Just came across this, so thought to share with you all.
RELATIONSHIP TIPS FOR WOMEN
If a man wants you, nothing can keep him away.
If he doesn’t want you, nothing can make him stay…
Stop making excuses for a man and his behavior.
…4) Allow your intuition (or spirit) to save you from heartache.
Stop trying to change yourself for a relationship that’s not meant to be.
Slower is better.
Never live your life for a man before you find what makes you truly happy.
If a relationship ends because the man was not treating you as you deserve, then heck no, you can’t ‘be friends.’ A friend wouldn’t mistreat a friend.
Don’t settle.If you feel like he is stringing you along, then he probably is.
Don’t stay because you think ‘it will get better.’ You’ll be mad at yourself a year later for staying when things are not better.
The only person you can control in a relationship is you.
Avoid men who’ve got a bunch of children by a bunch of different women. He didn’t take responsibility when he got them pregnant, why would he treat you any differently?
Always have your own set of friends separate from his.
Maintain boundaries in how a guy treats you; if something bothers you, speak up.
Be aware that healthy relationships are built on trust, and that trust takes time to develop. It may be unwise to share too much of yourself and about yourself too quickly. (See 6 above)
You cannot change anyone else’s behavior. Change comes from within.
Don’t EVER make him feel he is more important than you are, even if he has more education or a better job. And don’t ever make him feel less important than you are either.
Do not make him into a quasi-god; he’s a man, nothing more, nothing less.
Never let a man define who you are.
A man will only treat you the way you ALLOW him to treat you.
All men are NOT dogs.
You should not be the one doing all the bending…compromise is a two-way street.
You need time to heal between relationships…there’s nothing useful about baggage… deal with your issues before pursuing a new relationship.
You should never look for someone to COMPLETE you…a relationship consists of two WHOLE individuals…look for someone complimentary…not supplementary.
Allow him to miss you sometimes…if a man always know where you are all the time, and you’re always readily available to him - he may take you for granted… remember that you have your own life to live which may not always include him.
Don’t fully commit to a man who doesn’t listen to you and try to meet your needs.
Half of these points are idiotic, in my humble opinion.
point 11 :rotfl:
Women control their husband and son(s). Desi women are pioneer of this art hands down. Life of is a buzzer affidavit of this fact.
so once you accept this fact that our women can easily mold their relationship buddy then half of these points go down the drain.
Point 13 - 22 are ok, bit feminist leverage but ok.
Point 26 :k: remind me of some old endeavor of similar lines.
Mostly, desi women are more emotionally stronger and captivating than western breed. They can change others. They can control their men to some extent.
This laundry list is difficult to remember and too long to compile a cheat sheet to refer to when you are peegain baraing with a man.
So just remember just one relationship credo give respect and earn respect.
Who sits around coming up with this stuff....and aside from the ones about men not being dogs, or getting girls pregnant the list can easily be applied to men as well ( not that I agree with all of it )

I don't think you can make that statement without bias.
