had him.... would love him like this....
And then I wish I had a man.
Of my own.
Wish women would learn to not be such b*tches....to men.

| Respect, just as trust and many other things dear to our hearts, must be earned, not demanded. You earn respect by being a man/woman of your word, living yourself with integrity and holding yourself to the highest standards. Do not expect anything you are not willing to give. Do not expect to be loved if you cannot love. Do not expect to have honesty in your life if you cannot be honest with yourself and others. And do not expect to be respected if all you know and show is arrogance and a know-it-all, patronizing attitude.

| The best way to lose the respect of someone is to disrespect them. And a quick way to ruin a relationship is to disrespect your partner in front of friends and family. It's demeaning.

| Likebestdad said, some of us get respect the old fashioned way.....we earn it one good deed at a time and actions speak louder than words.

| Okay I'm not bashing here, but being very honest.
Right now the discussion is "Respecting Men"
I tend to see women be very disrepectful to men, whether he's a good or bad guy.
Alot of the married women that I know have no respect for their husbands..as soon as the guy does something that they don't like or don't agree with, they have no problem calling their husbands idiots and other demeaning names.
So if we say respect is earned, do we say love is earned too? I don't think so.
I think that even if I'm mad with my man he still deserves to be respected.
It's no different if my guy is mad with me, I expect to be respected and loved.
I think sometimes women think that because men act all tough that we can say anything and they can take anything.
I see it on the threads all the time...the women are the first ones to start calling a man names when there is a disagreement.

| With me.....respect has to be earned. I will not hand it out free gratis. I did that a few times and got burned. Respect is earned by being totally honest and up front with me. Respect is earned by NOT lieing to me. Respect is earned by not trying to change me for any reason. Respect is earned by understanding the way I am. Once you have earned my respect you will have it forever....unless you cross me. If you do that you have one chance to make good and you will be forgiven. If you don't....you lose my respect and me as a friend.
