Excerpt from the chapter:


How to Get the Man You Want to Marry You

For years I have been interviewing men, looking to find what is really important to them in a relationship. The most popular response was good sex. The complaints range from women not knowing or willing to perform oral sex to their satisfaction, to not getting enough sex. Some even complained that their women had let themselves go and were simply not sexy enough. When I asked most married men or men who were in a committed relationship what their women wore to bed, the highest percentage said (and not very happily) shorts and a tee shirt. Ladies, I know shorts and tee shirts are comfortable, but have you really looked at yourself lately or do you just jump into bed? I suggest that the next time you get dressed for bed, take a long, hard look in the mirror. What you see is probably a lot less appealing to your man. We already know that men live for fantasy. They go to strip clubs, watch porn; they live for fantasy. We need to incorporate a little bit of fantasy into our everyday lives. When you give your man that fantasy, he will enjoy coming home to you. Don't make your man feel as if he has to hide his porn collection. Men love women they can be themselves around. Show him that you are open-minded. If you really want to spice up your sex life, suggest selecting movies together and then enjoy watching them together. Your man will love you for it. If you have the ability to make your man feel like the man, he's not going anywhere. Men who are totally fulfilled are less likely to cheat.

Keep a clean house. This is extremely important. Men are comfortable in clean environments. If your home is filthy, your man may not say anything but he notices. Always look at your home through a visitior's eye. Avoid having dirty dishes in the sink, keep all wastebaskets throughout the house emptied (especially in the bathroom). Keep bathrooms and fixtures clean, mirrors streak-free. Keep any personal items you don't want guests to see in a separate area or storage closet. These items include sanitary items, tampons or pads, douche or any other feminine hygiene products. This also includes any prescription medications. If you do not want your man to know that you are on antidepressants, don't keep it in your medicine cabinet.

For example, my girlfriend, Tonya called me crying after her first date with Kevin. She described in detail how wonderful the date was. "After dinner he took me home," she said, "and I invited him in for a drink. We were connecting, the lights were low and the music was grooving. Kevin was in a playful mood and he was singing to me. Then he asked to use the restroom. The entire time he was in the bathroom, I kept trying to remember if there was anything in there I wouldn't want him to see. Then I thought about my prescription yeast infection medication that was in the medicine cabinet. I just know he looked through my things, he was in there for an awfully long time. Then when he came out, he made an excuse that he had to leave. His whole demeanor had changed. I am so afraid he saw something that turned him off."

Since Kevin never called her again, it's safe to say that he didn't get a sudden case of diarrhea from dinner, but probably saw something in her bathroom that turned him off. Tonya later realized what that something was; there was an empty condom wrapper in her wastebasket. Now Tonya knew better; all my girlfriends know the rules. Your bathroom should always be the one room in your home that is always up to standards. Your guest could ask to use it at anytime and because it is such a personal room, they can learn a lot about you just by checking out what is in there. Since they are behind locked doors, they have time to go through everything. When we visit a man's home you know what we do. We check the trash, medicine cabinet, and bathtub drain for strands of hair. I have even gone so far as to check the condition of a man's toothbrush. If his toothbrush is not well kept, and it is grimy and all worn-out, it sends the message that he will put anything in his mouth.
