Whenever a debate develops about the state of affairs between men and women, the women or some woman in the group inevitably breaks out a list if things "Men need to do or stop doing". Rarely do you ever hear women speak on what it is that a woman needs to do. Well, I'm here to help with a few things that I think women need to do or stop doing. Feel free to add your own in the comments section as I'm sure there are many more than the ones that I've listed.
- Stop thinking that your coochie is the best thing since sliced bread. For my money, it's the combination of peanut butter and jelly but I digress. At any rate, your coochie is not the reason that a man will either stay or stray. Contrary to popular belief, sex, whether good or bad is not the first thing on a man's mind that has decided to enter into a committed relationship with you.
- You can be a high-powered attorney, chief physician at the local hospital or the girl who always messes up my order at the Checker's drive-thru, either way you need to know how to make biscuits. That's right, no matter how much bacon you bring home, you still need to cook it. Look, the truth is that women have really made great strides toward equality in the workplace and throughout other areas of society and that is very commendable. However, the role of the woman in the home has remained and should remain the same, which is that of nurturer and caregiver to her family. So when you've finished that heart transplant or helped to negotiate the merger of two Fortune 500 companies, be prepared to trade in those surgical masks and client briefs for an apron and mommy jeans.
- Stop acting like men owe you something. Relationships are two-way streets and require equal amounts of give and take from both parties involved. Give and take isn't just a money or gifting concept. It entails giving and taking of all things including but not limited to emotional, spiritual, and physical things.
- This one is a bit tricky, so pay attention. Men like women who need them but aren't needy. Let me try to explain...See, men have an innate desire to be needed. Men not only want, but they yearn for the feeling of accomplishment that comes with being able to take care of their woman/family with comfort. However, women who bring absolutely nothing to the table and always have their hand out will run a man off faster than two rabid pit bulls that have broken their chains. This will sound weird but, the less you ask for, the more a man wants to give.
- Men don't want to go anywhere, so don't push them out the door by smothering them. If a man has committed to being in a relationship with you he already views you as the most important thing in his life, you don't have to constantly nag him about showing you. When a man truly loves you, everything he does is done with you in mind. Nothing discourages a man more about being in a committed relationship than the thought of becoming someone's property. You just take care of home, give him his space and just like the Isley Brothers say in their song, "Voyage to Atlantis", he'll always come back to you. Show him unwavering loyalty and you will never have to wonder if he's "yours" or not.
Well, that's The Green Chimp's take on it what's yours?
I'll have to tweet this so my boy, M&M, can read it and enjoy it. You're right on point on just about everything. It's not hard, so why can't some women just get it?
ReplyDeleteBecause they think they already know. They're always reading this book or that article written by other women or men who are just trying to manipulate them into buying their book or giving him the panties instead of listening to genuine men when they tell them.
