It’s turned into a myth that women get upset when men leave the toilet seat up. Sure, it can be annoying but it’s hardly something that will break a relationship. If it does, there are other things - rooted deeply – that hasn’t been dealt with.
If it’s an absolute truth that men should leave the toilet seat down, why should women not leave the toilet seat up so it’s ready for the man to use? Did you ever think about that?
I recently saw an article online and the interviewer (a woman) sought to discover what it is that men want from a relationship. We’ve never been able to figure it out for sure. I’m not sure that the article did either but here are some of the things men want according to what I read:
A woman with a sense of humor. Someone who isn’t too self important to have a good laugh when they make a mistake. She needs to laugh at his jokes so he feels like a funny guy. This makes perfect sense to me! I might be crossing a line here but what from I know and have experienced, men love it when you praise them. It can be about their brains, their body, their skills. So why not about their sense of humor too?
A woman who cares enough to listen and be involved with his hobbies. Not necessarily share his hobby but just show an interest and listen when he talks. The listening is a bit deal, actually. Some women might brush a guy off, believing in yet another myth: That men are strong, independent and never need to cry. That’s crap. They’re people, too and so they have worries, too. Be prepared to listen and get involved.
A woman who will allow him to protect her. This is a biggie, ladies. Of course women are no longer dependent on the man for finances and such; in most places of the world we have moved beyond that stage. That’s not what I mean by protection. It’s important for a man to be able to provide on multiple levels in a relationship: Bring home some cash, make sure his lady is well taken care of emotionally and physically, be a good dad (if there are kids involved). Just provide and lead the way. It sounds sort of old-fashioned in today’s world but I’ll bet you a lot of guys think that way. I’m not sure that’s a bad thing either.
Should we discuss a few things that will make most men want to end a relationship? Yeah let’s.
The Girlfriend who is made of Glue.
Oh boy. The girl who sticks to him, doesn’t seem to have friends or a life of her own. She will very quickly make him back away. Where men like to be providers, they don’t like providing you with 24/7 entertainment. You need a life of your own that he can be part of.
The Girlfriend who doesn’t trust anyone.
She checks up on him, goes through his wallet and his jeans pockets. Checks the cell phone. Smells his shirts – in severe cases she checks his breath.
She might even call his friends to see if he really is where he said he’d be. A man will run away from that sort of scenario very quickly.
The Girlfriend who is highly emotional.
We’re all emotional to some degree but this girl will whine, cry at little thing, shift moods all of a sudden so it’s hard to predict her actions. She might have an anger problem and be immature, not ready for a long-term relationship. She will manage to chase any man away.
The last type of woman hits kind of close to home for me. I tend to be very emotional about things! I will create drama where this is none. I wouldn’t know but I am guessing that being in a relationship with me is akin to being onboard the Titanic: The crap is sinking but you hold on to broken pieces of wet, floating wood in the cold. Sometimes someone calls: “Help is on the way!!” but there is no help on the way, trust me. If you’re with me, you better be prepared for high winds.
Did you ever think about what kind of girlfriend or wife you are? Are you supportive or not?
