men are the gatekeepers of commitment.

saying "I love you" is a way of expressing such commitment.

It is literally like a women "putting out" and spreading her legs (since women are the gatekeepers of sex).

And they're the only ones who mean it :D

Normally I say it before my boyfriend does, but sometimes he'll say it first when I'm in a bad mood, and we created a way to say "i love you" without verbally saying it, since he knows occasionally I'll shut down and be unable to speak. It helps a lot when I want to tell him I love him but can't verbally say it.

I don't get why it's a problem who says it first, as long as the other person says it back and they're both genuine about it. What's the problem with having the man say it first? Genuinely curious.

But which of the many forms of "love" does he mean when he says it, compared with the form of love meant when she says it? People assume that they both mean the same thing when that isn't necessarily the case.

Also, consider the perspective that when someone says "I love you", they are telling you something about them (they are drugged by nature), not about you.

Men are also the ones bending down on one knee to sign away half their finances for marriage which doesn’t benefit them

There is no place for other sex love,just sex in exchange of favours,money and social benefits

Just jocking,you dont need to say that. Just love.
