However, it’s important to consider the context and the intentions behind those words.
In this article, we’ll delve into the male perspective on loving women, exploring the different aspects of this statement and its implications. We’ll discuss the importance of respecting women, the nuances of feminism, and how men can actively contribute to gender equality.

Depends on the person and context, but it generally makes me initially cautious because they are automatically acting like women are some kind of monolithic group instead of individual humans who are all different and unique. Whether the speaker falls into the “women are wonderful” or “women are terrible” camp, people who generalize women in that way are less likely to respect each of us as individuals in my experience.
“Same dude, same”
I’m gonna reserve judgement until I see that his behaviour matches those words. I’ve heard a lot of men say that they love women, but what they mean is that they love having a woman take care of them.
Men who actually love women as people are a lot less common but they tend to be really wonderful to be around in any capacity.
They love their mama and they love pussy and that’s it. If you really loved women, you wouldn’t have to say it.
It usually means they like “feminine presence” as in someone who is decorative and decorates their life, they find their life is nicer with “feminine stuff” in their life. Which rarely translates into true respect for all women as full humans, often excludes women who do not fit that slot (now or ever) and definitely excludes women who don’t cater to them.
I doubt the feeling is mutual
I’ll let you know when I hear one say it.
90% of the time i’ll think it means they love fucking women
The other 10% it might be their way of showing that they see women as people
It usually means they love women that fit into their narrow box of what they think a woman should be.
It gives me the ick and I have to fight making any sort of judgement/assumption
Shows that they probably think all women are basically the same. Anyone who actually knows and loves the women in their life would know that you can’t say you “love women” any more than you can say you “love men” – there are assholes and annoying people in both groups, and there are also lovely people in both groups.
They see women as diversions, who exist to entertain and serve him, not as self- actualized individual humans.
They love what we do for them, but they don’t really love US.
He’s straight.
My thoughts are it would probably be smart to avoid that person.
I feel like it means that they enjoy looking at women and using them for their ego. The only guys I’ve ever been with who say they love women are the ones who can’t keep it in their pants
That they absolutely despise women or that they are leaving off an implied last part which is “that benefit me and that’s it.”
Men who actually love women show it through their simple everyday interactions and through voting.
Fuck boy
When I hear a man say “I love women,” I actually hear “I love having sex with women.”
I’ll believe it based on their behavior and other things they say
I would visibly cringe and then immediately avoid that man
They want the V (Lol)
I wonder if they mean all women, and then think about some of the deeply unpleasant women I’ve met in my life.
Just saying they love women? I would assume they are attracted to women?
Idk I guess it varies on context but good for em I guess
“Wish I could return the sentiment to them.”
Could be a nice guy, or could be a creeper game artist, hard to tell without context
Fellas, is it gay to love women?
Untill?
Nothing?
How does he show a woman he loves her. So many men are talkers, few rarely take action.
Promiscuity
They probably love fucking them but that’s it.
Every time I’ve heard a man say this, it means they’re a pussy hound who doesn’t really GAF about women as people. They’re always players and cheaters. *Always*.
probably kinda disgusted because in my head this means they mean it in a sexual way lol
They’re a player
I think it’s weird. I would also feel the same way if a woman said she loves men. It’s disingenuous because you can’t “love” an entire group of people. And if you feel like you can, then it’s not love.
It means: “I love what women bring to my life. I love looking at women. I love having sex with women. I love their feminine energy and how it makes me feel about myself.”
It does not mean “I am an ally.”
They love fucking woman.
I tend to feel icky by a glob like statement like that. Wtf that even mean?
In my experience, the men who make that statement aren’t worth the time. The amount of stupid that will pour out of their faces after “now, I love women… buuuuut”
“I love women” means I am unable to be faithful. It means I live the idea of women while ignoring the real live person that happens to be a woman. It’s a dog whistle for misogyny in my experience.
Define “love”. You can love spaghetti, you can love your dog, you can love football. So what do you mean with “love”?
i don’t believe any man is a good man until i see how they treat many types of women. we are people after all. does he have respect in convos w men but he talks over & disregards women in conversation? my rule of thumb is let ppl show you who they are because people won’t be honest about being terrible. pay attention to the SMALL things if they’re loudest about loving women.
If they say “I love women” verbatim, I know they just mean they love fucking women and they respect their mom and sisters so they think they’re a feminist.
It implies to me thay they don’t recognize woman as humans, and see them more as a different species or eyecandy. In the act of grouping everyone together, it’s really excluding people who don’t fit their personal beliefs of the idea of what a women is.
Then they, in particular, love women like they also love animals. They’d never turn down the opportunity to eat bbq ribs, rotisserie chicken, etc.
I assume they really love the women around them but aren’t so loving(or just don’t notice) to the ones that are older, unattractive, a different race, or of a lower class.
If they volunteer to keep women at a nursing home company, I’d be very surprised.
that he’s probably lying
I honestly do an invisible eye roll. For example, people who are LGBTQ allies don’t go around saying they “love gay people “, it smacks of ,”I can’t be homophobic, I have a gay friend! I LOVE gay people BUT they shouldn’t be [parents, teachers, afforded basic human rights]”. Real allies stick up for us when needed but don’t go around bragging about how super cool they are with all the gross gay sex we have.
Also, those people who vocally”love women” tend to fetishize femininity. They don’t love women as people, they love the idea of a busty, submissive, hypersexual house maid. It’s not love and it’s usually pretty dehumanizing at its core.
