Guys, grab a pen & note pad � Here's a list of what most women want.

1. Attention.
Give her a lot of it. She wants it from you and you only. If you don't she'll lose interest and best believe another guy is always willing to give it to her.

2. Reassurance.
Always remind her that you love her and that you'll always be there for her. Also let her know you are hers alone and nobody else's.

3. Respect.
Treat her like a lady. Don't talk to her as if she's one of your boys. The way you treat her and random people should differ.

4. Security.
She should feel safe with you. Don't let her walk alone - escort her instead. Make sure that she's fine. Let her know she can rely on you.

5. Listen.
Show interest even if you not in the mood. Let her share her thoughts. If she can't talk to you then who TF is she supposed to talk to??

6. Treat her right.
You don't have to be the richest! Little things like cooking for her, flowers & sweet texts could do. DON'T � EVER � HIT � HER!�

7. Communicate.
Text & call her whenever you can - no matter how busy try make time for her. Don't leave her in the dark in terms of your plans.

8. Patience.
She may take time to open up when she's upset but she'll eventually warm and tell you everything. Don't flip on her, just let her know that things will be okay.

9. Sexual satisfaction.
Don't be that "bust a nut & roll over" type of guy. Maximize on the pre-intimacy, eat her pussy & make sure that she gets satisfied too.
Give her kisses, on the lips, neck and forehead. Hugs from the back, cuddle, tell her how much you love her and remind her that she's beautiful.

who send you, amebo.

fear agbor people o

And my house is just about 10 minutes drive to the airport

Completed after over 10yrs from foundation laying.

Naija my country.

Since Asaba/Onitsha is nodal town like Ore in Ondo state, won't it be wise to station the airport as a hub for goods heading to the East. It may even serve parts of Ondo and Ogun state. It's location is very stategic.

It should eventually become a hub

I feel in private hands it should achieve that potential especially with heavy marketing.

I will like to have your opinions.

eat her pussy

Eat her whaaaat??
