Manual For Who???

I always find it hilarious when guys complain about " Women are complicated" "Women are hard to understand" "To deal with a woman you need a manual". Still tickles me when I think about it.

Gentlemen, let's dive back to the creation story. Woman was created from Man's rib. So, as a man, do you need a manual to understand yourself?

U
nfortunately, as humans, we tend to complain about minimal things that if one takes keen interest and notice the little things, you will get it right. Let me test you: if you are very keen to detail; the "manual" is right before your eyes. Let's see if you're smart enough to get it.

N
otice the little or big details that trigger her anger and AVOID them. Its that SIMPLE.


D
on't you dare disrespect her. This can be a touchy topic because I've heard guys say the only reason they disrespect their ladies is because they either deserve it or because of how they act. So question is, WHY ARE YOU WITH HER? I personally detest men who disrespect women. Women are powerful beings because we have to ability to bring life to this world, take care of beings, clean up after you and yet you think you have the balls to lay a hand on her. When she's out of the door, you come back crying and begging her back.... no one ain got time for that. Who raised you? Respect the women in your life; SIMPLE. Women, on the other hand, don't disrespect your men. What we fail to think about in the moment is the effect of losing what you have. You never know the value till you no longer have it.

E
ducate. Educate. Educate. When you don't like something in a certain way, show how you like it done if not say it. Let the person know you either, ain't comfortable with something or you just don't like it. For instance, I love a specific salad from one of the coffee houses in my town but I hate the fact they make it with onions. When I order for the salad, these days, they don't even ask me, it comes without the onions and I leave as a happy customer unlike when I watch other people grouch and complain about minor things that can easily be changed. God created you with a mouth for a reason.

R
eading signals is like the worst thing ever. People who know me, know how I really hate reading signs. You either communicate clearly; in black and white or don't bother at all. Trying to read in between the lines is like...without cursing. I can't even explain it. You need to communicate effectively unless you enjoy going off and being on each others throats.

S
haring. Sharing experiences. Sharing thoughts. Sharing emotions. This is something that I have learnt that goes a long way. Despite been a form of communication, it makes you understand the other person's perspective as well as; in some instances; explain a certain way of reaction.

T
he meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed- C.G Jung. Can you imagine dating your clone? Of course at first it would be amazing but after awhile it would get odd and in ALL honesty... BORING followed by a CLASH. For those of you who think your clone would be the perfect match; you are straight up FULL OF YOURSELF. #JustSaying

A
s a single child, I have always been told that I am self-centered. And the ironic bit is I always challenge the people who come up with that statement. If I am self-centered, then why do I bother accommodating you? Its always a husher. I do agree accommodating someone can be hard but one needs to consider the attributes that they have to stand up to because there's no one who is perfect. We all have a trait that drives someone if not some people up the wall. So before you ever go off on her again, think of what she has to take from you.

N
ever compare. I believe this rule should only be when purchasing materialistic items. Comparison is very delicate as it affects one's attributes and character. This immediately triggers a spark that makes one flip out very easily.


D
aring to be different is definitely scary (for those obsessed with routines and constant actions) but once in awhile, going out of your norm, not only pushes you to do something different but exposes a chance to explore something new. I have a friend whose husband did the most outrageous thing ( I would say in his books) but it was all in the name of love and was definitely worth the risk. Doing what she likes once in awhile won't kill you.

H
onesty is better than SUGAR COATED BULLSHIT. You may like it or not but I will tell you like it is. Honesty is one of the things that breaks trust in any type of relationship. It may sting and hurt but I always say its best for someone to know the truth from me other than from someone else. This applies especially to those closest to me.

E
valuate the situation before saying a word. I don't think I'm the only one who stomps off when I'm upset.... ok let me be honest... I go silent. Then you come round and ask me "Are you mad at me?" "Nah. I just miss chewing gum..." If you are keen with a lady, especially during an argument, you will know when she's upset. So please.... don't ask if we are ok. It'll land you in the bad books if not a cold shoulder when you go to bed.

R

elationships are very diverse. Each with their own extremities. One just needs to understand the other person...as simple as that :-)

AWAKEN

I was once in love with you,
I was once hypnotized by your eyes,
I was once engrossed in your conversation,
I was once head over heels for you.

I was once attracted to your smile,
I was once challenged by the ambition,
I was once intrigued by your confidence,
I was once infatuated by your style.

I was once caught up in your spell,
I was once encapsulated in your embrace,
I was once blinded by your actions,
I was once confused by your personality.

Just one slip and the script changed.

You are now an enemy to me,
You are now a deceitful character to my eyes,
You are now the reason for this void,
You are now nothing but a chapter in my past.

You are now the reason I can't stop tearing,
You are now the reason I am afraid of the dark,
You are now the reason I no longer trust no one,
You are now my worst nightmare.

Although on the other hand

I thank you for the strength that I have gained,
I thank you for the courage you instilled in me,
I thank you for the challenges you challenged me to,
I thank you for the independence I got from the detachment.
I thank you for awakening me.

In life we tend to go through certain experiences that make us automatically strong. They are not necessarily human inflicted but scenarios that make us awaken from the phase we were wrapped up in. Instead of letting situations get you down, overcome and learn from them.
