We can't help it, after all, we are just Men
Posted : 7 Nov, 2011 06:32 AM

Ok Ladies, what is the single most prevelant mistake ( not affair related) we men make in relationships? Is it our lapse in the forgotten practice of chivalry. Since history repeats itself, are we men truly past the point of no return and destined for the caves we once ruled with a rod of iron? Feel free to rip us.

I don't think it's just men. The world in general seems to be getting more and more rude. I think it starts with ourselves, men and women. I was coming into a store with my hands full the other day, and this lady looked right at me and let the door slam in my face.



It's so easy to be rude to people. Sometimes being nice is the last thing we want to do. But it's got to be a personal choice. Someone may slam the door in your face, but that shouldn't stop you from holding it for them in return. Whether you're a man or a woman, you should be the change you want to see in others.



And it maybe outdated in some respects, but I'm teaching my little girl the same thing. I'm teaching her "sir" and "ma'am," and to hold doors for older people, even if they are crotchety and rude in return. It all starts with respect.



And men. The good manners shouldn't stop when you get married. If you opened a woman's car door when you were dating, you need to keep doing it when she's your wife! Don't just set a precedent then let your true colors show after you think you've got her! Same thing with women. If you babied him when you were dating, don't stop just because you got married. That kind of neglectfulness is what causes resentment!

One huge mistake men make is to fail to learn a woman's love language. Everyone is different, men and women. Some show their love by doing things for the other person. Others may show their love by words of praise and adoration, some with gifts, others with touch. But if you show someone how much you love them by using your own love language and not their's then they may not understand your attempts communicate your love. You have to find out her/his love language and "speak" it. :hearts:
