What a Man is Looking for in a Woman

Here it is ladies!  The answer to what men are looking for in women.  Read it.  Pay attention to it.  Put it to good use.  

1.  A man wants sexual fulfillment.  If you are in a dating phrase.  Don't be so anxious to meet this need.
2.  A man wants a recreational playmate.   That is right.  Do some of the things he likes to do.  Be interested in some of the things he
     likes.  If you don't like anything he likes, he may not be the one.
3.  A man wants a beautiful woman.  Check out "all about you" and get started on you inside and outside.
4.  A man wants a committed woman.  A committed woman is a sign of a good woman.  If the relationship has not reached a
     monogamous, committed status, show how committed you are to yourself by sticking to your rules, but be polite.  He will respect
     you.
5.  A man wants a woman who admires who him and knows how to show it.  Be genuine, but if you can not find something you admire
     about him, move on, he is not the one.
6.  A man wants a woman of moral virtue.  You've heard the phrase, "She's not the kinda girl you marry."?  Be sure you're just the
     opposite.
7.  A man wants a woman with a sense of humor.  Be sure to loosen up.  It is no fun to date someone who is too serious.
8.  A man wants a woman who is intelligent.  Broaden your horizons by learning new things.  Intelligence isn't necessarily about how
     well you did in high school, so go out and learn something new.  
9.  A man wants a woman he can totally trust.  If you have to manipulate him, he is not the one for you.  Do him and yourself a favor,
     move on.
10. A man wants a woman who is absolutely honest.  Do not confuse honesty with giving an opinion that does not support his hopes
     and dreams.

      words can kill a relationship. 

                                                                                                                                                                                                 
 Do You Expect Too Much?

If you are or have been in a relationship and things do not feel like they are flowing, before you write the relationship off, consider the answers to these questions:

1.  Are you expecting your man to make you happy?  Your man is not responsible for your happiness, you are; however, if you are a reasonably happy person and you feel his behavior is draining your positive energy, that is a different story.  Take a close look at your life to see if you were happy before he came into your life and take a moment to write down why you feel you are unhappy, then look at your list and see which reason has nothing to do with him.  If you can fix most of those reasons without him, then lighten up on him, start taking care of yourself, and find your joy.  (Caution:  When making your list, be sure that you are not giving your power away to him, which is definitely not his fault.  For example, if he constantly cheats on you and that makes you unhappy, see the situation for what it is and make a decision.  You are in control of what you except into your life.  Remember to honor you.)

2.  Do you always expect him to know what you are thinking or what you want without you telling him?  Never expect him to know what you are thinking.  That is too much work for him.  Be kind and simply tell him what you want.  If he cares for you, he will do his best to get it or do it for you.  Of course, you know not to go over board.  Making him jump through hoops all the time can get old...fast.  

3.  Do you think you might not be compatible because you do not agree on everything?  Just because you do not agree on everything, that does not mean you are not compatible.  The objective in finding you mate is not to find someone who is just like you, that will get boring and before you know it, you will wonder what you saw in that guy in the first place.  You want a mate who balances you out.  That means if you are not the best money manager, he should be.  His strengths should compensate for your weaknesses and vice versa.

4.  Do you expect him to be everything to you?  Do not expect your partener to be everything to you.  You are weighing him down if you expect him to always be your shopping buddy, to be the one who listens to all you issues and comfort you, to be the one who fixes everything around your house, or to be the one who listens as you talk about work drama or soap operas from television.  Get a girl friend or a few girl friends, to spend some time with and give him a break.

Before you end any relationship, take an honest look at yourself and be sure that you do not need to make any adjustments in your thinking when it comes to relationships.  You do not want to end a relationship with someone who may have been perfect for you, but you could not see it, because it is sometimes our nature to blame the other person for everything that is going wrong.  It may simply be a matter of ironing out a few kinks, learning to understand the one you are with and knowing you.
