Making The Grade: Do You Test Men?

5. The “No Win Situation” Test

How many times have we asked a man how we look in our clothes, or any other trick question, only to be disappointed by the answer – and then determine that our man is an insensitive jerk? Or pouted whenever he decided to spend time with the fellas, even after we encouraged him to get out more? Some women complain, try to be dramatic, demanding, or manipulative just to see if a man will put up with our crap – and he can’t win for losing. Why? Because if he doesn’t let us have our way, he’s a jerk and doesn’t love us. But if he’s “too nice” and gives in to our rants, he’s a punk and a pushover, and no woman wants a man she can walk all over. He’s damned if he does, and damned if he doesn’t. Expecting a man to put up with your nonsense or be a mind reader is selfish and childish, and testing him too much will only make him lose interest and move on to a more sane woman. Separating the boys from the men comes with experience, and the flaws of weak men will always be exposed. Just make sure that you yourself are the strong, successful and confident person you seek to find – making the pretenders that much easier to spot…no tests necessary.
