Why Men Love Bitches

If you smother him, he’ll go into defense mode
and look for an escape route
to protect his freedom.

---

Don’t make him feel as though he has to ask permission for the
day-to-day things he wants to do. It’s smothering to him when you
watch him too closely. Don’t give him the feeling he’s 
under a
microscope.
He’ll feel controlled and will instantly want to get
away.
When he’s shaving and he’s late for work, don’t push your way
into the bathroom to watch him. Don’t look in his car’s glove
compartment as though there’s something suspicious in there. Don’t
appear to eavesdrop on his phone conversations. Don’t try to take
over his kitchen or leave girlie things in his bathroom as though
you’re marking your turf. Don’t ask him to spend all his time with
you, and don’t say. “I miss you” when he hasn’t seen you in two
hours. If you do these things, 
you are subtly doing the chasing.
Don’t say things like, “Tuck in your shirt,” “Go wash your
hands,” or “Go brush your hair.” Don’t ask him if he’s hungry three
times in a row, and don’t wait on him hand and foot—unless he has
a cold. (One little sniffle and you can treat it like a terminal illness.)
Don’t plan all of your weekends together so he has to ask
permission to go fishing. Let him catch a couple of fish. Otherwise,
he’ll start to break dates. Why? Because he’s acting like a
rebellious teenager who’s been given a curfew by mama. He’ll do it
deliberately so you don’t get used to 
dic-tating
how his time is
spent.
When you treat your time together as something he 
has
to do,
you’ve taken something that was a pleasure and made it a chore. If
you are nice, but you give of yourself with strings attached, the
demand for reciprocity will send him several steps backward.
Whenever you make him feel as though he 
has to
see you, it will

---

feel like work. When it’s 
not
an obligation to see you, the very
same thing will feel like pleasure.
