A Question for Men

[Merewyn]

Gentlemen! What do you do to treat a woman like a princess? (Ladies, if you have ideas about what makes you feel like a princess, go ahead and tell me that too!)

Thanks!

[Pure Ahimsa]

Listening to them is important, a good conversation can really boost the relationship hehe

[Shana-chan]

My hubby always makes me feels spoiled. My family always told me I was spoiled, but I really didn't have that much, and I usually had to 'pay' (through allowance) with my own money for the things I wanted.

But, the one thing that always stands out in my mind, the best night I had with my husband, was that it was the day of my prom, but my parents hated me and wouldn't let me go to the prom (my SENIOR prom, too >.<! ). So, I snuck my prom dress (a medieval dress, very authentic-type) and makeup and accessories into my backpack and we had a formal prom in the park. It was so romantic. We went to dinner at this super nice, kind of expensive place. (About $40 for dinner.)

The owners were very friendly, and we were the only ones in the restaurant. They gave us a couple bottles of sparkling cider, and after dinner, they gave us a free piece of cheesecake (on the house!) to share between us.

Then we danced together in the park, in this big gazebo type thing. ^_^ It was soooo nice.

*blush* Anyways, take your girl out to a nice, romantic, dressy dinner once and they'll love you forever, because they'll always think of it when they get mad at you. ^.^ Although, it's nice to take her out about once a month, too. ;3

[Kadynas]

I guess it's different for everyone, but as a woman I like it when my guys are cuddly... lots of hugs, backrubs, that sort of thing. And it doesn't hurt if they always tell how much they love me/want me/etc. :lol: I also like a guy that can make me laugh and knows how to have a good time. I think a little part of every woman likes the romantic stuff... flowers for no particular reason, compliments, a nice evening out. But for me, I like closeness with a bit of fun. I like to get a little silly and wild. :lol:

[wakywitch]

Communication, lots of touchy, feely,kissy.
Just being a good friend is most important to me.

[charmedkisses1]

Little, unexpected, presents. They don't have to be expensive. Just romantic or senitmental. :)
What comes around goes around :D ;)

[Silverwings]

^ What CK said :D

When my love plays his guitar for me, I like it a lot :D.

I remember one time, with my ex, we were in his car and we were driving along and he said I had a smudge on my face, so I pulled down the mirrior thing to look and rose petals feel and it was very very sweet.

[Flaire-FireStar]

What if I don't want to be treated like a princess?

[ravynbynorthwynd]

i liked to be touched a lot. but i dunno beyond that.

[Tsuchimaru]

Listen to all her problems and do anything for her. :)

"A women is to be respected and cherished"

[arctic splash]

This isn't necessarily what I *did* do for a princess (some of it I have, some I haven't). I ain't no untarnished Galahad, and in many ways, I've been an obnoxious loser. This is, however, what I *would* do for a princess. And we all know that princesses come once in a lifetime, so I'm unlikely to find another! :sadman: But theoretically...

When I treat a woman like a princess, it's because she *is* a princess, and I tell her so. All the time.

I surprise her by taking her shopping for clothes befitting a princess, and then I take her to a fantasy themed inn and show her how regal she truly is.

I buy her flowers for no particular reason. I write her cute little notes and hide them in her books for her to find when she least expects it. I kiss her hand and move her fingers in total wonder and awe that living, breathing flesh could belong to such a magnificent creature.

We dress as Romeo and Juliet. We dress as Tristan and Isolde. We conquer the world together. She gives me the courage to be a better person, to take on the world, and with that courage... I fight for her. I show the world how proud I am of this dream that's fallen into my arms.

I tell her all the time how much she means to me. I cannot get enough of cuddling with her. I listen to her, trust her, and respect her. I encourage her in every way to make her dreams come true. I go out of my way to make her happy. I couldn't tell her enough times how much I love her. It puts me in a state of true bliss to see a genuine smile on the face of a princess.

[misschief]

i'm not a typical female, it takes something grand and extravagant to make me feel like a princess... but, i'm a leo.. so... ya know.... i don't want to be the princess anyway, i'd rather be the queen :lol:

[Morr]

ok im a lesbian, so im going to answer this cause aside for my body and screaming when theres a creepy crawler in the house - im practically am a guy...

~ Random little gifts are great, it can be just giving her a rose, or a little necklace, or just taking her out for dinner at her fave resturant.
~ Remembering important dates - VERY VERY VERY IMPORTANT TO MAKE A WOMAN FEEL SPECIAL.
~ Telling her she looks amazing, even when she has that green cream on her face to prevent wrinkles.
~ Surprising her at work with flowers and taking her out to lunch.
~ Leaving her little "i love you" notes around the house (on the fridge is fun).
~ PG 13: Making it *ALL ABOUT HER* in bed...

ok, thats all i can think of for now... im late for work, damnit! :lol:

[Frater Arcane]

Lock her in a tower and/or feed her poisoned apples :deviltail

[Shanti]

My SO does nothing special. Why, because neither of us feels we have to. Just loving each other by being ourselves everyday is enough to makes us both feel fine!!! :)
We both acknowledge the simple things that occur naturally, like a look or touch. We are very easy people to please!! :)

[Kadynas]

Lock her in a tower and/or feed her poisoned apples :deviltail
Wow... bitter? :lol:

[Twig]

What do you do to treat a woman like a princess?

NOTHING!!!!

For my TwinFlame is a queen...nay a Goddess! And I would never demean her station by refering to her as such a thing as a mere princess.

Well......
Storm the castle and slay the dragon of course, thus rescueing said Princess. Then taking her back to the Castle you had built for her.




ummm number one thing? "listen" and I mean listen. dont just nod your head. Usually, that will get your girl's attention and heart faster than roses. Roses are nice, flashy and showy, but of the moment.......Listening is a commitment and says you care for who she is and what she says.

[arctic splash]

maybe you should have a talk with my husband.. lol

*sigh* I know. I've actually thought about it. It's sad... Somehow you've got to make him remember how great it felt before he started being like this, and how unsatisfied he probably feels now. If he's at all sentimental, in any way, use that. :)

That's very beautiful. That *should* be enough. It's enough for me. :D

Still I hope I can be forgiven for wanting to take her wonder by wonder, over sideways and under, on a magic carpet ride.

Yes, but what if she's a goddess and a princess....

[Rudas Starblaze]

ask Rowan Moonstone!

R.M. _pounce_ _inlove_ :hugz: :smoochypo :fpraise:

[Sonic Seamus]

The one that always seem to get her is when I gentley(sp?) grab her face and kiss her when she's mid-sentence for no other reason than being struck by her beauty. Little spontanious acts of love and affection go a long way but a good home made candle light dinner and foot massage do wonders as well.

[BabblingImp]

I think to feel like someone special, Princess Godess ect. Any little unexpected thing like "I saw these flowers and I wanted you to have them!" That I would find most special! And when they talk to you and listen with care, I don't need a big spender but as that song goes "What would you say if I took thoughs words a way?" (I love you)

[6th Angel]

I agree that little spontaneous details help, but what makes me feel like a princess is when he only has eyes for me. :hearteyes When he makes me feel like I`m the only and most beautiful woman in the world for him. _inlove_ That just makes me float. _cloud9_

[claxon]

Lock her in a tower and/or feed her poisoned apples :deviltail

You forgot the bit about climbing up her hair

[Ninjakitten]

Take an interest in my interests, at least the ones I take to heart (oh and all that communication stuff, too). Too much to ask, men? I'd think it wouldn't be in my case since I love sword slashing, practicing ninjitsu, making, wearing, and beating armor, pounding things out of leather, dressing up in medieval and Renaissance garb and getting wierd looks from "mundanely" dressed people. Geez, just because my fiancee would have to socialize somewhat and armor up so I can pummel him...

[arctic splash]

Whoa, Ninjakitten, are you implying that it's *easy* to get men to take an interest in this stuff?

If so, it's revolutionary. I'm more normal than I thought. And here I was thinking being a SCAdian made me an eccentric...

[Bainidhe Dub]

Maybe I'm weird or something.. but it takes just something so simple to make me feel special.

Just listen to me. I like long, in depth conversations.. about anything... I don't need expensive clothes and such.. not saying those aren't nice.. just.. I would rather have someone I can connect with, someone I can bear my soul to, and not have them laugh or throw my words back at me.

*Show* me you care, with actions - something sweet like my favorite flowers, a late night call, a light touch here or there.. flashing a credit card is gonna get you nowhere with me. Been there done that. It's all superficial and that's not what I'm lookin' for.

[Aedrais]

Hmm... I want someone to treat *me* like a princess...

I love the old fashioned things, like holding doors open. :thumbsup: Or lots of cuddles.

I love to feel like... someone thinks I'm something delicate and precious, and would protect me from the big bad world if I got a little lost and scared... I don't know exactly how they'd go about that. Tell me so? :D

Honestly, though, just being told how wonderful you are, or how beautiful, or how much someone loves you... when we can't find the actions to prove our feelings, words are all we have to try and explain how we feel. Words are miracle workers. ;) So lots of sweet talking, there, gentlemen.

[DianaStormDancer]

i'm not a typical female, it takes something grand and extravagant to make me feel like a princess... but, i'm a leo.. so... ya know.... i don't want to be the princess anyway, i'd rather be the queen :lol:
Oh here here....a level I have been lifted to myLEOself by my Twinflame who made me feel like a Queen the day he asked for my hand, and has always made me feel as such even before he had the nerve to admit his feelings for me. The way he makes me feel is beyond measure and I wouldn't say its like a Queen....more like a Goddess most times...To you my Lyon....my HEART, my Soul, my Love and Life eternal.

[diamondtiger]

I used to care about flowers and being romanced (because I thought I was supposed to). Yeah, I would get all upset if he forgot my birthday or didn't acknowledge our anniversary. I realized though, that those things don't really matter. The things he does that make me feel special are so simple, that often they are taken for granted. For example, when we were separated, I needed fence posts for the house I was moving into so I could contain the dogs. He had them at his place. He got up early one morning and dug them up before leaving for work, so I wouldn't have to do it. Then there's my car, he HATES working on it. It's always breaking down, and he always says “this is the last time”, but the next time it craps out, he's out there fixing it. And he teaches me how to do some of it myself. Doesn't make me feel like a “stupid girl”. Also, music... there are certain songs that I really like, he can't stand them. He'll play them for me anyway because he knows I like them. Restaurants! Example, he loathes sonic. I like their drinks. He'll stomach the food and not say a word, because I want to go there sometimes. (Not anymore, since he told me this, I think why put him through that). Before it became such an issue to dl music, he spent forever looking for a song for me that he didn't care at all for. Purple Rain, the Leanne Rhymes version. He found it and surprised me with it after I got mad at him for “spending so much time on line”. (I still feel like an a$$ for that). And the way he looks at me. Sometimes when I'm off in my own little world, I'll look up and he's just watching me, then he'll smile and go back to what he was doing. Oh, and he laughs at my jokes. Not all of them, but the funny ones, even though sometimes I'm not really making a joke. Those are my favorite times, co's it's genuine laughter. Then he'll call me a “Dork!” lol I love it!

He may not say the words, heck, he may not even want to admit it sometimes; but I know he loves me. Talk is cheap, and “I Love You” is done to death. Though sometimes it's nice to hear, I'll take the “little things” over the words any day.

[Phoenix Snowrose]

I wouldn't know I've never been treated like a princess before. All the men I get involved with turn into grotesque, pig-headed, thugs
Hence why it's been 2 years since I've dated.

[Druchii]

Honestly I don't know if princess is the right word.
I just try to listen, to remember that women in general have to live with our silliness, rudeness, and sometimes blatant stupidity. And I can excel in all those areas more often than I like to admit...
I figure that ANY woman that is willing to spend time with me, possibly bear 9 months of carrying a child, put up with my hobbies, my worries, my animals, my screwy traditionalist family, AND anything else my demented little head comes up with...
then they deserve everything I can provide for them, from installing a whirlpool tub, to foot massages, to endearing e-mails, to surprise anytime gifts, to voicemails or notes saying happy birthday or happy anniversary BEFORE the day, to actually doing more than my share of housework when they are sick. :)

[Wolfscout1]

Hhmmm, since I'm disabled and stay home ,,, I do what i can around the house so she doesn't have to. make the kids do their fair share depending on age etc.

Make sure I've done anything she asked that i was able to do.....

here's normally what i do when it's close to her time to be home ::

If it's been a good day medically for me, I'll have supper ready, table laid out.
If it's cold outside like now, the fireplace will be going and no lights on in there.
Meet her at the car if I'm able, carry in whatever.
listen to the "come Home - wind-down talk" offer what i can.
put dishes in washer and go sit for some more small talk, and see how evening progresses.

day by day....

[SacredWithin]

I have to be touched, held, stroked, worshipped and spoken to with respect. I must be taken places regularly and be shown off as the Queen/Princess (whatever I feel like being at the time, although I am called the Queen) around everbody we know. I like the old-fashioned door opening and pulling out the chair (and being seated first).

I enjoy intelligent conversation and a sense of humor is a must! My dog has also got to like him. :lol: And he's gotta like animals. The sex must be good and regularly too. :lol: (damn Scorpios) Gotta love music and dancing. (I don't know many men who can actually sing):ugh: He's gotta be interesting in a good way. An attempt to look nice every once in a while is good too. And knowing how to cook is a plus.

I forgot to say, he must be willing to give me massages too. My boyfriend does everything for me._cloud9_

[Sith]

I resist the impulse to smack them. :bothsides

Actually, I listen to them, nod my head, and say, "yup" a lot.

[claxon]

And does that work?

[Radocs]

I go out of my way to not hit them with my car.

[Ninjakitten]

Whoa, Ninjakitten, are you implying that it's *easy* to get men to take an interest in this stuff?

If so, it's revolutionary. I'm more normal than I thought. And here I was thinking being a SCAdian made me an eccentric...


<sigh> Maybe I'm eccentric, too. Is it really too much to ask to have a man that isn't so boringly "normal", though? I mean, come on! SCA is a great place to live out fantasies yet stay in reality... and get exercise and partake in many hobbies at the same time! Sure beats soccer or sitting in front of the zombie machine (TV) all day! I guess I'm just spoiled because every man I've ever dated has been involved in SCA, or a Live Action Role Playing group or something like that except for the guy I'm dating now. I don't know, maybe the kissing of hands, having men give me a slight bow, actually being polite (except when I'm in the pit trying to pummel them), and not talking about bills, jobs, or television for at least a weekend a month is what appeals to me. Everyone needs an escape. I just make mine productive. And what little alcohol I do drink is a piece of art that someone has homebrewed and gives out for free because all the brewer really wants is to show off and recieve praise. Well, at least Ben likes sushi. I guess that's a rare and nice escape from the normal.

[morrigan]

hubby says listen to her, love her and give her everything :)
Blessed Be ~Morrigan~

[Carmelo]

~ Telling her she looks amazing, even when she has that green cream on her face to prevent wrinkles.


Personally I find that if you look for the princess inside all else about looks fail. Finding that princess inside of her guarantees me that no matter how she may look to anybody else, she will be the one beautiful creature I have had the luck to lay my eyes on...even when she wears the green stuff. The way I see it, she goes through that in order to appease me visually so the least I can do is treat her like the royalty she deserves...provided she bought the prince his mead. :D
