How to Get a Man to Marry You - wikiHow

-Love Yourself
-Be Natural
-Communicate
-Be Emotionally Grounded
-Overflow With Joy
-Be Sexy
-Know Your Role
-Show Confidence
-Show Endearment with Class
-Be Fun
-Appreciate a man's strengths
-Don't Assume
-Practice Humility
-Convey Unconditional Love

and there are more.

The problem seems to be that in order to earn a living --a woman needs a somewhat different style--switching modes is challenging. I feel that I meet the requirements pretty well---there are moments of pure insanity--made easier by having a man around.

mmmm--My friend's sister has a good one---has his own moments of insanity--but he is generally 'The Rock'. She would also completely fulfill every requirement listed--at all times.

I will certainly continue to 'Try'--some sort of Southern woman--Reba MacIntyre, Julia Roberts, Reese Witherspoon, Dixie Chick, Scarlett O'Hara, Melanie Wilkes and more.

I'd have to say 'Julia' has the more pleasing style--even w/o being gorgeous.

Low, soft voice--lol's a lot--speaks her mind, does what she wants---has her proverbial 'S' together. Who can say if she has ever 'gone out of her mind'---protective of her privacy and has others who are also protective. Maybe she goes out of her mind quietly---preferable to going out of your mind more audibly. Maybe she doesn't go out of her mind--goes and rides a horse or finds some way to settle down.

I should research Julia and become more like her--that much is clear to me. lol

Then I must find another role model.

Perhaps not an actress or woman of extraordinary abilities.

I once knew a woman that looked something like Julia--people seemed to like her--what she may or may not have done at home I cannot say.

My neighbor definitely has her moments--similar style--persuasive sort--formerly a nurse and has high standards for housekeeping, etc --always a lady--tall, tiny frame with long hair.


I can only conclude that taller women --nice looking women--with a certain flair --can be allowed more latitude. The injustice of that annoys me.

There must be an explanation here>>>

Why don't you just be yourself? Take this list and incorporate it into your own personality. Stop looking at others as a role model. Be your own role model. Life really is simple if you don't make it complicated.

Annoyed with myself too frequently. From time to time I need fresh inspiration.

I have decided to 'find a man very soon'---tired of doing things for myself that could be done so easily by a certain type of man. To think of it--in just a few minutes I must cut my own grass---how easy it would be if a man had arranged for the grass to be cut---it is sincerely my fantasy. If the computer has a problem--it is nothing for those with technical skills to diagnose and correct the problem--that is truly what I want/need.
I can do these things for myself and do --but don't really enjoy such distractions.
I have many other interests. I have a dog---and will be getting a new job.
Men are interesting----fascinating---why not make the effort?

I think Amy Adams might be inspiring---who knows what she might do in private--from this pic she appears to be 'happy, easy going, confident, kind, experienced, esoteric and more'---

I will locate a copy of 'Julie and Julia' and learn more.

My advice went right over your head. Ok, play someone else in life and see how many people you can get that won't know how you really are. Really since you are bent on becoming someone else, after time, you won't even know yourself and your feelings.

mmm--my response went over your head

There are times when change is needed. 'Visualization'--focus on your strengths--find a picture and set your mind on this--deep in the subconcious the programming begins. Don't believe in that---you should try it--works very well.

From the picture and what I see in it--I will be reinforcing the better character traits.

This can be done in thousands of ways. I know entirely too much about fashion, health and beauty--all the essential things women know or 'people' know. This is making my life complicated--grinding gears.

From time to time it is good to reinvent oneself. My mid 90's car Honda Accord is great--dependable --has enough power --is attractive enough but soon I think I will need a later model.

I have all the endearing qualities of a Timex---but the Fossil watches and others are a bit more updated. That is what I am doing--updating myself. Comprendez--vous?

I mean, you need to be yourself....if you aren't it'll show right through and thats what guys DON'T want, someone whos pretending. But these aren't bad qualities to possess. If you're trying to change yourself for the better that's one thing, but to get a guy doesn't make sense.

God Bless.

If you change to get a man, what will happen when the real you shows up? Won't he feel that he has been tricked or duped? I know I would want a man to be himself...not someone he thought I wanted. If you change to make yourself a better person, that is better than changing for a person or to catch a person. Of course men like women that make them feel good about themselves, but don't we all like people that are interested in us? To me that seems to be the secret...be interested in men...and let them know that you like them.
