#1 Rule of Engagement - Communication

If you are or have been in a relationship with a female, there always comes a point when the wooing and excitement hits a big a** Berlin size brick wall right? There are many things that help to intensify or create friction amongst couples such as jealous/immature friends, $$$$$$$, family and of course attention from other females. One area that has to be on solid footing at all times to combat all the pressure (internal/external) in a relationship is the type of COMMUNICATION you have with your lady.   

The word Communicate means (to share or exchange information, news, or ideas). Never in the definition do you find words like (tone, emotion, feelings, care, respect, etc…). So why is it that only in relationships, the last thing females take away from the conversation at hand is the information actually presented.

Ladies; this weeks post is to help you gain insight in the complexity of us men and the role you play in keeping things Drama Free. How come in almost every man/female relationship there always comes a point when the female says “I want you to talk to me the way you talk to your friends”. Oh really?  So you want me to really speak blue, confrontational, animated to you but all in a loving way somehow? WTF? Now that is some real peanut butter & jelly bulls**t!

Forget “Keeping it Real”, your man “P” is about to “Keep it Right” and make things very elementary for those interested in improving their situation. Fellas, I do this for you all and ladies go grab a pen or pencil and pay attention. Class is in session.

The Power of Text – I love how females be mad brave and talk really reckless on their text messages but when is time to confront the guy in person and try to actually have a conversation, all of sudden “am having problems putting my words together”.  Huh? LMAO! Yo, don’t front for me to appease whoever it is that is pumping up your ego. Texting has definitely set back the male/female communication plan back like 20 years seriously.

Get to the Point – Be direct whenever possible. Ladies; please stop interrupting us men just because a thought popped up in your cranium and now all of a sudden you wanna talk about our finances. You can’t be serious? Can a brother enjoy the rest of his football game? Meanwhile, it wasn’t our finances you really wanted to talk about all along; it was the way you thought you saw me and ol’ girl flirting at happy hour. 

Hearing & Listening – If you want us to sit there and listen to you ramble on for hours at a time, the least you can do is pay attention to your man the first time around so he can dead the conversation. Ladies love to use and overstate this annoying seven letter English word that starts with a “P”. “P” stands for Process. Can someone explain to me why females love to Process EVERYTHING? Na Wa O!

Are We There Yet? – Ladies please just make up your minds ALREADY! It is bad enough that men get tortured on outings with females. For example; deciding on what to eat at a restaurant, waiting on your late a** after you done tried on about five different outfits only to put back on the first one (all of this just to attend a BBQ). SMH!

I Plead the 5^th – Just because I chose to say nothing don’t mean am guilty of anything. I decide and will tell you what I think/want you to know when I feel like it. It is your job to prove beyond a reasonable doubt my conviction of any wrong doing so please call on your first witness because the Defense Rest its case.

Case of the Ex – Look; NO two men truly communicate the same. So stop trying to figure out or conduct some type of informal poll with i.e. (the girlfriends with no man in their lives) on how you think you see similarities or tendencies in your current situation versus the last guy that dropped you.

If you don’t learn anything from this post, walk away with this “better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than to open it and remove all doubt” Mark Twain.
