What a woman perceives a man whom she loves
Over the 15 years of being in different relationships with women (I'm currently in my early 30s), this is what I have observed with women:
That when a woman loves a man, she perceives the man as being more attractive than her.
She deems the man as the prize she has to win.
And that's why she'll do things to impress the man. This include making herself available for sex with the man, cooking for him, buying him gifts, doing the house chores for the man.
I'd really love to her your inputs on my observation.
