Relationship Advice for Men Check Evolution to Find a Mate

What is the best relationship advice for men?
What should men know if they want a relationship
to work for the long haul?

Probably the single biggest piece of relationship
advice for men is to stop listening to what
women say they want and start observing what women
actually display that they want.

How do they display what they want?
It is as simple as observing what
kind of men they choose.

Women say “I want a man who listens to me.”
They choose the man who dominates the conversation.
Women say, “I want a guy with a good sense of humor.”
They date the guy who has money.

Why do women say they want one thing but actually
go out with a guy who is just the opposite?
The answer to that question lies in the subconscious
motivators for getting together.
And, therein lies my relationship advice for men.

The historical, biological reason for men and women
to get together is to propagate the species.
In other words, just because getting pregnant may be
the last thing on her conscious mind, when she evaluates
a man at the subconscious level, she’s still looking
for a good papa for her children.

Is the good dad someone who listens to her?
No, it is someone who will provide for her children.
And, the person who can provide for her children is
someone who has the confidence to bring home the bacon.

Women need men who can be good providers.
While a man can produce thousands of sperm on repeated
occasions throughout their adult lives, even into
their 90’s, women have about 400 chances of
producing a baby. As a result, they are looking for
a man who can provide longevity and stability for their babies.

A man who tells a women he is a lawyer and not a
paralegal will have a better chance of landing her.
That is because she perceives that a lawyer is a better
provider for her future children.

But having a good income is not enough.
A woman needs to perceive that a man is generous with
his resources and will provide for her children.
That is why women place such a high value
on gifts such as jewelry.

It may also be why the engagement ring must be
such a large purchase. When you ask a woman to marry you,
you give her a ring, not just because it is traditional
and romantic, but because it is a tangible display that
you can provide for her and her children.

Further, even though modern humans make money more
from their brains than their brawn, women are still
programmed to think of strength equaling the ability
to provide. That’s why, even when there is evidence
to the contrary in the form of a tax return, the woman
is hardwired to choose the lineman over the computer geek.

So, the biggest piece of relationship advice for men
is to figure out what women need from an evolutionary
point of view and give it to her.

How You Tell If You Are In A Poisonous Relationship

Can you tell if you are in a poisonous relationship?
Here are some clues:

1)You have changed things about yourself to please them.

2)While your partner says they love you,
their actions don’t back it up.

3)Your partner puts you down (verbally) in front of others

4)Your partner is controlling – reading your mail or
“showing up” at places you are just to “check up” on you.

5)Your partner tries to make you dependent on them.

Toxic people make you feel ill just being around them.
So, why would anyone end up in a poisonous relationship?
Why would anyone want to be with someone who makes them
feel emotionally or physically harmed?

A poisonous relationship has a cycle.
There’s a honeymoon period, followed by a blow up,
followed by a reconciliation – at which point
the cycle begins anew.

When you first meet a new partner,
you are obviously in the honeymoon stage.
It is not until they’ve sucked you in further that
you realize that you are in a toxic relationship.
At that point, it is difficult to get out.

One reason is that many people in toxic relationships
grow up in toxic homes. As a result,
they replicate the patterns of their childhood
without even knowing they’re doing it.
And, they may not know any better.
Others believe they do not deserve happiness.
Still others find that they enjoy taking care of people.

But the first step in getting out and staying out
of toxic relationships is to realize that you do have choices.
Often people who stay in these couples have low
self esteem or suffer from depression.

Once you realize that you have choices,
the next step is to start standing up for yourself.
In most poisonous relationships, the toxic partner
has taught you that it is all your fault.
Once you buy into this, it can be very difficult to
either walk away from the relationship or set new
limits that can heal the relationship.

For some people, working in therapy groups can help
them either get out of or redefine these horrible relationships.

The good news is that some people are able to
break the cycles of toxic relationships.
Some of them leave the relationship and form new,
healthier bonds.

But others are actually able to repair their
relationship and stay in it.

The truth is that most relationships are able to be salvaged.
Sometimes it takes a little space. Other times,
it takes counseling. But if both partners make an attempt,
it is possible to renew the bonds in a healthy way.

The first thing you need to decide is that the relationship
must improve or you’re willing to walk away.
If you aren’t willing to walk away, you’ll never be able
to heal that which divides you.

Once you have liberated yourself from the dependency that
is at the core of a toxic relationship,
you can start to assert what you need from the connection.
Don’t nag the other person. Simply say “I need your support,”
“I need your love,” or “I need your truthful opinion.”

If you don’t get what you need, the other person should
know that you’re prepared to walk.

A healthy relationship is a two way street.
In a toxic relationship, the street is only going one way.
You have the power to change that, but you must take the
power into your own hands.

Relationship Quotes From Famous People

Here are some funny quotes from famous people about relationships sure to
give you a smile.

"Lots of people want to ride with you in the limo, but what you want is someone who will take the bus with you when the limo breaks down."
-Oprah Winfrey

"Some of the biggest challenges in relationships come from the fact that most people enter a relationship in order to get something: they're trying to find someone who's going to make them feel good. In reality, the only way a relationship will last is if you see your relationship as a place that you go to give, and not a place that you go to take." -Anthony Robbins

"Some people come into our lives and leave footprints on our hearts and we are never ever the same." -Flavia Weedn

"The act of forgiveness is the act of returning to present time. And that's why when one has become a forgiving person, and has managed to let go of the past, what they've really done is they've shifted their relationship with time." – Caroline Myss

"Love is the irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired." – Mark Twain

"Well, it seems to me that the best relationships - the ones that last - are frequently the ones that are rooted in friendship. You know, one day you look at the person and you see something more than you did the night before. Like a switch has been flicked somewhere. And the person who was just a friend is... suddenly the only person you can ever imagine yourself with" ~ Gillian Anderson

"Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies." – Aristotle

"Man is a knot into which relationships are tied." ~Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

"You can't stop loving or wanting to love because when its right, it's the best thing in the world. When you're in a relationship and it's good, even if nothing else in your life is right, you feel like your whole world is complete." ~ Keith Sweat

How A Rebound Relationship Can Work In Your Favor

Now you have broken up with the love of your life and she is in a rebound relationship, how do you get her back?

A rebound relationship is one where she is dating someone else to get over you. Rebound relationships keep people from having to deal with the emotions of breaking up. They’re used to help people move on from a real love.

And that’s the key to getting your ex back. She’s in a rebound relationship to deal with losing you.

It does not matter why she lost you. It doesn’t matter if it is your fault or hers. It doesn’t even matter who actually called the relationship off. What matters is that you have a real love.

Because virtually all relationships founded on real love can be saved.

If she’s in a rebound relationship, she will be focusing on what is wrong with your relationship. If you were a “good guy” she’ll probably be hanging out with a “bad boy.” If you were into philosophy, he’ll be watching Monday Night Football. Or, vice versa.

The fact that she is actually focusing on the differences in your styles is actually good for you for two reasons. Her attention is still focused on you even when she’s with the new guy. And, it gives you a chance to see what she’s looking for.

If she’s with someone as different from you as possible, it means that she was missing something in your relationship. You can use the time she’s with rebound man to improve yourself.

Let the rebound relationship run its course. Because, as she spends time with the new guy, she’ll start to see the flaws in him. After a month or so with rebound man, you’ll start to look pretty good.

That’s why you don’t want to crawl back to her right away. Let her develop the idea that she misses the good things in the relationship. When she’s ready to make a move, be magnanimous. Welcome her back graciously. Be a new and improved boyfriend, but don’t do the chasing.

Here are some specific steps to take when your ex is in a rebound relationship:

· Don’t try to convince her that you are the love of her life. Let her discover this on her own.

· Don’t apologize profusely. If you did something wrong, you can say you’re sorry. Once. But move on. She knows the real reason she loves you.

· Don’t make promises to change. You are who you are and that’s who she fell in love with.

· Don’t try to make her see that it wasn’t your fault. She will come to appreciate that over time – but only if you haven’t made her invest energy in defending her position that it was your fault.

· Never, ever beg her to take you back.

When you ex starts going out with someone just after you break up, she’s in a rebound relationship. You can make up with her and get back together. Don’t despair. The rebound relationship is a sign that she’s still in love with you.

Advice For Men How to Keep a Woman Happy

The first thing on relationships is to always be yourself.
Many men don’t feel that they are good enough to
catch a beautiful, sexy woman, so they put on a show.
But a confident man is the sexiest guy around.
Have you ever noticed that some of the ugliest guys
have some of the prettiest women?
That is because they display a level of confidence
that is more attractive to women than physical looks.

Second, you should do the little things.
This means offering to take her car in for an oil change
or giving her a bag of candy (her favorite flavors)
from time to time. Sometimes men think in terms of
“grand gestures,” when it is the little things add up
to long relationships.

This ties into the next piece of advice on relationships:
appreciate her. Do not ever take her for granted.
Let her know that you value her.

Next up is not obviously looking at other women
when you are with her. Women think that you are
comparing her to the woman you’re looking at.
They don’t understand the whole concept of
“the day I stop looking is the day I die.” This
comes from the biological drive for monogamy in women.
Women are looking for a lifetime partner for a man
with whom they can raise children. They can’t help it.
That’s how evolution designed them. So minimize the ogling,
especially when she’s around.

Make her laugh. While men list good looks at the top
of the things they need in a woman, women list a
man’s sense of humor. So, if you want the relationship to last,
keep her laughing.

The next bit of advice on relationships comes in seeking
common interests. It’s great if you got together because
of a hobby or an interest, but it still helps when you
take an interest in a long standing passion of hers.
If this means developing an appreciation for foreign films,
so be it. This shows that you care about her and she’ll
know you are one in a million.

Once you get the girl, it may seem like you don’t have
to try anymore – at least as far as grooming goes.
And, while women are less sensitive to looks than men are,
they still like a man who makes an attempt. So, shave on weekends.
Keep in touch with the latest fashion trends for men.
In short, don’t get sloppy just because you’ve
landed her. You can unland her just as easily.

She’s going to need to know that she can integrate you
into her circle of family and friends.
A man must be part of her larger life, especially after
the first few weeks of passion are over.
So, make an effort to get along with her girlfriends
and impress her parents. A woman relies on her social
network to validate her relationship choices.
Make an effort, because you can really blow it here.

You should always be considerate of her feelings.
Women are less stable than guys. Part of this is hormonal.
When you are sensitive to her mood, you won’t get
on her bad side.

The final piece of advice on relationships is to be open
to trying new things. At the beginning of a relationship,
everything is new from the types of dates you arrange to
the way you kiss. But, after a while, these things
become routine. If you find that your relationship has
fallen into a rut, shake things up. Try something new.
It will go a long way to keeping your relationship healthy.

So, there are ten bits of advice on relationships to keep
your dating life strong. Look you guys, these things
are common sense and the fact is I almost drove my
sweetheart out of my life because I didn't pay attention
to what I was doing. There is a book that woke me up
written by T 'Dub' Jackson called "The Magic Of Making Up".

After I read it and began applying his common sense suggestions,
our love life turned around. Not only that all of my
personal relationships, with friends, co-workers
and my family have become much smother than they were before.

Learn How to Get The One You Love Back

Are you longing for the good old days and
hoping to rekindle a lost romance?
Are you interested in giving a troubled
relationship another chance?
Check out these steps detailed below and
you can learn how to get your romance back.

1 - This is BIG, patience is a virtue.
Do not rush anything, but rather start things
off with a simple smile whenever you pass your ex,
or waving and saying hello every so often.
You should maintain eye contact so that they know
you are communicating with him and not with
somebody else, but do not let it go much
further than this. Very important.

2 - Try slowly implementing conversation in again,
making an attempt to talk to them when you can.
Remember that you should keep your conversation brief,
and rather basic in nature. Do not reveal too much,
because mystery is actually quite a bit
appealing for many people. Also, if you run
into them at a party or a social gathering,
if your friends come into the room,
you may consider stopping the conversation to
return to them. This will let them know that
while their communication between the two of
you is nice, they are not your highest
priority right now. Don't be afraid to flirt a
little bit here and there as well.

3 - Keep lookin good. Make sure that you look good,
and smell good, and that you keep things changed up
on a fairly regular basis in order to keep them
interested in you. You should put some thought
into your appearance because maintaining your
good looks will show confidence and respect for
yourself and your body which is something that
most people find quite sexy and attractive.

4 - Go ahead and throw a few honest compliments
out there every so often. You are going to want
to make sure that your ex feels good any time
they are around you if you really want to
get your ex back. Talk about the good times
that you and they spent together, bringing up
good memories from the past. Help them remember
some of the best highlights from the days of
your relationship and enjoy the reminiscing
while simultaneously working to get them back.

Try to become your ex's friend first and foremost,
because if they want you back, they will eventually
let you know. Be their friend, open up to them,
show them a nice time, and if their feelings for
you are rekindled, they will let you know.
Take things slowly and don't act too needy.
Instead, just play it cool and let them come to you.
If things are meant to be, they will be, and
you will learn how to get the
romance back through the process.
