“How To Keep Him Interested”

“Why He Shouldn’t Leave You”

“Make Him Stay”

There’s so many articles out there, written and online, that talk about how to make him stay. How the girl should start cooking him dinner every night, be ready for sex every day, do his laundry and help him with his business. And, a common theme with these articles is that these activities are things we should be doing almost every day for him. However, men are rarely ever spoken to in that same manner. There’s a handful of articles geared towards males that speak about how to make her stay and keep her interested in the relationship, and this made me wonder. Is it because a female should be tied down to a relationship and the male should always be looking for ways out? That somewhere in society, it’s written down that women need to beg men to stay with them, but men shouldn’t have a doubt over the idea of leaving her.

Why is it always women that are targeted in these “relationship solver” articles? Is it because as females, we are more interested in fixing things instead of just throwing them away? Why do we have the be the ones to try and fix it all the time?

Personally, if you actually have to sit and read these articles about how to make a man stay and give him reasons for him to stay with you, the general consensus is that the relationship isn’t healthy or good enough to even continue on with. For men, they’re told to send flowers and chocolates and rub her feet when she’s angry, but for women we’re advised to invite him over for sex and make him a home cooked meal and dress up to show him what he’d be losing if he left. Why are we now being looked at as trophies or armcandy instead of just being the supportive girlfriend willing to work through issues instead of just using our body to solve any problems arising (hehe).
