Alright, gentlemen, grab your coffee and settle into that comfy chair, because today, we’re diving into some timeless wisdom. No, it’s not about assembling IKEA furniture without losing your sanity – it’s about how to treat the wonderful woman in your life. Spoiler alert: Being a jerk isn’t on the list. So, without further ado, let’s explore the essential dos and don’ts for being the man she deserves.

1. Ignore her feelings

Your girlfriend is your best friend, confidant, and let’s face it, the better half of your dynamic duo. She isn’t a blank wall you can talk to whenever you feel like it. She’s a human being with thoughts and feelings that matter just as much as yours.

Relationships are two-way streets. It’s not always about you. Respect her opinions, listen intently, and never, ever ignore her feelings or discount them as irrational. Doing this will make your relationship much stronger and harmonious.

2. Cheat on her

Here’s a no-brainer: Never cheat on your lady love. You could count off every excuse in the book, but none will ever justify such a betrayal. Be responsible enough to secure yourself emotionally and physically before entering a relationship.

3. Hurt her heart

A true man never hurts his woman, whether it’s physically, emotionally, or mentally. He wouldn’t dare to lay a hand on her, say hurtful words, or play mean tricks with her feelings. Unfortunately, there are men who ignore this, but let’s aim higher, gentlemen. Don’t be one of them.

If you find yourself having a short temper during fights, practice patience. Count to ten, zip your lips, or ask for some personal time to cool off.

4. Lie to her face

Relationships are built on trust and transparency. Lies have no place in a durable love story. Never lie about the little things because once you start, it becomes easier to lie about bigger issues.

Mistakes happen, but if you’re constantly repeating them and issuing apologies like a broken record, it’s time for some introspection.

5. Be unsupportive

There’s no excuse for missing anniversary dinners, skipping birthday parties, or not picking up her calls. As her boyfriend, you’re her number one fan. When you commit to a relationship, you’re committing to being there during the important moments, no matter how mundane they might seem to you.

Hold her hand and make her feel important. Be her cheerleader, her rock, and her most ardent supporter.

6. Treat her as an option

While dating for fun is a thing, treating your girlfriend as just another option is plain wrong. If you’re in a committed relationship, she can’t be your fallback plan. You can’t meet other women and then return to her when those options fail.

Make her feel like she’s the only one, because if you truly care for her, that’s exactly what she should be.

7. Degrade her as a person

Degrading your girlfriend can come in many forms, and sometimes, people do this subconsciously. If you make fun of her dreams, nitpick her actions, or insult her personality, you’re degrading her.

Be mindful of your words and actions. Value her for who she is, and celebrate her for the unique person she makes your life better by being.

So, fellas, let’s aim to be not just good, but great partners. Your efforts won’t just make her happier; they’ll make you a better person too. Remember, chivalry isn’t dead – it’s just waiting to be revived!
