The Tough Playful Alpha Male Just How Far Can You Go To Keep The Spice In Your Relationship Or Marriage

Our friend in recent editions, Kevin, writes of a stunning success you can all learn from in handling his wife's fits and turning it around into fun.You might remember us discussing women pitching a fit for no apparent reason in these recent issues:http://forum.makingherhappy.com/showthread.php/521-Signs-That-She's-About-to-Erupt-and-a-Miracle-Cure-for-Tension-and-Drama-in-Relationships-and-Marriage ...and...http://forum.makingherhappy.com/showthread.php/523-Why-Does-She-Erupt-How-to-Stop-Drama-from-Killing-Your-Relationship-and-MarriageThose two will bring you up to speed for what's about to follow...One of your fellow readers, Kevin, and I were discussing women who scream and pitch a fit but the instant a man gets upset and raises his voice one iota in response to their yelling, she comes off with something like, "I'm not talking to you while you're yelling at me," and Kevin replied:(she comes off with "I'm not talking to you while you're yelling at me." )...LOL! Oh man did that hit home! They flip it back to us all the time! With mine it's, "how ugly I talk to her and that she is certain I don't talk that way to the people I work with"...David, I am like a deer in headlights every time!I need to come up with something fun to flip back at her when I get that!Thanks!KevinI replied with this:"I don't spank the asses of the people I work with either, and I'm about to commence spanking yours. Are you wearing your big girl panties or are you going to wuss out and want a head start when I chase you?"DavidNow, keep in mind that remark was just an example, intended to define an attitude of a swaggering, fun-loving naughty boy. Kevin ran with it, and get a load of what happened:David...I just had to drop you a line and tell you that this suggestion to me has been golden man...I have been using variations depending on what she might say since you gave it to me....it immediately turns everything playful from the onset!...I can see it in her face and what she replies every time I say something about pulling her panties off of her and spanking her, etc.! She wants her panties pulled down!KevinI'm telling you in earnest, Gentlemen, if you're sitting on the fence waiting for somebody else to do it first, you're missing the boat, because everybody who's doing it is getting the same results!So how far can you go? As far as you can go with her looking and acting like she's having fun, of course! Some women even find a little playful wrestling, spanking, hair pulling, etc., quite hot, so you should experiment, and ramp it up slowly and watch for signs of discomfort or displeasure. Everybody has limits, and if you're going to play rough, you want to find them by brushing up against them and being able to back off, not by plowing right through them and creating a traumatic event.You have to be careful about not overdoing the frequency as well. You can't turn into a full-time prankster or clown, else nobody, including her, will respect you or take you seriously. It's not an act or a false identity that you put on. It's something that comes out naturally when you know that she's just as naughty, playful, and fun as you but waiting for you to lead her into it.So the big question is in striking the balance. The answer there is in being able to read her and yourself accurately. It's not too difficult to read yourself; basically, if you feel you're pushing it, you are, and if you feel you're holding back, you are. Go for the gusto however often you enjoy it and she'll enjoy it with you, as long as you don't turn into a prankish jackass who can never get serious and take care of business.Reading her is another matter. She wants and needs to have fun, but she also needs to see that you can get serious and handle things that need to be handled, including her! That takes knowing a lot more about women than any of us ever had the opportunity to learn in high school, but...It's still not that much. The problem is finding the information. Everybody and their brother claims to know what women want, including a lot of women, but often you (and they!) find that what they think they want is entirely different from what they actually respond well to. Indeed, take a look at any of the three articles I've given recently whose titles begin with the words "Be Careful What You Wish For" and you'll see. You'll see something else, too...You'll see that I've rounded up a bunch of women, had them teach me how to speak "girly-ese" so we could communicate effectively, and then had them tell me what they wanted and needed. That was all translated into "man-speak" and released to their husbands and boyfriends as the first working draft of "THE Man's Guide to Great Relationships and Marriage." And we proved that not only are there some common misconceptions among women about things like nice guys, we found the things that they really respond to by having their men try other things when what they said they wanted didn't work.Some project, huh? Well, it saved my marriage, and theirs, too! We all came out of it, men and women alike, with a new understanding of what makes us all tick, how we respond to things, how we really prioritize things, and most important of all, solid proof that we're different and that those differences can be used to complement each other's existence instead of being points of contention or competition! We found one other thing, too...Some couples are so incompatible that they never should have come together, and no matter what they do, their only shot at a happy life is to go their separate ways. We also found that when they agree that the problem is one of gross incompatibility and not some failure to be "good enough for," or even worse, "good enough to CHANGE FOR," they could behave like adults and end their relationship with dignity, as friends, instead of combatants trying to punish each other into oblivion for their rejection.It was quite a trip, and still is. There are a lot of things, like a happy marriage, a successful career, self-improvement, etc., that people mistakenly treat as a destination, when in fact they are a journey, an on-going process of exploration and growth. It would not surprise me to find out that I know more than any man alive about getting along with women in any kind of committed relationship, and yet I still find myself learning about them. And quite frankly, I hope that on the last day of my existence I'm still saying the same thing, because they are certainly worth learning about. After all, they outnumber us in the world population!It's true! And unlike us, they're organized and methodical when it comes to learning about the opposite sex and managing relationships. We're way behind the curve, so to speak, and not born with the natural resources to make it easy to pick up on, either, but...We're men! We take on problems and fix them! So while the women are sitting around milking the emotion from their problems in their relationships with us, we can be playing catch up! LOL!Seriously, we have a lot of catching up to do, and I'm here to make that easier for you. I've set up a forum at http://forum.makingherhappy.com I have an e-book that has given men such a jump-start that they've literally pulled marriages out of divorce court in as little as a week, and you can download it at http://www.makingherhappy.com. I'll say nothing else, except that every minute you waste wondering what you should be doing is a minute you could be spending fixing your problems and going back to your honeymoon, so your best bet is to take action, now, while the means are available. You don't want to find yourself a day late and a dollar short when your marriage - and life as you know it -- is on the line.In the meantime, live well, be well, and have a wonderful day!David Cunningham "Being a man is something to which one should aspire, not something for which he should apologize." --David Cunningham
