Eat. Sleep. Sex. Ego. Work. Warfare (either
video games, fantasy sports leagues, verbal
sparring, paintball, MC rap battles, the
debate team, actual Physical sports)
Don’t sugarcoat things or think that they’ll
understand what you “REALLY” mean. They’re not
your best friend who will know that when you say
“I’m Fine,” what you really mean is that you need a
chick flick, Tivoed Oprah, junk food, a crying
session or retail therapy. Just like 1 + 1=2, if you
want a guy to do something, ask directly.
Dudes are competitive. Everything is based
on performance and a game-like mentality.
Understand this and pick your battles
wisely.
If you want to be taken seriously in a dude-
filled office, keep the skin-showing to a
minimum. You can rock the low-cut dressed
and revealing outfits for Friday nights at the
club. Or your local emo concert.
There is no need to be bitchy, but firmly
state your thoughts and point of view in a
clear and concise manner. There’s no
guarantee that they’ll listen to you, but you
will be heard.
