Aries01: Just curious as to what guys rate more highly in terms of importance if they reeeeeeaaaaallly had to choose
I chose the first one, but that was probably wrong. But so is number two. What a dilemma!! Number 1 leads to heartache, number two is just a friendship.

What a wonderful question!!! Thank you very much, I had to think for a little bit on this one but have gone over it in several different scenerios and each returns the same thing...
Faced with this choice I would choose Love and disrespect... The reason being is that there very well could be good reason for the disrespect and that because there is Love present I may be able to eventually earn her respect as well.
Admiration is nice to have from friends, from neighbors, and others, it is flattering and nice to know that someone sees you in such a way. But if they do not Love you then what does it really provide? To me it provides to little to have a relationship around it.
There may be some scenerios I have not gone through in my mind yet that could change this answer but thus far this is how I have to reply.
Again great question thanks for giving me something to ponder!

I voted "a woman who looks up to you...but is not in love"
Disrespect is not love. I don't do that kind of love. Love is mutual respect and understanding.
At least with this " woman who looks up to you...but is not in love", I can have a good relationship with. Besides, maybe this woman is a bit confused on what really constitutes love? If she looked up to me, then she would surely love the way I approach and live life. That's love on a different level...like respect, appreciation, and understanding. Love in my book...real love.

I guess this is a choice between to evils. I voted for a woman who looks up to you, but is not in love. It would be horrible, but I think still better than someone who is disrespectful.

The first can't be true as being in love implies respect; can't have one without the other. The second choice is by far the best in that it offers Hope...the hope that love will bloom from her as you are already by implication, in love with her. Hope, despite whatever the odds are is what keeps most of us going in this life, even fools...

you have to give respect in order to get it so I would say 1 and give lots of respect. respect and love are alot alike if you give them away you may get them back.

You get what you give out I believe also. Hello Dave
I have given this further thought and have to say I have no choice with the given parameters, but to stick to my first answer of #1
Reasons that made this my conclusive answer are that I Love my children very dearly, nothing, and I mean nothing, will ever change that. For me this allows disrespect to occur even though Love is present. The reason is that there are a few things my kids do that I hold absolutely no respect for, there were also many times raising them that they did not respect me, yet their Love remained.
These are enough for me to keep my belief that Love can actually exists without respect and also that respect can indeed be earned / reacquired through respectful response and compromise.
Again though this is making assumptions that have not been clarified in regards to a couple of things... 1) the level of disrespect, and 2) whether or not that disrespect is changeable.
If either of the unclarified factors are defined in what I consider to drastic a term, I would then have to go with option #2 when given no alternative to remaining single, though remaining single would indeed be preferred.
Just thought since this came back to the top I would add my extended thought on it for you.

I concur...you can't ask for something you don't give....
