Love Or Lust: What Do Men Want
on April 21st, 2009
“Men fight wars over lust, but they make homes and families for love.”
Love and lust seem to go together like peanut butter and jelly – at least they should. Lust is all about the hormones. Without thinking, we want something and in this case it is someone of the opposite sex. There really isn’t anything wrong with that; it is natural after all. On the other hand, love is something that grabs ahold of you and can take you to another level. Love is that thing that makes your co-worker seemingly float into work and constantly have a smile on his/her face. Love is something that is hard to explain, but makes you feel so good inside. Love will make you stop thinking individually and begin to think, act and live life as a unit.
So what do men want more? What do men want first? What do men want forever?
What I Think
I feel sorry for any man or woman who hasn’t experienced both love and lust. I also feel sorry for anyone who is in a relationship and doesn’t still feel some level of both. I don’t believe in the “Love conquers all” evangelists out there. Sure, love will remain, but lust will make you do something you shouldn’t do if you aren’t careful. Lust will make you send someone home and love will have you all snuggled up all night long…if you know what I mean! If someone is in a relationship or a relationship is a possibility, one without the other is a recipe for disaster.
There are several pro athletes, actors and movies stars who have been the victim of a lustful life and love was only mentioned to seal the deal. I feel sorry for them while at the same time wondering what they are thinking. I’m sorry, but if an ugly dude is with a gorgeous woman AND that guy just so happens to have $$$$ in the bank, you can’t tell me they all have nice personalities or are so sweet. No, that is called gold-digging and the main bait is a body most men would lust after.
I’m not talking out the side of my head, I experience this every day. And I’m in a relationship/marriage so you better believe the wifey is clearly straddling the fence between love and lust. I love her to death, but I also lust after her too. I gotta go…
