Act like a lady, think like a man

Friday night a friend and I spontaneously went to watch a movie. I was rather keen to watch 'act like a lady, think like a man' and my guy friend agreed. Poor guy. Appearing to be rather girly and frivolous movie, he still came with.

The movie classified men into four different categories: the dreamer, the mommy's boy, the non-committal and the player. Each of these titles are self explanatory. I 'm sure we have all come across men and women who can be described as the above.

The dreamer is someone who lives more in the future than in the present. While some may call this ambitious it can also be unbalanced to live like this. The journey matters too. One thing I have learned from a previous relationship is to be careful what you promise and dream about. Be careful that you watch the words that come out of your mouth. Consider each word before you speak and then speak only when you have every intention of fulfilling. I have been on the other end of the relationship where the words that were spoken were empty. Watch your mouth.

((Please don't get me wrong,I'm not saying don't dream. What I am saying though is make sure that you don't negatively affect someone else by dreams that you aren't intending to fulfill))

Mommy's boy is the guy who says no to spending time with his girlfriend to spend time with his mom. This guy has positioned the girlfriend to feel like she has to compete with the mother. This is a losing battle as a mom has a special bond with her son. Essentially mother and girlfriend were never destined to compete. But we don't live in a perfect world, do we?

The non-committal is someone (it can be a male or a female) who has no intention of committing to marriage or anything serious. Beware of these guys/girls girls/guys, especially if you are someone who is intentional and purposeful. The worst thing someone can do is compromise their standards to be with someone who is not willing to compromise theirs for you. Embrace the personality trait that you are someone who is faithful and enjoys the rewards of being intentional and faithful. Don't stoop to someone else's mediocre standard of coasting along with little responsibility. No responsibility also means less adventure and who doesn't like adventure? ;)

The last guy/girl described in the movie is the player. I'm sure we all know the player far too well. He is the guy/ girl we can see from a mile away. They are the one's with the smooth words, shiny jacket, polished shoes and sparkling smile. Although he may look rather attractive, girls, don't fall for him because this guy is not going to be there to catch you when you fall.

Surprisingly (Yes, i'm being sarcastic) like every well meaning and unrealistic film, these men all changed because they met some amazing women who were worth the effort.

Do go watch this movie, it is underlined with pinnacle relationship mess up's as well as sprinkled with a generous dose of humour!
