I'm guessing many of us have been painted with different shades of working, business or lecture stress today, so I will save us all the further stress in reading a lengthy post. The question is basically for guys - Which would you rather have in your relationship. A lady that truly loves you or a lady that truly respects you. Personally, I can smell a lady's disrespect from my sleep, even if I were in a chemically induced coma and a lady came to my bedside to look at me disrespectfully  , I will jolt out of the coma and give her a piece of my mind  . I really place a lot of weight on respect because I believe the motivations behind respect are objective, reasonable and long standing as against those behind love which are many times subjective, selfish and fleeting.So to reiterate the question....To be respected or to be loved- Which would you rather have. |

When a lady respects you, she also loves you too  So what are you insinuating right here? |
| Re: To Be Respected Or To Be Loved(Guys) by Nobody: 6:41pm On May 05, 2015 |
Nneka123: You are wrong. When someone truly loves you, the person would definitely respect you. Not the other way round. So op, I would go for love because respect is embedded in love. |

Nneka123:To be submissive.  |

Ill love a lady that will open up her gate anytime i go knocking |

Nneka123: wrong! Let me illustrate..you respect me but you don't love me You love Jesus but you don't respect him |

I prefer a lady that love me. Respect is over-rated and valued much by guys that have over-inflated ego. Respect is mutual understanding that ought to be reciprocated by both gender. |

@OP both are needed and nobody should ever settle for less in any union. that question is like asking:" what is more important, your legs or your arms?" lol! 1 Like |

Bluestarry:Your life must really be messed up. Does that equal respect/love? You think girls don't enjoy sex with all their pretence? SMH |

missclasssy: So lets say you have a dog that you love so much, that's assuming you're into pets...Since you love your dog, would you then say you respect your dog too? |
| Re: To Be Respected Or To Be Loved(Guys) by SleekyP(m): 6:51pm On May 05, 2015 |
Both "highly needed" |

Logicalmind1:well!if yours isn't messed up already, then you should be able to identify that as a joke with that smileys, keep shaking the head |

Nneka123:i wonder o.. e just wan open thread ni |
| Re: To Be Respected Or To Be Loved(Guys) by 1one: 6:54pm On May 05, 2015 |
Nneka123: Nahh...not so, respect does not inform love- You respect your boss but does that mean you love him? |
| Re: To Be Respected Or To Be Loved(Guys) by Nobody: 6:54pm On May 05, 2015 |
vizkiz:oh! So either way, you're saying that when a lady respects you, there's high possibility that she doesn't love you as well? I'm talking about a lady with whom you're in a relationship with  |

SleekyP: But if you were to choose one?....If there was absolutely no way you could have the two, which will you drop for the other |

missclasssy:ok missy. |

Nneka123: respect does not create love at times...you'v gatta love someone in order to respect them 1 Like |

Logicalmind1: So every single guy that demands to be respected in a healthy, non- condescending way has an over inflated ego? |
| Re: To Be Respected Or To Be Loved(Guys) by Nobody: 7:00pm On May 05, 2015 |
Logicalmind1:Same way as respecting you |
| Re: To Be Respected Or To Be Loved(Guys) by 1one: 7:01pm On May 05, 2015 |
MRBrownJ: Trust me, even in that question, there's no absolute pick. Some people will prefer their hands, while others will prefer their legs. For someone who is addicted to self- service, which of those options do you think he/she would pick1 Like |

1one: kai bro, did you compare the love/respect of a partner with the love of a dog (aka some pet that you bought)?! |

Nneka123:They don't necesarily equate each other. You can respect your brother(s), sister(s), female & male friends but would definitely not be submissive to them. 1 Like |

1one: although many would pick one, that doesnt mean life living without either one of them is proper....it will NEVER be. you will live what is called a HANDICAPPED life, just like this topic where you will live a HANDICAPPED union. |

vizkiz:Alright, maybe I made a mistake by twisting it the other way round But I still feel it works the other way round too  |

Mathematically Respect is reciprocal.. Love isn't reciprocal. So I'd choose u respect me.. God loves me more dan I do 1 Like |

MRBrownJ: It's worth comparing...We love everything our hearts beat for, whether bought or otherwise. "I love my car" " I love my house". " I love those shoes"... " I love the time I spend with you"....These are all common expressions we make every once and again and the common factor here is love. So you're suggesting that the love you have for something you bought shouldn't be compared to the love you have for something "for free"? The love is coming from the same heart isn't it? so why shouldn't it be compared |
