A human person is entitled to his own feelings. These feelings determine your attraction to a person. It is important to understand gender identity, which is who you think you are. This determines the woman-ness and Man-ness of an individual. The way express ourselves is gender expression. Biological sex is who we are born as. Attraction is who we are romantically & sexually attracted to. The three important factors for romantic relationships are sexual attraction, romantic attraction, sexual orientation. A relationship can exist without some of these but it wouldn’t be as meaningful. Which means they are independent of one another. To me, I think that romantic attraction is the most important for a genuine relationship. It’s the affinity and love for others and the desire for emotional relationships. I think this is how I would determine if a girl is worth marrying or not.
Gender differences in emotional expression have a stereotype for each. Man report more pride, discussed, contempt. Woman report more warmth, happiness, joy, shame, guilt, fear, nervousness, and sadness. I believe that men like myself are expected to internalise our emotions and women are expected to express their emotions more. Men are also expected to be the more dominant gender and also the provider. Women are expected to be supporters and pleasure the male. In topics regarding sex, men use sex for satisfaction and desires. For women sex and love are inextricably intertwined. I believe that the modern world is beginning to be more liberal about these views. The world is slowly accepting other perspectives and sexual orientations. The basic understanding of gender is starting to integrate different forms.
