A girl told my brother falling in his love. I don’t well know other nations cultural practice of ladies asking men the first time fallen in love. But, in my country, Ethiopia, it was man who first asks ladies for love or a partner. If the lady is seriously in pain due to the love of someone, it was by her gesture she was explaining her love. Now, it is becoming official ladies asking men for temporary love or long-term partner.

I am neither a psychologist nor a sociologist to comment well on this issue. Yet, I question whether this cultural change is better than before. I feel that everything is sweet when it is expensive and hidden. The sexual feeling of men is more active when he gets his lady lover in hard, expensive and hidden manner than open initiated by ladies. But I may be wrong as it might be a matter of culture. I may be conservative but my preference is the old culture.

What do you readers comment on this issue although we cannot deter culture from moving forward and still it as we need it to be? Does this culture strengthen or weaken love?

I think ladies should be able to choose what we want also. Why should we ladies sit and wait for a man to choose us? After all, don't we have aspirations and dreams of what we want in a man? Both partners should equally choose each other and maybe we won't have such a high divorce rate.

Yes, Clotee you are right. Ladies have the right to choose from the rights point of view. That is fact.

But from instinctive sexual intercourse point of view, what is obtained hardly, expensively and secretly is more encoraging to motivate men  for sexual intercourse than getting it easily, cheaply and openly. For example, you get air freely to breath and, thus, you dont give it to much value like food. Do you?

Ladies need less or no motivation for sexual intercourse. Hope, you understand me.

Ladies have instictive sexual purposes also and we size a man up within minutes! We want a man who is self confident and able to love us unconditionally.

Clotee: HA! Only an ignoramus, a sociopath, or a narcissist is self-confident in all things. And what you really mean by a man loving you "unconditionally" is that you want to be able to impose restrictions on the man  but not yourself.   :)

It depends on your definition of 'unconditionally'. Is there really such a thing as unconditional love between people? I have my doubts.

Excuse me if I didn't explain myself fully. I will also love my man unconditionally, meaning, no conditions such as he has to be wealthy, handsome or popular. Most women do have a list of conditions when looking for a man and you should be grateful that all of us don't think that way. By the way, aren't you just a little too old for childish name calling Mr. Cripps? Please control you primitive emotions and learn to express yourself without ridiculous insults. This is an open forum and I'm only expressing my opinion Mr. Cripps.

"You should be grateful that...." Implies that you view the power structure of relationships as favouring women, and believe this is justified.   I think you should be grateful that you werent born into a society that treats women as property. As for "primitive emotions"...are all emotions not primitive? Do you think we should do away with emotions completely?

I think that both men and women should have certain advantages in realtionships. The original comment was, "But, in my country, Ethiopia, it was man who first asks ladies for love or a partner. If the lady is seriously in pain due to the love of someone, it was by her gesture she was explaining her love. Now, it is becoming official ladies asking men for temporary love or long-term partner". My response was to Mr. BelaynehkassaWubie"s comments. This is an open forum of various opinions and I surely don't expect to see name calling among mature adults. Primitive emotions are just that but are not the focus here.

it's apersonal matter and unlogical to argue in that way. Ladies have an interest to get her preference for parmanent or for ashort term but not asking is amatter of being shy that comes from the society where she brought up. my arguement is wether she asks or not it doesn't have arelation with what you call it being 'not sweet" in sexual interaction. if we compare the one who asked a boyfriend and the one who didn't do, for me they both have an interest to have their own. the only difference is, the one that not able to ask has hidden her interst and lacks to be clear for her partner which is not adviceable not only in boy & girl friend relations or in amarriage partner relationship but also not for any other type of friendship.
