This is such good advice!! Men are by nature lazy creatures; they will get away with as much as you let them ladies so make sure that you set your standards and live by them! Btw, this is the advice that a GUY gave me, not from my own mouth as I am more likely too much of a giver as well!

"I feel sad when I see a gal who is a trophy but acts like a maid" bulls eye!!! thats what i always see in gals lately..and the same gals who always complain that their bfs dont do stuffs for them!
i once read an article where a gal did everything for the guy (like his mum) and then the guy went off and married another gal and became the best husband, coz he was previously nagged nearly to death for not doing the things he should do! weird stuff
gr8 post, savvy!

desperation in both men and women is rather unattractive! it is always best when attraction and consideration and courtesy is mutual!

I agree that men like to work at and earn things. Or else they just lose interest. =\

Btw, happy CNY! =D

I so agree it is harder say than done. We don't want to be a B with an Itch but it is important to own one's happiness first. It is always more attractive to have a life. Imagine if a guy is always around, how would we feel, right?
Kylie Mc is right, gals do take an advantage of guys too. This can happen both way. It is just I am talking from a woman's pt of view. : )

I couldn't agree more. Relationships are a dance and they are also give/take. Anticipation is key to long term happiness. Security stems from honesty, anticipation should always be there to keep things exciting.

Well said my dear!

Happy weekend to you.

I agree 100% with your post. I spent many years of my early 20's being the girl who did everything for her boyfriend, and it always seemed to backfire on me. When I stopped living my life to make someone else happy and just lived my life - I met and married a great guy. Even now, my husband know that while he is important to me, I have other hobbies, interest, and things that fufill. He is therefore more appreciative of the things that I do for him. Too many of my married friends, complain that their husbands never help out and seem to take them for granted.....but the women let them, so there's the crux of the issue.

There is definately a fine line between desperate and considerate.

I agree, you have to give and take and not put all of yourself out there.

2010-02-19T04:35:58.686-08:00

Everything you said is true, but can be so hard to do in real life. I always said I was not going to be "that girl." Then I was "that girl" twice. Horrible mistakes.

It also depends on what you saw growing up. We mimic what we saw in our parents' relationship(s).

Love ya girl!

2010-02-19T02:26:05.913-08:00

I agree with most of what you said here. Some guys are just take,take,take. They just use us for sex and move on when they get bored-hunting, as you called it, yes.

Good post. It's the "don't sit and wait by the phone" concept. A guy will take a girl for granted if she's always waiting around for him to lead her life. Own your life, don't let someone else. Relationships are about being partners, not one dictated everything for both parties. Btw, this can be true the other way around too (guys being taken for granted by girls).
