MWN's Top 10 Reasons Y Ask the Man


Some described them as the beings from planet Mars, others describe them as a species of the carnivores but regardless of how you refer to them, they have made you ask at least a dozen times; Why they think the way they do? Why they do some of the things they do? And where they get the logic behind some of their actions? I know, I so don't need to get you started. Lol (laugh out loud). Have you ever felt like you totally just don't get men? If this sounds like you and you have heard yourself discussing your similar frustrations with your female friends, only to find they are just as confused as you. Then, MWN feels your pain and has just what you need, "Ask the Man". It's a section devoted to assisting women navigate through the often traitorous and confusing waters of a man's mindset. The section is answered by a man, anonymously.  Now, before you start rolling and twisting your looks, MWN would like to give you their top ten reasons why you need a male's perspective and why you should "Ask the Man", and hear what he has to say. "Ask the Man" Because....

10). You have tried it your way and it has not worked. How many times will you pass the same point on the carousel before realizing that something has to change? You put on a pretty convincing front, but if you are honest with yourself, you know there are some things that unless it is pointed out by someone else, you may never see. "Ask the Man" is that different perspective.

9). Your girlfriends solutions aren't working. They hold your hand when you need it and are there to give a shoulder when the tears start to flow but there advice don't bring you the clarity you'd hoped it would.  Even though you are thicker then thieves and have vowed to ride or die together, when it comes to men, it takes a man to understand another man. Otherwise, it is just their best guess.

8). Being Single by Choice or by Default is Still Single. As much as some woman claim to be single by their own choice, the truth is they avoid men because they don't want to take the time to learn how to get along with them.  If you've been looking for an instruction manual, good luck finding it but "Ask the Man" can supply you with a study guide so you don't have to be alone because you don't know how to pick or create a successful relationship.

7). Relationships Require Work. You have to be willing to study something to use it well or get along well with it. We will help you with your (OJT) on the job training but you have to be willing to put in the time and effort.

6). We Believe in YAHOO. (You Always Have Other Options). When in the middle of a storm, it is often quite hard to see the simple options to get out of the path of destruction. "Ask the Man" provides a larger view of the big picture and additional options that are available.

5). The Difference Between Use and Abuse Can Sometimes Be Grey.  Sex, laughter, seriousness, games, and toys all have their importance and place. The unconscious use or ill use of any use becomes abuse. "Ask the Man" will teach you how to be balanced. 

4). The Blind Can't Lead the Blind. "Ask the Man" teaches from proven success not trumped up opinion from failed attempts.

3). We Believe in Bluntness. Although you might not get the answer that you want or that you are looking for, it is the one you may need. It won't be sugar coated or watered down. Sometimes you just need to be told the hard honest truth so you can through or past some things.

2). We are not Bias. We don't do favorites. It's not about man bashing or womanizing. It's about getting to the root problems and addressing them. No time for games or trying to get browny points. It takes two to make a couple and it takes two to ruin or cause a relationship to succeed. And there is always things both sides can change and improve.
