What Oprah Winfrey Had To Say About Men by ITbomb(m): 10:59pm On Oct 24, 2012
HEAR WHAT OPRAH WINFREY HAD TO SAY ABOUT MEN :
.
If a man wants you, nothing can keep him away. If he doesn't want you, nothing can make him stay.
.
Stop making excuses for a man and his behavior. Allow your intuition (or spirit) to save you from heartache. Stop trying to change yourself for a relationship that's not meant to be.
.
Slower is better. Never live your life for a man before you find what makes you truly happy. If a relationship ends because the man was not treating you as you deserve then heck no, you can't "be friends". A friend wouldn't mistreat a friend. Don't settle. If you feel like he is stringing you along, then he probably is.
.
Don't stay because you think "it will get better"You'll be mad at yourself a year later for staying when things are not better.The only person you can control in a relationship is you.

.
Avoid men who've got a bunch of children by a bunch of different women.He didn't marry them when he got them pregnant, why would he treat you any differently?
.
Always have your own set of friends separate from his. Maintain boundaries in how a guy treats you. If something bothers you, speak up.
.
Never let a man know everything.* He will use it against you later. You cannot change a man's behavior.* Change comes from within. Don't EVER make him feel he is more important than you are...Even if he has more education or in a better job.Do not make him into a quasi-god.
He is a man, nothing more nothing less.
.
Never let a man define who you are. Never borrow someone else's man. If he cheated with you, he'll cheat on you. [/b]A man will only treat you the way you ALLOW him to treat you.[b] All men are NOT dogs.

You should not be the one doing all the bending...Compromise is two way street. You need time to heal between relationships...There is nothing cute about baggage...Deal with your issues before pursuing a new relationship. You should never look for someone to COMPLETE you...A relationship consists of two WHOLE individuals...Look for someone complimentary...not supplementary.
.
Dating is fun...even if he doesn't turn out to be Mr. Right. Make him miss you sometimes...when a man always know where you are, and you're always readily available to him - he takes it for granted
.
Never move into his mother's house. Never co-sign for a man. Don't fully commit to a man who doesn't give you everything that you need.*Keep him in your radar but get to know others. Scared of being alone is what makes a lot of women stay in relationships that are abusive or hurtful:
.
Dr. Phil says You should know that: You're the best thing that could ever happen to anyone and if a man mistreats you, he'll miss out on a good thing. If he was attracted to you in the 1st place, just know that he's not the only one.They're all watching you, so you have a lot of choices.Make the right one.
.
Ladies take care of your own hearts...

An old cargo that has just bluntly refused to accept the fact that she's old .

What more would u expect from a woman right activist .
I don't agree with her 100% but some girls should use their brain in a relationship .

Her equal right stuff won't work in Nigeria cos even the Nigerian woman knows she has to be submissive to her partner
Re: What Oprah Winfrey Had To Say About Men by Nobody: 6:24am On Oct 25, 2012
Oprah Oprah! Well not bad but highly biased. An old woman who lacks a man in her life wanna talk about relationships. Hmnn!
Re: What Oprah Winfrey Had To Say About Men by Rooneyboy(m): 7:28am On Oct 25, 2012

She herself can even withstand the challenges that comes with relationships and she's trying to advice ladies like she's conquered all.

You just gave my thought a voice. I read this excerpt "Don't fully commit to a man who doesn't give you everything that you need" and someother lines. Such won't work here. Her advise though more of personal experiences and conclusion of her condition will no-doubt help some ladies in more ways than one.

i agree with this. but what i dont understand is why men who act like dogs run their mouths like biatches when they get beaten at their own game?
Re: What Oprah Winfrey Had To Say About Men by Nobody: 8:34am On Oct 25, 2012
True talk! Everything she said is generally true...but the sad thing is,our ladies don't give a damn.They always hope it will turn blissful in a r/ship with the wrong guy,even when trouble is staring at them...
Re: What Oprah Winfrey Had To Say About Men by sKy007: 8:52am On Oct 25, 2012
Oprah is 90% true , ladies should use their head , change is from inside . If a man had use a certain attitude to grow to 25 yrs , don't expect to change by giving punny
Re: What Oprah Winfrey Had To Say About Men by Nobody: 9:08am On Oct 25, 2012
I agree with most of what she has said.
For those who say she is an old lady not having a man. so what?
she is very successful. she has made it from rags to riches. I look up to her. And she has made it without a man grin

Just because the advice came from Oprah doesn't make the advice disastrous. I'm not an Oprah fan myself, but she has a point.
She may be an unmarried woman, but she's not ignorant when it comes to issues of men. She has a lover whom she's been dating for over a decade (and she did have others before him).
Just because she doesn't define herself through marriage doesn't mean that she can't offer relationship advice.
For instance, she states, "Avoid men who've got a bunch of children by a bunch of different women. He didn't marry them when he got them pregnant, why would he treat you any differently?".....
Is there anything wrong with the above piece of advice? Aren't these the exact words you'd tell your daughter? Aren't these the very same words your mother would tell your sisters? You now have a problem with the very same advice simply because it came from Oprah? Good advice is good advice regardless of who is relaying it.

thank you so much. I totally agree with you. Didn't know she has been in a relationship for so long. And this makes her even more entitled to give relationship advice. BECAUSE: she might not be married but she has been able to maintain a relationship that is not bound by law but solely by free will. some people are married but only remain so because divorce is frown up by the society they live in. she is together with someone because she chooses to be with the person every single day. not because she has to but because she wants to.

Let's attempt at logic, shall we? Nobody has flayed her for giving career or business advice. Her critics on this have criticised the issues she raised in terms of the 'relationship' advice she gave.
Whether or not she can run a mile in 10secs has no direct bearing on this thread.

Generalization is not a good thing ,if u agree with her on this that means ur father is a dog ,ur pastors are dogs ,ur husband is a dog and every male in ur family is a dog

Never let a man define who you are. Never borrow someone else's man. If he cheated with you, he'll cheat on you. A man will only treat you the way you ALLOW him to treat you. All men are NOT dogs.
