This is hard to answer because I wouldn't go out of my way to "keep" a man. There are just certain things that come with a relationship that you should WANT to do if your feelings are genuine. I don't really do much that I wouldn't want done to me and I do that across the board rather it be a boyfriend, friend, my mom, etc.

I cook for myself and my family so dude would just be another person getting a plate. If he felt special then so be it.

Just curious, why would you want your man to be "just another person getting a plate?" You wouldn't go out of your way to cook for him if that's what he liked?

Notice how I was spot on about her being single doe






I'm sure :flabbynsick: is your reality and you're trying to put that off on me. No thank you. No need to be bitter like I said I'm the one choosing. I am single, broke up with my ex because he wasn't doing enough with his life. :yeshrug:

Single: Check
Conceited: check
Blame the break up on the dude: check

Typical bird.

So let's see. You do the choosing. You want to be the bread winner. Women really are on their "I'm going to think like a man" steeze these days. What purpose would your man even have?

No, I want a man go an bring as much if not more to the table. I think it's funny, men always say all women can offer is p*ssy but when a woman has more then she wants to be a man. Can't win, huh?

I've been on Twitter lately and I see a lot of "I know my worth" posts and "If you can't take me at my worse then you don't deserve me at my best" coming from women on my timeline.

One chick (a friend of mine) posted something about how she felt that she "deserved" an athlete, lawyer, or doctor with money.

-She's in her 30's.
-She's not in great shape and isn't particularly attractive.
-She's VERY conservative (a virgin), not very witty and most basic humor goes over her head. When she used to go out w/ me, my ex, and my boys... I'd throw out low-key jokes about how she was going to get smashed that night and EVERYONE would catch them except for her)

I replied back "What makes you so marketable?" :skip:

She asked me if I was taking a shot (which I denied), but she never answered with what her great man-keeping qualities were.

My ex just told me that another friend of hers is dating a cage fighter now and so she's starting to work out. Before, she was dating this obese guy. I knew him personally and dude was cool but he was REALLY :flabbynsick: He used to go as far as claiming that he didn't eat vegetables. :why:

According to my ex, this chick gained a LOT of weight while dating this guy and apparently, she was much more attractive and in much better shape before that. :smh:

Not the first time I've heard this though. I have a lot of female friends who kind of just fall into a complacent lifestyle once they have a boyfriend. Once they're in a relationship, they kind of just...coast and when it's over, they don't snap back until the next relationship.

Anyway, for the ladies in the Coli with boyfriends or husbands, what would YOU say is the BLUEPRINT for keeping a man once you have one because I'm starting to believe that most chicks that complain about wanting a relationship have NO idea how to keep one once they have it. :beli:

...and for the guys, feel free to chime in with what you think it takes for a chick to keep you interested/invested in a relationship.

I wouldn't call her delusional, just has a hard time adjusting. When you were something and you are not that anymore, well s**t happens.

I'm a trollop because I'm not suckin dikk and baking cookies? Enlighten me on how the system works, because how I see it women get married and taken care of by their man, and once they get tired of the penis they divorce and get half of shyt they didn't even work for. Lol

Now me, I'm building towards a career so I'm gonna need someone to prove they're worthy of me. Wouldn't expect a loser to understand.

Whoa now, no need for name calling.....lets be respectful. :rambo:

You basically proved my point...even when the trollop decides to go wayward and divorce with intentions of swindling half of a mans money to seek her new found "independance"...even then her value is still based off of what a man has to offer. Noble jezebel, building that career isn't going to help the cocoa butter fade away the stretch marks. Don't be the rebel career woman who is single in her 40's and has a "traveling hobby" as a front to mask her lonely lack of a home life. :mjpls:

Why? I feel like my answer is going to lead to shade.

im not in the mood to shade...but i think your age is a big determining factor to your answer...young women...attractive young women...are very valuable to men...and if youre attractive...i think you know this. so right now...youre right you dont have to do anything to keep a man...

once you're in your mid 30s...i think your perspective will change. you'll be competing with women that are your age now...just looking good wont be enough

:aicmon: I'm not conceited I just know that I'm going somewhere. And I don't blame the break-up on him, I'm just not feeling being in college and working and seeing a grown man sit on his ass.

You're a loser though, trying to tell me about myself because I have self-worth.

Ultimately men don't care how much money women have because that's not what men are attracted to. Men are attracted to beautiful , feminine women. Be as wealthy as you want. I really don't have a beef with that. Plus you're attractive so you're on point in every area.

I actually agree with your philosophy. The women I have a beef with are the ones who want to make money and pick unestablished men so they can have a kept man that is subordinate to them.

No. If it's his birthday or something, then sure. He's free to make suggestions but he won't get anything separate than what I've already made on a regular day.

The better question is what a man would do to keep me? I'll remain the catch I am. I'm the one choosing and should be treated accordingly.

"To keep a man, you must offer more than looks, age and chastity. You must cultivate a pleasant personality. Optimism, cheerfulness and an upbeat outlook are key here. Men don’t want a pessimist, or a woman who complains and nags. Be kind, pleasant, optimistic and nondemanding. This is not to say that your needs are not important. They are. Just recognize that his needs are important too. Your wants and needs do not always come first.

Don’t be crass, rude, vulgar, profane, sarcastic or caustic. Don’t complain about his hobbies or interests. Men absolutely hate it when their women complain, grouse, or bother them about things. Men absolutely hate being around a pessimistic woman who can’t find anything good about her life, her circumstance, the people around her, or herself. Men do not like gossiping, sniping or sarcasm from women. Most of all, men absolutely do not want to be with women who act like, talk like or look like men."
