3 Great Mistakes Guys Make In Relationship by johnsmhelia15(m): 8:46am On Mar 24, 2016
Have You Been Making Any of These Mistakes in Your Relationship With Her? When a guy’s girlfriend says that he takes her for granted, he will usually first respond by denying it. He’s thinking, “But I love her more than anything. How can she even say that to me? Don’t I do nice things for her to show her how much she means to me? What is her problem?” Yet, if a woman is saying that her man is taking her for granted, there is going to be a real reason for it. Sure, she might be crazy and demanding way too much of her boyfriend, but in most cases it is legit and you need to pay attention, apologize, change, re-attract her and then get the relationship back on track. Here’s the thing… You are probably a really good guy with a good, kind, honest heart. Maybe you always remember her birthday, Valentine’s Day and any other special holiday and dates (like the day you met, or the first time you kissed, etc.). However, no matter how great she feels when you buy her gifts and spoil her on those days, it will mean nothing to her if the rest of the time you are behaving in a way that makes her feel unloved and unvalued. Consider this… Have you been behaving in any of the following ways?
1. Failing to notice her efforts to look good for you. Women know that to attract a man and keep him interested in them, they have to look good physically. It’s not enough for a woman to just be a nice person, because we men want to have a physically attractive woman. Just think about the women you masturbate to in porn – it’s pretty much all about the physical attraction you feel for how they look. Men are naturally attracted to how a woman looks, so a guy will often overlook a woman’s personality flaws (e.g. her not being very intelligent, not being very nice, etc) just to get her to have sex with him and begin a relationship. When in a relationship, a woman knows that she “caught” her man by looking good initially and if she feels lucky to be with him, she will continue to make every effort to KEEP looking good for him so that he will stay with her. However, if her guy stops noticing the efforts she is making to remain physically attractive for him, she will begin to feel unhappy and feel like he is taking her for granted. This applies even if your girlfriend has put on some weight in the relationship, but still makes an effort to look as pretty and appealing as she can in other ways (e.g. applying make up, wearing new clothes, etc). So, ask yourself… Have you being failing to notice when your girlfriend is wearing a new outfit to impress you? Do you assume that she’s just doing it for nothing, rather than hoping to get a, “Wow baby… you look hot” reaction from you? Have you ever brushed her off when she asked you for an opinion on what to wear by saying, “I don’t care. Whatever you decide is fine with me babe.” This may seem fine to you because you may not care too much about fashion or looking good, but it means a lot to her because she knows that a woman’s physical appearance is the most attractive thing to a man. You might think that your girlfriend looks great no matter what she wears, but not taking the time to pay attention to things that matter to her will cause her to question whether you actually care about her at all. It may sound so trivial to you (don’t worry, I get that. I’m a man too), but it’s important to her. If you ignore her efforts often enough, she will feel like you are taking whatever she does to please you for granted. She will then begin to feel unhappy and may start being annoying, distant or begin to nag you about random things just to make you feel bad too.
2. Putting her in second place in your life. As you go through life, plans can and do change. Your girlfriend would be unreasonable if she got mad and said you were taking her for granted, if you only had to suddenly change your plans with her once or twice at the last minute. However, if it’s an ongoing habit of yours, where you make plans to do something that she really wants to do with you, only to call her up at the last minute to cancel because you have to work late, or you got caught up with some friends, or your mom wanted you to go over for dinner, etc., she will naturally begin to feel second best in your life and that the only time you make available for her, is when it’s convenient for you.
3. Not pulling your weight in the home or the relationship. In a relationship, you need to be the man and be the more dominant one, otherwise your woman will lose respect and attraction for you over time. Being the more dominant one doesn’t mean that your girlfriend is less important, less intelligent, doesn’t have a say in the decision-making, or has to get stuck with doing everything around the home. If she is always the one doing the cooking, cleaning and other housework, or, if she’s always the one changing her plans to suit you, or running errands for you while you never do the same for her, she will naturally feel like you’re using her. Her opinions, needs and wants are just as important as your own because she is a living, breathing human being who deserves respect and love just as much as you do.
