Love & Personals – Your guy may change your tires, buy you presents and open the door for you at a restaurant, but he has not yet uttered those three words. Does that mean he doesn't love you?
Zodiac signs? Is this a joke?
Have you never checked out your sun sign? Surprisingly accurate. But you probably think the Law of Attraction is a joke too... :-)
Anything that is based purely on confirmation bias cannot be taken seriously.
And I have checked out what astrologers say about my sign. I can see the bias in my own perception.
What concerns law of attraction, then I don't see how it's falsifiable. After all if someone uses affirmative prayer and universe doesn't produce the desired outcome, the result can always be explained away by blaming the person who prayed for falling short of some illusory standard that would produce the outcome.
Bottom line, the words "I Love You" are used repetitively and without conviction in society. I see it all the time when a person uses that phrase and you know in your heart it is totally insincere. In other words among friends it is cheapened.
Now being married to ONE person for over forty years I will agree that the male does not have the same requirements that a women needs. Men are more neanderthal in nature while dismissing the requirements of their mate. Maybe over centuries we will evolve to the next level but for now women need to realize we are evolving.
I'm sort of like NelsoR some words are special words and are used only when the time is right, action can prove your feelings better then words at times. As our children grew up I very seldon changed a diaper but if the kids got sick I was the one who cleaned up that mess, my wife could not do that and once commented to me that she knew I loved her because she never had to ask for help when the kids were sick and to her the help then was more than words could express. As for the Zodiak signs mine are way to close to my personallity to be completly ignored. By the way I'm a Cancer.
Men say I love you through actions better than words!
That's true, however saying the three words is also a very important affirmation. Tell those around you that you love them, one never knows if you'll get that chance tomorrow. Don't put off something this important till tomorrow, tomorrow is not a certainty for anyone.
Hi Slate, I agree with you 100% on this. Sure actions are important, and can convey caring and affection but this hardly is on the same level as telling someone that you love them. People do lots of these things for people that they care about but don't "love". ex- you rake your grand aunts leaves. For a woman to discern the true extent of your feelings, she has to hear this. In fact, if I was in a relationship with someone and I didn't hear this I wouldn't stick around too long because I would doubt the man's sincerity.
Great article by Jeffrey Kishner over at Dan and Jennifer about "Why Men Don't Say `I Love You'". My favourite part of this article is: "So if your guy doesn't say "I love you," recognize that he may not have been designed to verbally acknowledge the feelings, whether he's too attached to his independence or he's just plain inarticulate. What counts more than the words is that he's doing what he's doing with you.

I grew up in a household where demonstrations of affection were not expressed by words but by action. I had a very difficult time saying "I love you" until I met and married the woman I call my loving wife. She was responsible for changing my reluctance to expressing those 3 words. It took her a few years but we've been married now for over 30. And I don't know if it makes any difference but we're both libras.
this a joke
