Five Tips for Men in Relationships

Five Tips for Men in Relationships

1)    Make decisions Even if they are wrong- Women tend to hesitate on many things, and at times can appear to be OCD about issues ranging from where to eat or what house to buy, but making a decision, even if it is wrong, shows that the guy isn’t afraid to take a chance and show power. Don’t be afraid to do this ever in a relationship!
2)    Don’t Ever Lie: Omitting the truth is one thing, but if you are ever asked a question tell the truth, it saves tons and tons boring rhetoric later in the relationship. “Were you with Bob (that friend I don’t like) last night?” Maria asked.
“Yes, I was, “ replied Mark.
By telling the truth you stopped the entire “I don’t like Bob” speech and the yadda yadda rhetoric that will boomerang on you later. Be a man and tell the truth or at least have the common sense to erase your browser’s history.
3)    Talk not Argue- One should only argue about big things like money, sex and respect, everything else is just moot. Think about it.  Who cares what type of plates you eat off of or what color your bathroom will end up. Trivial matter should not suck up  your thoughts and oxygen!
4)    Don’t Ever Fight in Public- This will always make the man look bad no matter what is said. The only exception to this rule happens when your woman shows utter disrespect for you in a public, if it’s only a little ribbing or some minor issues just let it go- it’s not worth it. All issues can be brought up behind closed doors.
5)    Phone calls- Don’t talk to your wife or girlfriend every minute on the phone when you are not together. What’s the point! You spend a majority of time with this person during the day, you don’t need to hear about every  trivial event 3 seconds after it happens. I know a couple that have been married for five years who constantly fight on the phone seconds after seeing each other. The man feels he must get in the last word and ultimately looks like a fool in front of others because he falls for this female attention trap every time she calls. Although the man of this relationship will go out of the way to brag about his “Alpha Male” status in the relationship, the entire world can clearly see that this so called man-boy is actually under his wife’s thumb and will not speak up to her no matter how embaressed he is or what she says.  Don’t talk on the phone or text unless it’s vital!
