PerSOULnalities

“Heather Covington is like a candle that champions a concerted flame that burns your psyche and warms your mind to new thinking. Look inward at your opportunity to gain self-discovery in just 10 to 30 lines. It will take only a few minutes to find yourself. I get to be a fictitious composite of the male perSOULnalities  that you will uncover here. You may be more fortunate, and find yourself nailed to a single perSOULnality fashioned by Heather Covington. If so, joyously take your discovery as a chance to extensively improve yourself. As it is, I will take my medicine from the author one beautiful ego at a time. I will not be timid about prolonging my visit with her alter ego or myself. You must not either. I suppose now that I have dipped my big toe into the poetic abyss of self-discovery, I have little choice but to own up to a perSOULnality. I can recognize me, as any honest male could, but prefer to have Heather tell me, if she only would. For in every perSOULnality of the feminine kind, there's an influence on the male mantra that is both altering and sublime. I am perplexed at my self-learning need, for when it comes to the beautiful and insightful Heather Covington, I am equally wanting to look as I am to read. Read and look. Find yourself here. Do something about the male condition with this wonderful and honest book”

FORGETFUL MAN

“Men can be very boring creatures. Women do get annoyed when a man never spices up the romance and forgets to  use  some creativity. Women love those men who are not afraid to role play, and step out of character once in a while. Women love a man with true humor, and not phony humor. What ever you do, eliminate pretending to be someone who you are not. Do not pretend to be rich. Do not pretend to have your life in control. Do not pretend to have your finances and schooling together. This is not the kind of role play a woman wants. If a woman has to take care of a man in these areas, then he is her child, and not her man. Men  should be independent, and if not quite there, be honest. There is nothing worse than leading a woman on and mentioning that one will share their lives, provide stability and security in the event that if she has her child and needs to take time off from work, you both will be okay, when in fact, you are living pay check to pay check. Women want stability. Men get this wanting confused with the term, “gold diggers.” If your woman has a career and can independently take care of herself, she is not a gold digger. She obviously does not need you as a   dependent. Do not get mad. You need to be able to at least, provide a foundation that will encourage her to leave her stable environment to share her expenses with you. However, no woman will enter a relationship in the beginning to take care of a grown man, and if she is that desperate for your love and desire, then you deserve each other. I just hope that if she loses her job, you’ll still love this kind of woman the same. I am not talking about women who have children first, and sacrifice to wean the man and child to keep the family together. These are circumstances. I say, if a woman decides to fall short of her expectations when acquiring a long term relationship with a man, I would hope that she is totally happy. This is what counts the most, and regardless of my opinion. I just know that the divorce rate is increasing. Money and finances are usually the culprit for break ups.
