What Oprah Has To Say About MEN !!!

This was the subject of the mail that I recieved the other day.. As I finished reading it, I felt it would be better to blog it.. So here it is..(my comments in italics)
If a man wants you, nothing can keep him away.
(Dont kno abt that...)
If he doesn't want you, nothing can make him stay.
(Well If i were in his shoes, then probably I would do the same..)
Stop making excuses for a man and his behavior. Allow your intuition (or spirit) to save you from heartache.
(Fortunately or unfortunately my intution never seems to work...)
Stop trying to change yourself for a relationship that's not meant to be. Slower is better.
(Very true.. )
Never live your life for a man before you find what makes you truly happy.
(Its important to discover who you really are.. )
If a relationship ends because the man was not treating you, as you deserve, then heck, NO, you can't "be friends". A friend wouldn't mistreat a friend. Don't settle.
(True.. what are you getting by either settling or not settling.. Nothing.. so better not settle.. )
If you feel like he is stringing you along, then he probably is. Don't stay because you think, "it will get better." You'll be mad at yourself a year later for staying when things are not better.
(Hmm.. Being too optimistic or turning a blind eye to facts is not wise.. "things will get better".. I am reminded of "no communication synchronization" in my elective course.. )
The only person you can control in a relationship is you.
(You can never control anyone and no one is in control of you except yrself..)
Avoid men who've got a bunch of children by a bunch of different women. He didn't marry them when he got them pregnant, why would he treat you any differently?
(True..)
Always have your own set of friends separate from his.
(Hmm.. probably for the better..)
Maintain boundaries in how a guy treats you.
(Every individual has a personal line that should never be crossed.. irrespective of the relationship..)
If something bothers you, speak up.
(Very true..)
Never let a man know everything. He will use it against you later.
(No comments..)
You cannot change a man's behavior. Change comes from within.
(You dont change unless you really want to..)
Don't EVER make him feel he is more important than you are...even if he has more education or in a better job.
(Think of yrself first.. ????)
Do not make him into a quasi-god. He is a man, nothing more nothingless.
(He he.. I am just wondering..)
Never let a man define who you are.
(You are who you are.. )
Never borrow someone else's man.
(Someone might borrow yours.. ?? :D)
If he cheated with you, he'll cheat on you.
(True..)
A man will only treat you the way you ALLOW him to treat you.
(You always have a choice.. just that, it depends on what you choose..)
All men are NOT dogs.
(Debatable..?? :P..)
You should not be the one doing all the bending. Compromise is two-way street.
(True for any relationship..)
You need time to heal between relationships...there is nothing cute about baggage. Deal with your issues before pursuing a new relationship.
(No comments..)
You should never look for someone to COMPLETE you...a relationship consists of two WHOLE individuals... look for someone complimentary... not supplementary.
(Very very true.. most of the times you dont realise it until its too late..)
Dating is fun... even if he doesn't turn out to be Mr. Right.
(Very true.. )
Make him miss you sometimes...when a man always know where you are and you're always readily available to him he takes it for granted.
(Hmm.. Taking for granted..(sigh)..)
Never move into his mother's house.Never co-sign for a man.
(No comments at all..)
Don't fully commit to a man who doesn't give you everything that you need.
(You always deserve the best.. nothing less than that..)
Keep him in your radar but get to know others.
(True..)
Share this with other women and men (just so they know)...You'll make someone smile, another rethink her/his choices, and another woman prepare, and a man aware.
(Just hope so..:) )

Huh!! David Letterman would just need to change the gender for his next show :-).

My point, if you look it from a guys viewpoint, some of the points stand valid when he should think _seriously_ think about a girl.


But then again, some of the points have more of marketing gimmick associated with them. And just like I personally find it _STUPID_ to evaluate relaitonships on the basis of some 10 point objective questions asked in some magazine, trying to base relationships on some points "suggested" by some TV or Movie star is even _MORE_STUPID_.
