Происхождение идиомы
В современном языке английская идиома give-and-take используется как сложное существительное. Впервые она была зарегистрирована в 1769 году в Англии.
В программах конных скачек существовали следующие правила: на лошадей, высота в холке которых превышала установленную высоту, надевали снаряжение тяжелее стандартного (give). Снаряжение скакунов низкого роста должно было быть иметь вес ниже стандартного (take).
Вне контекста конных скачек английская идиома give-and-take употребляется с 1815 года и в значении «идти на взаимные уступки, компромисс».
Дополнительное значение английской идиомы give-and-take «обмен идеями и мнениями» появилось в американском английском немного позже.

give and take
COMMON If you talk about give and take, you mean the way in which two people or groups in a relationship accept that they cannot have everything that they want and that they must sometimes give the other person or group what they want. All good partnerships involve a bit of give and take. There is usually a fair amount of give and take in a trading relationship. Note: You can use give-and-take before a noun. You never get everything you wish for in these give-and-take situations.

give and take
Mutual concessions; a fair exchange. Used as a noun, this expression dates from the eighteenth century. (The verbal form, to give and take, dates from the early 1500s.) One writer believes the phrase originated in British racing and denoted a prize for a race in which larger horses carried more weight and smaller ones less than the standard. “Give and take is fair in all nations,” wrote Fannie Burney in Evelina (1778), echoed in T. C. Haliburton’s Wise Saws (1843): “Give and take, live and let live, that’s the word.” See also live and let live.

Get started
Same in Dutch: lenen «to borrow/lend», and it depends on context which is implied: lenen van «to borrow from», lenen aan «to lend to»; but also uitlenen «to lend», verlenen «to provide», «belenen» «to pawn» (as in a pawn shop), ontlenen «to derive».
It’s rarely ambiguous in practice, though, as «to borrow» tends to be the base meaning, and most people will use uitlenen unless there’s a clear person you’re lending to: ik leen het boek «I borrow the book», ik leen je het boek (uit) «I’ll lend you the book», ik leen het boek uit «I lend the book (to someone)».
Note that because «uitlenen» is a separable verb, it only looks like the verb lenen is used in the last sentence, whereas it’s actually uitlenen. (For the second sentence you might even argue the same, with an ellipsis of uit.)
Edit: also, there’s the infamous leren «to learn/teach». There’s no uitleren, so it fully depends on context. Dutch and German speakers are well known to mess this up when speaking in English.
Not take to give:
If you truly would like to be happy with a woman/man you have to be willing to look past their physical attributes long enough to see them clearly as a person. If it’s all in what you get as opposed to give in life your fucked!
You’ll blame people for all their flaws to think your better and in the end what you may think your winning is only making you look loose what you may have wanted to feel in a relationship i.e. LOVE
Every relationship that works has the the way of give and take.
It takes an amount of give and take to have this.
For the record MOnEY has no bearing on what love really is. Trusting in your feelings for one another is important. then you feel compelled to be completely honest with that person and it becomes a good solid relationship.
Example 1: Massages! Very important.
2: Leave their past in the «PAST» Who they are with you is who they were not what they may want with you now.
3: Children, Cooking, cleaning, laundry and house duties are both of your responsabilities.
Give and Take:
Especially if you both work or go to college. That takes up mental energy. Relationships cannot be one sided.
4: Porn, yes I said it, Porn. it’s fun to watch it with your partner. It brings about some laughter. Don’t grab the German shizer video, or animal erotica on the first date. she’ll run screaming;)
5: Again «touch» They way it feels when a man takes the time to wrap his hands around your waste and tell you he loves the way you play guitar, the way you kiss his cheek and he kisses your forehead, it’s about your up beat personality means he looks not at you outward qualities and wouldn’t cheat. If a guy tells you you have a rocken ass and a nice set. In 5 years don’t expect them to stick around. Don’t say I didn’t warn ya either. He’s/she’s a cheater. Beware!
6: Let the person have enrichment i.e. video games, dirty mags, ect. It doesn’t mean that man loves you or that woman loves you any less. It does not mean their are immature to like these things. Ask your self this. would you rather a person that is out being a fake and killing for a living or one that is just happy silly and content playing a few rounds . I choose the video nerd every time. Why? There smart, task oriented, imaginative, focused, and skilled at what they do. e.g not out shooting up or shooting up people or land to slave for the man that will wreck the mother nature.
Now J-bitch, I say, I said, go give that lady a massage

A scenario when, commonly misidentified, heterosexual couple invite a male partner to a three way. The third party, unmindful male, merrily attends for the fair damsels dillhole, but as intercourse start, the ding-a-ling jerking husband must be bi… nope! that is bung munching gay, a real corn-hole randy hound drooling over the invited male. The guest male is upset that he did not foresee this possibility, and didn’t ask ahead of time. The woman is a fit bombshell that hasn’t been pleased since the last give n’ taker months ago, and she was just desperate enough to agree for one of her husbands, hot wife bait, gay sex acts. The couple wrangled the third party male in the middle of them for his first give n’ take.
The third party male is mounted from behind by surprise gay husband as shock settles chills on the give n’ taker while he freaks host wife.
As the cajoling cum to an end, most give n’ takers, then finally understand the full incident as gave n’ took, what what in the butt!
Get the Give n’ Take mug.
