| Claiming To Treat You Like A Princess Or Goddess Posted: 2/8/2008 9:46:46 PM | | i agree to what you said guys that put on this act give us nice guys a bad name im old school hold a door open for a woman compliment her give a woman the respect she deserves and if shes acting like a butt hole atleast at the end of the date you atleast were a decent guy and you can hold your head up knowing its her loss i treat girls....and everyone for that matter how i want to be treated does it always work out for me??? no but you know what...when they complain about not being able to find a nice guy i know they are not even worth my time because if someone doesnt see that your being a nice guy their going to be looking for a nice guy for a long time until they get their heads out of their butts and theres not a lot you can do. i go home knowing someone will appreciate a good guy and its their loss. i agree actions speak louder than words i found that out the hard way a long time ago..talk is cheap like i said i treat people how i want to be treated and if more people did that everyone would be better off | |

| Claiming To Treat You Like A Princess Or Goddess Posted: 2/9/2008 2:46:05 AM | Any guy who promises to treat you like a princess is implying he thinks you are superior to him, maybe even that he doesn't deserve you. That hardly strikes me as a positive way to go about a relationship... if I was a girl, I'd run a mile when someone said that.
That said, I don't think I could see myself turning down a girl if she promised to treat me like a God  | |

| Claiming To Treat You Like A Princess Or Goddess Posted: 2/10/2008 4:28:16 AM | | First of all, that is just a stupid statement....I've used a variant of it once and regretted every since. Some girls take an honest intention like that and take total advantage of it then tell you later "well you promised". Yes when a guy says that, he usually has dreams of taking care of your every need and being there for you, but for Christ's sake, don't think it's some contract he's bound to! | |

| Claiming To Treat You Like A Princess Or Goddess Posted: 2/10/2008 7:18:46 AM | I dont want to be on a pedestal...sometimes Im gimpy/clutzy, and I will fall down and hurt myself. That's not so much fun, is it?
Really though, I think they may mean well when they say those things, but it's all hogwash. You can only go by how they treat you day to day. One grand gesture does not wipe out 10 stupid ones.
I love this saying:
"The true measure of a person is how they treat someone that can do them absolutely no good." | |

| Claiming To Treat You Like A Princess Or Goddess Posted: 2/10/2008 9:33:51 AM | I agree. I'd rather have the meeting without expectations, and see how he treats me over coffee... rather than potentially false promises of "like a goddess".
lol-ofCOURSE I should be treated nice, so why be redundant with words?
Actions speak louder. I distrust men who feel the need to over-state what should be a given.
Anyway, who is going to admit the opposite ("I treat women like the scumbags I think they are")? | |

| Claiming To Treat You Like A Princess Or Goddess Posted: 2/10/2008 10:03:51 AM | This “treat you like a queen” or "I deserve to be treated like a queen" drivel are just hackneyed clichés. Does anyone really believe those who dispense this type of trite when seeking their ideal? A woman shouldn’t wield a scepter and have a sense of entitlement simply because she thinks she possesses a jewel encrusted twazzer; and whenever a guy claims he wants to put me on a pedestal, I’m thinking he just wants to look up my skirt. The real world is not an enchanted kingdom. A healthy relationship does not have royal subjects, but rather two people working in tandem, reciprocating mutual love, affection and adoration. To any man who dates a “finely wine me and dine me” type of gal, I recommend bringing along a royal food taster and don’t forget…
The pellet with the poison’s in the vessel with the pestle; the chalice from the palace contains the brew that is true. Unless, they broke the chalice from the palace and replaced it with the flagon with a dragon. If that’s the case, then the pellet with the poison’s in the flagon with the dragon, and the vessel with the pestle contains the brew that is true. Just remember that.

To touch your lips tis better then the vessel of hemlock. For your lips would be the brew, to touch the heart,that would be true, tis thee in tandem.

Never on a first date.  | |

| Claiming To Treat You Like A Princess Or Goddess Posted: 2/10/2008 10:15:35 PM | | I think all people should avoid saying statements like that. When you two are in an argument is he still treating you like a princess, doubtful. I had an ex boyfriend who wanted to get back together with me after he had hurt me. He told me that he PROMISED to never hurt me again. I said how can you make such a promise. That is ridiculous! Needless to say, I did not take the bait. I don't believe in promises because you never know what life may throw at you. It the same way with guys treating you like a princess. You can't be a gentleman all the time, and I wouldn't want a guy who submits to me in such a way that he thinks that I am insignificant enough to not be able to take care of myself. | |

| Claiming To Treat You Like A Princess Or Goddess Posted: 2/10/2008 10:31:50 PM | What do you? LOL Smile, say how sweet they are, while backing away slowly to a safe distance. The RUN!
I am sorry, I am sure there are lots of nice guys out there who would bend over backwards for their woman, but if they proclaim to do that with every woman they meet on a dating site, I personally view them as incredibly scary. I immediately feel the need to gasp for air, as I imagine a constantly doting yes man around... Besides that, its not a believale, realistic or even practical claim.
Any woman who would believe that line is silly and any man who would do that is asking to be used, abused, mistreated and discarded by any woman who will eventually walk all over him. Sorry, was that harsh? Maybe there is some unfortunate truth to nice guys finish last? No, not my point, you don't have to be an a hole but you can't be a door mat either.
Goddesses and Princesses don't view anyone as their equals....but as underlings, and subordinates, slaves....staff? Is that what a guy claiming that is looking for? If so, hey more power to the woman who sees herself as a Goddess or a Princes...or the old favorite....a Queen! All hail!
Men say some silly arse shite to get in our pants! Too funny.... | |

I agree,actions speak louder than words.
And I feel if a man has to proclaim how nice of a guy he thinks he is in his profile,then it doesn't seem quite genuine.
Tell that to the girls that say " I decided to write you because you say you are a nice guy in your profile and I think you really are."
I am a nice guy, however it irritates me when girls think we might be a match when they didn't even bother to read my profile.
The big ones are girls with kids. It's in every profile I've ever had that at this point I am not looking to date someone with a kid. But they still write me and treat me like I'm the devil if I mention it.
I don't hate kids, I don't hate single mothers, I would just prefer to date someone who doesn't have kids and over time that preference may change, or it may not.
Of course one thing that would make me even more less likely to date you would be if you said "Well I was pregnant, but I had an abortion" | |

| Claiming To Treat You Like A Princess Or Goddess Posted: 2/11/2008 2:40:41 AM | and what about the one one thats says they are looking for a lady and if you have to ask maybe you arent one or dont know what one is? what's the difference between a lady and a woman? they should be treated the same right? | |
|
| Claiming To Treat You Like A Princess Or Goddess Posted: 2/11/2008 6:12:20 AM | To answer the original question : Run.
What kind of doormat are we talking about here ? It smacks of desperation.
It's one thing to say that you'll be treated respectfully and all that but I operate on a merit system. I would no sooner treat a woman as a goddess or a princess than treat some schmuck on the street as a god or king. If you demonstrate supernatural powers or show me your sceptre then sure, I guess you'll be considered a goddess or a princess but that still doesn't actually change how you'll be treated by me at least. You still have to earn my respect and trust. I would be suspicious of any woman who simply expected it. As such , I would caution all women to be suspicious of any man who offers such treatment unconditionally. He's probably 'safe' but he's probably also quite the sucker and eventually , when it turns out that you're only human after all, he's likely to blame his disappointment over the matter on you as well.
So like I said, just run. | |

I suspect people who woo this intensely have some issues.
Any guy who promises to treat you like a princess is implying he thinks you are superior to him, maybe even that he doesn't deserve you. That hardly strikes me as a positive way to go about a relationship... if I was a girl, I'd run a mile when someone said that.
Yes, and yes, to both of the above, sadly learned from personal experience.
Not to mention that we are all human and sometimes fail. The higher that pedestal is, the further you have to fall. | |

| Claiming To Treat You Like A Princess Or Goddess Posted: 2/12/2008 11:27:39 AM | The best message in any profile is HONESTY, or is that some precious commodity nowadays? Not puffery, or flowery phrases, or self-serving descriptions of how "nice" or "kind" or "wonderful" (etc) you are, but a simple, straightforward presentation of the real you. That takes brutal honesty and critical self-examination, though, which evidently seems in short supply in the dating world. I confine this to the dating world because once you get deeper into a bonifide relationship it becomes much more difficult to hide who you are and what you're really after.
Some people may be more virtuous, but in real life no one is a saint. The problem I see between the sexes is men are notorious for over-inflating themselves and women chronically deluded into wanting a perfect partner that doesn't exist.
I for one don't sugarcoat a damn thing about myself, and I wish more would follow the example. | |

| Claiming To Treat You Like A Princess Or Goddess Posted: 2/12/2008 11:43:43 AM | | I get the ones who want to treat me like a " Queen". I guess its the same. Maybe one step ahead of the princess....anyway, I usually ignore the ones who write that crap. Just respect me and be honest !! | |

| Claiming To Treat You Like A Princess Or Goddess Posted: 2/12/2008 2:20:01 PM | A friend of mine tells me she wants to be treated like a princess. Her reasoning is that she's taken care of others, treated like crap and taken advantage of for years...now she wants to be take care of for a change.
I just shake my head...I was involved with someone who said he put me on a pedistal...I was "too good" for him. I asked him to take me off it - I didnt want to be there. He said he couldnt because he didn't feel like he was worthy to be with me. He ended things when he found someone who he felt was more on his level.
To quote Katherine Hepburn in "The Philadephia Story""
"..I don't want to be worshipped...I want to be loved..." | |

| Claiming To Treat You Like A Princess Or Goddess Posted: 2/12/2008 2:45:28 PM | | I agree....don't need to be treated like a princess...but with respect...altho that can very well translate to similar treatment ie. breakfast in bed, prepare you a 3 course dinner, draw your baths with candles and bath bombs (guys seem really big on those especially the ones that come with the flower petals...lol...cute), fill an entire room with candles, flowers for no reason, etc. I guess the difference is...one is expected behavior and the other is natural...and the former suggests a hierarchy where the latter is about being on equal ground. | |

| Claiming To Treat You Like A Princess Or Goddess Posted: 2/12/2008 4:19:26 PM | I think men say that b/c women want to be treated like princesses, goddesses and queens. I mean, why wouldn't we? And some women do get treated like that, but they are usually the b*i*t*c*hier women...
If I had a man, I believe I'd treat him like he was the king of our castle. I'm just like that. | |
|
| Claiming To Treat You Like A Princess Or Goddess Posted: 2/24/2008 1:13:42 PM | | Well said. My words and actions work together in treating everyone with what is most important: honesty, integrity, respect. Without these, a person is nothing! I value treating everyone this way and naturally, being treated the same. | |
