| I can act like a man - You make me feel like a man
Posted: 10/1/2009 3:40:41 PM | I'm not sure if this is the same but,,,
when I am with someone,,, I feel that a lot of other things just aren't as important,,,
I guess the word would be content,,,

Posted: 10/1/2009 3:51:27 PM | -oh, I absolutely "get" what the OP is saying. To me it's all about that wonderful
male/female energy. Of COURSE I KNOW I'm a woman(!), but there's not a thing in
the world like having that connection with one special guy to light that feminine fire...and it is not all about the sexual stuff....nope, nice though | |

I am not talking about the sexual part. It is the feeling I have about my self. Things like greater confidence, the way our minds connect, and the thought that are shared, validation, and support and balance it offers.
Does this make any sense? Do any others feel the same way? Do any of the ladies have similar feelings?
OP, i know exactly what you mean, and it's a wonderful place in time to be.
But on the obverse, there is nothing else like that same woman being able to make you feel absolutely worthless, lower'n a snake's belly. Nope, only a woman that you took an oath for and with can do that to a man.

Posted: 10/1/2009 4:41:02 PM | I get what the OP is saying! Widowsdesire's post reiterates it from a woman's point of view, and the lyrics she posted spells it out for me. The right man certainly does make me FEEL like a natural woman. Of course I always feel like a woman, but I become so much more aware of those feelings which are intensified when I'm with the right man.
Like she said, being with the right man makes me so glad to be a woman.
(I learned something. I thought Aretha Franklin made that song famous. Never even knew it was a Carol King song, nor that she had recorded it.) | |

Posted: 10/1/2009 6:08:21 PM | Couldn't agree more ...
The women who enjoy you being the man are the most fun. They look more beautiful, you feel more manly and handsome -- and virile.
There are those that enjoy you being a boy, and try like heck to gain control, and that is no fun.
And there are very few in between! | |

I can act like a man. But when I am with a woman, I feel like a man.

Both above quotes are great...
I always act and feel like a woman, but when I am within a relationship the confidence , intensity, and feelings can magnify that feeling...
I LOVE IT! | |

Posted: 10/3/2009 4:55:12 AM | | Op, I do understand what you are saying. There is a great feeling being with a woman who is interested in you and you in her. Call it confidence if you will, but that natural feeling you get is kinda special | |

I think there are also alot of women who enjoy the fact that you still have some boyish qualities without wanting to control you. They know that you are a man and not some grumpy old fish. I think there is both a time for being a boy with 57 years of experience and being a man and when I am with someone they definately bring out the best of each. | |

Posted: 10/3/2009 7:00:34 AM | | Great thread. For me, when I am in a relationship or even just dating and getting to know a man, I pay more attention to what I am wearing, how I look; literally let my hair down - and all of this outer stuff comes from feeling more fully that I am a woman. | |

Posted: 10/3/2009 7:09:08 AM | | OP even if I don't actually know what you mean, how you say it is really beautiful. I don't ever "act" like a woman, I just am a woman and always feel that way too. I think maybe what you're describing is the flush of excitement when you really connect with someone. Perhaps your "feeling like a man" is just...feeling? | |

Posted: 10/4/2009 8:38:15 AM | | I looked it up online, and found that Carole King wrote the song specifically for Aretha Franklin. I'm not sure who recorded it first. I've never heard Carole sing it, but the lyrics were so well done! I'm sure the renditions by each of them were great! | |

Posted: 10/4/2009 12:47:49 PM | Thanks TruGold, you have the definitive answer. I just found out that Carole King wrote the song and Arthea Franklin made it a hit. I happened to be a Carole King fan, and had several of her albums. That is why I associated the song with her.
Either way it is a great song. | |

Posted: 10/4/2009 1:11:55 PM | I've noticed this with "my man" when I'm with one. My being all woman makes them stand straighter, suck in the gut, trot out the courtly manners.
A friend is a hot looking lady who absolutely can charm any man in the world. She finds the spark in all of them. When we go out, at the sound of her voice and infectious laugh every man in the place smartens up and starts acting more "manly". Oh yes, she is here in the pond.
I have to admit to being more focused. There's a certain something about a man that lights me up. This is not only in a romantic situation, it's also when I connect with a man I find attractive. Inside me the engines are running full speed ahead and the periscope is up! Suddenly "the girls" get nippy, my movement slows, the eyes go soft and sparkly, and I can hear only what he's saying.
Oh what a feeling!

Posted: 10/4/2009 2:45:14 PM | | It is a great feeling to feel like a woman having the security of knowing that you are loved you feel comfortable with each other and you are the one and only woman in their life. If everyone treated each other with respect would this eliminate a lot of the divorces? | |

Posted: 10/4/2009 3:24:34 PM | we all have our yin and our yang, although the men have been repressed in expressing that in "society". moreso lately than women.
however, between a man and a woman, with respect to intimacy and being together at the center of the universe, it is an emotional and a spiritual and an energetic fit that goes way past sexuality. it is what those of us who want real "long term" are seeking.
it feels safe for both parties and honors the differences, as well as shows how both are needed. perhaps to bring out the respective yin AND yang in each of us--without judgement and "with" love and appreciation and wanting to nurture the other.
last nite, a man very nurturingly opened a car door for me. i got a warm glow. he's seen me in yang mode in other aspects of my life and respects me for it. however, he understands what i am missing and need. so, he just gave me a grin. he understood, as do i. given our situations, we may have to leave it at that. not sure he is ready for a long term. but, in the interim, it gave me a huge boost! not the money, status, job or power, but "just" a man opening a car door and he became a king. go figure, eh? | |

Posted: 10/4/2009 4:33:12 PM | Aw, Serenity :"just" a man opening a car door and he became a king. go figure, eh? "
--now, see, that just touches my heart in a way that only ten years ago it wouldn't have...because life has brought me to a place of recognizing the true sweetness in all that "man" stuff. Of course it's "the" man in lots of ways unique to him that matches up with "the" woman in me. That special gift. Yep. | |

Posted: 10/5/2009 12:54:24 AM | well morningsong 53, i made sure to let him know! he was kind of flabberghasted, but also pleased. he said i was the only one he does it for. now there was a "line"! sometimes men have no clue what really makes us happy--and i am finding that the same applies to us. but then again, there are the gold diggers and the arm candiers. for me, that part i can do on my own. it's the masculine persona and the energy that i cannot provide to me. workplace issues are not gender based as far as i am concerned, aside from the political-economic barriers in history. so, i guess i just have too much yin, under all my yang!
at any rate, OP gets it and i bet he gets lots of dates from this thread!!!!! | |

Posted: 10/5/2009 1:13:19 AM | | I have had two men say that to me: you make me feel like a man. I've never asked how - I knew them well enough to know. It was said with great solemnity and honesty. It really touched me. I knew they hadn't been feeling that way before. | |

Posted: 10/5/2009 4:55:52 AM | | Yes, well, I feel like a man whenever a woman points out to me that the toilet is blocked and needs to be fixed, or that its garbage day and the trash needs to be put out, or that her car won't start because the battery is dead..... | |

Posted: 10/5/2009 5:53:30 AM | Whoa, SoTexMan ... I just read your profile. Bummer that you are 3 hardiness zones away. Chomsky and Springsteen? Be still my heart.
Also bummer that you wrote your post three years ago. Threads ought to be retired after a few months so that conversations can actually continue among the people who post in them. | |
