Please don't forget the relationship crusher of not trying to understand the other person - an agenda of any kind, especially a secret one, can load pressure in that doesn't need to be there. So many women I have met expect, and some even demand, that a man have experience, and are unwilling to acknowledge that he may not have had a good male role model and just doesn't know some things. Pressure applied in this arena can be very hurtful to guys and snapping the fingers doesn't work, and yelling is probably the worst thing a woman can do to a man. Sure, be angry, but the outcome still depends on your input. There was an article on an Australian news/current affairs program that discussed "who wears the pants in your relationship" and the female presenter sure has some problems accepting she might need to consider those around her differently - http://cosmos.bcst.yahoo.com/up/yaun...3&ch=&src=y7tv

I have found the best way to get a man to do something that needs to be done is to ask nicely, and then thank him when he does it. If he doesn't do it, either do it yourself or leave it undone, and whatever happens happens. Simple, but effective.

Yelling, nagging and threatening only make him even more resolved that he's never going to do it in this lifetime.

I have used all of these tactics to get rid of a man...
'
I'm a badddddd gurl!

OTOH...I have my own list of how I sabotage relationships I amy really want:

1) Snore very loudly all night long

2) Eat in bed

3) Be emotionally bereft

4) Never remember anniversaries/birthdays (hey..I'm absent-minded...sheesh!)

5) Not want to meet family and/or friends

6) Emotionally unavailable

7) Too independent

8) Not needy enough to assuage some male egos

9) Laugh too loud...and often (sorry, I am a naturally happy person)

10) See relationships as a research project...(where is the data chart that says I am late 90% of the time?????????????)
