Ladies, real men do exist \u2013 and not those poor excuses you\u2019re used to dating either. There are fully grown-ass men in this world and they would love to be with you.<\/p>\n
The truth is that you don\u2019t have to settle for whatever boy comes your way. In fact, you shouldn\u2019t settle; you\u2019re doing yourself a real injustice. If you\u2019re going to be with a man then be with a grown-ass man. Simply put, they\u2019re better for you. They\u2019re more fun. They\u2019re more reliable. And they\u2019re better in bed.<\/p>\n
There really is no reason to date the schmucks you\u2019ve been dating. Although, to be fair, it can be hard to tell the difference \u2013 especially at first glance. But with time, it\u2019s easy to separate the men from the boys. In case you need a little extra help, here\u2019s a checklist for you:<\/p>\n
1. His apartment looks like an apartment.
\nNot a frat house. Not a zoo. Not a garbage dump, but an actual apartment. He doesn\u2019t necessarily have to have his own place. Nor does it need to be extravagantly furnished, but you should be able to distinguish the floor from the rest of the place.<\/p>\n
Grown men take pride in surrounding themselves with an environment that supports an active and healthy lifestyle. If he\u2019s too lazy to keep his place clean then he\u2019s definitely too lazy for the more important things in life.<\/p>\n
2. He does what he does because he loves to do it \u2013 he\u2019s more than capable of motivating himself.
\nThis isn\u2019t to say that a guy working at McDonald\u2019s isn\u2019t a grown-ass man. Unless, of course, that\u2019s where he plans on staying. It\u2019s really all about the plan. Grown men have plans to get themselves from point A to point B. More importantly still, they are driven to do so.<\/p>\n
3. He doesn\u2019t ever need a babysitter.
\nNo matter how drunk he is, no matter the situation… if your man is able to take care of himself and get his sh*t done, then he\u2019s a grown man.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re dating a guy who needs you to carry him home after a night out or to keep a leash on him so he doesn\u2019t go off an do something stupid, then I think you know the kind of guy you\u2019re dating.<\/p>\n
4. When he has a problem, he speaks his mind \u2013 and does so calmly and respectively.
\nYou see, grown men don\u2019t just go about agreeing with everything their women say. They have a mind of their own and they\u2019re more than happy to speak their opinions. However, they do so respectfully and are always open to hearing your thoughts on the matter.<\/p>\n
5. He has his priorities straight \u2013 and you know you\u2019re most definitely one of them.
\nGuys who are lost in life aren\u2019t much more than boys. Men have direction. Boys have playtime. If your man knows what he wants out of life and gives all those things that are most important to him attention and care, then you have yourself a winner.<\/p>\n
6. He takes care of himself \u2013 body and mind.
\nHis body is his temple and his mind is his high-priest. He lives by his own religion \u2013 his own philosophies. He understands that in order to feel good, you have to feel healthy. He\u2019s a well-oiled machine, inside and out.<\/p>\n
7. He supports you and your dreams, always encouraging you and keeping things positive.
\nIt\u2019s the men who tell you that you can\u2019t do something, that you can\u2019t accomplish something, who are poisonous. Grown men don\u2019t like to use the word “can\u2019t,” especially when it comes to the women they love.<\/p>\n
8. He doesn\u2019t complain because he knows complaining doesn\u2019t yield results.
\nHe puts his nose to the grind and produces results. Bitching is for bitches. He\u2019s a grown-ass man.<\/p>\n
9. He makes decisions, but is more than comfortable with allowing you to take the wheel.
\nThere is never a need to have one of those pointless \u201cwhat do you want to do?\u201d, \u201cI don\u2019t know, whatever you want to do\u201d conversations. If you ask him what he wants to do, he gives you options, not a question or a volley in response.<\/p>\n
10. When he has you alone, he isn\u2019t interested in anything other than you.<\/p>\n
He’s not concerned with the show on TV, the music on the radio or anything other than getting you undressed. He\u2019s a man, an animal. And he is more than keen to let the animal out to play.<\/p>\n
11. He admits that he is wrong when he is wrong.
\nHe doesn\u2019t point fingers or try to maneuver out of the situation. He understands that being wrong is part of human nature. There\u2019s no shame in it. He understands that you can\u2019t learn if you can\u2019t admit you\u2019re wrong.<\/p>\n
12. He knows your value and appreciates you for you.
\nHe doesn’t just tell you he loves you \u2013 he shows you he loves you. To him, you are a part of his life. You are an extension of him.<\/p>\n
He cares about you and knows that words fall short of the emotions he feels for you. He\u2019s not shy to show you he loves you because you are one of the most important aspects of his life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
