Men it's time to listen up! I am going to whip you into shape, and teach all you players out there how to have a successful and meaningful relationship with a woman. In a culture saturated with Hip-Hop music that reinforces the mistreatment of women; it is no wonder men do not know how to treat a lady these days. Follow and practice these six rules and you will be well on your way to great relationship.

Tip 1. Be a straight shooter. First thing first, do not try to impress a girl by telling her things that you think she wants to hear, but, aren't necessarily true. If you don't like 'chick flicks' then don't tell a girl you like 'chick flicks,' or you may spend many hours in a theater full of crying women wishing you were watching Die Hard 20. Let a girl know your likes and dislikes -- even if it means loosing common ground in some areas. She'll respect you more for being honest. And, when you do go and see a chick flick with her she'll appreciate it.

Tip 2. Trust her. Without trust, there is no relationship. If you've ever been burnt by a woman, then you may have some trust issues. Don't let one bad apple ruin the whole barrel for you. What I have noticed with people who have trust issues, is that they are the ones who can't be trusted. If you focus on being loyal to your partner, then, you'll trust her more when she is not around, too.

Tip 3. There are few things worse than settling in a relationship with a person you don't care for anymore. It's boring, it's miserable, it will slowly eat you alive. Don't let the safety of being with another person ruin both your lives if you know it's not meant to be -- break up. It's not an easy thing to do but you'll both be back on your feet in no time!

Tip 4. Do the little things. In a recent study in my mind, it turns out that the little things, like sending flowers and writing notes, are actually big things. A sincere note left in your girlfriend's purse will win you just as many points as a fancy dinner! Can you believe that? Well you should, because it's true and less expensive. I'm sure you can appreciate that in this economy. And if you're going to send her flowers take a little extra time and write some careful words -- it will make a difference.

Tip 5. You have to give respect to earn respect. No matter how close you and your partner become you will always be individuals. Respect that individuality and the fact that you two will not always see eye-to-eye. Never tease her during a fight or make her feel bad because you do not understand or agree with her (and vice versa) -- that's disrespectful.

Tip 6. Get along with her friends and family. If her family is absolutely "out of their minds," you better get along with them, and same with her friends. Try to always have a good time and keep a positive attitude when hanging out with her friends and family -- it will make a world of difference.

If you've made it to the end of this article and your eyes are popping out from their sockets, and it feels like your sitting in a sauna -- you may need some extra help like a 'playa' exorcism. Sorry, I stopped performing those. And for those saying, "I can do this," I invite you to give it a try. Remember to be honest, trusting, send flowers and notes, respect her and get along with her friends and family. And, if you make a mistake remember that nobody is perfect.
