Dating Deal Breakers That Drive Men Away: 12 Relationship Killers That Ruin Your Long-Term Potential with High-Quality Men

Commitment-ready, relationship-minded men have a low tolerance policy for any factor that might make a woman appear “unequipped” to take on a serious relationship. Just like the goodhearted women who want nothing more than to find the right man to love and someday build a life with, relationship-minded men want desperately to avoid falling in love with someone that could make their life a living hell. Because of this, guys like this are VERY discriminating when assessing a woman’s long-term relationship potential. And they won’t think twice about dismissing a woman once they realize she’s not really “Girlfriend Material”, and thus, not worth their time and attention. Relationship-minded men are less likely to waste a woman’s time because their time is extremely precious to them. Because they value commitment, relationships, social and family ties very highly, they date with the intention of finding a woman they can someday build a life with. As a man matures he becomes less trusting of a woman’s physical beauty and charm. Instead, when evaluating her long-term relationship potential, he places greater attention on the quality of her personal character (or lack thereof), as well as those things that have a direct or indirect influence upon her character; such as the people, places, and things in her life. After a woman has passed a man’s physical appearance test, he will gauge her level of chemistry with him (the way she makes him feel). And once a man realizes that he has a good enough amount of chemistry with a woman, over time he will slowly evaluate various aspects of her character in order to determine if she is, in fact, a woman worth dating for long-term love and perhaps even marriage. Because commitment-minded men are more likely to assess a woman’s relationship potential based on her character rather than her physical appearance or interpersonal chemistry alone, this short and concise book focuses on the most common deal-breaking “red flags” that stem from a woman’s character (as well as those things that affect her character). This book was designed to provide women with an inside look at how men think and what men want in a woman when they’re ready for a serious relationship. In it, you’re going to see things from a man’s point of view, as you discover the various aspects about a woman’s life and behavior that might force a man to lose interest in her and disappear without a trace. Here’s what you’re going to learn Get started now and discover the most common relationship-killers that cause men to quickly lose interest, pull away, and disappear.

I’m doing research on men and how they think.
Most men are very simple, if you just listen and observe instead of imposing your fantasies on them you will understand a men better.

It makes you wonder if men are so immature that women have to do all the work. Patriarchy full blown on this one.

Gave this a quick skim because I was curious. It's surprisingly reasonable, like don't try to change him, don't be a flake, and don't be a drama queen. I don't know if people can really change those behaviors if they have them, but the only one I identified with was not letting the guy protect and provide for me. Receiving has not been one of my stronger strengths, but I'm working on it in other areas. I'll take it under advisement here, too.

Highlights:
The three pillars of manhood are to procreate, to protect, and to provide. If you decide that you don’t need a man for even just one of those pillars, as long as he’s with you he will feel as if something is missing in his life. But let’s be practical for a minute.

The problem here however, is when you either have unrealistic expectations (like wanting to find a man who can beat your six-figure income) or you resist it when a man wants to take care of you. If a man is able

to do so, he will enjoy the burden of providing for you. Even if you’re quite capable of providing for both you and him, do not deprive him of this desire if he’s clearly showing an interest in taking care of you in some form or fashion.

Give him room to fulfil his naturally hard-wired roles as a man. A good man wants to cultivate a life with a woman who is willing to be interdependent with him. In the same way a woman desires to feel desired, a man needs to feel needed. A good man, one who revels in his masculinity, will love and cherish you for allowing him the opportunity to bear the burdens that come with being born a male.

Keep in mind that the man worth dating, the Mr. McDreamy you want to end up with, is the kind of man who will accept you for who you are, flaws and all. He will not make it his life’s purpose to mold you into his personal ideal, no matter what kind of potential he sees in you. Granted, he’ll want to influence you to constantly grow and evolve as he’ll expect the same treatment from you, but he won’t manipulate or try to force you to change.

Such a man will love you unconditionally because he has a high-level of respect for you, as respect is the language men understand most in ALL their relationships. Not accepting him for who he is clearly communicates that you don’t respect him, and if a man doesn’t feel that you respect him he won’t be able to fall in love or stay in love with you.

The whole idea of “being yourself” should actually be stated as “accept yourself and be vulnerable with others.” Accepting yourself allows you to appreciate the good, bad, and ugly things about yourself while understanding that you have room for improvement if you want to get better results when relating with others. The second part to this equation is being vulnerable, which makes people, the right people, like you and want to be around you because they empathize with you.

What I liked the most on Bruce Bryans books is that he conveys the message in an easy, super understandable manner, that makes common sense concepts seem mindblowingly revelations.

I enjoyed 7 of his books as much as every one of them and I can honestly say I got new useful information in each one of them.

I plan to

buy all of his books. There are some things I have prior knowledge; however, the in-depth statements are great I had to write them down.
