I disagree with Nadia. In a relationship both the partners are equal. If that is not the case then the relation is destined to doom.
An equal and respectful relation is the only healthy relation.

I think both sides of the relationship should try to please each other, because the relationship will never work if it's only the woman who is making a huge attempt at pleasing the man. I also think that this should be done out of love and a wanting for the relationship to work

While she may not express it orally, women do try their best to please their men. Actually both should try to please each other for a sustainable relationship.

I think a relationship should be equally benefiting for the parties involved. Who tries to please the other most in a relationship is dependent on the individual. Some women try hard to keep their partners happy because they don't want to be left for another. Men do it too. Majority of the time when there is an imbalance its because of someone's insecurities or dependency, be it emotional, financial etc

I think when you care about someone, whether it is romantic or plutonic, you always aim to please. In terms of women trying to please their men, I believe both parties should participate in trying to please the other, but not to the extent that they lose sight of who they are.

Most women are the ones working tirelessly to please their men. Why not the two sides doing this together for the betterment of their relationship. So, yes, I do agree with you.

I don't know who does more trying to please, but in most relationships I think women do more work.

I totally disagree with her. Both parties in a relationship should always try to please each other. Otherwise, one can get really tired and fed up.

I think both women and men try to please the other. I don't think it is one-sided. It may feel that way but in reality what we do to please may not be what the other was looking for.

Yes I agree. It should be so and vise versa too.

Not every time. I have seen cases whereby the man is an angel but the woman is the devil incarnate. A situation whereby a man does anything humanly possible to make a relationship work but the woman is like 'I am not in the mood.' So I disapprove the statement that it's the women who struggle to impress their men.

I dont think it is true. I think women are stereotyped as a species trying to please men through literature. It is enticing to write about how women try to entice men. But I think its a two-way street.

Aren't we all trying to please each other? At least initially, that is true for everyone. In fact, we are actually trying to please aspects of ourselves. Women try to please their men a bit more than the other way round.

I think both women and men should please each other equally, it should never be a one-sided thing.
