men's praise
This is when I was younger...much younger.I didn't realize that men required/need/deeply appreciate (to a psychological level at times) praise from their woman. I am willing to bet that many men did not realize that either.
How could we? Well, I will actually speak from my perspective...how would I? I only dated one woman in my life...it lasted 13 years, but I never dated many women. That is not the way I am wired. I respect a relationship and everything about it. Now of course, there are some men out there that have different wiring than myself; however, I think the topic of this blog is still relevant to you as well.
Okay, back to it then. I didn't realize that men required praise from their woman. It is healthy for a man's self-esteem, his motivation to succeed, to be happy, to be the best possible self he can be. There is nothing wrong with a man being all these things....is there?
The reason why I bring this up is because back in the day, when I was in the middle of that 13 year relationship, I had heard on many occasions from the woman I was dating, she would tell me, "I am not going to give you praise." At the time, I thought to myself, I am not asking for any praise. I am going to continue on with my success and what I am doing in life with our without your praise...needless to say, I was not doing these things for her praise anyway. It was for survival in this tough world.
However...just moments ago I was listening to a pod cast by a certain somebody
...I won't mention his name...and he had a whole show about praise....and how not only women should praise their man, but they should also praise their man in public. The bottom line...it was an ironic event, and I am thinking there must be something to it...my ex-gf used that exact word back then, and today that blogger used the same word. There must be some importance to it.

What do you think men and women....should women praise their man?
....also I would like to ask...
What does it mean if they don't praise you?
or
What does it mean if they do praise you?
If your woman is not "investing" in you, is that a troubling sign for the relationship?
Of course, this topic of praise is about a high value man...a man who is not toxic in anyway....

Wait a minute here. I'm eating cereals with milk this morning, and right now I see - what is that? I see something swimming around, dunking in and out of the milk between the cereal pieces. Could it be a moving raisin?
I welcome everything you have brought here. It is very much appreciated. I have read both post twice and both have extreme relevance here. I hope others too take the time to read them as well.
Again, thank you very much.
You are one very lucky gentlemen to be sharing such a wonderful prize with Ms. Cakes.
I would not suggest you two playing with them all at once, but maybe share one at a time to see which each of you might like. One might be better than the other while the other might one better than the other...and so on.
Pay per view is nice with all their taxes Robert. I will see if Jac might join....she kinda gave a soft no I see.
I am ready to sling mud at each other when you are.
Seriously tho! I'd question a person who states " I'm not going to give you praise." I'd directly ask them why? Like you, I don't seek out praise but I sure do remember the little incidental praise I've gotten from women over the years. It's important. That's downright sad she said that to you.

I didn't win the 100th commenter prize, PattedcakesXO did.
And besides, what kind of gift is little packages of Ketchup and Mustard and Relish and such condiments like that?
Come on now. Let's be reasonable.
I think a gif cerfificate from Wallymarts for a new 101 inch TV would be cool.
I thought it included our front row seats to the mudslinging pit.
I was ready ..for this.
You know they always ask,
Are you ready for this..
