For ladies :Things you must never do, if you want your man to respect you....
1. Don’t be a ‘yes’ girl
Men, on the whole, do respect a person who is prepared to
express their opinion, even if they don’t agree with that
opinion. A girl who agrees with everything a man says and
whose only answer to everything is ‘yes’ will soon lose the
respect of any, even half intelligent, man.
2. Don’t get drunk
Men do tend to have double standards when it comes to
getting drunk. If one of their pals gets drunk, then he’s just
having a good time, but to most men, if a woman gets drunk
in public, that’s just plain unpleasant and demeaning. Tipsy
and giggly is fine, but falling over in the street is a sure way to
lose a man’s respect.
3. Not having a life of your own
Most guys want to be a part of a woman’s life, not her whole
life. Men respect independent women, who have their own
friends, their own interests and their own ambitions and, by
far, the majority of men do not want the old fashioned, stay at
home and do the cooking and cleaning, type of partner. They
like to be pampered sometimes, but they respect a woman
who has her own life too.
4. Don’t jump into bed too soon
The truth is that this is another one of those male double
standards. While most men would love to have physical
intimacy on a first date, that doesn’t mean that they will
respect you for it afterwards. . hard to get, for a while, if you
want a man to see you as long term girlfriend material,
because that is what they expect and will respect.
5. Never lie
Honesty is a key element of gaining anyone’s respect and
even the smallest of lies can damage a man’s respect for you.
If you want a meaningful relationship with a guy, then tell the
truth from the outset. Lies have a nasty habit of coming back
to bite you, so be straight with a guy and he will respect you
for it.
6. Don’t complain about your ex’s
Complaining about how bad your ex was won’t get any extra
marks for you. Firstly, he doesn’t want to hear about them
anyway and secondly, it’s kind of a breach of confidence and
a man will begin wondering what you might say about him in
the future.
7. Don’t flirt with other guys
To you, it may be just innocent fun, but to a guy, being
flirtatious with other men will definitely damage his opinion of
you. It’s not just about his ego and his feelings; he will also
think less of you for playing games, even if he did love when
you did it to him.
8. Don’t pretend to be someone you are not
Men also respect women who are true to themselves. Don’t try
and playact to your man, because he will see through it and he
will not respect you for it. He would far rather get to know the
real you, flaws and all. Most men like their women to be ‘real’
and they don’t respect insincere flattery and pretense.
9. Don’t stop being a lady
Men do love an independent woman, but they still love a lady
too. Don’t try and be one of the boys, because guys do not
respect girls who can out drink them, out belch them or out
cuss them. If they wanted that, they’d date one of their
friends!
