Who is the glue in a relationship?

The female or the male?
The masculine or the feminine?

Logic says it's the feminine, but...

Reality says it's the masculine.

Which is right?

You may add in astrology signs if you think it helps.

hmmm not sure really. From my own experiences I would probably say the women. I have known so many men to sit moping at home and pining but never actually stand up and fight to keep a relationship together. I have fought for every relationship I have been in even the ones that I relly should have let go. Sometimes the guy has met me half way but I have always been the initiator

But I must say the odd time I have heard about a guy fighting for a relationship they go HARD. I would love to have a guy fight that hard to keep a reationship together, unfortunately with me it is always me making them see why we would should stay together and them just agreeing lol.

Whether male or female it always seems to be the same person who always fights. Suppose if it was 50/50 the way it should be then t would be a nice harmonious relationship....

I personally think the glue is the male in a relationship. Males look to females in relationships to get in touch with their feminine side. Likewise, females look to males to get in touch with their masculine side.

Thus, I don't think people are wrong when they say predominantly the feminine is the glue. I think the glue comes from the feminine in the male.

I don't have a whole lot of experience in this, and most of it is theoretical, but it is impossible for a female to make a male stay if he doesn't want to. Yet, it can be possible for a male to make a female stay. This is ceteris paribus (on equal terms, if the amount of love they have for each other is the same).

My conclusion is that the male is the glue, so females, if you want to fight for a relationship, please don't.. you're just wasting your time.

Haha, that was exactly the virgoan way! 😛

Homosexual relationships follow a fwb style anyway. A homosexual knows that there is very little chance for a LTR that eventually ends in a marriage, and they are A-OK with that life style . It is a no-holds barred unconventional type relationship.

In homosexual relationships, I believe one partner is the feminine, the other is the masculine. It is a bit different. The 'feminine' partner is then the flirt and heartbreaker, moving like a wasp/ butterfly. The masculine partner will also hold the keys as a deal or no deal thing. But homosexual relationships are a bit less emotional and more physical, I would think! And without the basic emotional element, it is not lasting.

Both.

As they say, "Behind every great, strong, or successful man is a great, strong or successful woman." I think the same applies vice versa

I think both genders take from & learn alot from eachother...they both bring to the table qualities that the other can't. For example, females bring that nurturing soft side, while males bring that masculine protection & rawness that women don't have. Either way, the qualities both genders bring to the table are equally important.

The fact that men & women ARE def. different means that both sides always have the opportunity to bring to the table something that the other won't, thus this balances/equals out things.

That's why homosexual relationships work out too.
