10 Steps to Being A Better Wife

1) Take care of yourself turns out that the best thing you can do for your husband is also good for you. Eat healthy foods, maintain good grooming, and exercise regularly. You'll look and feel better, and you'll continue to be the vibrant and attractive woman he fell in love with, no matter your age.

2) Say thank you, often when researchers ask men what they want from their wives, appreciation always makes the list. Everyone likes to be appreciated, so remember to notice the things your husband does—for you, for the kids, for the house—and thank him. You'll put a smile on his face and a little joy in his heart.

3) Keep the romance alive when was the last time you planned a romantic interlude with your husband? If you can't remember, you're way overdue. Be affectionate, write love notes, plan a date, and never stop flirting him. Remind him that you still find him attractive.

4) Let him have "guy time" everyone needs time for themselves—to relax, enjoy a hobby, or socialize with friends. If your husband loves football and you don't, don’t bug him about it. Encourage him to cultivate friendships with other men. He'll enjoy the companionship. Studies show that people with friends tend to live longer, healthier lives.

5) Make your husband a priority with the everyday stresses of work, home, and kids, it's easy to take your husband for granted. Make time for the two of you to reconnect on a regular basis. Take an interest in his work and hobbies. Let him know he's important to you.

6) Don't try to change him are you outgoing, but your husband is shy? Do you like a clean house, but he leaves towels on the floor? Behavioral experts say you can't change others, you can only change yourself and how you react—so look for ways other than nagging to handle these situations. Compromise on social activities by making them shorter. Place a laundry basket in the bathroom. And when he attends a party or puts dirty towels in their proper place, thank him. Positive reinforcement beats nagging every time.

7) Don’t make him guess—tell him what you want. It's easy to assume that the person who lives with you every day also knows you well enough to know what you want. Not true. Most of us view the world through our own needs and desires, so don't be surprised if your husband thinks that what you want is what he would want. If you want something specific—advice, a hug, or a red sweater for your birthday—let him know.

8) Cultivate friends and interests outside your marriage. Once you’re married, it's easy to shrink your social network to revolve around your husband. But no one person can meet all your needs, and it’s too much to expect your husband to be your partner, and your best girlfriend. Make time for friendships outside your marriage. You'll have more fun and bring new energy to your relationship.

9) Let free time be free - Just as you need time to relax and unwind, so does your husband. He may not define it the way you do, though; while your idea of relaxing after work may be talking over a cup if coffee, he may enjoy being quiet for awhile, reading the newspaper, or watching TV. Find a compromise so both your needs are met. And give him time to recharge by not over-scheduling weekends with home projects and shopping.

10) Believe in your husband, and let him know it. Men can display a lot of bravado, but like us they sometimes struggle with low self-confidence and feelings of failure. And because men approach the world as competitors, they sometimes end up feeling like losers. When he comes home, your husband needs to know that the person he values most in the world believes in him—especially when he doesn't believe in himself.

First Date Conversation Tips

If you don’t know much about your date, having a nice friendly chatter over coffee won’t be an easy task. What you would ideally like to do is to keep the conversation jitter free. You would like to make the conversation smooth and interesting and steer clear of that awkward
l silence where your nervous urge to fill those gaps makes you blurt out something really stupid. Here are a few suggestions to get over first date jitters:
What she likes to do for fun
Well you should definitely ask her these questions if you plan to take her out again. Ask her what she likes to do on weekends. Whether she prefers watching movies, dancing, long drives or smoking hookahs in a lounge pub. If you can actually get her turned on about trying out something novel and interesting you can bet that she will start looking towards going for the next date.
Her friends & family
Though a number of dating gurus advise men against asking their date about her family and friends, it actually works quite well in the Indian scenario. Most girls will happily chatter on for hours about how their little brothers and sisters are a complete nuisance or how strict those dads are. All you would need to do is smile, nod and look interested.
TV shows
Given a chance we would all turn into couch potatoes, and since you can safely assume that you date is reasonably interested in TV, ask her about her favourite shows. Since reality TV is replacing sitcoms and Saas-Bahu stuff, make jokes about how ten fat asses were encouraged to sweat out and lose weight and the biggest looser actually walked away with fifty lakhs. Make it interesting but don't talk as if TV is the centre of your existence.
Current events
If your girl seems to be the intellectual type you can dazzle her with your knowledge about what’s happening around the globe. But keep the discussions light and friendly. If she has strong opinions about  something hear her out, and don’t switch over to the debating mode. If, however, your life seems to revolve around work, sports and porn, be sure to read a lot of women’s magazines before going for the date.
What she likes in men
This is a golden opportunity of finding out about the kind of men she likes to be with. Does she prefer security or adventure? Does she fall for the boy- next- door type or gets turned on by tall muscular hunks with six packs.
Future plans
She'll love to have you ask her future plans, her goals and aspirations. Ask her about her career plans, where she'd like to live, who she'd like to emulate, and how she plans on making it all happen.
Vacation and holiday destinations
We all love the idea of travelling and visiting those exotic locations. Experiencing a different place, trying out new cuisines, shopping for knickknacks and partying out all night – sharing vacation experiences truly makes for great conversation. It’s a virtual goldmine if you want to get talking or enthral her with your adventures.
Past dates
It would actually be best to avoid saying
anything about past relationships and girlfriends or asking her about her previous boyfriends. However, sharing ) funny date stories can easily fill up a couple of hours if you are a decent story
teller. If you don’t have anything to share just make up a few funny ones. Also get her to share a few of her own; this may actually give you some vital hints regarding her tastes in men.
To make your first date perfect and memorable
Be sure to keep the conversation focussed on her. Let it flow naturally, and you just might have the most memorable first date in history.

Never Say These Things To A Woman

Relationships are tricky, because they have unwritten rules that nobody discusses but everyone is expected to know of. Truth be told, all the rules in dating are unwritten, but there are certain rules that are so obvious they need not be explained. Sadly however, we’re here to break down 5 of those rules because some guys are just plain ignorant. Here are things that you should never say to a woman unless you want to deal with a scorned woman.
1) You Look Like…
No. Stop. Don’t even complete that sentence. Don’t ever make the fatal mistake of comparing her with someone else. Chances are you would compare her to someone who she completely despises. Let her be the only referral point of your attraction scale. At least out loud, if you tend to think otherwise.
2) You Look Fine
What’s worse than saying you look like (insert any random hot girl)? It’s saying you look fine. Fine? What the hell does that even mean? Telling a woman she looks fine is like telling her she’s sweet or she’s nice. The dessert that you ate last night was sweet too. Oh, and the grocery store guy is also nice because he gives you free candies. Please do us a favour and never use this sentence ever.
3) You Sound Like My Mother
The only time using this is kind of alright is when you’re hundred percent confident she likes your mother or if you’re just good heartedly giving her a hard time. But even then this is something which will be used against you in a legitimate argument later. So, just scrap any talks of mothers, yours or hers both.
4) Don’t Get So Excited About (Insert hot male celebrity here)
If we love a celebrity, I mean really love a celebrity then just looking at his picture won’t cut in. There is a compulsive need to know everything about him, find every last bit of trivia, videos, interviews while simultaneously discussing about him to everyone we know. And it’s not a choice. We need to, have to do this, so stop asking us to calm down.
5) How Many Men Have You Been With?
Just as she would never ask you about the number of women you’ve been with, you should never ask her about the number of men she has dated or slept with. Why? Because the number doesn't matter, there is nothing to be gained from that knowledge. However, there is a lot to lose, which includes her interest in you too.

Reasons Why Women Fall Out of Love

While women might be stonehearted warriors for the world, when it comes to love they act like mewling kittens. If they don’t get the requisite love and security with their partner, it is potent for them to lose the spark and eventually fall out of it.
1. The Honeymoon is Over
Ask any woman in a relationship and she will tell you with fond remembrance that the initial courtship period was the most exciting period of her relationship. The emotions were new, the sensations were exciting and the world seemed to be coloured in a rainbow palette. A year into the relationship, this so-called honeymoon period expires as couples fall into the familiarity pattern. Women start being taken for granted, and the heat of pursuit stagnates to frigidity, leaving her stifled in the monotony of the relationship.
2. Lack of Appreciation
While a woman might not seek validation from external sources, she reserves a special place for her partner. The amount of attention showered on her at the initial stages makes her feel like a princess, but as the novelty fades away, the princess turns into a common household frog with doleful eyes, seeking the same familiarity as before. Women need to feel the same amount of passion at all times, since their sense of personal security depends on it. When the attention slides, they feel under appreciated and begin questioning their place in the relationship.
3. Lack of Spontaneity
The reason why every woman compares her ‘nth’ year in a relationship with the first couple of months is because the initial courtship period sets standards so high, that it becomes hard for men to match up to them. The spontaneous longings and desires fizzle out for men, who begin treating the bond as habitual routine. This makes women begrudgingly fall into monotony. While men feel content watching games on the couches, women silently slink around in corners, regretting ever letting the relationship get this far.
4. Emotional Disconnect
While men are easily contented with merely having their partners around, even if they don’t find much time to communicate with them, women feel stifled with lack of communication. It is increasingly important to let your partner know how she makes you feel, for her to feel worthy enough to stay. This lack of communication is one of the major reasons why relationships falter after the initial days of romance are over. Women arefragile, when it comes to love and they only vest their feelings in hopes that their partner will be able to shield them from sorrows. When it is the very shield that gradually dissolves, she is left with noother option but to end the relationship and move on.

Surprising Ways to Prevent Cancer

The six lettered word ‘cancer’ often sends a chill down everyone’s spines. People are scared of this disease as it doesn’t have a definitive cure. Cancer harms the body when damaged cells divide uncontrollably to form lumps or masses of tissue called tumors. Tumors can grow and interfere with the digestive, nervous and circulatory systems and they can release hormones that alter body function. It is better to try and prevent this disease by making a few simple changes in our day-to-day lives. Try these novel strategies and your risk of cancer could dwindle even more.
Eight Glass Rule
Drinking plenty of water and other liquids may reduce the risk of bladder cancer by diluting the concentration of cancer-causing agents in urine and helping to flush them through the bladder faster. People with low fluid intake (less than 2.4 liters per day) are more likely to develop urinary tract cancers (including prostate, bladder, kidney, and testicular cancer) than those who are better hydrated. Drink at least 8 glasses of water every day to lead a happy and cancer-free life.
Add Garlic To Your Food
Garlic will not only add taste and flavor to your food but also reduce the risk of cancer. Protective effects from garlic may arise from its antibacterial properties or from its ability to block the formation of cancer-causing substances, halt the activation of cancer-causing substances, enhance DNA repair, reduce cell proliferation, or induce cell death. Studies suggest that garlic can reduce stomach cancer by as much as a factor of 12.
Limit Cell Phone Usage
Use cell phones with an earpiece and
speakerphone so the phone itself is not held up against your head and the radio frequency energy it emits stays away from your head. It should be used only for short calls or texts. The point is more to preempt any risk than to protect against a proven danger. If you get pain in your head on a daily basis, if you use your phone on a daily basis — your risk of brain cancer is escalating day by day. Once you get a brain cancer diagnosis, you will wish you had taken some precautions for protection. So, don’t delay and limit your cell phone usage from now itself.
Choose Your Outdoor Outfit Wisely
Certain colors like blue and red offer significantly better protection against the sun's ultraviolet rays than white and yellow ones. Thus, choosing the right outfit may help protect you against skin cancer. Long-sleeved shirts and long pants, dark colors and tightly woven fabric protect the skin from ultraviolet rays. Don't forget to put on a hat as it protects areas often exposed to intense sun, such as the ears, eyes, forehead, nose, and scalp. Though tumor can appear anywhere on the body, it's more common in areas the sun hits.
Coat Barbecue Food With A Thick Sauce
The blackened areas on charred and grilled flesh foods (meat, poultry and fish) are a source of carcinogenic chemicals. These chemical directly damage DNA, our genetic material, and initiate mutations that can lead to the development of cancer. But coating the meat with a thick marinade and thereby preventing direct contact with the charring flames reduces the amount of such chemicals created. Antioxidant herbs like rosemary and sage should be used as flavorings for your food prior to grilling as they add a punch of zest and aroma and reduce the cancer causing substances. You can also precook your meat inthe oven and then throw it on the grill to reduce the risk of cancer. Imbibing these small and simple preventive strategies in your daily lifestyle will help you stay away from the evil of cancer and lead a happy life. After all, prevention is better than cure.

Be Better Than The Other Guy

Have you ever considered the possibility that when you meet an attractive woman, chances of her being followed by several other potential suitors is very high? She may also have a steady boyfriend as attractive women are rarely ever single. Most men are well aware of this fact and this gets in the way of them making their moves. To get her attention you have to be different from all your competitors. The best way of doing this is to differentiate yourself from "the pack” and get her to chase you. To be different, you have to develop yourself -- inside and out -- so you can offer her the unique experience of being with a man who is better than all other guys she has been with. So here are some great tips to help you create that magical experience for her.

believe that you deserve better
The fact is that when it comes to beautiful women most men simply refuse to believe that they actually deserve success. This in turn affects their confidence. Unless you believe, you can’t act with conviction. Confidence is something that can’t be feigned and women can sense a FAKE from a mile. So if you believe that you don’t deserve to enjoy the company of attractive women, you are actually psyching yourself to all the wrong things and sabotaging your chances.
What you can do
Foster the belief that any woman should thank her stars to have got her hands on a guy like you. Try writing at least three reasons why you believe this is true. Keep adding something to the list everyday and watch it grow. As the number of your accomplishments increase, so will your confidence.

work on your insecurities
To attract beautiful women you have to tide over all those deep seated insecurities that you have so lovingly nurtured during your hither to unsuccessful dating career. Don’t try to cover them up. Because the more you try, the more obvious they will appear to women. It’s quite like seeing a
woman wearing too much makeup to cover the acne on her face. The harder she tries to conceal them the more they hit the eye.
what you can do
Instead of hiding your insecurities feature them till they stop bothering you. An excellent way of doing this is to use them to in your jokes when you flirt with women.If you are insecure about your hair loss say something like “This is never going to work out. You just keep looking at my gorgeous head. How would you feel if I kept staring at your gorgeous legs?”

take charge
Like every other guy, you too must have given up innumerable chances of starting a conversation with a woman you found attractive because you didn’t want to interrupt or bother her even when it seemed that she was open to being approached. You gawked at her or kept glancing at her and looked away when she caught youreye. Most men are unconsciously seeking PERMISSION to do every little thing. It’s like you haven’t yet got out of the “May I come in, ma’am” syndrome. Asking for permission has been drilled into the psyche of Indian men. So if the girls nod or give you a smile (which they often don’t), you walk towards them tentatively and mumble something to them, with a sickly smile on your face.
what you can do
Stop asking for permission. Visit places like malls and parties and start conversations with girls at random. It’s really not that difficult. A man with the freedom to take action when and where he wants is rare -- and women find this kind of "bold" guy VERY attractive.

be a man
All women want to share their lives with a real man. So how does a woman know when she's in the presence of one? Well, a real man knows how to stay comfortable and confident around beautiful women. In addition, he’s also very relaxed around powerful, high-status people, like his boss. He is not intimidated by competition from other men and actually welcomes them.
what you can do
Try and work on your cool quotient. A very simple way of doing this is to develop that nothing- to lose attitude Don’t get intimidated by high-profile people. Be respectful but not subservient. If there is anything that you disagree with voice your opinion. This will go a long way in helping in bringing out the man in you. By incorporating all the above mentioned tips in your daily life, getting the chick of your choice will become the easiest thing in the world. As the saying goes “Change your Vision and the world will change around you.”

Why One-Sided Love is the Best Thing to Happen to You

So, you love a woman you know you're never going to get. You lucky man! You may feel terrible knowing that dating the girl you love is a far-fetched dream, but tell you what, it is far better than seeing the flipside. This Valentine's , we at The Day You Became Mine, celebrate one-sided love as the coolest form of the emotion ever. We hope you know how much other committed men are jealous of you. Don't believe us? Read on to know why being a one-sided lover is the best thing to happen to you.

You Save Time, Money And Effort

You don't need to buy gifts for anyone. No greeting cards on birthdays, no movie dates and no diamonds! Neither do you have the excessive pressure of planning mind blowing dates with her that she can later boast about in front of her BFFs.

You Don't Have To Meet Anybody's Expectations

You live life on your own terms. The toilet seat can stay up all its life. Nobody is going to complain if you do not call them every night before sleeping. You are never under the pressure to being the perfect boyfriend.

You Understand Love Better Than Anyone Else

You're sensitive because you've seen the difficult side of being in love. If you've been strong enough to sail through the hard times of trying to get it all together, you understand love far more maturely than any of the guys around. You're soon going to find a girl who loves you back and you're going to be the most awesome boyfriend ever.

You Have One Distraction Less

Relationships are messy and distracting, and mostly not in a good way. The reason why you've held your sanity and are succeeding the way you are is because you've saved yourself from the hassles of being in a relationship. Even though you may spend a lot of time thinking about the woman you love, you have a better chance to concentrate all your energy and time into becoming the man you've always aspired to be. And you know how women dig successful men.

You're Still Available

Falling in love is easy. Falling out of it, easier. You're single and very much open to newer options. In case you find a better woman, there is no stopping you from pursuing her, unlike your best buddy who is stuck with the girl he doesn't even love for at least some time ahead.

You're Allowed To Hook Up

You hold the liberty to hook up with any hot girl you meet without having to lie to a girlfriend. Do you understand how big a privilege that is? Most men would kill for this one benefit. You can be very much in love with one girl and in bed with a lot of others.

You Don't Get To Face A Nagging Girlfriend

No bickering, no nagging. You live a peaceful life, just the way every man desires to. You don't have to listen to a girl cribbing about how her nail got chipped, how she cannot find the perfect dress to wear and everything else.

You Don't Have To Face Fights

When you fall in love with a person, you notice all the good things in them. You should be glad you'd always be on that stage and never get to know of her annoying habits . You won't have frequent fights that spoil your day and you won't have to deal with break ups!

You Are The Most Desirable Man

Do you know what appeals to women the most? A man deeply in love. Because the world can see how much in love you are with a certain girl, you will always appear as the quintessential love to other women. You have the quality that most women hunt for in their men.

You Don't Have To Divide Your Time Between Your Friends And A Girlfriend

Do you know how difficult it is for most men to managed their friends and girlfriend's at the same time? You will never be the guy who loses touch with his friends because of a wicked girlfriend and your buddies already love you for it.

4 Things Women want in Bed but are Afraidto Ask

Fellas, it's quite important that you communicate with your partner about what she wants or needs in the bedroom, because chances are, you don't even have any clue. We hear you which is why we're here to give a sneak-peak inside her brain. Yes, the cat is out of the bag, quite literally!
1) Aggressive and Rough Sex
We are saying no-holds-barred, rough, occasional spanking, hair pulling and have-to-have-you- now-can't-wait sex. Women are often apprehensive about asking for it because we all have been socially conditioned into believing that rough sex is degrading for women. We are not saying you to go home and smack your bitch up, but a little roughing in your bedroom can work wonders for your sex life.
2) An X-Rated Sex Life
Most women want to be, for lack of a better word, a little slutty in the bedroom. She is tired of being that precious elegant lady who makes love all the time. All thanks to the popularity of fifty shades of grey and other erotic fictions, kinky is the new sexy. Their only fear is that if they behave in this manner, their men will think less of them. More importantly, they'll begin treating them the same outside the bedroom.
3) A Dominant Man Who Loves Giving Her Oral
You already know that plenty of women are keen on going down on their men, mostly because they are secretly hoping of reciprocation. They love a man who's immensely confident of where and what he is doing. They love all the kinds of dominant behavior in the bedroom. Oh and noise too! They secretly want to hear you making pleasant noises.
4) Dirty Talk
That's right, they are not asking for a cuss or two but downright nasty talk. Most women need to be mentally stimulated as well, and dirty talk helps to activate the fantasy playing out in their minds. Tame bedroom antics are a passé, be colorful in what you do and say to her while doing the deed. I'm sure we don't have to tell you what to say without being censored, put your imagination to good use.

Why It's Okay To Be In Love With More Than One Person

Before we delve deeper into the subject of questioning or judging whether it is okay to be in love with more than one person at a time, let us understand a simple thing.

Well, what exactly is love?
Out of the millions of definitions that each one of us can come up with, one that hold good in every case is the need for freedom. You must love in a way that the person you love feels free. Love is meant to heal, not leave you hurting. It is the emotional need for the other person’s well- being, so much so that it gets linked to your own well-being. But the question remains;
What if we want the well-being of more than one person?
What if we want more than just one person to be free—in every way?

We embrace the idea of being with one person, partially and exclusively, because of two very important factors: firstly, romantic love requires a lot of energy and resources, and it is difficult to gather enough for more than one person. Secondly, our social structure labels this as blasphemy in most cases. Hence, we end up thinking that we are shortchanging either of them.

However, the idea that “if you truly love someone you will not be drawn to others” or there’s only one soulmate is not part of real life. Romantic love begins with attraction—not just in terms of looks, but more so in terms of characteristics of a person. It is very rare that we find that one person with every significant trait that we have always dreamt of in our partner. In cases more than one, we end up liking different set of characteristics in two people. And that’s when both the loves become complementary instead of contradictory.

In an ideal situation, love can never be once in a lifetime experience. You fall in love with different people in different ways at different stages of your life. As long as you make sure that it doesn’t emotionally torment or confuse you, you are good to go. You will go through unique experiences from both sides that come together at once. But this comes with its own unique experience again. While most of us tend to fall for more than just one person at some point in time, we get uncomfortable with the idea of sharing our partners. The idea of sexual and emotional exclusivity is far stronger when the person in question is our partner.

Such kind of emotional dissonance results in moral judgements too, which result in terms such as betrayal and adultery.

So, what do you do when you’re in love with two people? The answer is pretty much subjective. Follow your heart, but don’t neglect your head. Here, we aren’t trying to justify infidelity, but we stated a few facts to believe that you can be in love with more than one person. Love is complicated, and being in love with two people means double the complication. But then, the matters of the heart are complicated. The best thing to do would to be to step back, understand the situation and then decide where is it that you wish to commit.

Reasons why your Relationship might be Doomed

Any new relationship comes with the initial rush and happiness of being with someone and of having found oneself a companion. Yes, a new relationship brings along with it the promise of love and joy, but things might not always be as rosy as you’d have pictured them to be. Sometimes, relationships are doomed well before or soon after they take off. In some cases, the relationship might go downhill after having spent a couple of blissful years together.

Here are a few signs that point to the impending failure of your relationship.

1. One is smarter than the other

The chances of the relationship failing are higher and almost guaranteed if one partner is smarter than the other. In such cases there will be little to talk about after a point and even if you’ll do communicate, there will be this nagging voice in your head who says, ‘she/he is not smart enough to understand what I’m saying’.

2. Immaturity

This one catches up quicker than you can say ‘immature’! Things that you find ‘cute’ and ‘kiddishly sweet’ at one point, will soon begin to feel immature and stupid. The thing about puerile behaviour is that it wears the relationship out much soon and is responsible for taking the fizz out of the bond.

3. Jealousy

The relationship simply won’t last if either or both of you are jealous of one another. The green-eyed monster will wreck havoc on the relationship and be the reason behind its doom.

4. You want different things

This one is perhaps one of the most common reasons behind break-ups. Nothing can save the relationship if both the partners involved want different things from life. And given that the wants are not the same, it does make perfect sense to call off the relationship.

5. Lack of intimacy/attraction

If sparks don’t fly in the bedroom then the relationship is sure to hit rock bottom sooner than later. Also, what’s the point of being in a relationship with someone you’re not attracted to?

6. Too close/too detached from the parents

Being uncomfortably close or ruthlessly detached from parents is never a good thing. If your partner falls in either of these categories, then beware. The relationship will get affected in some way due to the troubled relationship she shares with her parents.

7. Fights

Fights are an obvious part of any/all relationships. But when the fighting gets too much, too often then there is trouble in paradise (or war zone, if you may so call it). Fighting often will cause your stress levels to go up and will certainly harm the relationship, thus signalling its end.

Little Things that Count in Relationship

Ask any man who has been in a relationship and he is sure to tell you that more than the expensive dates and costly gifts , the small gestures and little things made all the difference. To sustain any relationship you don’t need a pocket full of money. What you need is a heart full of love and a brain filled with ideas to woo and be good to her. Keeping this notion in mind, here is the low-down of all the little things that count in a relationship.

1. A good-morning / good-night text

You can make your girl’s day by sending her a lovie-dovie ‘good morning’ text. Nothing makes a girl happier than waking up to a lovely message that wishes her a great day ahead. In case you missed the opportunity to text her in the morning, don’t worry. Send her a good night text and make sure to tuck her in and kiss her good night. She will sleep with the biggest smile on her face and will surely dream of you all night.

2. Drop her home safely

When I make the above point I don't expect you to become her personal chauffeur. What you are expected to be is gentleman who drops his girl home after a date or at least offers to do so. This in no way suggests she cannot go alone, or that you alone can protect her. Simply put, it is a kind and chivalrous thing to do and so you must do it.

3. Be her confidante

One of the most precious facets of a relationship is the ability to share and talk random stuff. Listen and accept your partner’s secrets (be it the heavy and serious ones or the outright dumb and funny ones) and become her confidante. In turn, do make it a point to share yours. By doing so, you will open up the channel of communication and facilitate free-talk and the fostering of trust.

4. Remember dates

Women have a huge problem with a man’s inability to remember dates. You must avoid pissing her off by making an attempt to remember the dates that matter. Store them in your phone calendar or stick post its on your office desk if you must, but do not forget important dates!

5. Share your ambitions

Opening up to your girl and letting her in on your ambitions and career plans makes her feel needed and important. So don’t shy away from discussing work with her. Ask her for suggestions and inputs and she might just surprise you with her ability to solve your work related problems.

7 Things Men can't Tolerate

Men are usually much unperturbed with what goes around them. We like to keep life simple. However, there are certain things that just make us pull our hair out. We wish we could know better than punching the wall in such situations.

Here are 7 things that are simply intolerable to men.

Arguments

Women never understand this. Men believe in facts and figures, but more often than not, arguments reach to a level much beyond logical explanation. We like to follow a simple process of finding the best possible solution to the given problem. When women sensationalize issues by incessantly ranting, it annoys us to the core.

Unsuccessful Career

Men are ambitious. Chasing dreams is a passion for us. Every man wants to make it big. This is the age when you start working towards the ultimate dream. But it kills us to see the path leading nowhere. Nothing displeases a man more than the thought of doing something he hates for the rest of life or being unable to achieve the desired.

Someone Constantly Talking

Honestly, men cannot stand too much talking. To the point, crisp and intelligent is how we understand conversations to be. A woman constantly yapping in our ears only makes us want to shut her with a mouth guard, a really tight one.

Dishonesty

No man can tolerate dishonesty. A man invests his trust in people closest to him. Once shattered, it takes a man a very long time to rebuild that trust. Straightforward is how men like their relations to be. Lies and deceits are completely intolerable, especially coming from close friends and family.

Infidelity

Men fear commitment, which is why infidelity is a total deal-breaker. When a man commits, it means he trusts the other person and loves her with all his heart. Breaking that trust means causing damage to our pride and honour.

Repeating

Men hate repeating things. The sad part is that women never seem to understand things in one go. Saying the same thing again and again drives us crazy.

An Unfit Body

We worship our bodies. The importance of physical fitness is well known to men and that is precisely why, unfit bodies turn men off. It pains us to see someone not realizing one’s own potential in terms of fitness.
