Ladies, If You Want To Keep Your Man…STOP Doing These Things!

Published on 26 May 2025 at 02:00

Ladies, our men love us deeply, but at the same time, they also tolerate us – sometimes, just barely! Let’s work on improving that. Here are the 13 things you absolutely need to STOP doing ASAP.

 

  • Over-analyzing what he says. Stop dissecting his emojis – if he liked your photo, he likes YOU! Plus, men are really not that complex. What they say is what they mean. Nothing more, nothing less.
  • Comparing yourself to his ex. Obsessing over his past = major turnoff. Of course he knows you're prettier, smarter, and overall better -- that's why he's not with her.
  • Bringing up YOUR ex all the time. Still talking about your ex? Time to move on...We know you were in the right that time with your ex, but your current man isn't going to see this as rehashing old pet peeves. He's going to think you still want your ex. Stop.
  • Constant reassurance seeking. Do you really need him to tell you you're pretty 24/7? It's not that he minds telling you, because no doubt he thinks you're gorgeous...it's just that fishing for compliments is, well, a bit desperate and pathetic. 
  • Being overly critical of him. Men are actually quite sensitive creatures and they need their ego boosted a bit. He is gonna find someone else to boost it while you're still complaining that he keeps his hair too long. 
  • Spying on him/obsessively snooping through his calls, texts, and emails. I know, trust me, I know. It's just in our nature. It doesn't mean anything, but he will take this as a huge shot to his ego and to his proficiency at taking care of his woman. If you don't trust him, why keep trying?! 
  • Nitpicking how he does something AFTER nagging at him to do that something. he may have done it wrong but at least he did it! Ladies, stop being his critic – be his partner! And for gods sake, if he does the things...be grateful!
  • Playing hard to get (too hard). He's chasing you because he likes you – not because he likes the chase...unless he does, in which case, I see you sister. Carry on. 
  • Talking only about yourself. He has opinions too – ask him about his day! He doesn't want to always talk about your best friends highlights that are so ugly throughout dinner. He wants to know that you care about him and what's going on in his life. If you don't show interest, he'll find some skeez who does! 
  • Putting yourself down. Stop putting yourself down – he loves you, flaws and all! Plus...have you ever been told something is sour tasting and when you taste it, it is! More than it normally is?! Don't tell him you're too fat! After time 101 he'll start believing it! 
  • Getting too clingy. Give him space – he'll come back to you because he wants to, not because he has to...I don't know about you all, but I feel immediately turned off (and suffocated) in the presence of clingy behavior. Well, men are like that. 
  • Being negative/complaining/nagging Nagging = instant mood killer. Nobody wants to be around a negative Nancy. You begin to feel negative after a while, and again, men are very simple creatures. You must be careful with that.
  • Playing head games (e.g., waiting to text back). You know exactly what I'm talking about, ladies, don't pretend you don't! That's another game lol. Most men past 25 are over the games, and you should be too! 


Now, ladies, if you can stop doing these 12 attraction killers, you'll be a lot better off with your men. From tolerated to adored - you're welcome, husbands everywhere 🙃 If you're anything like me, the attitude comes naturally. So remember, ladies, it's not just about what you say, but how you say it—listening actively, showing empathy, and making your partner feel truly heard can transform the dynamic of your relationship. Trust us, your man will notice the effort and respond in kind.
