* If a man wants you, nothing can keep him away.
Bullshit. Another guy can keep him away, a gun can keep him away, bad breath can keep him away, thinking the girl is a depressed nutcase can keep him away, etc.
*If he doesn't want you, nothing can make him stay.
Bullshit. Convenience, food, sex, hobbies are all bait that men will take.
* Stop making excuses for a man and his behavior.
Allow your intuition (or spirit) to save you from heartache.
What kind of excuses? There is a big difference between "He isn't 100% physically fit, but he treats me right and is fun" and "He beats me, but I deserve it."
* Stop trying to change yourself for a relationship that's not meant to
be.
Every fucking relationship requires change by both people.
* Slower is better.
Up to a point, yes.
* Never live your life for a man before you find what makes you truly
happy.
Some people will never be happy by themselves. Or in a relationship. Fact of life.
* If a relationship ends because the man was not treating you as you
deserve then heck no, you can't "be friends". A friend wouldn't
mistreat a friend.
Friends mistreat friends all the time. And this is pretty vague. Is he not giving you a continental breakfast every morning and fluffing your pillows, or does he treat you like a slave?
* Don't settle.
Newsflash: There is only 1 Johnny Depp in the world.
* If you feel like he is stringing you along, then he probably is.
God this gets more and more antiman. "If you suspect someone, they are probably guilty." WTF ever happened to innocent until
proven guilty? And maybe this girl is just paranoid.
* Don't stay because you think "it will get better." You'll be mad
a t yourself a year later for staying when things are not better.
Because relationships are always smooth sailing. First argument in a relationship, just leave, no matter what it is over. This girl is gonna be a lonely miserable person.
* The only person you can control in a relationship is you.
WRONG! An impowered woman can teach a man to sit. Give him a blowjob every once in awhile and he'll do anything, provided it is good enough.
* Avoid men who've got a bunch of children by a bunch of different
women. He didn't marry them when he got them pregnant, why would
he treat you any differently?
He didn't marry them? What about she didn't marry him? Oprah's such a fucking man hater. Maybe he knocked the girl up, wanted to get married, and the girl said "no." That happens more than people realize.
* Always have your own set of friends separate from his.
Is this like pre-break up insurance? Like, don't have it end up being one group of friends, because then one of you is gonna need to find a bunch of new ones after my horrible advice has you break up.
* Maintain boundaries in how a guy treats you. If something
bothers you, speak up.
No shit sherlock.
* Never let a man know everything. He will use it against you
later.
WHAT? WHAT? WHAT? THAT IS FUCKING RIDICULOUS ANTI MAN SHIT. You can't have a healthy relationship by keeping things from eachother.
* You cannot change a man's behavior. Change comes from within.
Yeah you can. Just walk in a room of all guys. Their behavior instantly changes.
* Don't EVER make him feel he is more important than you are.
Even if he has more education or in a better job. Do not make him into a
quasi-god.
Also, don't ever compliment him, in fact, berate him, and tell him how insignificant he is. Don't ever cancel an appointment to spend time with him, because you're just as important as him.
*He is a man, nothing more nothing less.
Translation: all men are the same and replacable.
* Never let a man define who you are.
Never marry, never date, never have a boyfriend. Because you'll then be defined as "that guy's wife, that guy's date, or that guy's girlfriend"
* Never borrow someone else's man. If he cheated with you, he'll
cheat on you.
What if he was in an abusive relationship and his wife hurt him and also never had sex with him, but he was too much of a pussy to leave her until you have come along?
* A man will only treat you the way you ALLOW him to treat you.
So women who get raped were raped because they allowed it?
* All men are NOT dogs.
some are rats (now her first non misandric statement is misandric
)
*
You should not be the one doing all the bending ... compromise is a two
way street.
Translation: Your man has to spend half of the superbowl not watching it, but instead watching Sleepless in Seattle.
* You need time to heal between relationships... there is nothing cute
about baggage. Deal with your issues before pursuing a new relationship
That's unrealistic. People have issues that they cling to til the day they die. They shouldn't pursue relationships because of that?
* You should never look for someone to COMPLETE you. A relationship
consists of two WHOLE individuals so look for someone complimentary, not
supplementary.
Also, don't have sex as it is symbolic of the myth of completion.
* Dating is fun. Even if he doesn't turn out to be Mr. Right.
Use men you aren't interested in for free food!
* Make him miss you sometimes. When a man always knows where you are, and you're always readily available to him - he takes it for granted.
Torture him a little bit. Think of a cat playing with a mouse it has caught. Be the cat.
* Never move into his mother's house.
Because that isn't OK in american culture, despite it being OK in other cultures, it is wrong/communist. I honestly wouldn't want to live with a girl I'm in a relationship and my mother, but there isn't anything wrong with it. A lot of other cultures have spouses move in and the young take over the household and take care of the old. No need for fricking retirement communities.
* Never co-sign for a man.
But co-sign for a woman? How is a man any more likely to screw you over than a woman?
* Don't fully commit to a man who doesn't give you everything that you
need. Keep him in your radar but get to know others.
No man offers everything.
