1. To Listen: Women love the
sound of their voices so it’s
quite easy to understand
why men would rather let
them
win an argument. But what
some women don’t realize is
that they just might be
wrong sometimes. Perhaps
if they
listened to a few facts from
the man instead of jumping
to conclusions, or in other
situations, taking some
advice
from him based on his
personal experiences then
he would appreciate you a
whole lot more.
2. To be Considerate: This
could be on so many levels.
Women shouldn’t expect a
man to still take her to fancy
restaurant if he just lost his
job, or expect him not to
cancel a pre-planned
engagement because he
suddenly
has to take his mum to the
hospital. Life is not always
about me, me, me; once he
sees you understand that
then
he wouldn’t just walk a mile
for you – he’d swim the
Seven Seas!
3. Be ‘Openly honest’: It’s one
thing to be open (e.g. telling
him stuff he never asked you
about) and another thing
being honest (e.g. telling him
stuff only when he decides
to ask you). Why not be a
combination of both and be
openly honest? It’s a good
way to be build trust,
especially if the man is the
slightly jealous type in the
first
place.
4. Be Hands-on : A woman
who can do some things
herself without the presence
of her man is a bit of a turn-
on. This is borderline
‘Independent woman’ but
not in the context of
spending money on oneself.
Little things like mowing the
lawn when he’s not home or
arranging for a handyman to
come round to your place to
fix an appliance. By the time
you both have kids you’d be
a pro worthy of his
admiration.
5. Be Submissive: Not like
sheep and don’t jump to
thinking I’m referring to
indoor late-night activities.
I’m
referring to more of a
combination of being dutiful,
obedient and humble. Of
course in a loving
relationship, it’s sort of two-
way and not really the
Master-Slave relationship
which I feel some of you
readers may be imagining.
As you can see, men don’t
like it either.
6. Be Affectionate (Holding
Hands): Saying it with words
is always good but I, like a
lot of men, like when women
say it with their actions. It’s
the subtle things like
stroking the back of his
head, holding his hand in
public,
cuddling on the sofa or at
the movies , feet to feet rubs,
massages, pecks, kisses, etc.
The only man-seeking
woman whom I feel is
justified (in the early stages
of being in a relationship) is
one who is in a long-
distance
relationship – not my cup of
hot cocoa at all.
7. Be Respectful : By far the
most important to me and
that’s because we men have
a big E inside of us that
demands that we be shown
some R-E-S-P-E-C-T be it from
a man or woman. Lol !..
Show a ‘brutha’ a little
respect and you’ll get his.
Show him a lot and if
everything else falls into
place I think he might just be
introducing you to mama
and papa. Men don’t get off
easy though. Everything I’ve
mentioned goes two-ways
so no woman should expect
to exhibit all
these qualities while the
man puts his feet up
watching the Premiership
League. It takes two to
tango, remember. [hupso]
