Tip 1 - Never Put His Mother Down

Published:  | Submitted by David Bousquet | permalink
Never Put His Mother Down

In most cases, sons are closer to their mothers and will not tolerate any criticism towards them. My girlfriend actually has a lot of similarities with my mother and she still use to put my mother down, i hated it.  Our biggest fight happened because i did not say anything for years and my girlfriend kept doing it.  One day i could not take it any more and you can guess what happened.... the end result "she never did it again".

Even when he criticizes his own mother, don't pitch in.

Tip 2 - The Need For Effectiveness Remains An Ancient Powerful Force Shapes Men Profoundly

The Need For Effectiveness Remains An Ancient Powerful Force Shapes Men Profoundly

Good men are dutiful men. They want to be effective in their lives, their careers, and their relationships. They are driven to be devoted and capable, and a good man wants to be the most important thing in the world to the woman in his life.


Unfortunately, people’s greatest strengths often hold the seeds of their deepest struggles, and that’s certainly true of the good and dutiful man. His need to be effective skews the way he views himself, his partner, and his relationship. It can even be a destructive force when he finds his loyalties overburdened outside the relationship, or when expectations change within it.


Despite its perils, that need for effectiveness remains an ancient and powerful force for good. It shapes men profoundly, and it is one of the most important things to understand about good and dutiful men.

Tip 3 - The male mind isn’t afraid of commitment – It’s their associations with it

Published:  | Submitted by David Mancillas | permalink
The male mind isn’t afraid of commitment  – It’s their associations with it

A lot of women I meet think that guys are inherently terrified of being with one person.
It’s not true. The only reason is because they associate it with losing their freedom, having sexual excitement, being able to pursue whatever they want.


The great news is, that these feelings are entirely within a woman’s control. If you appear needy and desperate for a relationship, he’ll be terrified of them.


If you make him WANT to commit and show him that life will only get more fun when he does, committing to you will only excite him more.

Men aren’t as shallow as women think.


Though a man might sleep with a woman for her looks, this by itself will never make him look at that girl as relationship-worthy.

Tip 4 - Don't bring back beef that has already been squashed

Published:  | Submitted by JJJ | permalink

if you had a fight in the past, don't bring it back in future arguments, its a very womanly thing to do but it will upset your man and also make him think twice about what he says to you in the future... that means not having an open relationship where you can speak freely about everything.

Tip 5 - Build your confidence on cloud 9 and drop you down, be careful

be careful you have the right man!

Tip 6 - "When you ask me what's on my mind and I say "nothing," I really mean nothing."

Published:  | Submitted by cheryl79 | permalink

Would it kill you to wear something with pockets? I don't want to carry around your lipstick and license all night.

I love it when you laugh at my jokes. Even the stupid ones. 

Tip 7 - Never Ask A Question, If You Don't Really Want To Know The Answer

Published:  | Submitted by Aameer Lakhani | permalink

Most of the time the answer will be ok but every now and than, you may hear something you will never be able to take it out of your head.  We all have secrets we’d like to carry to our deathbed. When you force open that deathbed before its time, it may not be pretty.  This goes both ways for men and for women.

Tip 8 - Please do not ask me if you look fat

Published:  | Submitted by Danny Villarreal | permalink

It is always a loaded question. I am screwed if i say Yes and i am not getting any if i say No.  You might think it is the end, when you tell her No you don't look fat. It is the start of a long question/answer quest.  We don't like to answer any questions which put us on the spot. At least i don't.

Tip 9 - When I screw up, go ahead and tell me—once

Published:  | Submitted by Roman Gold | permalink
When I screw up, go ahead and tell me—once

When I screw up, go ahead and tell me—once.

No question need ever be asked through a closed bathroom door if I'm inside. I love you less with each syllable you utter.

I'm hot for you, not your sister or your friend or your coworker.

My guy friends. Not only are they not negotiable, they're your best sign that I'm not a whack job.

Don't be afraid to ditch the makeup. Natural is sexier.

 

Tip 10 - Ask me what you want done please don't tell me how to do it

Published:  | Submitted by yousry edris | permalink

Ask me what you want done please don't tell me how to do it.  I'm sure i'm not the only one, my girlfriend asks me to do something and than she tells me how to do it.  Most cases she has no clue what she is talking about and confuses me also.  If you are in the same boat, if she really knows what to do, tell her to do it herself.  It will save both of you lots of time, which can be spent on more interesting things.

Tip 11 - Friends Come First: He Will Choose His Friends Over You

Published:  | Submitted by Chris Ashcroft | permalink

Some bonds are much stronger than the others and trying to break them can backfire. If his friends have been with him before you came along, regardless of how much he likes to get his thing wet, he will move on if you make him choose.  Don't make him choose.

Tip 12 - Ask for what you want, we can't read minds

Published:  | Submitted by yair hadar | permalink

Please just ask, don't :

Don't Hint in your mind - I can't read it

Don't Hint in passing - I won't notice it

Don't Hint at all - I might take it the wrong way

Please, please just tell me what you want.

 

Tip 13 - Let Shit Go Or You Will Lose Him

Published:  | Submitted by Dan Spiker | permalink
Let Shit Go Or You Will Lose Him

Fights will happen, it’s a fact of relationship. Take it as it comes and get over it after it is finished.  Bringing back who’s fault is it or using it in another fight later is not wise.  Every time you throw old arguments back in his face, you lose a bit of his trust. Time comes when the trust meter runs out.  When there is no trust, there is no relationship.

Tip 14 - Don't Try To Change Him, You Will Not Succeed

Published:  | Submitted by Bryan Mendean | permalink

Most women know this and there are some who will test it. They know how he is but they think to themselves, "i can change him" - Truth is, you can not change him.   And if you do some how pull a rabbit out of the hat, and change him. It won't last long, and when he figures it out, how he will act is known only to him.  The better route is to love him for what he is, not what you want him to be. 

Tip 15 - Don't Snoop into his Phone

Tip 16 - Never push a man to compliment you, give him time otherwise it puts him off

Published:  | Submitted by Allison Brenner | permalink

Don't push it or it will probably push him away, turn off.

Tip 17 - Regardless of what you think, He Will Check Out Other Women

Published:  | Submitted by Bob Huthart | permalink

Just know this about men, we like to window shop but that does not mean what is being looked at will be bought also.  Hotter the women, more we look at her.  This does not mean he is not faithful to you, It's an automatic reaction and we can't help it.   More you try to prevent it more it will happen.

Tip 18 - Men want to feel needed

Published:  | Submitted by 3ak | permalink

It's important to be independent and capable of looking after your own needs, but if that turns into carrying a “I'll never need a man” chip on your shoulder, you may drive him away. Men like to know they are needed in your life. Whether it’s fixing your car, providing financially for you or solving a problem, men actually like being asked to help. Create some space in your relationship, give up some control and don't be afraid of giving him the opportunity to help.

Tip 19 - What's Wrong, If you say Nothing is wrong, I will not try to guess

Published:  | Submitted by D Dobbin | permalink

What's Wrong, If you say Nothing is wrong, I will not try to guess.  We don't like guessing, if there is something wrong please tell us especially when we ask you.  Don't say nothing is wrong and then hope we will figure it out on our own.  I think some men might do the same but it is wrong on both fronts.  Just say what is wrong and let us find a solution for it.

Buy email lists usa

Internet marketing can be incredibly powerful and when it is done correctly, you can easily expand your customer base and increase your bottom line by employing the proper online marketing techniques. One of the first steps to any successful online advertising campaign is to buy an email list. There are many great opportunities on the internet where you can buy email list that will provide you with targeted email addresses for promoting your product or service. So, if you need to buy email list or products, you will quickly see that there are many great options for doing so as there is absolutely no reason why you shouldn't be able to buy email list that target the precise customers you are after

When you buy email lists usa that are widely available, for your email marketing campaign then you should take time out to consider the effectiveness of such a venture before simply firing out newsletters and promotions to all and sundry. Email advertising can be a very effectual means of promoting goods and services to a large audience, but mere size of distribution does not necessarily bring out the perfect results.

It is important when you buy email lists usa, particularly some free mailing lists, because some can be very dated and not relevant to subject. Addresses that were compiled some time ago will probably not going to promote the best response and you could be looking at a very poor conversion rate with regard to anyone even opening them. It is obviously clear also that targeting an audience with a leaning towards the subject matter you are dealing in will have a much better chance of creating much interest in your product or service. Reputable email services companies know that if they send out email for a client from a list full of bad emails, you could be blocked; so could they. That's why email services companies that know what they are doing won't let you import a purchased address list to begin with.

So, building up lists of emails is a task you must put some extra effort behind in order to kick your email marketing efforts into gear. The problem is that nobody really wants more email, particularly spam from any kind of unknown sources. Create checklists, forms, and detailed instructions for things that your prospects might want to use or know. This is something you should be doing no matter what, but using this information to attract email addresses is proved to be winner.

Sending too much commercial email and people soon will stop responding. In fact, "sending too many emails" is a top reason for consumers to unsubscribe from a list or mark the sender as a spammer. People are careful with what happens to their list, so if they do choose to let other people use it, then they will want to tightly control this use. And they will only allow this if the recipients on their list have given permission (when they signed up) to receive commercial messages from third parties.

Tip 28 - Elegant dress plays to our desires

Published:  | Submitted by Dan Niswonger | permalink

Elegant dress trumps skimpy dress


An elegant outfit that makes you look like an A-list actress, be it Brigitte Bardot or Emma Watson, plays to our desire for success, grown-up-ness, and classical beauty. Just as you appreciate the rippling muscles of Channing Tatum in a three-piece suit, so too we want to feel like we’re walking down the red carpet with someone who cared enough to put on grandma’s pearls, touch up her makeup, and take the time to find that perfect dress. With the elegant look down, then dinner and drinks turns into a first-class date. The usual, low-cut party dress is fine, but an elegant outfit means we’re dealing with not a girl, but a woman.

Tip 29 - If you constantly draw attention to something, they will start to notice

Published:  | Submitted by Ralph Green | permalink

If you start to mention all the things you dislike about yourself over and over again, he will start to notice. .You are not only beating yourself up about these things, you are also tearing down his first impressions of you. You push him off your leg saying “Im too fat” while he is thinking “I could stroke that leg all day”.  This will erode all the thoughts and desires he constantly has for you and over time will drive him away.

 

The great thing about this point is that it works in reverse perfectly. Show off those new nails or your new hair do to him. Show a bit of flesh (even the bits you may not like so much). Tease him constantly with that body he desires so much.

 

Tip 30 - There's a physical, emotional, and spiritual core. Men engage on the first level

There's a physical, emotional, and spiritual core. Men engage on the first level

They dodge, clam up, problem-solve when you just want them to listen, toss off "yes" or "no" answers when you were hoping to go deeper. The eternal question: What is it with them? For the answers, expert Roland Warren enticed this group of strangers into talking about what they don't like, what we don't know about them, and what will always keep them up at night.


By Lise Funderburg

"People have three layers," says Warren, who speaks with thousands of dads, couples, and families each year. "There's a physical, emotional, and spiritual core. Men tend to engage on the physical level, talking about what happened—not doing life deeply, if you will. This frustrates women, who seem wired to move more quickly from the physical to the emotional, where real intimacy happens."
