Ladies here are some tips on how to get and keep a good man
I always here and see woman ask the question "Where are all the good man at?" Well if you don't know how to get one then you deifinetly may not know how to keep one. So let me help you out a bit.

From what I gather when you ladies speak about a good man you mean someone who is goal orientated, keeps them selves up (appearance etc) and has no problem with being with one woman. Most importantly he will treat her right.

Let me first start off by using this scenario. When a man shops and goes into a store 9/10 times he knows what he's looking for and will not spend hours, picking things up only to return them to the rack. Women on the otherhand are indecisive and will do the exact opposite. They may touch 40 items in the store to only come out with 2 items.

The above is the same with how we envision what we want in a mate. Alot of women do not know what they want. They may want that dude in their dream and expect someone in real life to live up to an illusion of perfection. So if that perfect, good man you're looking for in reali life is the guy from your dream. I will tell you right now you will be looking and searching a whole lifetime.

Now that we have that out the way let me help you out a little.

1. Learn to keep quiet. Women are emotional beings and live to express their emotions. Guys on the otherhand are more mental beings. So there are times when we like to think, sit back and just analyze. But we can't do this is you're in our ear 24/7 chit chatting.

2. Be patient. Again since woman are emotional beings they are more spontaneous than men, and will follow their emotions. Whereas guys want to check things out and see what's really up before they put themselves out there. We only have one mother in life, so if you start nagging and hounding dude will keep it moving. This is specially so with a man who has a solid foundation and is used to handling his business. He's not going to allow or like a woman who is trying undermine who he is.

3. The world was not built in one day, and neither are a mans goals. You play now and pay later. A man who has his eyes on the prize and is going after his goals will never take seriously a woman who is a slave to the jones's and has to live beyond her means. Her greediness would possibly destroy and undermine everything he's striving to achieve. Men who are striving to be successful have nightmares about women who can't see tomorrow and everything is about having today. Let a man buld. In fact help him build and 9/10 times without you asking he will give you more than what you were striving to get. Men whop are ambitious appreciate a lady who respects who they are and what drives them.

4. Forget talking about it. Men are not like women. All that mushy talk does not ruffle our feathers one bit. We are not gased up by words. You have to show us that you have our back. You have to show him what makes you different than the next woman. A man who is goal orientated did not get this way by being stupid. He understands when something is a betterment to him and when something is a hinderance as well. If he sees you're and asset instead of a liability he'll want to keep you around.

5. Men are men. And women are women. He is as equal in his position as she is in hers. But men and woman are not equal. Women here in America because of social reasons have been put in situations where they have had to handle the mans job. But its not natural, nor normal. A woman 9/10 doesn't choose a man who is weaker than her because beyond words its not the natural thing to do for any female withing any species of mammals, animals or whatever. I understand the womens rights movement, and the sufferage movement. I agree no women should be treated like she is just here to have babies, cook and clean. But to say a woman can do anything a man can do is absurd. Women wear mens clothes and I think it's nuts. If a man walks down the street in a dress, we know he is totally out of place. But with the womens movement there were other things going on like the fact that there was a movement within the movement which were not into men. So how can women who like men follow 100% the same beliefs and ideals as women who would rather be with women. It's no different than heterosexual men striving to follow the ideals of homosexual men, especially when it comes to how they feel about women. How can I share the same views as a man who in some cases and ways thinks he can match up with a woman. I can't do this because it would not make any sense to me. So for you women who think you can do what a man does and find a good man and keep one. If you do find one without having problems, I ask you to seriously take the time to sit down and think a bit. No women wants a man who thinks he can act and do like her. And no man wants a woman who thinks she can act and do like him.

6. Speak your mind, but do it ina positive way. Let a man know where you're coming from and what you're feeling. But do it in a intelligent way without getting all crazy or creating an argument. A man can respect this, and he'll talk with you about whatever it is. You start acting crazy, then he'll start acting crazy.

7. If you get that guy. Build with him. Men are mental beings. And men who are go-getters are definetely mental beings. Women don't want to be bothered with all that other stuff. But if you want that man who is about something than you better want to be bothered b/c his mind is turning constantly, thinking about now, tomorrow and ten years from now. You better get with the program or get left behind.

8. Thats enough, I'm tired. But I hope I helped you ladies out a bit.

Honestly, some of this was hard to read. "Learn to keep quiet" and men and women being equal is "not normal... not natural...". Staying honest, my initial instinct was to point my finger, get all high and mighty, and tell U how wrong U are. but i stopped myself, i took a breath, and i thought about it for a minute. i decided instead of reacting emotionally, i would think about it and try to react rationally.


So here's my reaction: i am nearly 40 and (gasp!) single. i was brought up with the conflicting images of being swept off my feet by prince charming, and being told that men and women are equal, and there's nothing a man can do (except write his name in his pee!) that a woman can't. and so we have this inner struggle to be "saved" by a man but still be independent and strong. and yes... we do have some really high, sometimes unachievable expectations for men to live up to.


BUT... fellas, come on. U all aren't blameless here either. i think the problem is that if we are actually lucky enough to find a "good guy" we freak out and mess it up, or think its too good to be true and we turn into the kind of woman NO guy wants... and we're all back at miserable before ya know it.

It's like my g/f said to me. "This is some good info for a lady looking for her mate." I'm just giving my pov from a mans standpoint. If you're a woman looking for a clue as to how a man thinks. Well get it from a man not from your moms or some womens magazine where the writer is a woman. Of course alot of what I said may seem unconventional. But reality is what it is. My g/f talk about stuff all the time and I keep it 100 with her. She tells me things I may not want to agree with. But it is what it is though whether I like it or not. I'm just saying what alot of guys don't know how to put into words, and others just don't want to take the time to say b/c there are just too many women outthere to be stressing or tripping over stuff like this.

All the best...

You have just described the man I fell in love with almost 20 years ago. He was watching me for some time doing my thing, getting my education on, living my life. He started leaving me lunch on my desk at work because he didn't want to disturb me while I had my mind on the task at hand. I didn't know he was watching me. Ths went went on for 3 months before he asked me out. We dated for 4 years before we were married. He wanted a woman who would stand side be side with him and acheive the goals that they planned together.

I did like you said in #3, I waited and never recieved anything but heart ache and pain. I blame myself for this because I should of said something but instead I continued to wait. I didn't want to make him feel like less than a man. I didn't want to be a nag. To this day I don't reciev anything for my birthday, anniversary, we have never slow danced together. He has slow danced with other women but when I asked to dance he's tired or eating. I don't recieve anyhting for Xmas unless I give him the money and a list of what I want..Funny isn't it. Well long story short, I do agree with what you wrote, I feel that it should be that way. However ladies, if it doesn't feel right, if over time the change is always in the negative realm you have to speak up. Don't loose your self in the craziness. Sometimes it's not meant to be. The man that Therone describe is out there..One day I'll run into him if it's suppose to be..I'm not going to go out looking for him, thats not what I do. Don't waste 26 years in a relationship and/or marraige waiting for things to be right again.

Therone thanks for letting me know that 'True Men' do exist more than once in a lifetime..
Time to eat my chicken sandwich..goodnight
