More of what to avoid with a woman

The woman’s mystery is still out there and we are here back with some more tips about what to avoid if you want your relationship boat to sail with no major tides. So here you go:

* Even though a positive criticism is generally encouraged when dealing with people especially those you care about, your woman expects her mother or a friend to take care of the criticizing part so back off. Even though, as a man when you ask for someone’s opinion you really want it, women are a little different. 

Yes, she asked you what you think about her outfit, yes you totally gave her the honest answer, which is the right thing as an honest human being but no, she doesn’t usually want the truth. Women want to spend their time with men that make them feel good about themselves. 

You must know that if she asks you about your opinion straight forward and you have no other way of getting out of it, let her know what you think in a sentence that is decorated with compliments; that’s the only way things can work for you. 

* Make sure that you are making enough time for her and that you are doing the effort just for her. As a human being you are destined to miss your single life once in a while and even though you haven’t been to a game with your pals for so long, it’s important that you know that you have to make some time especially for your partner without stressing about the fact that you have given her your friends’ time.

* The minute you get hitched to that special someone, you’d better realize that you have got hitched to the whole package, which includes her family and friends. Forget about judging them for a moment and try to see what she sees in them, you are most likely to like them more. 

If she knows for a fact that her mom was rude to you, she would go tell her to take care next time and be nicer to you but to your face she will tend to be defensive even though she knows you have a point. 

Your best asset is to be friends with people who are close to her, because one way or another fights with them means fights with your girl. And remember it goes around so if you are having your own battle with someone from her side, it’s most likely she has the same battle from someone from your side.

* I have heard complaints from men all the time about women spending less time on themselves after getting into a relationship but the weird thing is that I am getting the same complaints from women nowadays as well. 

We are not talking about spending thousands of your money on getting in style but we are talking about personal hygiene when you are starting to be a little comfortable into your relationship. 

Taking less care of yourself only means one of two; that you were either only pretending to be something you are not or even if she accepts it, she would translate it that you no longer think she is important enough to do the effort of faking it. 

That’s all for now; it’s not a battle but the worst thing you can do to any relationship is making her feel that you took her for granted; it kills any relationship.
