40 Things Every Woman Should Know... (Page 2)

[music4life]

Good article :) Me likey how this article ended.

Although action speaks louder than words, sometimes actions can only tell us so much about a relationship. A guy may like a girl through his actions today but like them no more tomorrow, without any pre-break up warnings. In other words, there's no guarantee that he will like her tomorrow given that he likes her through his actions today and thus, hello to heart breaks. Maybe it's fact of life? x

No, I mean little polite acts of chivalry. I never said: Be high-maintenance and act like a helpless, prissy, entitled bitch. Also, I'm not meaning strictly in the mathematical sense. Complimentary referring to them adding onto you as a whole person, not contributing to you as a person which is supplementary. link

Thank you so much for this ! I sent it to my sister who is carrying the baggage of possibly... 18 years!

She's lost her virginity in the worst way possible, she's hooked up with numerous men over the net to find comfort, she made plans to marry a guy that happened to be a lesbians son.. yea... and he dumped her about... 4 months ago now she's pursuing a guy about... 13 years younger than her which is our brother's age ! :/ thank you

1. If a man wants you, nothing can keep him away. If he doesn't want you, nothing can make him stay. - not true for guys or women.

2. Stop making excuses for a man and his behavior. - too general to be rational.

15. Sex and the city is crap. And One person should not be forced to carry all the burden of contact.

3 If you have ANY doubt in your mind about a man's character, forget him.- called being irrational. you temper intuition with reason. same thing for #4.

8. too abstract to help

Great article there are several versions of this "things every woman should know" and many of them are circulated though email but I must say that while many of them are true this one is a little more to the point almost like a rule book rather than than a guideline...

39) This is one of those bossy, princes sort of statements. Its sounds like an order more than anything. You don't have to open her door every time that she is going out, you just have to be courteous and either open the door or hold the door for her just have you would do it to any body else. You don't have to be an ass whole but not her plebeian.

35) And girl's say that they don't like to play games. Yet I see hear something like the good old playing hard to get. No games are acceptable. You just need to give him space and understand that it is annoying to be clingy.

37) Sort of selfish too, sounds like something like a conceited woman would say. What do you need: Clothing, rides, dinners and on and so forth?. What about the guy?, you can't always get what you want and you have to give as much as the other guy...

...happiness, sometimes both have to sacrifice things that they like for the relationship to stay afloat.

15) No if he is a shy person, or if he is confused because he has no idea what you are doing, or confused if you like him or not.

22) Not true either, a man can cheat for many reasons, some can be his fault, some can be THE GIRL'S fault. Some people cheat and then feel bad about it and then don't do it again.

1) If a man sees that you are not putting effort or that you are playing with him, he will leave you even if he loves you. Been there done that.

3&4 Are not true, people make often a lot of mistakes in judgment just because they follow their intuition. This is called the Fundamental attribution error.

5) False if you are conceited, selfish and mean or have unattractive traits you need to change yourself.

13) Relationships are about balancing people's happiness so they both get the same...

By "make him open the door for you," (39) I hope you don't mean "be high maintenance." I agree with the the non-doormat statement in that same number, however.

P.S. Complimentary implies completion. Supplementary implies addition. You may want to reverse those words in number 31.

[cherrytomatoes]

I've read this before -- I liked it then, and I like it now :P

It's quite empowering (as much as I hate that word) for women, and is full of very relevent points that can be applied to the lives of most, no matter their age.

39...i just hate it when women feel that entitled. id be happy to get the door for you, but when you EXPECT it, or even worse, MAKE me do it (however that's gunna happen) it kinda takes the charm out of it don't you think.

[Enchanted_x3]

jacksparrow55 - Thank you for your opinion. I don't know that I agree with your views and I think you're reading too much into what I'm saying and thinking that all of my sentiments exude being a princess, high-maintenance or stuck up.

[TheGodEmperorLeto]

I dunno, 31 I can kinda see the other mindset. Yes you're a team, yes you're two different people, but at the same time, being with someone I love makes me feel.. complete haha. Hopeless romantic in me and all I guess :P

[TheGodEmperorLeto]

I dunno, I'm pretty bad at writing briefly. Especially since I do my best to use proper spelling and grammar. I mean, the one I have the biggest problem with, #29, my one response to that is well over 500 characters :P

[Enchanted_x3]

I disagree with 35 because I know it works. You get too comfortable that way. I'm not saying act like a spy and totally disappear off the face of the planet. Just do your own thing every once in awhile and don't check in.

[Katyperry]

:Wow this one helps me a lot thanks :)) NOw I know why he dump because he don't really love me because LIKE is not a synonym of LOVE so need to move on even if he's trying to make a move to have me back again in his life...

[xTeacup]

I think some guys need to calm down.. haha. :P

I agree with most of these. It's encouraging independence, being your own person and not lowering your standards.

So right on, girl. :]

[Enchanted_x3]

I'm really annoyed that people feel the need to comment negatively but then offer no support. It's like, why bother arguing if you aren't going to back it up?

Except number 8, this article is fantastic, and right on the money. Something I wish I had read before my last relationship! Very "He's Just Not That Into You." :)
