Men--what advice would you give younger females (sisters, daughters) about men?

Question

Women...same thing. What advice would you give young boys (brothers, sons) about women?

That's what you'd teach your daughter? That without men there'd be no world? Yes, men work with women to propagate the species. You got anything beyond that?

Ronnie...who is this person you know? I won't jump to assuming it's me.

Wow...Bijou and Kendrick. Thanks for the amazing words! Really nice poem and quotation.

Answer 1

I don't have a sister so this is for a daughter if I ever have one.

I would tell her being nice and to to men will get her a long way and to not hit boys unless it's in self-defense, not just because they're being jerks.

I would tell her if she has a problem with a guy, to tell me or a teacher about it.

I would tell that it's possible that there may be a time where a man does something really bad against her, and if this happens, to not let her influence her view of men, that everyone, whether male or female, has something bad happen to them by someone else in their lifetime. It could even have been a woman doing that bad thing to her. And she should tell me about it and report it to the police.

I would tell her to do what she wants to do, to not let what other think influence her judgment. She should do what she likes in life.

I would tell her to wait until she is ready before having sex, to not do it simply because her boyfriend wants to. If he doesn't understand she doesn't want to, then he's not worth it.

I would tell her to make sure the man she is planning on having children with knows her views about abortion. To make sure she tells him she plans on keeping/aborting the kid and to stick with her decision unless her decision will harm her. To make sure the man is faithful, would not run away if she got pregnant, or cheat on her (aka don't think with your vagina).

I guess most of these could be switched around for women too.

Answer 2

I understand your concern. My advise is that you allow her to be a cheerleader. If this is something she wants, she will end up resenting you possibly her entire life over it given the personality you described. I would also like to say that it is likely the white boys and the black boys are equally hormonal at ... well just about any age. Teach her good morals and help her understand why it is best for her to stay pure. I would be a presence at all cheer activities and be a hands on mom. Most boys will notice you are around and treat her with the respect she and the other girls deserve. You cannot always protect her and she will be ogled all her life by others who lack of self control. If there is a grown man (or woman) who touches any child, the police and school authorities should be notified immediately.

Answer 4

I would say: The most important thing in choosing a boyfriend is whether or not he is a kind, good person. Trust your instincts on this. You may love him, but if you aren't 100% certain that he is a good person, it's not worth it. Also, never date a guy who's rude to the waitress. I suppose that's sort of a corrolary to the first rule.

I would also tell her to decide for herself what she wants in a relationship early on, so she can communicate this before she hops into bed with a guy, and also to be upfront and honest about her views on birth control and abortion. Also, just say no to sex with pro-lifers, unless he's into celibacy before marriage. Otherwise, he's probably too arrogant or has other issues.

Answer 5

1.She/he needs to know her/his mind and heart and follow them. Don't ever change your colors for anyone, they simply don't deserve the sacrifice.

2. Travel through life with a smile: enjoy it.

3. Learn to listen to others: you can always find out something interesting from a talkative stranger.

4. Keep and open mind and heart: don't judge others too harshly. Live and let live.

5. Don't lose your sleep over impossible dreams: learn from your mistakes.

6. Work hard and enjoy what you do.

7. Surround yourself with positive thinkers.

8. Try not to hurt too many people on your way.

9. Let people who love you know how important they are to you.

Answer 6

I don't really give gender specific advice to my boys. Other than pointing out things like boobs are just boobs, a body is just a body part and not to disrespect women based on looks.

Our life philososphy and what we teach our children is easily translated:

Desiderata

Go placidly amid the noise and haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible without surrender
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others,
even the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story.

Avoid loud and aggressive persons,
they are vexations to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain and bitter;
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.


Keep interested in your own career, however humble;
it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs;
for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals;
and everywhere life is full of heroism.


Be yourself.
Especially, do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love;
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment
it is as perennial as the grass.


Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself.


You are a child of the universe,
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.


Therefore be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him to be,
and whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.


With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful.
Strive to be happy.

Answer 7

Make sure that he is a nice person. You can not judge him by how he treat you because of course he will be nice to you at first because he want something from you. You have to take time and observe how he treat other people around him, people that have nothing to offer him.

Answer 8

My son has been raised in a balanced household where everyone gets to express their need for autonomy and personal power. The only specific advice I have given my 18-year-old son is that he needs to be responsible to provide his own birth control and not to put it on the woman as her sole responsibility. I am sure I have given him a lot of indirect advice just through living. I believe it's true that a woman should judge a man by how he treats his mother. He is kind and respectful to me. One day, he is going to make a fine husband.

Most of my son's relationship advice has come from his stepfather, who treats me like a lady, so I know he has given him good advice.

Answer 9

If you remember these words..you'll have men figured out...
we are driven by two things..our stomach and our...***** (i think you can guess the word). Appeal to both or either one and you'll get what you want without a fight...That's it..the eternal truth about men...Good luck

Answer 10

~ Life and Love is about finding the beauty in
imperfections ~
~ A man is not where he is, but where he loves ~

~ I want you to get swept away
I want you to levitate
I want you to sing with rapture
And dance like a dervish.
Be deliriously happy
Or at least leave yourself open to be.

Love is passion, obsession,
Someone you can't live without...

Fall head over heals…
Find someone u can love like crazy
And who will love you the same way back.

And once you find them
Then forget your head & listen to your heart…

The truth is
There is no sense living without this,
To make the journey and not fall DEEPLY in love,
Then you haven't lived a life at all,
But you have to try,
Because if you haven’t tried you haven’t lived.

Stay open,
Who knows
LIGHTNING COULD STRIKE
