Being Number One
Most men find this to
be a big shock, but all women
want to be Number One. Just
ask Cinderella, Cleopatra,
Miss Piggy, or any other well-known
female icon. They want to know
they come first in a man’s order of
priorities. They want their main man to choose them over
every other activity or relationship. If your girl feels
sure of this, she won’t mind when your mother,
child, friend, or co-worker calls and asks for help.
What
she needs, before any of these people call upon you,
is a mutual understanding. Explain to her that your
close relationships may require different degrees of
attention, from time to time, and you want her support
in handling your responsibilities. However, she won’t understand if you often have dinner with your Ex, or
drop your plans with her to have beer with the guys instead,
or never ask about her day because you watch the sports
channel every minute you’re at home. Being Number
One is the Number One desire of most women.
2.
Keeping Your Word
Women want a man who keeps his word in
his relationships, his work, and in all aspects of
life. If you promised her the world, (Disney World,
that is) then you need to keep your promise. If you
can’t, tell her so
(preferably, beforehand) and tell her how you plan to
make it up to her. More importantly, don’t make
agreements you can’t keep. Broken agreements are
the source of broken relationships.

Listening
Women want a man who listens. If you are a guy, I
know you are tired of hearing about this one, but
it is central to what a woman wants. Women enjoy
talking about their feelings, daily events, relationships,
upsets, shopping purchases, and family and friends,
more than any other activity. Apparently, listening
to topics of this nature is difficult for most men
to do.
You
may have had the tires on her car rotated; you may
have fixed her screen door; and you may have bought
a new battery for her smoke alarm. You may also think
that doing all that shouts LOVE and you should be
allowed to veg-out on the sofa, undisturbed for weeks
or months. But if you want your girl to be happy,
and if she is trying to talk to you, stop what you
are doing, turn off the cell phone and TV, and give
her your full attention. When you do, she will feel
close to you.

Believing Her
A woman wants her man to believe her. Men tend
to be (or think they are) far more analytical than
women. Therefore, they often have a tendency to dismiss
or discount what she is saying. If you know how to
balance your brain with your heart, listening and
believing are relevant to your relationship. If she
has proven herself to be wise and trustworthy, believe
her. If you are with someone you don’t trust, then her
words will have no effect on you. Furthermore, you have
a bigger issue than just not listening. It’s called—why
are you there?
5.
Doing What She Asks
I know, I know—that
sounds like a tall order. But if you implement what she
asks for, you will have peace and harmony. This statement
assumes she is a good person; that she is basically rational;
that she doesn’t ask the impossible of you; and
she is equally giving. You don’t have to be a wimp
to give her what she wants. Obviously, she also wants
a man with backbone. But doing what she asks demonstrates
that you care.
