HOW TO KNOW A REAL PARTNER AS A LADY

1. A man knows what he wants, and
goes for it. A boy may have somewhat of
an idea, but not really. He doesn’t think
too much about it, and even if he does,
doesn’t exert much effort to get it. A boy
is passive, a man is assertive.
2. A man plans for his future and is
working towards building a foundation
and infrastructure in order to have a
family (at some point in his life). A boy
lives only in the moment and his plans
are mostly around which bar he’s going
to hit up on the weekend.
3.A man looks for a woman with
intelligence, who is supportive,
grounded and encompasses a shared set
of values when choosing a partner. A
boy cares mostly only for girls who are
hot, wild and exciting.
4. A man knows a good woman when he
meets one and will take initiative to get
to know her. A boy may make an
attempt if you’re lucky, but gives up
before ever really trying.
5. A man has the courage to have
uncomfortable conversations. He is
honest with his intentions and lets
people know where they stand. A boy
avoids. He ignores confrontation or any
serious talks about feelings. Instead of
dealing with a situation, he runs away
from it or creates drama or excuses to
mask the fact he’s not that into you or a
relationship.
6. A man knows when to invest in a
woman and jump in with two feet. A
boy is always “testing” – he doesn’t fully
commit because he never knows if he is
quite ready. But the truth is, because he
is a boy, regardless of who he meets, he
will never be ready due to the stage of
life he is in.
7. A man knows how to have a good
time and be social, but is often busy
making strides in his career and
building his life. A boy is getting drunk
with his buddies at the bar every
weekend.
8. A man takes the time to reflect on the
type of man he wants to be, the example
he wants to leave and the vision for his
life. He has put thought into his values.
A boy has not established his moral
compass or values and consequently, is
often inconsistent.
9. A man has integrity. He means what
he says, and says what he means. He
has follow through and actions his
promises. And if he can’t he has the guts
to tell you why. A boy makes promises
but doesn’t follow through.
10. A man is afraid of rejection but will
put himself out there anyway. A boy is
afraid of rejection and acts passive so
that his pride and ego won’t ever get too
banged up.
Now, a lot of these differences require
taking the time to know someone to
figure out if the apple of your eye is
indeed a man, or a mere boy. However,
one of the quickest filters that you can
notice from the beginning is this:
11. A boy plays games. A man doesn’t.
