Something I can't wrap my brain around

[Powemm]

Men are beautifully created by God .. each with specific gifts and talents... they are the priest of the family, specifically used by God to Lead and guide the rest of the body to Him. They are all Alpha males because God is Alpha and Omega.. they are also made in the image same image of Him.. not one man can hold all the treasures of God, but in all men God has put treasures... as women we must not be looking for what has not come out yet in them, but be looking for , encouraging , respecting , honoring and cherishing the man God is making him to be... as women we should be looking at ourselves to see if we are allowing God to prepare us , mend, restore , and rebuild what is broken within ourselves . Asking ourselves the very important question " am I a useable body part that can be appropriately attached as a working body part in the body of Christ.. if a head "the man" is not appropriately attached to the God head (god) how will He know how to attach any other body part (a wife And children) to Him? the head must first be attached properly to the God Head(God)... if it's not. And the head attaches other members to it's body.. do you really think that body is going to work and function appropriately? No it will walk around crippled ... not working affectively as it should... How many families have a head appropriately attached to the Godhead ? How many body's are dragging around it's body parts because of this?how many families do we see in America walking around crippled? There are millions... as a woman I want to be a useable working member attached properly to a working functional body... that means the mans head must be attached in a viable "growing" relationship with God... A woman must make sure she is allowing God to make her a working properly functioning body part who's head is also attached to God... God did not make females the stronger sex for a reason... We were not made to carry the " entire weight" of the body .. The mam was made too... instead if letting the enemy steal our focus to play the blame game as Adam abd eve did. " it's their fault" we should be letting God remove the
Beams from our own eyes so we can really see what's going on.... it's pretty interesting seeing so
Many corpses walking around dragging it's members "family body "along the road of life because heads are not properly attached to God...it's an even a more astounding site to watch a member of these bodies walking around using it's arm( wife) or leg ( children) to beat and kick it's own head( the priest , the godhead , the man)
I try to out into words what my spiritual eyes see..sorry if it's coming out funny... I'm practicing still..

NOTE TO SELF: Avoid guys wearing any form of this

Thanks. You've given me some things to think about.

It can't be something that's just a breakup excuse, as most of the guys I'm talking about say it before there even is a relationship...or even a first date....which is why I can't figure out why they even tell me.

Your comments have helped me see what may be a shortcoming on my part. I was taught not to pursue guys and feel very strongly against it; but maybe I need to realize that giving a guy some encouragement isn't the same as pursuing him, is it? Hmmm...

Not really, and if it is. *shrug* Guys need some encouragement, I am not one to be forward if I feel like I am being pushed away.

I've actually had a girl tell me this when she broke up with me, lol. Probably true.



As for guys telling a girl they think she is too good for him and using that as a reason not to get into anything. That is weird... Probably sparing the girls feelings, but why he would tell her he likes her in the first place is just silly. Oddly enough, the only girls that I feel attracted to are the ones I feel are too good for me, generally speaking. Weird huh?

Various reasons...

4. They're a Yankees fan. <---Self explanatory.

Hey hey watch it now!!! I am a NY'er and take exception to that comment for the men's sake.
Haha not really.. I could care less about the Yankees.

He we go again, one man speaking for all men, and being wrong. I have dated women, who i very much liked, and even loved, that i felt they were still too good for me. I didn't not want to break up with them. It was as simple as i meant what i said, and there is nothing more to read into. And while i couldn't understand what they saw in Me, i didn't dump them.

Clearly I wasn't speaking for all men, because I said that it was simply my own opinion. I am also not wrong, because I've known plenty of guys who use that "you are too good for me" as an excuse to break things off, and I have plenty of female friends who've told me that men have used this excuse on them before as well. If you think this isn't the case, then you are definitely misled and wrong yourself, and you are speaking for all men which will confuse women who get this type of breakup response. I don't care how you view things if you can't take other people's point of views as well. I'm sorry that you think people are better than you, but it isn't always the case of self-esteem. Maybe you need to get a better perspective on what your own worth is, or better yet, maybe you need to find a woman that will TELL YOU what your own worth is, so you won't consistently view them as being too good for you. If they are dating you, clearly there is something good about you that's worth it, so I'm not so sure you have a healthy perspective on things either. Maybe you should start valuing yourself more as a person, and also not judging other people's responses so harshly if you cannot give yourself credit either.

I've actually had a girl tell me this when she broke up with me, lol. Probably true.

Oh look, it happens to men too! I guess I wasn't as wrong as you say. I didn't say it was right or a good thing, but I said it happens and is definitely a possibility. I guess I'm not so wrong afterall?

 

[Hellooo]

With the exception of referring to my parents, you won't ever catch me saying someone is to good for me. Not because I'm good, by any means, but I don't believe anyone else is better.

It's not an attractive thing to hear, assuming a guy actually feels that way. I would assume he was insecure or he is used to being treated like a doormat...its simply not in my personality to constantly reassure a friend or a partner of their own value. I'm generally attracted to men who are extremely confident and who own their personalities, almost to the point of arrogance. A man's appreciation of himself and his appreciation of a lady aren't mutually exclusive, I believe a healthy relationship is not one where the woman is placed on a pedestal. How can any lady reasonably submit to a man who thinks she's too good for him?

If it's truly just a case where a man says you're too good for him because he's trying to let you down easy, I would just let him go ...who wants to chase after someone who isn't willing to man up and say what he actually feels, and spews out a cheap, cop-out excuse in some pseudo-noble attempt to spare your feelings? Who has time for that? It's a little insulting. If that's the motive, on to the next, sister.

We are all wonderfully made creations of God himself. Its natural to have some insecurities, we're only human and we can't be perfect. However, we have to also remind ourselves that every single hair on our head is numbered and we do have value.

I would equate the original scenario to landing a job and then telling your interviewer you don't really deserve it.

If someone doesn't think they are good enough, eventually everyone else becomes convinced.
