How to be a Man to a Woman, the Manly Way

King of Madison Avenue presents: How to be a man for your lady, the manly way.

1. Don't hold her purse - at least not in public. Instead, grab her shopping bags. But, not all of them. She is capable of carrying at least two - grab the rest out of being a pure gentleman. 
2. Open the door for her. Just do it, dude.
3. Cook with her. 
4. Don't go rambling through her phone. It create trust issues and then she feels entitled to ramble through yours. Don't cheat, and trust will stand it's ground.
5. Have your free time. It's cool to want to watch sports (alone - or with a few buddies), eat dinner (alone), or go out for drinks (alone - or with a few buddies) on occasions. People need space.
6. Buy manly stuff. Grills, autographed baseballs, Gucci ties, and the occasional handbag (not for yourself, of course... but for her.) 
7. Laugh at her jokes. Even if they're lame. I'm pretty sure she laughs at your "not-so-funny jokes as well).
8. Take her places. Places that she likes, and well as places she doesn't know she likes yet. Even if it's a place that you like, it will grow on her.
9. Be her support system. Always.
10. Again, don't cheat. Nobody finds that attractive. 

Designer vs Regular

Labels are entirely too important to this generation. But don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with splurging on a few expensive items here and there. You know, that's what we work so hard for. It's okay to buy ourselves a Gucci travel bag or a YSL belt. We're adults and we're are more than allowed to do as we please. You know? I have even bought my lady a few handbags.... Very. Very. Very. Expensive. Handbags. I almost  forgot my religion when I saw the price of that Prada bag. But hey, she deserves it.

"Swagg" is nothing

What's with the word "swagg," and is it really necessary to add two g's at the end of this meaningless word? "Swagg" doesn't pay bills. "Swagg" doesn't keep your wife/girlfriend happy. "Swagg" doesn't get you to work everyday. It doesn't do anything but built up the imaginary self-esteem us men have going on inside our heads. I'll tell you what matters though. A nice tie, a clean suit, a luxury travel bag for business and pleasure trips, ironed jeans, shoes that make women want to cook us a feast. We can't keep depending on "swagg" to make our lives worth something. We're worth something.
