1. They're Not Finished Playing The Field
2. Most Guys Feel Compelled To Put As Many Relationship Conquests Under Their Belt As Possible

4. They're In Like, Not Love.
5. They're Too Into You.
Now every time you try to put "guy speak" into girl language, you're going to have a big problem. Let me explain. I have no idea who the original author is. I did try to find out that information and it is only listed as Cosmopolitan 2008 on both Yahoo and the Cosmopolitan website. I can only assume it's a woman, but I freely admit I could be wrong. They did give credit to the photographer who shot the hunky model who posed for the picture though. If I ever do come across the original author, I will most certainly post it. If anybody does know who it is, please feel free to pass on that information.
Cosmopolitan has always been a magazine geared towards women, for that I do not fault them. However, there are times the truth doesn't need to be distorted into some silly little "make women feel good fluff piece". Truth needs to be blunt and real. Sorry friends, I've always shot straight from the hip and I don't see that changing anytime soon.
There was a major point in this article that I honestly have to disagree with. Number 5.... They're Too Into You...... Now I read this to my twin, we're not blood related but we think identical. We both looked at each other and said what a crock of.......... Then we laughed about it for a good couple of minutes.
I'm leaving numbers 3 & 4 alone because they're self explanatory and pretty much right on the money.
Don't worry ladies, the codicil comes with combining reasons 1, 2, & 5. Numbers 1 & 2 are really the same thing anyway, although number 2 is most likely geared towards men between the ages of 18 - 35. Now let's talk about reason number 5, and why I have a challange with that one.
Ladies, ladies ladies, some simple but straight forward truth here. Men do not dump women they really like, no matter what Cosmo says, it just isn't done. If number 3 applies, he'll maybe be open about working through those issues, but still that's only a maybe. At least for a little while. If number 4 is the reason, it's pretty much just a physical thing for him and it never would have lasted to begin with. If a man is really into the relationship with you, it will be worth it for him to want to work through those challenges with you unless numbers 1 & 2 or both apply. I guarantee you, you will not be dumped because he is "Too into you".
I'd like to share this example with you. Just this morning a local radio station I was listening to, was discussing this very article. One man stated that he actually had dumped a lady he was really into. He explained that this was a lady he should have married and that he probably made the biggest mistake of his life. He spoke of this tremendous heartbreak but he really felt he had no other choice. You see he was still looking at and couldn't keep his hands off other women. Now I do not know this man's age at the time of these actions, but I can only imagine he was still pretty young, still needing to sow his wild oats. He also said he most likely did this lady a big favor.
Another man in the conversation asked why he did not try to reconnect with her and he went on to say that he did reconnect with her and rekindled the love they lost. But it just wasn't the same.
He then said. Once you wreck a car, it just never drives the same. Once a surfboard is broken, you can epoxy glue it back together, but it'll never ride the same way again. I just love mens truth. It's a total reality check.
Peace out friends,
Margaret
