Men's and women's natural tendencies complement one
another nicely, creating solid incentives for pairing-up to tackle life's
challenges. Of course everyone is different and couples create countless
scenarios, but common threads weave their ways through most relationships
shared by men and women.
While each gender brings something to the table, men
are the biggest benefactors in most pairings; trading sensitivity and
understanding for manly traits like stoicism and brute strength. Whether mothers, wives or daughters; there
are plenty of reasons for men to respect women, including the following:
Women
See Things in ways Men Can't - Women carry a unique
perspective that's hard to put a finger on, at times. Perhaps explained by the
fabled "women's intuition", they just have a knack for getting to the
heart of the matter, without requiring a logical progression of ideas or
actions to arrive there. Not that they don't lean on perception and observation
like men do, but women somehow seem as though they'd be fine with or without a
great deal of forethought.
Men
do Better with Women's Support - The old adage holds
true for a reason: Behind every great man, there really is a great woman. More often than not, men reach greater levels of
fulfillment in their lives, when partnered with strong and understanding women.
Whether career ambitions or child-rearing duties, men with female support
embark more confidently toward success - perhaps explaining the phenomenon.
They
are Mothers - Men share close bonds with their
mothers, in much the same way "daddy's little girls" hold special
places with fathers. You don't need to be a "mama's boy" to
appreciate women on a maternal level, though. The experiences you've shared
with mom are enough to carve out an everlasting bond. And you are ever-indebted
for her efforts - not the least of which is bringing you into the world.
Mirror
Image of Men - In many ways, men and women occupy
opposite ends of the spectrum. Physically, emotionally and motivationally; men
and women are like night and day. Men's respect for women acknowledges it, and
salutes women for filling in the blanks where men fail to see the light.
Women
are Smarter - More than just lyrics to an old folk
song, women carry unique understanding that eludes men. While it is hard to
quantify smarts, it is safe to say women bring insight to the table, which
might otherwise escape male audiences.
Compassionate
Beings - Empathy and compassion are much-admired traits held
by women; especially by men who sometimes need sensitivity training. Women seem
to care about others more than men do, at times, so men respect them for
getting in-touch with their feelings.
Born
Nurturers - In addition to abstract commitments to others,
women actually do something about it.
Tapping maternal instincts and kind dispositions, women start nurturing
others at young ages. Girls help
siblings and parents, and then grow up to nurture their own children. Men
respect women's ability to take-on nurturing roles without hesitation.
Women
are Strong Negotiators - Men are called on to bargain
with car dealers and make sure no one gets ripped off by the furnace repair
man, but it is actually women who shine brightest during negotiations. Stopping short of manipulation, good-hearted
women influence others to see things as they do, yielding compromise and
progress faster than men who draw lines in the sand.
Spiritual
Strength - Men admire women for strong spiritual connections
they develop over the course of their lives. Women earn additional respect for
applying their strength of spirit in meaningful ways; through charity and
outreach.
Unselfish
Actions - Women prove worthy of respect time and time
again, engaging in unselfish acts of kindness, at the drop of a hat. As
daughters, mothers and mates; women contribute immeasurable positive influences
to the lives of those around them.
Men love and respect women for countless personal
reasons, but universal adoration stems from some of women's most endearing
traits. Men need not look far for worthy reasons to respect their female
counterparts.
