  1. Every time I meet a wonderful woman, I always strive to become better. Better the woman, the better I try to become. That’s why great men always advise falling in love with great women.
  2. Love happens just once is a myth, you fall in love a lot of times and every love is a new experience. Fresh and different.
  3. Heartbreaks are over-rated, you will bounce back in style. And moreover, heartbreaks that happened today won’t matter in five years because life changes every moment and you never remain the same.
  4. Career is important, very important. Women love successful men or men who have the potential to make it big. You can say, a woman is an investor and men are startups. Startups with great potential will find great investors.
  5. Be brave enough to bid goodbyes. It is only then life will welcome you with new hello’s.
  6. Never trust a woman with her words. They will snap as per their moods and circumstances of life. And yes, they will always have their explanations that why they did what they did.
  7. Building walls around your heart and not letting anyone in is the most destructive way to heal oneself. You need love to be healed and eventually, you need to get out of your shell to live your life.
  8. Kiss, foreplay, and tight hugs are blessings. They make you feel blessed, you feel like a King in control of his Kingdom.
  9. When a girl takes her revenge, it is deadly. It will give you a lot of pain and months of sufferings.
  10. Getting into a relationship is in your hands but taking it to the holy altar of marriage isn’t. A lot of external factors come into play.
  11. You can pretty much turn horny seeing your ex if your relationship was just about sex.
  12. As you fall in love, you can fall out of love as well.
  13. Laziness is our biggest enemy. If you become lazy and start taking your relationship for granted, your breakup isn’t far away. Work hard on your relationship, there is no shortcut to hard work.
  14. Sometimes the most beautiful faces have the ugliest minds.
  15. Always be clear on what you want from a relationship, never keep your partner in the loop or try to fool them. If you are in for sex, just be vocal about it. Faking love to get sexual pleasures is a sin of the greatest form.
  16. True love exists but like every other pure substance, it is rare very rare.
  17. Forgive who betrayed you, left you alone, and brought tears to your eyes. You cannot move ahead with a heavy heart, you need to shed those tears to continue the journey.
  18. Love is in the present tense. If someone loves you today doesn’t guarantee their love tomorrow. Every day is a new day and life is full of sad surprises.
  19. A girl always comes prepared when she has to break up. That’s why she doesn’t budge even if you throw her at her feet and cry a river.
  20. Well, when going through a breakup, cry a river and then make a bridge and move over it.
  21. Your best friend is perhaps hot and can make a good partner, take her out on a date to know more about her romantic tastes. She may surprise you.
  22. Believe in the power of words, do not abuse your partner. Be kind to her. By doing this, you will leave a positive impact on her for life.
  23. Always have an ego, it helps you grow a spine but yes keep that ego in moderation.
  24. When she is pissed off with you, flowers and chocolates will never go wrong. They will help you cool her down.
  25. Poetry, self-made cards, singing songs are worth a treasure for her. She will cherish them. Small things do matter.
  26. If she says, we have no future and it isn’t working, she is a prophet and she is predicting the future. Believe her words and end the relationship.
  27. Even if you were a good boyfriend, breakups are inevitable. They happen, it is not always about you. Sometimes it is destiny, sometimes it is her, sometimes it is something else.
  28. PDA’s are sexy.
  29. If you are a good boyfriend, you may not be a good husband material :-P Husband materials don’t do poetry, they work hard and earn better paychecks :-p just like some men need hot chicks as girlfriends and beautiful traditional women as their wives. Girls desire poets, musicians, and sportsmen as their boyfriends and CAs, CEO’s, and Government employees as their husbands.
  30. Reading the above points may give you a feeling that, girls are some wicked creatures. Well not at all, they are human beings just like men are and have their own flaws as we men do.
  31. Hookups have a messy end and friends with benefits is a lame concept.
  32. First kiss is magic, you feel like it was the best thing that ever happened to you. But then that magic fades away and it becomes mundane at times. The trick is to keep that magic alive. Intimacy is about those long sighs and moans. Never let your breath go normal during intimate moments. Feel the pleasure, be present in that moment.
  33. Relationships don’t define your life, they are a part of your life.
  34. Getting into a relationship with someone who matches your sexual frequency is the greatest turn on.
  35. Don’t tell, show her- If you are horny.
  36. Promises are made in the heat of the moment and are just vague words that cannot be relied upon. Most people regret making promises because they are tough to keep.
  37. My first breakup made me a poet, then I became a philanderer for a while wasting my time until I met a wonderful woman who calmed my raging hormones. I got my focus back and my career was back on track.
  38. She left eventually but taught me some good values for life.
  39. Having multiple flings at a time is a waste of time. We are just digging our own graves. And in the end, all that wasted time can cost us a fortune.
  40. Focusing on one woman can bring wonders to your life. It isn’t about monogamy, it is about utilising your sexual energy wisely.
