Surviving Women --- A Mans Guide And Vale Paul Walker

Without Prejudice

Vale Paul Walker, died in a car crash in California. So sad today for his daughter, family, friends fans. His memory will live on in all his movies. And although he was but a passenger in a speeding car, I hope every teen boy that was a fan of his movies, or not, sees that terrible crash in his mind and SLOWS DOWN.

I remember one man in the past commented,

" If you think I drive fast when you are in the car,
you should see how fast I go when you are not "

On to more pleasant things........


K.M. Knowles, a man, has brought out a book called How To Survive Women---A Mans
Guide.

Here is an excerpt.

KNOW a guy who is ruled by his wife? You're not alone.

How to Survive Women: A Man's Guide is a self-help book by Australian author K.M. Knowles for men looking to have a great relationship with their significant other, but can't seem to get it right no matter how hard they try.

"Dealing with women isn't rocket science," says Ms Knowles.

"It's simply a case of choosing the right mate and knowing what to do with her once you've got her.

"I wrote the book to serve as the ultimate go-to reference for any man who interacts with women. Consider it a toolbox filled with genius yet simple tools."

The underlying theme in the book is if a man doesn't have a voice in his relationship, he's not serving himself.

Many men these days feel 'ruled' by their partners says Ms Knowles. Her guide teaches men how to make their partner happy while still asserting themselves in the right way so that they have a voice as well.

Ms Knowles has put forward a seven step guide, designed for men who want to have a great relationship and judging by the reviews and sales so far, it's a hit!

Direct and simple in its language, the snappy tome explores the difference in communication between men and women.

For example, often men think their partner is asking for advice when they're really just venting and

the best thing to do is be her sounding board, not her advisory board.

"In this situation men just need to ask questions," said Ms Knowles.

"Just attempting to learn a bit more about her feelings will help develop a stronger long-term relationship."

Let's face it, when it comes to everyday life, women still remain a mystery to men so note this one down as a good Christmas stocking filler, ladies.

7 steps to surviving women:

1. Choose well - Don't date someone who hates your dog

2. Keep a good thing going - Remember listening gets you laid and n-e-v-e-r criticise

3. Dodge minefields - Sensitive topics such as communication, crazy questions, gift-giving and mothers

4. Fight fair - Remember the art of fighting comes down to three magic words: "Tell me more"

5. Do the work - Put in the hard yards for your relationship

6. Own up to your mistakes - Stop with the excuses and apologise right away

7. Stand up for yourself - No one should be walked all over

And For the Bachelors..

IF YOU clicked on this article, chances are you know deep down that you're guilty of a few bad bachelor habits.

It's time to sit yourself down and have an honest chat with bachelor-you, because he's ruining the chances for well-adjusted-adult-you to really emerge and assume his final form, where he shaves, and has a job, and generally isn't a layabout/vagabond who would eat cold pizza off the floor if given half a chance.  

This list may not be all-inclusive, but if you are guilty of any of these bad bachelor habits, it's certainly time to make a change. It may not be easy, but your journey towards being a passable adult that a grown woman wouldn't mind associating with starts here.

10. Keeping your dirty clothing in a pile

When you were in high school, you got a pass. When you were at uni, you got a pass. You're an adult now though, so you no longer get a pass. It's time to discover the wonderful invention that is the laundry hamper. Sure, as bachelors we often don't find the need to invest in such gaudy pursuits, but you've run out the clock and it's time to get with the program.

9. Playing video games all weekend

There's nothing wrong with playing games as a recreation. That's totally fine. What's a little less fine, though, is treating every weekend like a shower-less, pants-less, all-you-can-Dorito marathon. It's getting a bit old, and you're getting a bit old for it. We're not saying you can't have a weekend every now and then to relive the days when Modern Warfarewas still referred to as Call of Duty 4, but if it's every weekend, it may be time to sit yourself down and do the math on how much of your life this is taking up.

8. Using Febreze instead of cleaning

Ah, Febreze - the duct tape for your nose. While your late teens and maybe even early 20s were a time when you could simply cover odours with more (better) odours, eventually you have to actually start cleaning things - your clothes, your sheets, your entire apartment. You're not fooling anyone.

7. Treating hygiene like it's for special occasions

If you can look back on your day and say, "Hey, at least I took a shower", it might be time to revisit your bachelordom. Hygiene is a funny thing - when you're lacking in it, very few people are going to leap to tell you about it. But they'll certainly notice. And yes, that includes the women you're trying to talk to.

6. Not preparing your own meals

We left this one sort of vague to include all manner of lazy food habits. This includes frozen meals, semi-prepared meals, and yes, take-away. Because there's nothing that turns a girl on more than a room full of take-away containers, empty pizza boxes, and dirty dishes. Bite the bullet, start by figuring out one simple meal a week that you can cook yourself. Make it a habit, and pretty soon you'll actually be cooking for yourself on a regular basis.

5. Poor sleep habits

This is another one of those things that you can get away with when you're considerably younger, but once you start moving into adulthood your body will probably be the first to know that you're doing something wrong.

Sleep only becomes more critical to your mental and physical well being as you age, so it's time to make a change. Sleeping irregular hours, staying up way too late and sleeping well into the afternoon every weekend are all habits that you should probably start curbing as soon as possible.

4. Bad toilet etiquette

Bachelors are often responsible for the serial mistreatment of their toilets. Leaving the seat up, peeing on the seat, and not cleaning your toilet regularly are all signs of perpetual bachelordom. Do your future self a favour by curbing these bad habits now and rising to the glorious heights of near-cleanliness.

3. Wearing wrinkled clothing

This is another one of those things guys always think they can get away with for some reason or another. Just to clear a few things up for you: No, you can't. Yes, people notice. It's not necessarily a deal-breaker, but if you're interviewing for a job or trying to flirt with someone who cares about stuff like being seen with an adult, it could definitely tip the balance against you. Starting to genuinely care about how you present yourself is the first step to exiting the bachelor zone and potentially even attracting a woman.

2. Drinking from the container

Surely there is no truer sign of a bachelor than a man for whom glasses are too lofty a goal. You're already standing in the kitchen, the orange juice came in a container already, so why not, right? As ironclad as your logic may seem to you, this one just doesn't fly.

You're getting backwash into the juice, which means you're saying, "No one will ever come over to visit, and I definitely won't offer them anything to drink! Because I'm a bachelor!" to the whole world. Please, for the sake of our entire gender, stop it.

1. Bedroom wall posters

An extended bout of bachelor-hood tends to breed some rather bad qualities, and even worse decorating habits. You don't have to attend galas and purchase expensive art in order to turn your dwelling into a place that looks like an adult lives there. Just a little tiny bit of work will go a long way here, so make the effort.

Ditch the bedroom wall posters and find something a little less cliche to decorate your home with. Your guests will appreciate it.
