healthy relationships are always win-win.
what these men do respect are women who have a zero tolerance policy for time wasting and being manipulated.
a woman with weak personal boundaries will exhibit the kind of needy or desperate behavior that will compel a man to see her as nothing more than a hookup or a short-term love interest to distract himself with.
Never be too accessible. Before a serious relationship develops, do not allow yourself to be too available to a man as men quickly tire of that which is easily obtained.
If you want guys to take you seriously, you must get them to pick up the phone and call you.
Never risk your self-respect by trying to force a man to take an interest in you. It is better to disregard a man who displays a wavering interest than to lose both your dignity and sanity fighting for his attention.
if a man is making sincere and consistent attempts to make you want him, there’s a high chance you’ve taken up a place of importance in his mind.
Do not deprive a man of the joy of conquest.
And because a man’s actions reveal what’s in his heart (especially to himself), your job as a woman is to ensure that he feels as if he’s making an effort. Read that last sentence again.
Don’t fall into the trap of believing men when they tell you they have “commitment problems.”
You’ll be so busy thinking about what he wants, how to make him want you, and how to make him happy (so that he can want you), etc., that you’ll neglect to really consider whether or not he’s actually interested in making you happy.
Be graceful when communicating with men. The masculine heart is helpless in the presence of a woman whose language is tender and respectful.
Men need respect the way women need love.
Quality guys love confident women who display their high-value in both their character and their appearance. And this confidence is communicated loud and clear when a woman looks and moves (body language) like she believes she’s desirable.
Do not become complacent with your appearance after you’ve attained an exclusive relationship.
Resolve to be a woman who only dates men of a higher quality, as a reputation for dating dissolute men can come back to haunt you.
Be a man’s ‘mountain’ not his ‘stepping-stone.’
Date as if you believe, without a shadow of a doubt, that you truly deserve a man’s unconditional love.
