   I’ve been blessed by being loved to death by manly men my whole life (starting with my dad).
   the biggest challenge for anyone in love is letting go of your expectations of how that love is expressed.

   I’ve had almost zero experience with men who love. my dad was a lothario. my other dad is single.

   I look on other people’s long-term loves with near reverence, tho.

   I consider myself indescribably lucky because I’m married to a man who loves me like crazy. (and vice versa). I used to think they didn’t exist though.

   Are you aware of men loving women or does it seem otherwise to you?

   Since I am a man and clearly not entitled to an opinion, I cannot say.

   I would say that I have occasionally experienced this here alien emotive complex referred to as love. Unpleasant business really.

   I don’t really notice it, no. My dad was not the type to sing to my mom, and I was 27 before I realized how devoted he was to her.

   Sometimes. Have yet to believe this ever has or will ever happen to me. I love their music though…men in love make beautiful music.

   Oh yeah. I have enjoyed been the object of lovesick men on and off throughout my life. One man presented me with a very large portfolio of poems, journals and insights he had written about his obsession with me after his unrequited love had ebbed. An anonymous fellow slipped a very personal poem about loving me from afar into my inbox at work one Valentine’s Day… I’ll admit it, my Venus in Leo loves this kind of attention.

   I like attention. However, I’m a Leo with a lot of Virgo, so whenever someone went over the top, I’d cringe. I’d dive under the bed if someone sang at the top of their lungs!

   oh god, yes, i’m aware of men loving women. it seems that sometimes, some women may not register it because they may not express it the same way.

   my husband loves the holy hell outta me, and i know it. and i value it, believe you me.

   i feel it when he looks at me, and when he touches me, and when he refills the winshield wiper fluid in my car to help make sure i’ve got clear vision when i’m driving or reminds me it’s icy outside or something…in a million ways, he shows me.

    Currently watching my grandfather tend to my dying grandmother. This man used to be the silent distant ’50s type of man. But he is gently putting a sponge into his wife’s mouth, so she can drink. He buys her soft blankets for her medical bed. He holds her hand and cries. He loves her so much it is breaking his heart. And my visiting husband watches all of this and looks at me with so much tenderness it makes me blush. Yes yes yes men can love!

    of course they do.
    some of them, anyway.
    a lot of them, probably. more likely the question is how, rather than if.

    it’s sort of a strange question, to me.
