How to Train Your Man Husband or Boyfriend
OK ladies, inspired by a book review in which the female author complains how she keeps training men up only to see the ‘next’ woman along get the full benefit - I thought I’d bring you my summary of some of her tips on …
How to Make the Most of Your Man !
Sort His Wardrobe Out
It seems this is the place to start, men cannot be left to buy their own clothes or dress themselves.
Lots of cunning ploys are needed to get your fella into the shops and once there be firm and don’t let him choose anything. If he does it will only be tracksuit trousers and a T shirt
Organize Both Him and His Life
Men cannot be left to organise anything like a party, function or event !
Indeed, pretty much nothing according to Charlotte Ward.
Single simple tasks are OK but nothing multiple in nature.
As to remembering dates etc - forget it - don’t even try.
The only answer is to buy a Girls Aloud calendar and mark everything on there - at least you know he’ll look at it
Stop Him Drinking With His Friends
The phrase “I’m just going for a couple of quick pints with the lads” does in fact mean an 8 hour bender with him coming home legless at 3am in the morning.
Nip it in the bud.
Make Him More House Proud
Lack of cleaning after he goes, dirty socks everywhere all needs sorting out.
As does getting him to do the fair share of housework and looking after kids if applicable.
Breaking Bad Man Habits
Men have a multitude of bad habits which all need hammering out of them, the sooner you start the better as the longer you leave it the harder it will get
Right then ladies and gentlemen what have I missed or what needs expanding on.
Bear in mind I have written the above, and will lose a lot of Man Points for it I’m sure.
The basic headlines in bold are roughly those used by the author as is the order they’re in.
Two things struck me as a man reading it:
1: I don’t need training (well I think I don’t)
2: It’s no wonder I’m not married 
Here’s a chance for the women to stick it into the men and for the men to admit things and come clean !

Rod, I don’t have any bad habits - because I’m not a monk!

pleased to hear you are a man in need of no change.
I too am not a monk - though I do live like one

In my experience, men are beyond help.
Try as us ladies may, nag scream, shout, explain whatever, you men will do whatever you want.

Rod,
As one old flame said to us ….’I'm faithful, what more do you want’?…. here’s a short list we replied, but since the two of us are not going to change let’s shake hands and bear no ill feelings.
…’Love me for myself alone and not my yellow hair’ as one poet said, although he didn’t mention anything about warts and witches garb… obviously an oversight

To quote just a few:
“Nowadays all the married men live like bachelors and all the bachelors live like married men.”
If you see a man opening a car door for a woman, it means one of two things: it’s either a new woman or a new car
