Do you think that men ... (601)
EagleWoman: ... are stuggling with "how to show their love" ?
So many women now (at least in the western world) are independant, can provide for themselves financially, know how to look after their own car - some are able to get on DIY stuff too -
Traditionally, men used to fill the role of financial provider, look after the maintenance of their lady's car, organise the DIY or do it themselves, and generally take care of "men's jobs" around the house. And I think that was one way of showing they cared and loved their partner apart from the intimacy and may be
romantic moments.
So what happens now to ALL those guys who were used to showing "their love" through doing stuff, when the lady says "Nah! Don't worry!! I got it sussed! I'm used to doing it myself, and I like knowing where my tools are when I go to do the next job!"
Are guys able to find alternative ways of showing their love? Are they expectated to show their love through opening up to their emotions and sharing them more like women are used to doing? Is it working?
Sorry if I sound stereotipical, was not meant to but rather trying to generate a discussion on the effect of the changes in society and how men and woman relate to different roles within their relationships ...

Ron_de_Jeremy: I'm like that... much prefer actions over words
They can still be actions but you might to think about it a little more now it's not just about grabbing a hammer. Might have to think on how to convey that love in actions!!!
I can hear your brain ticking right now!!! Not THAT kind of action!! Well not every time anyway!!! ------ This thread is Archived ------

There are extemists on every subject and area. Woman's lib is not about extremism it's a bout a man and woman doing the same job earning the same money. It's about a woman not having to have her's husband's written consent before studying, opening a bank account or buying land or property. It's about a woman being able to makes decisions that pertain to herself or her body without needing permission from her husband etc...
Let's not get confused about what women's lib was and is about!!

Soooo True .. Women want to do it themselves, and then complain when their husbands don't do anything. Then one day they (women) wake up
and realize, it's wonderful to have a man do for you

i think men enjoy doing things for the woman they love and to help out where they can. but i think women like to also be a little independant too, which is good also. but the man will always be there for her.

Didn't say I was struggling to find ways to express my affection
...and there are plenty of women out there who'd much prefer to have their guy do the heavy lifting for them

If they want to reject our offers of help in some symbolic stance of independence then stuff 'em I say ....
P.S. I'd show my love be inspecting the DIY workmanship and awarding a gold star ..... if applicable....

Being single I have to take care of my own home...which is falling down around me 
I do have my own tool box which is as tall as I am...I thought it was so pretty when I got it for Christmas (I asked my dad for it) that I keep it in my livingroom. Seriously!!
I like having men do things to help out. As I can't do it all. I do mow the yards because I have too and I like too do the weed eating. But if I had help from a man I would gladly take it. I like a man doing things for me and me doing things for them. BUT saying that, I hate housekeeping crap!! I would rather be outside playing or something!!
Wait...what was the question?? Oh yeah guys showing their emotions and stuff. Well hmmm don't know, don't have a guy. But I think most guys do still like to show they are men!

Yeah!! So now they can't do so much practical stuff to "show" their love, how do they do it? What is happening in their minds, their hearts? Do they fear not being able to communicate that love?------ This thread is Archived ------
bellavita: Soooo True .. Women want to do it themselves, and then complain when their husbands don't do anything. Then one day they (women) wake up and realize, it's wonderful to have a man do for you
So do you think things will eventually re-balance?

So you're talking about balance here?

I think that any man who can wash dishes or clean toilets after himself is definitely showing his love........
