- From the Heart and Soul, of a Woman
First, let me explain that certain words trigger me more than others. "Should" happens to one of those triggering words. To me it implies constriction, minimizes choice, as well as the sense of freedom. I am not sure if you chose it here with great intent or not. I am not sure to respond as such or not. Bear with me here. Freedom is one of my highest values. Any sense of "should's" impinges on my sense of freedom. I am most happy, joyful, productive, creative and loving, etc, when I feel free. The belief in 'should's' diminishes my sense of freedom and thus just adds a sense of constriction to my Being. I prefer not to live that way. I am happier when I do not.do you know what a woman should be for a man?
A reframe that feels massively different in my body, my Being and my experience, is "Am I aware of what my man (when I am in relationship) would prefer? I could say, absolutely with all that I am, I open to learn, understand and know his preferences the best I can. I've done my best to understand men's preferences overall. I know each is individual too.
If there is some special list of should's, I don't know anything about it.
do you know what a woman should be for a man? And are you ready to accept that?
This may sound petty, but doing something as a should, in my experience, often diminishes the outcome. If I am told I should do something to please my man, it implies a lack of choice and instead a sense that something is done out of obligation or based on expectation. That may seem meaningless to you if you assume the result is the same so who cares. The result is not the same. Not even close.
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE doing whatever I can to brighten my man's life, day, Being, whatever, in whatever way I can. It brings me happiness and joy and good feelings. Doing something for my man because I have the freedom to choose it and inherently would because it pleases him, results in a delivery of whatever that is from an open, caring, happy, joyful heart. If something is relegated to I should do something for him. It takes away the choice, it creates a sense of obligation, it becomes a 'to do' rather than a joy of giving.
The words sound nit picky, I know. The energetics are an entirely different experience, if you can understand the distinction I am making. The relationship is a whole different world as well. A woman making a man his favorite breakfast, giving him a back rub, making a yummy dinner, wearing his favorite sexy clothes, respecting his need for some cave time, how she shows him physical affection and a billion other things, are done with love and affection and the joy of expressing care for this one you love. A woman whose world is driven by I should make breakfast, I should make dinner, I should rub his back, I should wear some sexy clothes, I should show him some physical affection...becomes one without choice, but simply obligation to the should's. I suggest that eventually all those should's become resentments and irritations, even if she once liked them, because you took away her choice to choose them and to choose to please him.
To drive the point home, consider a BJ or sex with a woman who REALLY wants to please you and is happy to please you vs a BJ or sex with a woman who is told she should give you a BJ, she should have sex, but isn't really choosing or therefore freely having the space to want to. Maybe some men are just thrilled to get a BJ or any sex period. In a LTR, sex with a woman who is happy and free to and excited to please you vs a woman who is relegated to believing she should will have a whole different frequency and passion.
To finally answer your question, am I ready to accept the list of should's, I would say not as should's but I would absolutely want to know and understand his preferences. Will I accept all of them without question, regardless of my own preferences? I am willing to go to great lengths to please a man in my life. Will I sacrifice my own well-being, integrity, self-respect or alignment? No, not for anyone. I won't lie. I won't steal. I don't do drugs. I won't participate in the harm of another. Etc. In my experience, a man who truly loves me will not ask me to do things that sacrifice my well-being, integrity, self-respect or alignment. I have no idea what kinds of things are on the list you speak of. I am curious and would appreciate if you'd share it, please. That's the best I can offer with what I understand in your question.
P.S. The sharing about my experience of should's vs choosing from preferences, applies to everything for me. It's not a female/male relationship power trip or something. It just happens that we are discussing men and women when it came up.
