Hello Ozme,

Thanks for your feedback.

Regarding this:
"I also got the impression that men prefer to speak their feelings only if they can be sure they are met by the woman´s feelings."
and your reply to it:
"Arria, I think this is certainly true among younger men before their self-confidence kicks in."
I have to say this is not at all what I had in mind when I wrote that. I was thinking about a man who had before been mistreated and ridiculed by immature girls for having said "I love you". Apparently that made them believe they could take his feelings for granted, act out on him, and even cheat him.

Regarding what you wrote:
"I agree, but also question when "love" is used too freely. To an extent where it becomes pro forma and is given without any emotional content."

I totally am with you here. E. g. hearing it from a one-night-stand would make me freak out when I was younger. I would yell such a guy right out the door.
"I love your body" - ok, fine with me.
"I want to fuck you 20 more times" - easy, no offense taken.
But "I love you" after like what, 5 hours, none of which has been spent _talking_?
Boy, you might love my body, but you just as sure may hate my personality.

I dislike it when it is said without meaning. I hate it even more when it is said to make up for some bullshit the man did.

As for your definitions: Of course there are many sorts of love, but I daresay Hislittleone referred clearly to a one-to-one male Dom/fem sub relationship.

Kind regards
Arria
