A Guide to Men
First of all, let’s get one thing straight, MEN ARE SIMPLE! What do I mean by this? We women tend to think that the male mind is so complex and they have no idea of what they want or who they want. We feel like we have to mold them into the man we want them to be or change them to make them see how much they need us in their life. WRONG. Men are simple. They already know what they and how to get it. They already know who is the ideal woman for them. And sister, if you have to change a man or mold him, move on because he is not ready for a woman like you and you are not ready for a man like him. This is the new millennium and you have no time to raise someone else’s grown ass child.
A man knows what he wants out of life, whether or not he ever gets to that point or not, he knows what it is. And yes, they want Mrs. Right just like we want Mr. Right. But the is no Mr or Mrs Right, just Mr or Mrs Right Now. What I mean by this is what every emotion you feel at any certain times determines the person you want around you at that time. If you are sad, you want someone to make you happy, when you are sick you want someone to make you feel better and when you need a break you want someone to leave you alone. You can’t find all that in one person. In other words, there is no such thing as Mr or Mrs Right, just Right Now.
Back to men. We women always look for Mr. Perfect (good job, educated, faithful, caters to all your needs, knows your wants and desires, is there every time you need him, and loves his mama). There are only two places to find Mr. Perfect and that is in heaven and on the radio. There is always a song about Mr. Perfect and how he does you so right and you won’t leave him and how he completes you, ALL BULL! These days you have to take the bad with the good. Be glad that he has a job and a legal one. The economy is screwed up and people are losing jobs left and right. Be glad that he does pay attention to you and spends time with you on days other than Sunday. Men have to have their “me” time too and feel closed in or trapped when someone tries to take this away. Be glad that even though he might not really be listening, he at least pretends he is. They, majority of the time, have no idea what we are talking about or hw to respond so don’t expect and good response. As a matter of fact use him to air out, use your girlfriends for advice, that’s what they are for. Don’t assume he knows all
