Women basically are more romanticists then men (there are a very few men that are and continue to be so.) We put our heart on our sleeves, we give without expecting something back and we just love. Some men can go through life like they are strolling through a candy factory. They love women! After all, there are 3 times more women in the world than men and it's rising. Not all men want their cake and eat it too. There are some good guys out there that believe in strong relationships and bonding with their mate, so don't judge all men by a few that want their cake and eat it too! Sometimes in a relationship the romance may dwindle a little (your mate forgetting a birthday, anniversary, etc.) but it doesn't mean he doesn't love you.
The expression, 'You can't have your cake and eat it too.' means that if you want to eat your cake, you will no longer have it. It's usually used to admonish someone who is fretting because they can't have everything they want.
Have your cake and eat it too.
I am going through that right now. The only answer I can find is that they want their cake and eat it too. They are selfish and it's a pride thing.
The correct phrase here is that "you cannot have your cake and eat it, too".
yes, but you can't eat it too.
If you have half of something and you eat that half you have none; don't forget, "You can't have your cake and eat it too."
Eat it too-meaning have it all. It's an expression.
You can't have your cake and eat it too.
So that they can eat it later.
It means you must make a choice, even if it is difficult. Say you've been served a piece of your favorite food. You can keep it, stare at it, put it in the freezer, whatever--or you can eat it. But once you've eaten it, you can't keep it anymore--it's gone. But if you keep it, you can't eat it. Assuming she's not talking about actual food, she's asking you to give up something. For example, I can't have an exclusive relationship with my wife and date someone on the weekends.
not all of them, some just want to have their cake and eat too! no one should stay with a cheat, whether it is a man or woman!
It depends on what type of cake, where you got it, was it meant for you? Would someone else benefit from eating the cake? If you find yourself having your cake and eating it too, you may be taking advantage of someone else, this can have negative consequences for you in the future. The only way to have your cake and eat it too is to share some of it with whom ever is relevant to the cake. That way they get cake and you have obtained your objective without taking advantage or being selfish. D.J. Newville
