Relationships are good. The various Holy
books recommend marriage, and most men want to settle down with someone
good. However, if you are a woman and unable to find a man who
consistently enjoys your company, then there’s a problem. I’ve tried to
categorize some character traits commonly found in women which tend to
keep the prospective men at bay. If you fall into one or two of these
categories, sister, it just might be time to make a change.
Being judgemental and generalizing: A
few bad experiences don’t mean all men are the same. It shocks me to
hear women say all men are the same. Making such an assertion is not
only wrong, it affects your judgement of men and consequently affects
how you relate to them. A woman who generalizes is usually quick to read
the wrong meanings into men’s actions, and usually reacts irrationally
before even considering their actions. No man will stick around too long
if he’s always feeling attacked and misunderstood.
Fault finder: This type
of woman doesn’t see the good in anything or anyone. She hardly ever
appreciates anything. She complains about things she can either cope
with or change. No man needs a woman breathing down his neck about every
single thing, every single time. It’s either the movie is wrong, or the
food isn’t nice, or he snores, or…the list is endless. Bottom line, the
man will soon go where he’ll be appreciated.
Clinger: Being
over-possessive isn’t cute. Learn to give him a break. Men like to have
their solo time, hang out with friends and do ‘manly’ things. Your
following him around and keeping tabs on him won’t stop him from having
an affair if he wants to; you might even be giving him good reasons to
do it. Don’t make yourself his clutch bag. The more you insist on
tagging along, the more likely it is that you’ll be tagged out.
Prim and Proper: One
thing this group fails to realize is that boys will always be boys. When
a woman keeps a particular thing at a particular spot and gets upset
when it is moved, that is a big issue with men who are often less rigid.
No man wants to be around a woman who sweeps the floor every second or
has a particular space for a particular cup or spoon or a particular
hanger for a particular dress. Let go; live a little!
