Dudes, do women have handbooks?
Posted : 21 Jun, 2024 03:24 AM

I posted this under "Ask a Woman" also.



Do women have handbooks?  I was told by one she was giving me one on how to handle her, meaning how I need to act to be with her. I reserve sarcasm here 🙄. I didn't think any lady had handbooks and have a few thoughts and would like opinions. I think she meant it was a nice gesture and i appreciate it, but then again...? Here's my thoughts:



She likes me and is telling me she wants me to be the one because she has, but also said she won't change



Which means i have to acquiesce when she keeps telling me I could be "the one" but i need to change?



By giving me a "guide" is she telling me how its gonna be and i  have to go by her book, meaning she's controlling?



She's a conceited flake



All the above

Maybe AIs and those who think they are have operation handbooks.

AI or not, sounds like you’re flying into a spiders web.

If she’s real, she’s obviously using “The Eve’s Curse Handbook”. Ultimately, her desire will be to control her husband.

Genesis 3:16 NLT

Then he (God) said to the woman, “I will sharpen the pain of your pregnancy, and in pain you will give birth. And 👉👉you will desire to control👈👈 your husband, but he will rule over you.”

Some women recognize this tendency in themselves as a result of Eve’s sin and resist it, others put the pedal to the metal with full speed ahead.

I’m not saying the man doesn’t share some responsibility.

Men must be gentle with their wives and not be harsh with them.

Colossians 3:19 NIV, Husbands, love your wives and do not be harsh with them.

NLT, Col 3:19 Husbands, love your wives and never treat them harshly.

Wish the Bible were their handbook.

Romans 2:15, They show that the requirements of the law are written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts sometimes accusing them and at other times even defending them.

2 Corinthians 3:2, You yourselves are our letter, written on our hearts, known and read by everyone.

2 Corinthians 3:3, You show that you are a letter from Christ, the result of our ministry, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts.

Exodus 13:9, This observance will be for you like a sign on your hand and a reminder on your forehead that this law of the Lord is to be on your lips.

Deuteronomy 6:8, Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads.

Deuteronomy 11:18, Fix these words of mine in your hearts and minds; tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads.

1 Peter 3:5, For this is the way the holy women of the past who put their hope in God used to adorn themselves. They submitted themselves to their own husbands.

Hebrews 8:11, No longer will they teach their neighbor, or say to one another, ‘Know the Lord,’ because they will all know me, from the least of them to the greatest.



LittleDavid, people often site those verses you mentioned, but more often forget Titus 2:4. "Then they can urge the younger women to love their husbands and children."

I agree W&T, the Bible is the only “handbook”. Thanks for posting the verse from Titus

Thank you guys. My patience had run out. Yes she was real, i had live chats with her. I encouraged her to move away from me and gseek ounseling from an older Christian woman and read Proverbs 31. She didn't want me to go, but kept telling me i couldnt do the same things she was doing with others in a chat. She was gonna do what she wanted, so it was control. I even tried appealing in a deeper sense. Unreal. It's no wonder her fiancé ran when the wedding plans were about to ramp up. I do have feelings for her, she is not a bad person, just bad for me. Someone else can try to appease the beast inside the beauty

Every woman is a Proverbs 31 woman.

Either Proverbs 31:3

Or Proverbs 31:12.

I am hoping for a Proverbs 31:12 woman.

But a wife of noble character, WHO CAN FIND? (Proverbs 31:10)

Yep! I had a woman reel me in once.

She cost me millions of dollars.

It began like this on the internet.

Then I sent her money to come to the U.S., but she never came.

Then after a couple years, I was cutting off the correspondence, but she did not want to let go, and she lied to keep me investing in her.

She was a costly mistake.

The good in the evil is I have a couple kids. The kids were a good gift from God.

But the woman was like me leaving the Garden of Eden or for Samson getting his eyes plucked out.

Such is life!

You were wise to get out. You saw things clearly and got out.

Trouble for those who stay in after wisdom tells you "Get out!"

You’re right rbj, I know what you’re saying.

Those pretty eyes, fine hair and all that maga charm looking up into me makes me just wanna ignore the warning lights and alarms going off.

Like my old maid senior friend said to me years ago, “I’d rather be single than to WISH I was”
