Ginaz:


I’m not the one and I don’t stay where I’m not respected. It’s not only a man who needs respect too, you know!

Ginaz:


They are many. A friend is passing through this , she was a virgin too when she met that useless guy. he treats her like she doesn’t exist despite the so-called respect . roll eyes.

Ladies, don’t kill yourself respecting a guy for a mumu button that won’t add anything to your life .

Ginaz:


Hmmm
Respect ! What of those guys who their babe accord respect to but treat them like trash?
Every man Mumu botton is different.

Rockyfancino:

Damn! you have issues with respecting a man truly, this line totally gives you away.

There's no need to reply me with objection. It is the truth I tell you, take it free of charge.

Ps: A man always likes and values submissive women, unless he's a mad man. And submission doesn't mean you're a slave without opinion.

benicta:


So you mean a guy can value his woman and still be unfaithful to her??

lagonovo:

I totally agree with your line of thought here on men's mumu button, respect, but you got the context of the saying about 'respect is earned' wrong.
Respect is earned does not imply that you disrespect people or withhold respect until earned. It means there is no guarantee for respect if you show that you don't deserve it. You automatically get respect until you fail to earn that respect. That is simply the real life context and doesn't need over analyzing, not just with our parents (which in reality is an exception to the rule, like most rules - they earned it already by being your parents) but also with almost everyone you encounter. Think of respect in real life context as automatically buying something on credit, payment is how you conduct yourself and that's how you earn it.

9japride:
It's kind of true, it's only those who date harden criminals and morally bankrupt individuals that are not treated well after showing respect to the guy. Most ladies love bad guys and such bad guys can never treat them well, that's the plain truth.

He is either a Yoruba or an Ibo guy. The two rough tribes in Nigeria. I am sure.

RightToReject:
Respect is earned, not given - it should not be mistaken for courteousness, which every sane person exhibits freely under normal circumstances - and it is not every man's mumu button because there is something greater than it. Meanwhile, I believe one of the worst things that could ever happen to a woman, a dutiful woman, is having a crass/self-absorbing and opportunistic man in her life - a man who almost doesn't have what it takes to command her respect to help keep her mentally and emotionally healthy, yet expect respect while meting out oppression on her.

That said, of course, not every woman (or man) has the grace and capacity to accord a man his earned respect, just as some need to be oppressed to stay committed, loyal, and happy.

I'm interested as well in knowing the answer to that question.

Toks2008:


Show me a man that treats a respectful lady like trash and I will show you a mad man.

And I hope the trash you are talking about has nothing to do with unfaithfulness cos in the world of women once a guy is unfaithful to them then it means he does not value them.

JeffreyJunior:
Bro, you haven't met beasts in human form.

Some men become more abusive when they are respected and treated like kings so the best way to keep them in line is for the women to always grab them by the balls whenever they start abusing them.

HabaHaba:


Very well so! Men are unusually sexual. He adores his lady, but hunts game in others like play toys.
Like little boys, the lady is his mother he always runs to, but he still needs his toys to play with..

Where did you see UNCONDITIONALLY, in that Biblical quote?
The quote said: Husbands, love your wife, as you will love yourself, even as a weaker vessel".

I guess you dont know what "unconditionally means"!
Even God does not Love us Unconditionally, he demands "Worship and Obedience to his Laws".

Ephesians 5:22 24 = Wife SUBMIT to your Husband, as to the LORD. For the Husband is the HEAD of the Wife. Wife should SUBMIT to their Husband IN EVERYTHING.

Ephesians 5: 25 - 28, 33 = Husbands, LOVE your wife, just as Christ loves the Church... In this way, Husbands ought to LOVE their Wives as their own body. He who LOVES his Wife, love himself... and the Wife MUST RESPECT her Husband.

As we can all see, the Bible keeps repeating over and over again, the importance of a Husband LOVING his Wife.
At the same time, the Bible makes it clear that the Wife MUST (take note of the word "MUST", making it a non-negotiable command) RESPECT and SUBMIT to her husband.

If we also notice, the Bible INTENTIONALLY makes the "RESPECT and SUBMISSION" come first, as a condition for the LOVE.
You RESPECT and SUBMIT to your Husband (as your Head and Lord), as a condition, in exchange for his LOVE.

Toks2008:


Don't be too sure, things are not always what they seem to be so there may be an underlying issue you have no clue about, forget that she is my friend, I know her too well line..

And perhaps you are the one then it means you were unfortunate to be with a crazy guy or maybe one out of 100guys who are exceptions.

And that your last line gives you away. You obviously have issues with respecting a guy.

Respecting a guy is a confirmed trusted mumu button.

Zetty177x:


Probably! .... these men u described are uncontrollable...their mind isn't controlled by them

HabaHaba:


Wow, I love the way you mixed several wisdom in one piece.
However, the simple truth is that by nature men's weakness is Respect!!

When a robber of terrorist attacks, pls argue with them and see.
When your Boss doesn't naturally give a shit about you, just stop respecting him and see.
When you talk with your religious leaders, ignore them and show disregard or disrespect them.
Wheb your father talks, constantly disrespect him.
Summary is that Men love to be respected while women naturally desire REGARD & ATTENTION /LOVE.
If a man respects a man, she expects him to show her regard, if not the balance of emotions will cause strain in the relationship.
In the same vein, if a woman respects her man and he's yet a bully, there is ALWAYS a particular reason why he does that.
This is simply why there is always a lady/woman in the life of every criminal who he adores like a goddess, because he gets treated like a King.

There was once a lady that I dated several years back, I always left my fiancee to be with her simply because she would always refer to me as "MY KING".

and my head go dey swell, and she doesn't in any way disregard me, even while she's broke she still prepares sumptuous meals for me, which automatically made me to feel obligated to always provide for her needs.

Thats my own contribution Sha.

IamCookie:


In case itz the @bolded , if the supposed man treats her like trash, we can say that she deserves been treated that way. Considering what she wrote to which you quoted her , it further explains it better

obailala:
Respect still remains one of the oldest and most potent mumu button for men generally. But there's one condition that has to be fulfilled before that button (or any button at all) can work - the man has to like the woman.

bukatyne:


How can the submission come before love when a husband is to love his wife as Christ loved the Church using your analogy?

The same Bible clearly states Christ loved us first; while we were sinners, He died for us.

And the love Christ has for the Church is unconditional.

If you want to quote the Bible, at least quote and refer to it right.

smallsmall:



And despite all these starling, wife qualities, you still could not marry her but just kept her as a Bleep-mate and married another woman (your fiancee) who did not/could not provide all those things you said this other lady provided for your emotions
