6 Important Things Men Should Be Very Careful With by succyreal(m): 3:10pm On Feb 21, 2015
Coming to think of, this are six most important things men should be very careful with when dealing with it.

1. Money.
Materialism, defined as valuing money
more than other things (e.g. friendship),
often leads people to be less happy; and
this is the prevalent conclusion across
most studies . They have
worse mental health and they are more
depressed. They have worse social
relationships. They have lower social
productivity, so they are less likely to
participate at social events and civic
organisations. They have lower attitudes
towards marriage and children. They have
less concern for the environment; they
might be more wasteful and less inclined
to recycle. They are more Machiavellian in
their outlook; more narcissistic. They
have less empathy and are less likely to
cooperate. So use money wisely.

2. Woman
Having or just being in the presence of attractive women make men do stupid things- or at least
take more risks, according to a study published in Social Psychological and Personality
Science .
According to researchers, testosterone levels increased in men when attractive women
were present. Since testosterone is a sex hormone, and has also been shown to play a
role in fight-or-flight responses and risk-taking behaviors, this result is not surprising. Is
anyone shocked to find that men subconsciously try and "be more manly" in front of
pretty females? This have also increase violence, misunderstanding, hatred and even ruin some lives as a result of involving a woman.

3.Drugs
Drug use can never be 100 per cent safe but it is not always as dangerous as many people think. The dangers of drug use depend
on drug, set and setting factors.
The drug bit is everything connected with the drug and how it is used. The set bit is everything connected with the person who is
using the drugs. The setting bit is about what the person is doing at the time, where they are, the environment they live in etc.
The basic principle is that drug dangers are the result of interactions between drug, set and setting

Drugs are not all the same. Different drugs have different dangers associated with them.
Some drugs (such as alcohol, heroin and tranquillisers) have a sedative effect which slow down the way the body and brain
function. They can have a numbing effect that produces drowsiness if a lot is taken. Other drugs (such as amphetamine, cocaine,
crack and ecstasy) have a stimulant effect giving a rush of energy and making people more alert. A third group of drugs (such as
LSD and magic mushrooms and to a lesser extent cannabis and ecstasy) have a hallucinogenic effect. This means they tend to
alter the way the user feels, sees, hears, tastes or smells.

Sedative drugs like alcohol and heroin can lead to fatal overdose if a lot is taken. They can also affect co-ordination making
accidents more likely. Use of sedatives can also lead to physical dependence and withdrawal symptoms while others drugs like
cannabis cannot.

Stimulant drugs can produce anxiety or panic attacks particularly if taken in large quantities. They can also be particularly
dangerous for people who have heart or blood pressure problems.

Hallucinogenic drugs sometimes produce very disturbing experiences and may lead to erratic or dangerous behaviour by the user,
especially if they are already unstable. And of course some drugs are legal to use and others are not. Being arrested and getting a
conviction can lead to all sorts of problems.

4. Alcoholism
We’ve all heard the advice that drinking in
moderation — a max of two drinks a day for men,
one for women — can be beneficial, especially for
your heart. But what’s lost in this message about
alcohol consumption is that going over that
amount, particularly if you’re binge drinking, can
be detrimental to your health. And alcoholism is
just the tip of the iceberg.
“Once use increases above this level, the health
risks associated with chronic alcohol outweigh the
benefits,” says David Sack, MD, CEO of Promises
Treatment Centers in Malibu, Calif., and a
substance-abuse specialist. “And in some
individuals, there may be strong reasons to
abstain altogether — ulcer disease, liver disease,
heart disease, or an emotional problem such as
anxiety or depression.”

5. Position of authority
The news abounds with stories of powerful men behaving badly. It’s a depressing yet
predictable spectacle — those in positions of power can’t help but help themselves to the help.
They scream at underlings and have sex with the secretaries; they assault hotel maids (or at
least are accused of such) and sleep with the nanny. The question, of course, is what
motivates this awful behavior? Why does power corrupt?
Psychologists refer to this as the paradox of power. The very traits that helped leaders
accumulate control in the first place all but disappear once they rise to power. Instead of
being polite, honest and outgoing, they become impulsive, reckless and rude. According to
psychologists, one of the main problems with authority is that it makes us less sympathetic to
the concerns and emotions of others. For instance, several studies have found that people in
positions of authority are more likely to rely on stereotypes and generalizations when judging
other people. They also spend much less time making eye contact, at least when a person
without power is talking.

6. Infatuation
infatuation is the state of being carried away
by an unreasoned passion or love. Hillman and
Phillips describe it as a desire to express the
libidinal attraction of addictive love.
Usually, one is inspired with an intense but short-lived
passion or admiration for someone.

Researchers says that infatuation can be distinguished from romantic love only when looking back on a particular interest. Infatuation may also
develop into a mature love. Goldstein and
Brandon describe infatuation as the first stage
of a relationship before developing into a
mature intimacy. Phillips describes how the
illusions of infatuations inevitably lead to
disappointment when learning the truth about
a lover.
so infatuation can ruin a man.
