Constructive Criticism

I'd like to think that most males are very prideful people. A real man takes pride in many of the responsibilities bestowed upon him. Males are expected to be breadwinners, they're looked to for being assertive and strong sources of support. Real men are raised to know and learn these types of things, the result of which leaves us with our chests out so to speak.

To be prideful is great, I think it's needed in life, it helps you carry yourself that much better. But there is a thin line between pride and ignorance. I was having a conversation with a friend of mine who was complaining about a guy she was seeing. She started off speaking of him highly, she listed all the great things he does for hr and the family. I was wondering what the hell could be wrong? As the story turns out this guy wasn't pleasing her in the bedroom like she wanted. Apparently dude was hitting way off the mark and she wanted to find a way to let him know discreetly.

I explained that you have to disguise your disgust, and when you bring it up you have to be clever. Don't bruise egos, it won't get you anywhere. I told her how to go about telling him, i thought it would help if she did it while in the act and just said "hey slow down," or just say little things hoping he'd get the idea. She told me he doesn't listen and I think that's where pride turned into ignorance.

This guy didn't listen to what his partner was saying, he thought what worked with everyone else worked for her #whatwashethinking. Truth is maybe everyone before her was scared to hurt pride and not say anything to him. But a true prideful person wants to excel at anything they pursue. With that being said he should want to listen, and want to make their intimate moments that much more enjoyable.

My message is simple, people of pride know how to listen and take instruction as well. It's not a knock on you, just an opportunity for you to be even better. The second you think you got it all is the second where you'll end up with nothing. To my fellas do not let your pride mess up a perfectly good thing. If you really wanna impress her just try and listen.
