Predicting The Future: How To Tell What Your Man Will Be Like in 10 Years

Does he talk to older generations?

When at an event attended by multiple age groups, does your guy stick to his generation or does he speak to older generations? A man that only talks to people in his own age group is not looking to get ahead or learn. But a man that makes a point of speaking to older generations, hearing their success stories and how they made it in the world has an eye for the future. He doesn’t go to a party just to drink and have fun. Every person and every conversation is an opportunity to learn and network.

    I kind of disagree with the helper one. I do think it shows a warning sign when a guy always has to be asked to help someone, but I’m not sure how much he goes out the way as it relates to weekend trips and such is even remotely the same.

    I’m not sure I can agree with the health one. We all need to probably be more proactive about our health, but I don’t think it means a mean has no drive in life in general. You want a man to care somewhat, but don’t read too much into it. Also, I somewhat agree with the one about the types of friends. Someone who wants to be going places wants at least a friend or two who is going placing. My Pastor always tells us that if you’re always the best and most successful in your circle of friends, you might have a problem. Everyone should seek out a few people who are doing as well as them or better. I disagree with the one about after work, but a person who wants to get ahead does think about something work related after work SOMETIMES. He considers going back to school or getting a certification. He might mention going to the work party or picnic. I don’t think someone who wants to be a real mover and shaker never talks about or thinks about anything related to work after work. There has to be some drive there. I disagree and agree about the gushing one. Sometimes it takes kids to bring out that side in both men and women, but I do think there are some people you can see that side potentially in them.

    … I really can’t deal with that cold sore on dude’s lip on the first page! This is the second time I’ve seen this pic on here, too… IDK, I’m petty, but I really can’t! LOL!!

    Most of this is probably spot on, but there’s too many generalizations and absolutes, as is usually the case with your articles.

    For example, if someone wants to forget all about work when they get home, they’re probably not looking to further their career? This cannot be a serious statement. If a man just spent 8+ hours earning his keep, he has the right to do whatever he feels like when he gets home, and that says nothing about his ambition level.

    Or #3, if he doesn’t gush he won’t make a good father? Often times it’s having a kid that brings out that side of them.

    Again, decent article, but please learn to qualify your statements instead of speaking in absolutes.

    Thank you so much for this article! 11 out of 15 describe my current relationship, but I keep beating myself up for wanting to be just friends because he’s not cheating or beating, but it is quite ok for me to end a relationship that doesn’t fulfill me and that I see heading in a direction that I am not comfortable with. Thanks for this article, I’ve been praying on it, and this as well as a few other things have manifested that encourages me to follow my heart.

    Interesting list. Everyone has flaws in certain areas. It would be interesting to see how an older man would rate himself on how much he’s changed of stayed the same.
