Secrets Women Must Know
Just Because it Glitters Doesn’t Mean It’s Gold
Just because a man is good- looking, wears a shiny new suit, sports some Now and Later gators, drives a shiny new car, and profiles a new Rolex on his wrist does not mean he is a good man. As a matter of fact, that’s usually the joker who can’t rub two nickels together.
In my dating life, I experienced that the guy who had all the material things like the Rolex and the Mercedes were men who were so into themselves that it was impossible to have a real relationship. I found these men were confused emotionally whether they were a man or a woman (haha, not literally) but a real man does not care so much about material things. He definitely doesn’t want to act like a guy Paris Hilton! So I have made it a point after dating a couple of real men, to never even flirt with the idea of ever going out with another crazy materialistic guy again. Trust me ladies, it’s a NO!
Here is a list of some other Red Flags when dating and getting to know someone.
1. If your man is living in his mother’s house for more than a couple of months — I give a small grace period — RED FLAG.
2. If he drives an expensive car, but rents an apartment — RED FLAG.
3. If he is over accessorized RED FLAG.
4. If your man wears more than one ring per hand, more than one bracelet per wrist, and more than one necklace per neck — RED FLAG.
5. If he is always the one who’s overdressed for the occasion — RED FLAG.
6. If your man is constantly spending money on you without regard to price (i.e., clothes, trips, jewelry) and he can’t afford it — RED FLAG.
7. If your man constantly asks to “hold” some money or expect you to pay while on dates — RED FLAG.
8. If he approaches you with a flattering, yet rehearsed line — RED FLAG.
9. If he says he has a job but can’t articulate exactly what it is he does for a living— RED FLAG.
10. If he talks about himself more than inquiring about you — RED FLAG.

[...] Should the guy pay the bill? Being a woman and having all the insight with women, I can tell you guys that women are always turned off by a man who does not pay the bill. A woman will never feel romanced by a guy who does not pick up the bill. I had a personal experience before with a guy who just took me for a glass of wine and then had the nerve to say something to me about him paying for it. I basically dumped him on the spot. The truth is guys, most women are raised by fathers who teach her that if a man can not pay for your dinner nor wants to then he is not worth dating. I know that if I went out with a guy who did not provide and romance me in this way my dad would never approve of him, therefore there is no hope for relationship. [...]
