Why Men Love Bitches

You can get away with saying much more with

---

humor than you can with a straight face.
The man in your life watches you. He watches to see how you
stand your ground. He watches to see how you respond when he
teases you and when you receive criticism from him or someone
else. He’ll test the waters, because he wants to see how you fight
back. He wants to see if you can 
hold your own.
And while we’re on the subject of humor, let us now focus our
attentions on the word 
bitch.
If that fateful day ever does arrive
when he tells you that you are a bitch? Stop, and take a deep
breath. Then enjoy the moment. Smile internally as you say to
yourself, “Okay. Now I know he 
truly
does love me.”

The Bitch Stands Her Ground
The “new and improved” bitch is not a bad thing. She is a refined
version of the proverbial, “old” bitch. She’s not abrasive or mean,
nor does she nag to get what she wants. She speaks with her
actions, and she’s only a bitch when she 
has to be.
One of the most
telling signs that a woman “has arrived” is that she’s not obsessed
with pleasing a man, or anyone other than herself. Who is this “new
and improved bitch?” See the following definition:
Bitch
(noun): A woman who won’t bang her head against the
wall obsessing over someone else’s opinion— be it a man or
anyone else in her life. She understands that if someone does
not approve of her, it’s just one person’s opinion; therefore,
it’s of no real importance. She doesn’t try to live up to anyone
else’s standards— only her own. Because of this, she relates
to a man very differently.
The bitch also perceives 
herself
differently. She’ll get into the
“boxing ring,” so to speak, with the mindset that she’s an “equal
opponent” to a man. With a nice girl, a man automatically thinks of
himself as the “heavyweight” and of her as the “featherweight”
(a.k.a., the underdog). A confident woman who enters the ring and
doesn’t go down without a fight earns the respect of a man, even if
she loses. Why? Because then he knows she’s a woman with
heart.
If she goes down, she goes down swinging. And when they
step out of the ring, he can’t help but have more respect for her.
The bitch behaves in a way that a man understands. She speaks

to him in the same language he uses when he talks to his male
friends, which, again, lets him know she’s on a level playing field.
She is able to communicate without a lot of “gray area,” and she’s
forthright. Don’t think this matters? Take a peek at a side-by-side
