Posted by starloverwhat is that reason? missing her? I am missing your point completely
....and that is one reason i would like to be able to *be* with women romantically
no deficit
:-))

Posted by starloverSo when man tells me that he missed me - should I just go 'yeah...;? 🙂
Men and women are wired very differently.
Yes, your man misses you, but not in the same way you miss him. A man very rarely feels waves of sentimental feelings sweep over him immediately after he has departed his love's presence.
T h i s ^ ^ ^
Women understand women better

Posted by starloverHaven't you ever been in relationships?
I honestly don't know

Posted by starloverIt is not what I had been asking of you.
Five long term relationships
I still honestly don't know
How would i know whether your bf means he misses you or not?
Why are you asking these questions?

Posted by starloverBut when you are in relationship and this person is not with you - what do you feel/?
Why are you still surprised at the differences?
We are two very different creatures.....women and men that is
There is no *unisex* about it, believe me
Women think with their hearts a lot of the time
Men think with their heads a lot of time
The two processes do intermingle at times of course

Posted by Ixion120...humans are so complicatedPosted by starloverEven from a woman's perspective I have dated several girls in the past who were relatively chill with some distance being present in the relationship. Sometimes I would even find myself missing them before they did me. Not all the time it just worked out that way.
But i am a woman so cannot answer from the man's POVclick to expand

Posted by tizianiRight? And the fact that you were supposed to detach and go hunting has nothing to do with feelings.
Yup, usually I am the more detached one but it can happen the other way around. And sometimes you can easily end up trading places in the very same relationship.

Posted by Ixion120Right? And when you detached from me and busy 'hunting' - it is ok but as soon as nothing else is on your mindPosted by GemitatiIndeed its not hard to figure out. How to figure out if I miss you? I sought you out...I hit you up...I ask after you, I ask to see you. I tell you outright? Its not verbal hieroglyphics here.Posted by tizianiRight?

Men misses women as we do miss them. Period!
And if man is calling you or texting you it means he is thnking about you and wishes you were there.click to expand


Posted by Ixion120Or love dies with neglect?Posted by Shaniajamthere is no set time...nor any set duration. When me and her are separate there is always a very low level kind of "pining" for my partner but not the sort that I necessarily feel the need to voice openly. If I don't see her for 2-3 days sometimes I will opt to say it out loud. Not seeing her for the work week will usually resort in a public declaration by the end of the week.
So men please explain. When will you miss a woman when you part ways and for how long after do you start missing her? @lxion120 @starlover
But go by the saying Shania..."absence makes the heart grow fonder"click to expand

Posted by Ixion120And I am sure you have male friends who are sitting there with you texting their womenPosted by dontgetmewrongWe're only human...male but human. The thought crosses my mind from time to time If I haven't heard from her. I don't typically obsess over it though.
Seems like it's only the women who think about if they're being missed...do men think and ask themselves if a woman misses them too?
I take the time a part as a time to work and get ahead or enjoy my time with just myself and others (friends, family).click to expand

Posted by Prince_PiscesLmaO!
I am still in awe that straight people need articles to understand eachother. How embarassing


Posted by WeedsAt the point when sitting at the bar with friends you developing
At what point does missing become clingy/needy?

Posted by derpetteso if he knows you're sick and didnt text you the whole day cause he was running around at work the whole day.. and you get the feeling that maybe he doesnt care enough anymore.. does that appear needy?
Lol. As great as it is to describe hunter and gatherer relations, we're in the 21st Century. Arguably, in our market both men and women hunt and gather. (Women working similar jobs as men, or work for similar purposes as men—livelihood of their families.)
As convincing the article is written, I don't think there's a great difference really. Though expressed differently, both men and women have similar needs. It's just the gender roles and conditioning that's been placed over generations. Attachment is exclusive from dependency.
For example, my bf and I definitely need our space to do our own things separately. When he needs his space to focus on work it doesn't mean he feels less for me. Similarly, he knows when I need to focus on work and doesn't hear from me, the same applies. When we're "detached" it doesn't mean emotionally cut-off, it just means our focus is on something else at that moment.

Actually, I feel that way about same gender relationships. How can you NOT understand someone who has the same basic mental, emotional, and physical traits as you do. Men and women are COMPLETELY different. Yes, we need articles, counselors, alcohol, pills, and whatever else it takes to cope with one another. lol ha ha ha ha

Posted by tizianiAnd men talk about how women are complicated. lol ha ha ha ha THIS. As a woman, it's difficult, because we aren't men remember....to provide visual queues and still live our lives. This is why you find women on one end of the spectrum or another. That visual queue thing, but live your life thing...males are the experts. We are genetically wired to attach and expect men to "come home" of sorts. So, this is why we have this wait in anticipation thing and why we as women expect so much when you guys show up. We've been waiting for something to happen when you show up or for you to bring us something when you show up...something other than an erect penis. I don't necessarily mean material goods, but maybe it's an outpouring of affection that we are waiting for...something to indicate that we didn't WAIT in vain. So, this is why when you show up with the items that suit only YOU...we're disappointed. I personally think that we've been groomed to expect too much from each other. Men hunt and bring back the kill, women nurture. Period. It just takes wayyyyyy too much to try to do it all. I'm fine with nurturing and letting my mate know that the problem between us lies in his not accepting/acknowledging the nurturing and/or bringing back the kill/provision from his hunt. Everything else in between is just fluff.
I like to see that she's thinking about my success and me. I don't really think about it or ask myself. I like visual cues. If I don't see it then I assume she is living her life. Which is obviously a great thing too, but one makes me feel bonded to her... the other makes me appreciate her from afar. It's great when you find both in one relationship.

Posted by WeedsDepends on the person. Missing becomes clingy to me when it gets in the way of practical everyday things like the fact that I need to work late or starting arguments, because I needed to tend to a friendship for a minute...because my friend needed me. I don't have lots of these situations, but admittedly, my life IS high functioning. I have work, my own business, kids, friends, family, hobbies, etc. Plus, I need to get some sleep. lol So, for me...I need some wiggle room. Now, my man is more than welcomed to accompany me to the non-work and to some degree the non-home business related stuff.
At what point does missing become clingy/needy?


Posted by tizianiPosted by MsTeeq1974Ok...see, it is simple. The "visual cues" that you're referring to are VERY simple. When you said visual cues, all sorts of things popped up in my head. Like, do you want me to jump out of your hedges and say GOOD MORNING as you're on your way to work or do you want me to send you flowers, or simply text you a photo. Of course, I send photos or I share a funny story about something that happened in the day. That way it doesn't demand a response like, "How are you?" or "How is your day going?", which CAN be answered with one word, but in truth are conversation starters. It also sounds like you're saying that you require distance in order to be able to see the complete picture so that you can remember why you fell in love with her. That's a new notion. I've never realized that seeing a person from 'afar' in the mind without them constantly in your face, helps you reflect. I'm like that as well. When someone's constantly in my face, I'm so focused on trying to walk step in step with them that I can't/don't reflect on their personal value. Hmmm...I wouldn't necessarily say that absence makes the heart grow fonder as much as I would say that it helps to keep things into perspective. I'll never say that absence makes the heart grow fonder, because in truth, with me...if you're ass is absent enough...I'll forget about you. lol Eventually the magic will wear off and I'll develop an urgent desire to have someone else light this fire. THAT'SPosted by tizianiLol I was under the impression what I said was simple though. It's just my personal taste. Not necessarily reflective of all men.

If and when you have to do your own thing, just
1. Send me a picture in the morning of yourself
2. Wear my jersey (figuratively speaking - or wear my ring if we're really like that)
Just those two things really. Things that show me you're invested in how my success is faring.
Other than that, some men want their woman to be around them 24/7 or constantly sharing space and I've never been like that (so far). I like to be able to take a step back and admire what she is up to in her own life from a different perspective every now and then. If you stay too close, you start to become blind to details you fell in love with her over, in the first place.click to expand


Posted by WeedsLol ha ha ha ha
This is all too much for me... I must sit down

Posted by MsTeeq1974That's me... If I have to constantly try to get your atgbetion or you not reaching out or our contact is 5 mins per day and then nothing else. Eventually I'm gonna wonder cause you're putting a lot of things before me so I start assuming that means other people and possibly women too... I just start looking in the fish tank again slowly but surely Š
I'll never say that absence makes the heart grow fonder, because in truth, with me...if you're ass is absent enough...I'll forget about you. lol Eventually the magic will wear off and I'll develop an urgent desire to have someone else light this fire. THAT'S why I need my partner in touch often for me. I've seen what happens in men when they become a "has been" due to absence and it's not pretty. I become the bad person and they're baffled. I guess I'm wired different than most women or I have ADD or something. Men have literally been like, "What? Wait...did you just forget about me?" Ummmm...kinda sorta.

so to go back to an earlier question, if men say they miss you, should women believe it?
i haven't seen my bf in over week now and i miss him so much i feel like my arms are going to fall off.

Posted by MsTeeq1974I say you had not loved, baby. He can be absent for years and be still missed. And if he loves you he will miss you as well in his absence.

Posted by channingtatumsneckI went to this lady to do a card reading for me and my Pisces friend.
yes but they're gay


Posted by tizianiHow can you control someone missing you? And how is that you don't NEED it?
I guess I really don't need to know if someone is missing me (seems negative and hollow). It's more that it's always great to know they spent time thinking about me, of us. What we've achieved. What we're still capable of.
Also what ixion said about not being the centre of someone's universe but a part of their world was brilliant.

Posted by channingtatumsneckIf you quoted it would be understood by everyone what you are trying to say.
yes but they're gay

Posted by tizianiWhat about missing a person knowing that nothing ever going to happen?
"I'm missing you so much right now" text messages = teen angst
"I'm thinking we should go spend some time on the beach" = yes

Posted by GemitatiWhat about in response? I know people do that...just respond to be nice instead of just being honest.Posted by christinelovessnickersI don't think men can be made polite.Posted by GemitatiUnless they are being politePosted by tizianiRight?

If he doesn't think about you he will not call, text but when
confronted 'I was busy' is much easier to say than
pretend he cares by calling/texting.click to expand

Posted by tiziani"You didn't understand my point"...LMBO!!!! I don't know why I find that statement hilarious, but it is. lol ha ha ha ha But Tiz...I don't share the opinon that one should NEED their partner to miss them, but isn't missing someone the very reference point for getting together over and over again in the first place? or no? Who gets together over and over with someone or allows someone to occupy a significant amount of their time unless they FEEL like they are valued/sought out/missed, etc. I totally get the opinion that how one feels about you is none of your business. I reflect on this myself so often. I think a little too much and it might fuel my somewhat lone wolf way of navigating through most of my dating situations.Posted by GemitatiI'm not looking to control someone else's feelings. You didn't understand my point. My point is their feelings of "missing me" are not my concern nor is it my business.Posted by tizianiHow can you control someone missing you?

Nobody NEED it - it is just a feeling you can't help having.
I don't want to know if someone is missing me. I want to know what we plan to do about it. I like it when they share quality thoughts as that is a great bond to build.click to expand
