Im just going to say, on the topic of submission, you guys might be missing the point of the statement. Im going to explain why it works and is actually desired by women, and why it doesnt equate to slavery.
first of all, overall what we mean is cooperation, and some effort put back into the relationship from the woman. a woman who isnt submissive, doesnt want you to tell her anything, and doesnt think youre fit to be the head. there can only be one leader in a relationship. so let me tell you what happens when you have a woman who is not with your program. she will be difficult. she wants to do her own thing half the time, is always challenging, and always trying to one up you
1. you say "hon, lets go out to eat some place tonight. its getting late to cook, and theres this new place opened up about five minutes from here."
she says "what? why dont you make something? I dont want to go out. go pick me up something."
2. you say "if we want to go to the caymans this year, we need to cut back on the spending for now."
she says "hell no. youre not my boss. Im not saving shyt. YOU save money. I dont know what youre talking about ... but IM going with or without you."
if you feel like dealing with brattiness, entitlement, and a woman who wants to take control from you and call the shots, then thats all on you. but understand, that means you are submitting to her. if you are happy with that, fine. maybe you will have a malevolent woman, and one who has your best interests in mind. thats cool. do you.
but the rest of us, would like submission. that means to boss up in the relationship. to be the leader, and to be the one who ultimately calls the shots. and Ill tell you what that means before you bring out the whips and chains, beatings, slavery, and oppressive talk.
I want to ask the men out there; how many of you had to initiate contact with the girl? how many of you had to work on game, deal with rejection, and find out how to just walk up and holler at a female for her number? how many of you had to pick out the spot, help with the transportation for you two, make the arrangements, and provide a good time for your woman? how many of you are essentially the hosts, and guides for your women?
thus, you have her under your wing. you are the leader. she is willing (submissive), and if you notice, WANTS to have that man show her how resourceful and great you are. to be her guide to a good time. be funny. be the entertainment. protect her when your out. even pay the bill.
do you think females go around doing that for men? or that they want to do all that?
so yes, YOU ARE THE LEADER. dont let anyone tell you otherwise.
now with that, does she follow along? is she by your side? she hold you down? loyal to you? then she is obviously submitting to your leadership, and following your lead in the relationship. she likes you to take point. she wants you to calm her down and listen to her. she wants you to be in control.
thats what submission means. you provide, while she reciprocates and is under your wing.
the difference between slavery and submission? um, I dont know, how about being a prisoner of war, beaten and shackled, and forced into a life of hard labor?
the object of slavery is to have someone work for you, for nothing. a slave is to be underminded, subjugated, and treated all like shyt. and all for a hard days work and for the master to profit off of. the slave had no choice, and is done badly for the purpose of a bottomline in business. the master takes his slaves into a field, and kills them or beats them if theyre out of line. its all take - and its all forced.
then what is submission? its the work and labor that someone puts back in for the one they follow under. but its done A) willingly, and B) as a way of reciprocating what they recieve as valuable from their leader.
submission is already implied in the relationship of man and woman. in many, many ways.
she WANTS you to be the head of the household. to be a good example. to be powerful. she wants you to take the bullet, or go downstairs to check on the noise. she wants the man to lead her into a good life, make more money than her, give her things, and be in control. she wants you to be of many resources, know people around town, and overall not be a spineless wimp who bows and gets punked out by everyone. they cant support a follower, or a chump. they want the leader of the pack.
women even give in to a man with their bodies, by allowing a man to enter them and push in her guts. that is the ultimate submission. the whole relationship is deep, but Im not going to keep telling you. the main idea is, for us in the gems thread, to take charge of your life, and make sure youre not leading her into destruction.
bible or no, history shows us that men are the commanders, and are revered as such.
if YOU want a woman to lead, or take charge of your life, by all means - go for it.
that is your choice. but having a woman willfully submit to you means that you seek cooperation, and companionship from a woman that you are showing love and guidance to. anything less, means that she isnt feeling you, doesnt want to follow you, thinks shes better, or maybe even wants to disrespect what you bring to the table. Im not ever going to go for that. I chose to be the one in charge, and thats the only way it will ever be.
