What A Man Wants …If you shouted out sex as the answer, you’re not completely wrong, but you are not completely right, either. Some gurus out there will mention how men want respect. There is some truth there. There’s just one problem with respect: It’s not tangible (and I’m not sure we could agree on whether respect will look the same for every man receiving it or every woman giving it.) So, I present to you a different solution. One that is tangible. One that is identifiable. One that will allow you ladies to build an unbelievable bond with the man in your life. The best part is, it is not something that takes all that much time or effort. It will leave the guy in your life feeling like you have his back. It will build an almost unbreakable bond. I certainly cannot guarantee that you will never separate, but this one act will lead your man to want to move the entire world for you. It’s simple and you can find multiple ways in which to incorporate it into your everyday relationship.
Are you ready for this earth-shattering bit of life-changing information? Here it is: GET INTO THE TRENCHES WITH US! That’s right. Do shit with us. Not just the things you want to do. The things we want to do.Let me illustrate with a personal story: I have a couple of buddies that I graduated high school with.(I mean, who doesn’t have those buddies?) The amazing thing about these buddies is that I can go years, literally years, without speaking to them and then pick up our last conversation like we have been apart for only days…and we can talk for hours because we are curious about what has gone on in each other’s lives. That bond comes roaring back. Why? Because we were in the trenches together- like doing two and three football practices in a single day for a week straight-strike bonds of steel that last a lifetime, in a heat index of 110. Many of you ladies will not, and have not, experienced coaches calling you female body parts for wanting another water break when you just had one an hour ago. Another 100-yard sprint because those same coaches, that called you names, decide done person wasn’t giving a hundred percent effort. And then there are Tip drills. Cone drills. Two on one. They made you want to quit. And I suppose that is the point. But we didn’t. I can depend on those guys today just as I did then. Ladies, don’t get me wrong. I am not suggesting you and your man put on some pads and go do some tackle drills in the backyard but if you want to change the state of your relationship in the next six months into something you have never imagined then do these very simple things. Stop telling your man his jeep side project is a stupid waste of time and money. Work on it with him. Go play tennis with him. Hiking. Fishing. Dancing. Cooking class. For all that is holy just do something with us. Suffer with us. Bleed with us. Dig the loyal trench with us (metaphorically speaking of course). And when you do this, that man, in return, will die for you.
