Aug 28, 2015

Playboy Bunnies

As a man, I can confidently say that it’s in our nature to look at attractive women. If you just act jealous and flip out when we do, it shows us that you’re insecure. Being insecure is a very big turn off for guys. If you find that you’re constantly jealous when he’s around other women, you need to reevaluate some issues in this relationship.

He wants to be your hero — so let him.

Most men don't cheat because they don't love you anymore. Men cheat because they want more variety in their sex lives.

So, here are 10 ways to prevent your man fromcheating:
