Should Ladies Also Ration Feelings Of Affection Towards Their Partner? by MizMyColi(f): 8:18pm On Dec 14, 2014
Let's Have Your Take On This Please.

I saw a post on here. An Nler was admonishing another NLer, saying that, it is better for him to give a lady, "The More You Look, The Less You See Syndrome"
(That's just the summary of what he was trying to pass across)

In other words, He should make the lady want him more by not always admiring her or making her feel like she matters so much.

In other words, As a man, He shouldn't be "too expressive" --- so the lady won't see him finish shocked

Even though I strongly maintain that this is a form of emotional abuse and manipulation, that's not what I'm here to talk about.
grin grin

My question is, should the lady in a relationship be advised thus? May we also tow that path?

If yes please state your reasons, If no, let's know why too.

If you're in support of the Nler's opinion, please let us know why, if you're not, we'd like to know why too.

Let's contribute objectively
smiley smiley
Cheers.........

Lol... "reducing her English" may make her lose some followers like me. I like her construction of grammer and that's one the reasons I like her.

Just admit your crushing on her rather than using Big grammer as excuse

As for me, none. I have this belief that every affection, or feelings should be mutual. Though many ladies are given this orientation that the male folks should show much affection than them. I don't think its right. It should be mutual.

Firstly, I don't think it's a form of emotional abuse.

Secondly, we will all agree that men and women are totally different, we don't and will never think the same way. Men are practical, women tend towards making decisions based on emotions.

For example when a man falls in love genuinely, he probably has seen some solid traits in a woman eg intelligence, respect, how she relates with other people but for a woman this is slightly different. Their decisions are based on emotions and emotions do 'fluctuate'. So to create a sort of balance, a man has to be bold and not give in to his emotion @ all times.

There are times to show a woman love and there are times to be 100% frank with a woman.

So to answer your question, a woman shouldn't do that or better still a woman can't do that.

To be sincere, this attitude of dudes hiding their feelings and being less expressive have sent many flourishing relationships to their early graves.



My thought though!

If you have to ration the feelings then it's not love, true love knows no bound

Exactly sweetheart. True love comes straight from the heart. It can't be rationed.

I am in agreement with the positon of the Nlander. The guy should not be too eager to exude his emotions to the lady, at least at the early stages in the relationship. Most ladies, when they become too sure of your love, they tend to misbehave confidently with the assurance that the guy, being in love, can not bite.
So, it is good to make the lady slightly uncertain of your love to make her uncertain of your reactions to whatever silly ideas, if any, that she may be nursing. She has to be aware that there is an acerbic side of you just as there is the loving side.

Whatever. So far the love exists shikenan
Re: Should Ladies Also Ration Feelings Of Affection Towards Their Partner? by Nobody: 8:56pm On Dec 14, 2014
Can true love be hidden?

I doubt,except its faked..

Why ration love,when expression of it makes it grow fonder,and keep the union strong. Except its been expressed to a lady,or guy, who truly didn't love the guy,or the lady,so will find it difficult to reciprocate it.

Expression of love is good,no overdose,no excess calories.

I don't think ration is the word, at times keeping a straight face is necessary. It doesn't change that person's love for you. It's a heart and face thing, na the heart be the koko.

I mean, come to think of it, you are having strong and real fire for me but you bottle it up in your chest, whereas another chap has a crush on me and goes straight ahead to express it. The other babe would leak her wound later when the expressive babe has flown away with her hearthrob.

I dont know if anyone knows one song by Smokie. captioned "Living next door to Alice"

In this song a guy was lamenting of his failure to let Alice know that he loved her while she lived next door to him for twenty years. Now Alice has relocted to aother area without the inexpressive guy any idea of where to find her.

African China sang it also, let your lover know how deep u love him/her. There is no loss/crime in so doing.

My thought though!


It's a good idea, but ladies are funny people.

The minute they know you're addicted to them, you become boring to them.

Most will become too comfortable and begin to take you for granted and misbehave.

Many female friends have admitted this much.

I don't see what's there not to understand about this English. Seems clear enough to me.

Anyways, back to topic.

It makes no sense for anyone who is usually expressive to start stifling their feelings/expressions in a relationship. Neither is it totally right for the person who isn't expressive to begin yapping more than necessary. It only makes sense to play along as your nature demands, the way i see it.

Rationing may render the person temporarily desirable. Yes, only temporarily. However, lack of consistency is one of the easiest thing to kill a relationship. Your partner knows you as talkative and enjoys it, yet you stifle yourself because you want to be more desirable? Bull..sh.it! Stay true and let it play just as it will.
