thank you...............great post

It is the facts! You should live by the old addage: if it sounds too good to be true, it most probably is. Don't fall for internet scams why fall for guy scams?

Its great advice that I should have thought about before my wedding day...

its not always the internet scams.....there are real life scams too!!

Great post!! Thank You

well im a guy and ill respond to it i agree with alot of it but dont just think it applies to men it actually goes both ways which still goes treat someone the way you want to be treated just dont be hating on the man side lets face it there are a lot of shady women out there.There is good and bad whether its men or women im sure we all have our stories.Dont always be so quick to judge many of us by the actions of those youve known.Also alot of times we make up our minds by what weve been told not what we know is for sure and there is always two sides to every story sometimes more .Not everyone sees things the same way. Not everything is interpreted the way it was meant .There are some good people out there its unfortunate that you have to go through alot of crap to find them ...GOOD LUCK LADIES

i'D LIKE TO BE A FLY ON THE WALL OF A MAN'S BRAIN!!!

cheers tomb well said.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yes i agree it goes both for men and women

agreed tomb ... I wish we were less gender divided... it is people ... not a specific gender

Nicely put Tomb.......I believe that a great relationship is a great friendship. No one should have to give up control of who they are. The only thing is that some will give up control of thier Life to the other of thier own free will. Later that same person will complain that thier Life is be controled.....You must know who you are before entering any relationship. If you don't you my become someone you are not...

OOps.....you 'May' become someone you are not.........

I'm touch and agree fully thanks for pointing this out for now I know I find the right man for me:)

Good Post.. But I do Have Some Thoughts As to A Couple of Your Thoughts Here...

I have been through two divorce's, WE BOTH HAD ARE ISSUES...

BUT,,,AFTER some time, WE BOTH ARE FRIENDS "NOW". so where ya said NO YOU CAN'T STAY FRIENDS, I would disagree.

And On the YOU HAVE TO BOTH HAVE YOUR OWN FRIENDS??

Each PERSONS FRIENDS,,,should ALSO BECOME "THE OTHERS FRIEND.

NOW, If THAT is a problem,,,,THEN "THAT" IS A BIG PROBLEM..

If "ANY two people meet fall in-LOVE and unite together for life

Then each others FRIENDS should EXCEPT the "OTHER ONES friends to..and if THAT doesn't HAPPEN,,I HAVE SEEN SPLIT-UPS over
a "BAD" FRIEND, BEING "BAD" acting "ALL" the time and ACTING LIKE HE or SHE WANTED "THEM" to SLIT -UP??????
"THATS" NOT A FRIEND,,,to EITHER of THEM,,,and "THEY" "BOTH" NEED TO SEE THAT,, """AND THAT FRIEND IS""",,"BAD"....


But I loved all the rezt of your ADVICE...It will be USED here by MANY.....Thanks..

Ahhh! I have to agree Artgurl...for both genders it is a fabulous post.

For men to substitute 'man', in the OP and replace it with 'woman'...

It is applicable both ways.

We are not commodities, none of us...we are people.

Nice to think there are others that ackowledges this.

Great post!

I agree that it’s gender irrelevant.

I’m not sure I agree with everything that’s been said though,…

For example: “Never let a man know everything. He will use it against you later.”

That’s a pretty broad assumption. Why assume that about anyone?

If you can’t be totally open and honest with the one you’re with then you’re with the wrong person.

Pure and simple.

that is the problem with people James.
People like to generalize, and that is exactly when most of the mistakes are commited.

Hey ladys? Sorry to say this but I think you should open your eyes a little more on this site because there are alot of good men on here that have good heart. This is not ment in a mean way but a couple of you women seem to be surprised at this post.
