The 5 Things You Can Use To Tell A Serious & Good Man by DaySpringer: 5:11pm On Aug 07, 2019
There is this general saying... That you can meet a man in two months and he can have good intentions and marry you and there are men that can pretend for as much as year just to have sex with you and still leave after he has gotten what he wanted.

I don't believe in "A man will be loyal for who he wants to be loyal for". That is just a platitude that many ladies use to placate themselves after making poor judgements in character. They also use this to stop themselves from going into more detailed analysis of what they have missed during the relationships and the red flags that they may have ignored.

Loyalty is a core character trait that is not turned off or on depending on the person that the man is involved. Loyal men would rather break up than cheat.

So How can a lady Identify a Good man that is serious and has good intentions for her.
Ladies you are invited to share your opinion based on your experience.

What are the red flags that give you advance warning that at the midst of all the pretence that this guy might not be whole he really seems.

I have a belief that no matter how someone pretends, they cannot do a 100% perfect pretence game just the same way no football team can maintain 100% possession in a 90 mins football game, that is the same way that a pretended will at one time inadvertently reveal his true intentions.

So Ladies, based on experience what are the tell tale signs and

Guys, give the ladies a sneak peak in the way we think, what are the ways that a guy might drop the ball in his pretence game , that a lady might be tempted to just ignore as part of relationship issues that she absolutely must not.

Don't view and Pass, your comments and posts might just save someone from an even severe heartbreak.

1. that man will call u everyday even its just 2 hear ur voice
2. he will introduce u 2 his family, friends and refer u 2 pple as wife2be
3. he always want to hold ur hand in public and stay near u so even the blind will know ua re a couple
4. he begins 2 ask or seek ur opinions and see ur reactions to issues relating to marriage
5. he will try 2 have sex with u, but if he sees u are a good geh, he wont force. the disciplined ones wont ask at all grin

I feel that many guys that are pretending can always fake all of these things you have mentioned above.
Yoruba girls are especially known to be good at number 2.

Is there anything you can add that will help a lady to determine he is for real that is so uncommon that she must definitely believe it?
or conversely what can a lady spot that is a bad sign that his man is not for her, especially when he has otherwise been good so far.

I believe every individual has their own set of rules, land mines & deal breakers in a relationship. Some more specific than others.

I don't know about how other people go about it, but I always state mine very early on, so it is understood from the get go what my values are.
Like you said, things like loyalty don't change depending on which direction the wind blows. My core values also remain the same no matter who I choose to be with & I cannot compromise on them.

Relationships are a learning curve, so even though I've been in quite a few, I still don't know what the qualities of a 'good man' are supposed be lol. I only know what gels with me. A man is as 'good' as his beliefs vs. my own, I'd say. If we have a lot in common, we're 'good'.

Now a subject I'm very certain about is who is not right for me. This one is not as complicated as trying to figure out who's good. It's clear cut & simple. It all goes back to my FIXED & 'NOT ABOUT TO CHANGE ANYTIME SOON' core beliefs. I value things like communication, consistency, honesty & of course, loyalty. Try me on ANY of these things & the end is nigh. I think I'm pretty uncomplicated that way smiley

What else? Couldn't you see me applauding you? I could not have put it better.

Simple, a serious man will do his all to keep a woman's love and loyalty to himself. He would try and adapt himself to a woman's principles just to keep her happy and secure. He fervently pursues an everlasting bond of union with the woman (marriage).

I love you wink wink

It's not about one having to adapt to the other though. At least that's not how I want it or expect it to be.

Relationships are not by force. You don't have to be in one, for starters. You also don't have to "adjust" or morph yourself into someone's idea of an ideal partner just to be in a relationship with them. Nope, that I don't agree with. That's being disingenuous. A natural flow/fit is much better. Noone has to go through a personality makeover for the other. You just stay true to who you are. They either match up or they don't. SIMPLE. I'm very big on individuality. Like, who I am, my identity, things I believe in etc are all extremely important to me. I will never change them for anyone, just like I don't expect anyone to change who they are for me. Do you get my point?

Yea I get you wella. I was not saying one should lose his fundamental tendencies (that's impossible anyway) in other to fit into a woman's appreciation. To make it 'till death do us apart' one has to bend principles, make sacrifices etc. With time, they both blend in.

Abi bawo ni ( or how you you see it)?

Migraine kwa? I promise NEVER.

'Nisai', which I dedicated to my mother and all good women in the world, is an arabic lexicon, a plural of 'al-imrahatu' (woman), means women.

Wow, well thought out.

Mine is just word play from Cosa Nostra (the mob). Xhosa is obviously my ethnicity. So I guess you can say it's a combination of my identity & my intrigue (the underworld).
