Advice To the Opposite Sex

[Beauty4Ashes]

I saw this thread in singles and stole the idea from there.

what advice would you give to the opposite sex? this can be anything about how they handle life or communicate or more specifically in regards to how they relate to the opposite sex.

Hehe I saw that there =)

If you care about her, don't be afraid to show it.

something I saw on Facebook today made me think of this. treat women and teach your son to treat woman as they would want boys to treat their daughters one day

Be yourself!!

Men - respect all women regardless of their age or maturity. Women want to feel protected, even if they don't openly admit it. As beauty4ashes said, treat her as you would expect a guy to treat your daughter.

Women-do more listening than talking

take a minute and ponder what the "equality" many are so bent on getting, really would be like if it was across the board, not just in isolated areas.

yes this is good advice and very true

 

[Beauty4Ashes]

Men - be assertive, not pushy or bossy and know how to back off when a woman does not appear interested but don't be afraid to make decisions, initiate, and make your beliefs known. this is not only attractive but I believe how God designed men to be

I think it's sweet when a guy does things like hold the door open for you.

Guys...you don't have to fix it. Just let us know you're there if we want you to fix it.

Men like to be praised. Conversely, men loathe being embarassed by their woman, in front of other people, especially other men.

Women: appreciate your men and acknowledge them. Thank them for helping around the house or for taking time out of their day to do something with you. We need encouragement and recognition from time to time.

 

[Beauty4Ashes]

just listen please it will help us to feel better

Ladies,

Good communication is absolutely necessary for it to work.

Also,

There is such a thing as too much communication. We men (or, at least me) have word intake limit. Although I couldn't tell you what number that is, exactly, I can tell you that once it's reached I'll be nodding my head and saying "mmm" and "uh huh" and "ok" but only because I don't want to be rude and I'm only half listening.

So when I forget about the dinner date we had with X family or that I was supposed to pick up such and such and claim that you never told me that - it's probably because my word intake limit had been reached when you told me and it flew out of my brain as fast as it came in, and into the ether.

Sometimes men just like to walk around without pants on. Don't freak out: it's just the way we are.

You're not a baby, you're an adult. So if you possess such a problem, 'good communication' would be holding up your hand to stop your S.O. from talking and kindly tell her that you've reached your limit and anything more she says is simply not computing. You don't allow her to ramble on thinking you're understanding the instructions she's giving you when really you are not. So if you do forget about the dinner with 'X family' or forget to pick up a certain item at the store, that would be your fault...not hers. So again, 'communicate' with your wife/girlfriend that you have this particular problem and then she'll be aware of it and know to give you a call/text at a certain time to remind you of that dinner or about that quick stop to the store.

It's not rocket science, bub.
