What Women Should Know About Men

First make sure that you have the right guy. He should be one who has what you have or more so that you can strategically provide input here and there to help guide him when needed without your having to "run the show" completely.

If you are determined that you are in love, then you must love him with all his faults, and don't put him down as being less than what he should be, "Your Man".

Do not look for reasons to argue. There will be enough chances arising anyway. Instead look for some reasons to laugh with him, and enjoy spending time together.

When someone tells you something negative about your man, if you love him with all your heart, don't take heed to what anyone says. In time negativity will manifest itself. If you love him you'll deal with it and your relationship will still flourish in the long haul.

If he just refuses to be wrong on a subject, remember that you have the extra spice to let him be right just to keep his special chemical elements in tact. He'll realize he's wrong later on and in a moment of love he'll tell you!

Don't tell anyone you aren't for certain that you can trust, anything about you and your man be it good or bad.

When he is angry, don't feed the fire. Don't try and get overly emotional either. Study him and learn exactly what brings him back to reality. It could simply be silence.

If you have tried as hard as you can to figure him out but nothing can bring back old sparks that have gone out, just be thankful for the good times, learn from the bad times, cut your losses and move on quickly.

Don't forget the little things such as an occasional card, his favorite beer, organizing for him, massages after a hard day, and understanding his special interests. After a while he'll catch on and do the same for you if he doesn't already.

Give him time to himself. If he hung out with you all the time, then he would become like you. You want a man; let him go be with the men sometimes. If he doesn't do it already, then suggest it.

Save a little something extra for the two of you just in case his efforts at being in control somehow fail him. Should trouble arise, inform him that "he" has a little something that you held onto for him for a rainy day. He'll see you as a life saver!

Keep the surroundings clean! I know some men are already neat freaks, but if you are not lucky enough to have that kind, then you shouldn't let the two of you live in a dump!

If something bad happens, for instance: he cheats and you find out. Be cool. Assess the situation. Men can be manipulated sometimes at certain weak moments. Not making excuses, but just because something happens of this nature doesn't mean that he doesn't love you or that he isn't intending on staying with you 'til death do you part'. If you love him, or want to still love him, then cut the drama short after you make your point, forgive him and keep your head together. He'll respect you for that
and think hard before doing it again.

If he's lying and you know it, don't question it. Strategically figure out a way to bust him, so that it all comes out, and he's left trying to explain. When he tries to explain, be interested, but don't comment. Just let it ride. Silence is punishment enough. Expect roses and an apology later.

If you're tired of his crap and everything he does disgusts you, then it's time to move on.
