Let me propose an idea. How many men here know that it’s impossible for a woman to love him even close to what he considers love?
If this be true...what would be the purpose of a woman saying “I love you”?
A woman says “I love you” but means “I love you for...”:
what you do to me, give to me and how you make me feel.
At the same time she reinforces you to keep on doing that stuff or even more. It’s like dogtraining.
If these things are gone her so called love is gone too.
It’s basically more like a guy saying “I like that you are able to do this and that” ....and even that is ment more honorable than an “I love you” from a woman.
