The idea that men don't want love, to be blunt, is patently fucking absurd.
Love looks different for men of course. Instead of being care based, it's more encouragement based. Instead of cute affection, it's more of a "brothers in battle" attitude.

I mean the idea that men don't want love honestly floored me. It really is fucking stupid to be completely honest, and it's not just fiamengo saying this, a lot of men say this too for some reason, so its not a her thing.
I mean look at football games and tell me those men don't lover each other. Those men are doing all sorts of encouraging in the huddles.
It's amazing to me that people see men as borderline not human. Obviously men's love has hoo-rah attitude, but its still love.
Seems to be operating from a female frame of reference, because a lot or women seem to think that if you don't stroke each others hair and sob with each other you don't really love each other.
Men do not want to be just of use. They want their presence to be valued and enjoyed fundamentally. They also want to be desired sexually.
Oh that's OK, rereading the comment, I did come off rather strong, and yes many men do say this dumb shit, so its not surprising that genuine women would come away with a wrong impression.
I'm a man but can only speak for myself. I do want to be loved, but only by the things that I love unconditionally--My wife, my grandchildren, and my dog. You'll notice I didn't mention my children. I've been married to the same woman for 40 years and we have 11 children together. The feeling of love in the initial stages of fatherhood are just as strong for a man as a woman. But that fades over time for a man and the need for respect becomes dominant. I have 9 boys and it's my duty to prepare them to face an often harsh world. Without respect they will not follow, and you cannot safely lead if you have not well learned to follow. Could say more and would love to discuss with you but I have to go for now. Really enjoyed this piece and I'm going to read more of your stack. Take care.
Agreed.

I accept the criticism. In my defense, I was reporting what a good friend said to me, with quite a bit of conviction.
