Do Women Love Men More Than Men Love Women?
I read an article written by the feminist Germaine Greer recently. It was about if women would need men now they think they can manufacture sperm. She basically said they would because even though it pains her to say it women love men much more than men love women.
Some of her reasoning for this is that men find things to do to get away from women. Things like football or even more so, fishing. Men join clubs that don't allow women because they don't allow women.
Who agrees with this?
Re: codename: MANDINGO
She also wrote that women fought strongly to get those no women clubs to allow women in. She then said why don't men fight to get into the WI or other womens only places. Because they didn't want to was why.
This isn't about who loves the other more in a single relationship. This more a general question including people outside of relationships.

I would say men enjoy mens company more than women enjoys womens company. Also when women are together what is the subject they are most likely to talk about...men.

hmm intersting question.
At an adult age, I think its very equal.
In childhoold and during teenage years, I think women are more likely to fall in love with a guy then vice versa. Men ten to keep a stronger love shield up during adolecense. Thats just my personal opinion. But once they mature, they are the same as women when it comes to falling in love.
Women are also more likely to fall in love with movie stars, or unattainable people. I actually know younger women who truley love certain celebs. Kinda pathetic.

Disagree. Getting away from women doesn't mean we love them less. It's just our nature that we are more social than women. Women have adapted very well using the mobile phone. They can be at home but on the phone for ages, which is a way of getting away from men. However, she's right about the sperm thing, women would still want a man even if he isn't needed for reproduction - they'll need to show off to their friends, won't they?

Men love women just as much as women love men, although they might show that love in a very different way. Never doubt the human race's need for love and acceptance.
But to address the things men do to "get away", it is necessary in even the very best of relationships, to have separate interests and personal space. Men have sports and gentlemen's clubs, women have hobby groups and shopping, using these examples very generally mind you, as there are many other things people do as piques their interests. When a couple spends time away from each other, it gives them things to converse about as well.

One of my coworkers has a fiancee that is controlling, temperamental toward her husband-to-be. She this weekend, changed my buddies plan even though we had planned for about a month to go shooting tomorrow. She drug her friends down here and now is telling him they should go to a casino rather than him spend time with his friends. Last weekend they went to Indiana. He went there because she said they needed to do a couple of things for their wedding. When they got there they spent 10 minutes doing the thing with the wedding. Then she leaves him with his parents while she goes out with her friends. Didn't even bother asking him to go or at least find something that can involve him.
It doesn't just stop with him. I once knew a guy that stayed home with the kids while his wife lied to him and went to clubs all freakin night. So my answer is and always will be tell this crazy lady to get off her high horse. Because on average women are just as guilty as men are of this.

Yes. Because women often fall in love despite looks and age, and men often fall in love because of these,which fade with age and are superficial qualities. I'm sure men love women as a whole as much as women love men as a whole though, and this is just a generalization.

I think that its unfair to generalise either sex. My husband is capable of as much love for me as I am for him, and he shows it. Sure, he watches football and goes out with his friends from time to time, but I have interests and friends too. Thats called being an individual and having interests and hobbies, not "loving someone less than..."
You could say that women "try to get away from men" if they go to a salon or join a woman's book club or something similar. Its totally untrue and not as malicious as she's making it out to be.
I think she's a lonely old goat, personally. LOL.

it boils down to the person, out of all the men you know you only enjoy a minority of their company, in general how can you say you get on better with either sex or say one sex gets on better than another, most men are p ricks most women are bitches i get along with the rest of each gender that are nice people, men don't try to escape women because they don't like their company, in a relationship you need your own time its healthy, single you need you man to man time,same goes for women

"But a MAN will always loves HIS woman more than a woman will lover HER man."
Bigoted nonsense. You can have no idea of the depth of feeling that different women might have towards their partners.
To address the original question, no, I don't think so. Women enjoy other women's company too.

Women love the company of men, and men the company of women. We just disagree on quantity and timing

Not at all, we just love differently. I have spent hours learning how to love my husband and he has learnt how to love me too, now we have far fewer battles because I feel we are able to put each others needs before our own, well, most of the time.....
