How to Spot a Real Man

The hunt for the perfect man is never-ending. We want the total package – good looks, humor, wealth, great sex, and intelligence. However, statistics show that many men are not what they seem on the outside. Many of them are just little boys in a grown man's body. Immaturity comes in all shapes and sizes. Trouble happens when we assume that the exterior of a man represents the interior character. So let's talk about how to spot a real man, what qualities make them different from little boys.

Real men prioritize their mental health and well-being.

Mental Health is often a topic that is rarely discussed in men, and some even consider it taboo. However, it is one of the greatest signs that a man is a real man. Real men prioritize their mental health by attending therapy sessions, taking breaks when overwhelmed and participate in activities that promote relaxation and self-care. They are not afraid to admit when things are becoming too much for them, and they are willing to take the necessary actions to restore their mental stability.

A Real man takes responsibility for his actions.

Immature men are often prone to making mistakes and are quick to blame others when things go wrong. On the other hand, a real man will take responsibility for his actions, make amends and learn from his mistakes. Whether it’s in his personal or professional life, he does not make excuses for himself when things go south. He readily admits when he's wrong and takes the necessary steps to make it right.

Real men have a clear vision and purpose for their lives.

A real man takes serious the direction of his life. He has set goals that he’s working towards, and he is not just settling. He’s driven, ambitious and has a clear perspective of what he wants to achieve in his life. He knows that his vision goes beyond what he can do for himself but also includes building something that will impact the people he loves and those around him.

Real men can communicate effectively.

Communication is an essential aspect of any relationship, and a real man knows that. Unlike little boys, real men are open to communicating effectively and transparently with their partners. They listen to understand, not to respond, and engage in conversations that further the development of the relationship. They respect their partner's point of view, communicate their own, and work together to find a middle ground and ultimately, a solution.

Real men value and prioritize their relationships.

A real man knows that the people in his life matter. He prioritizes his relationships and goes to lengths in maintaining quality ones. He demonstrates loyalty, respect, and kindness towards his loved ones, and exemplifies what it means to be a good friend. He invests time, effort and resources into strengthening his relationships and holds these bonds sacred.

Do not be fooled what a man wears, or what he drives. Little boys come dress nice and drive fancy cars too. You need to look beyond physical attributes and pay attention to the character of a man. A real man prioritizes his mental health, takes responsibility for his actions, has a clear vision and purpose for his life, communicates effectively and values his relationships. By knowing these qualities, you can know what to look for in identifying a real man and not waste time with someone who will leave you broke, heartbroken and unfulfilled. Take the time to establish if he is a genuine fit to prevent heartache and disillusionment over time.

How to Spot a Liar: Listen to the Details

Lying in a relationship is never a good sign. It shakes the foundation of trust, making it difficult for the relationship to move forward. If you've started to notice signs of dishonesty in your partner's behavior but can't pinpoint when they are lying, you're not alone. Fortunately, there's a simple solution to catch a liar red-handed. By paying attention to the details that led to your partner's complaints, you can see through their lies in no time. When you listen to your partner's complaints, you may notice the details they are telling you do not add up. For instance, if your partner says their ex is crazy, ask them to clarify the details that led to their ex's crazy behavior. If they struggle to answer or try to avoid the question, this may be a red flag to watch out for. When they do give you some details, note if they are consistent and reliable. Similarly, if your partner complains about being disrespected in their previous relationship, ask them

Do you often feel like you're with someone who is not truly committed to growing and evolving themselves? If so, then it's time to put an end to it. Ladies, stop recycling men! Recycling is when you take an old, outdated thing, and make a new use of it.

In this post, we'll explore why you deserve better and how to avoid the pitfalls of recycling men who are stuck in their old ways.

Why You Shouldn't Entertain Your Ex if You're Trying to Move On

Breaking up with someone is hard, especially if you had a strong connection with them. While it's important to move on after a breakup, some people don't seem to get the memo. They try to stay in touch with their exes, even though the relationship is over. But the question is, why do they do it? And more importantly, why shouldn't you entertain their efforts? It's a Delaying Tactic: Men who try to stay in touch with their exes are simply delaying the inevitable. They don't want to let go completely, so they keep themselves in the picture, hoping that their exes will eventually change their minds. This tactic can delay the healing process for both parties involved, and it's not fair to either of them. The sooner you cut ties with your ex, the faster you can move on with your life. It Shows a Lack of Respect: Men who try to stay in touch with their exes don't always realize that they are not showing respect for their former partner's decision to end the r
