Ladies, word of wisdom for you

Ladies, word of wisdom for you
Posted By: Joseph Ricks on February 08, 2006


Six ways to learn everything you ever need to know about a man before you decide to marry him:

1. Watch him drive in heavy traffic.

2. Listen to him talk to his mother when he doesn’t know you’re listening.

3. See how he treats those who serve him (waiters, maids).

4. Notice what he’s willing to spend his money to buy.

5. Look at his friends.

6. And if you still can’t make up your mind, then look at his shoes. A man who keeps his shoes in good repair generally tends to the rest of his life too.

Dominique it will allow you to see how he responds to stress and stressful situations. You dont want to be involved with someone who has a temper and flys off at the drop of a hat.

i like this. it lets you see your man in a stressful state; shows his feelings toward his mother- which will reflect the respect that he has for women; shows what he feels is important in life- I think it's helpful.

I agree. I guess I need to clean my shoes a little more. I work on trucks so I'm naturaly bad on shoes. I've been workin on that though. But Joe, I have a problem. My mother passed in '99. How can a Lady/Woman know how I treat others?
