....To Be Concluded

"...talk respect. Some guys don't respect the relationship or their girl. Why is that??"

So I wrote in my last post (a lot) that I would continue to talk about a woman's choice of the men she chooses to keep. @ChanayDawnn's question deals with this subject a lot...probably in more ways than most people are aware of.

I don't know if this is a real saying, but it should be. Respect is not given, it's earned. And can't be earned until it's taught." There are quite a number of women out there who enter crappy relationships with a man who has no respect for them. They don't respect you because you never gave them respect, OR he was never taught how to give such a gift. Now if he was never taught to give respect, you're out of luck. Don't look for this guy to show you something he's never seen in himself! But on the other hand, women, don't go around dogging men in every conversation with him. Don't go around dogging him, slandering his name...and then have the nerve to be surprised when he lays hands on you! I'm not excusing men's reasoning for domestic violence, but don't go around provoking it either....you've been warned. (Kanye Shrug)

Ladies, (this is me giving advice now) this is when the art of dating really comes into play. Dating is our way to audition and interview each other for compatibility. If you notice something that you feel you can't help change (and I say the word "help" very strongly) or you can't tolerate, move along. Don't stick around because he has a cute face, got money or whatever the case is...because you're only going to get hurt in the end. Know what kind of relationship you're looking for in the person and why you are with this guy. Dating helps with this. And dating lasts more than two weeks!
