Getting her water
I want someone that wants to give me that special princess/queen treatment without me having to expect or ask for it. Showering my partner with a lot of my love, respect, affection, attention, support, etc etc, is something I want to do out of my own volition because I love him.
We’re equal partners that love and respect each other, not princess and peasant.
You show me how to use a new weapon and take the safety off, I in turn show you I can use a bay loader. You give me a tracking device so you know where I am all the time (but not in a creepy way) and I, in turn give it to a kid I’m looking after at the moment. There’s a firefight and you have my back. It’s safe to say if any of the other marines called me a Princess they’d die by my hands or those of Vasquez. We’re all cool with that cos it’s a silly name to give a fellow human when there’s aliens to nuke from orbit.
I don’t believe in princess treatment. I don’t think anyone should be treated like a princess, including actual princesses. I want my partner and I to be equals. That doesn’t mean we don’t do nice things for each other. Of course you should do nice things for each other. But if you can’t conceive of doing nice things for a regular, non-royal person, that’s concerning.
Doesn’t sound like something a mature person would enjoy.
It’s neither earned or is anyone entitled to it. Be a grownup.
I love getting treated like a Queen, but I will treat my man like a king. That is basic showing of love and respect for each other.
If I had a long day, he would massage me. If he had a long day, he will get a back massage, easy as that.
Princess treatment is just a name for the bare minimum for men who don’t do this stuff automatically.
Princess treatment to me is pampering the partner. Applies to both men and women even though the term is princess. Yes I can treat my male partner like a princess sometimes too. Eg sometimes if I’ve had a really bad day, he’ll go get me a bunch of stuff and snacks he knows I like, and take care of everything around the house, asks me if I want a drink and gets it for me even if I’m 10 steps away from the fridge.
Nobody *deserves* the princess treatment. It is given, willingly, and accepted with maximum gratitude. And it should never be a one way street. If you like the princess treatment, your partner would too.
I enjoy equally spoiling one another.
it’s a made up thing. not real life. no one is entitled to princess or prince treatment.
I want to pre-face my comment that I believe any dynamic is right long as both people are happy with it. But personally for me being treated like a lady is a must. I find chivalry&care attractive, having doors opened or bags carried for me, my bills being paid, being made to feel safe, cherished and not having to worry over things certainly makes me feel loved.
I do think that person needs to match whatever kind of treatment they want. I wanted to be treated like a lady, so of course it’s my part to treat my husband as my man. I do not pay bills nor drag heavy things/plan dates etc, but it also means it’s my husband’s right to have his meals homemade&served for him, his clothes laundried, his living environment cleaned and be spoken to with gratitude.
Yo, here’s my 2 cents, ain’t nobody entitled to princess treatment, guy or gal. We gotta earn dat respect & love. Straight up, expectin’ to be treated like royalty just ’cause… that’s some entitled BS. BUT…, real talk, everyone deserves to be treated well, with respect and kindness, ya feel me? We should treat our partners like gold, not cuz they’re princesses or whatever but cuz they’re dope human beings, deserving of care and love. That’s it, that’s all.👏🙌💯✌️🔥
I have no clue what the f* you’re even talking about.
It looks like something I’m not interested in.
It’s not about earning it, it’s about being with someone who wants to treat you like someone special, because they see your worth.
To me its just being there and giving me the security that i know they will be there when i need them to be. My husband would do anything for me and ik if theres a problem he will take care of it bc hes never not shown up.
I don’t know or care what princess treatment actually looks like in a relationship because I have never desired to participate in that dynamic from either side. I strongly prefer relationships of equal partners where we are both caring, attentive, loving, and thoughtful of each other.
No person of any gender is entitled to “princess” treatment and the concept of “earning” such is gross to me. My preference is to treat partners as equals and express your love and care for them in ways that both are comfortable for you and that they appreciate. If either of you needs a relationship dynamic that makes one of you uncomfortable, then you are incompatible.
Princesses are for the guillotine.
We’re proletarian equals, we treat each other as the perfect revolutionary comrade, best friend, lover and so on.
We cheer each other up, support each other, give small, meaningful gifts and spend quality time together.
I’d rather get bestie treatment. You love them but you put them in their place when needed. I want someone who will be my biggest cheerleader but hold me accountable. Someone who will go to war for me but tease me.
