| I can act like a man - You make me feel like a man
Posted: 6/7/2006 9:00:18 PM | I was talking tonight during dinner with a friend about love and relationships when this realization came over me.
I can act like a man. But when I am with a woman, I feel like a man.
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? | |

It has been a while since having someone in my life, but I remember feeling beautiful inside and out. | |

Posted: 6/7/2006 9:44:07 PM | | This post made me smile. Makes perfect sense. I am many things in my daily life, mom, co-worker, provider, friend, etc. It's absolutely amazing when a man can make me forget all these things and I become just a woman. | |

Posted: 6/7/2006 10:06:14 PM | Hmmmmmmmm...I think the feeling one gets too is being more aware of this and the little nuances that go into flirting (unconsciously) because you feel feminine. Its beautiful. Great thread! | |

Nah, dog, that's just hormones, nuttin' but hormones.
Seriously, we do act a little differently in relationships from the way we act when we aren't in one. I am not sure if that is a matter of greater confidence or pride, or if you are scared of screwing up! While I am a great advocate of being a whole person--i.e., not needing someone to make me whole--I acknowledge what you are talking about. Interesting idea.

Posted: 6/8/2006 6:14:59 AM | Well, I am not sure what you mean by "feel like a man?"
When I am with a woman I am connecting with, I feel more like a "human." Like you mentioned, my sense of self-confidence gets better, but also my sense of compassion and understanding of the world seems to improve.
When I am with other men, most times, its a guys thing. Sports event, grilling in the yard, home improvement or business. Not that I cannot share these things with women, but with men there tends to be more competition. Sometimes there is more urgency and showmanship. Those are the things I associate with "macho" and maybe my perceived definition of being a man.
When I am with a woman, the things that come out tend to make me appreciate my humanity.

Posted: 6/9/2006 7:54:03 AM | Oh, yes, Blue- makes absolute sense. When I'm with a nice man, I feel more feminine- it has been so long since that happened that I had forgotten about this effect.
Thank you for reminding me about something that wonderful and letting me start off my day with a smile!

Carol King - Natural Woman, early 70s came immediately to mind.
Looking out on the morning rain
I used to feel uninspired
And when I knew I had to face another day
Lord, it made me feel so tired
Before the day I met you, life was so unkind
But your love was the key to peace of mind
Cause you make me feel, you make me feel,
You make me feel like a natural woman
When my soul was in the lost-and-found
You came along to claim it
I didn't know just what was wrong with me
Till your kiss helped me name it
Now I'm no longer doubtful of what I'm living for
Cause if I make you happy I don't need to do more
You make me feel, you make me feel,
You make me feel like a natural woman
Oh, baby, what you've done to me
You make me feel so good inside
And I just want to be close to you
You make me feel so alive
You make me feel, you make me feel,
You make me feel like a natural woman.
There is nothing that makes a woman "feel" like she is "all woman" than being around a man. The feelings, for me anyway, are at their greatest when I am around the "right" man. Not only does being around the "right" man make me "feel" like a woman, it makes me "glad" I am a woman too. | |

I understand exactly what you are talking about. I have not felt it for a while and it is a very good feeling. One of balance and peace. A feeling that you are in the right place with the right person.
I guess that is what is the most diappointing here. I get a lot of emails, but none make me feel like a woman. Most make me feel like a piece of meat, or someones punching bag. It is pretty bad and slim pickings from what I can see so far. I get some nice ones too, but always from someone that is clearly not suitable because of age, country or interests and life choices.
I finally made that step to say to someone, hey, I think you and I could possibly have a good relationship...this is why...and this is what I would like to see happen...if you are in agreement or have similar ideas, let me know what you think.
He was very nice and said he was thinking on it, but that was that. It was hard to make that step, because I was raised in a way that says a nice woman doesn't approach a man, but I am glad I did it. I am not yet sure if I can do it again if someone as suitable and interesting came along. I wonder was it too straightforward, I worried about being too interested. I think it really does take those male genes of aggresiveness to do this all of the time.
I really do want to be in the company of someone that makes me feel that I am a woman and that it is good to be one.

Posted: 9/30/2009 6:36:55 PM | | Nothing better than feeling ultra feminine.....smelling good, wearing perfume and looking my best. Whenever I am with someone that provokes that in me.....I love it. Can't duplicate the feeling by shopping with the girls........it takes a good smelling, thought provoking man to make me flutter my lashes and look into his eyes and I start twirling my hair....putting my hand on his to have that male female contact. Just to listen to him breath and I find myself matching him breathe for breathe. And to put my head on his chest and hear his heart.........is a feeling you can't duplicate whenever your with the right man........... | |

Do any of the ladies have similar feelings?
I have to admit that I'm totally worthless as a man.
And no woman ever made me feel like a man either!
I'm gonna have to take your word for it gentlemen!

Posted: 10/1/2009 5:52:14 AM | I hate to think the only time I feel like a man is when I'm with a woman. In that case, I wouldn't be feeling very manly lately. I can't agree with this one at all my friend. This U.S. male feels like a man all by himself, without any help from a woman. Of course, having one around isn't all bad either.  | |

Posted: 10/1/2009 11:32:39 AM | As Jack Nicholson said to his co-star in "As Good As It Gets":
"You make me want to be a better man. . ."
What a great compliment for any woman and I think the reverse is true. When you find someone who really makes you feel good, in-touch, warm, fuzzy (all those great feelings), it makes us want to be our best selves around that person. And we want to give them pleasure. Not only in a sexual sense, but by mirroring their masculinity in our feminism and vice versa. | |
