"Magpaumanhin Lamang Sa Iyo"

Sa pag-sawa ng kahapon
Dadapo ang bukas
Ng aking kalayaan
Mula sa 'yong hawak.

Ang mapuksong damdamin
Na nagdala ng sakit
Ay muling giginhawa
Sa kuna ng pag-ibig.

Walang katotohanan
Ang pinangarap na pag-asa
Yan ang pagtupad
Ng aking takda.

Salamat sa liwanag
Dala ng kasikatan
Yaong kinasawaan
Na aking nakamtam.

Sana'y 'di dinibdib
Ang aking kamalian
Na aking inasam
Ang iyong kabutihan.

Paalam, kaibigan
Ika'y di kayang makilala
Sa katahimikang tila
Isang munting ala-ala...

I happen to believe that there are more elevated, consistent men like myself who will take our time with a woman. A lot of what i see from younger, more eager men is they see a profile or something they like and the first thing that pops into their heads is either begging for a number, skype chat, etc.
I have to ask myself have this generation completely lost the value of being patient? Of maybe saying something in a first message that starts with "excuse me for saying so, miss, but i just read your profile and it made me smile. would you mind talking to me so we can get to know eachother?"

It's gracious it's humble and at least it doesnt come off as (insert misogynistic or morally degrading first message here cuz im NOT repeating what i see in chatrooms)! lol

They say nice guys finish last. Sometimes that's true.

But I happen to believe that patience is still a good thing and something to be valued. we may be guys and masculine and wanting what we want....but sometimes our modes of operation don't work for every woman.

Kind of that age-old adage of if a girl finds out how you feel about her right away, she'll run away, be completely turned off or otherwise avoid you like a plague.

I'm sure it's happened to al of us at some point.

we also live in a day and age where more women are asking GUYS out first, which i think is nice to see and very progressive, but it really depends on the girl's approach, too. people respond to different levels of flattery in different ways.

But if some of us exercised a bit of restraint here and there, if more of us recognized ourselves as people who don't jsut fall into bed with just anyone, if we took the time to get to know a girl's mind, her habits, her heart and hobbies - and took those things into consideration before writing our first message to them, and if we see them for more than what's between their necks and their knees (pervs, lol) they'd be more willing to respond, and less willing to block us.

A womans heart is a very fickle thing sometimes, guys.
Learn patience, grow in your wisdom, regard them as human beings in need of the best representation of yourself as can be (but dont be too much of a pushover), and who knows? You might get lucky.
Patience pays off ladies and gents.

Stay classy!
