Great Lover, Huh?

Salome Mitter speaks for all women as she puts down her list of must-haves in a man. Do rise to the occasion, gentlemen!

If you wept buckets after watching LA LA LAND, chances are the tear ducts prickled again, watching Ryan Gosling’s Best Actor acceptance speech at the Golden Globes. “While I was singing and dancing and playing piano and having one of the best experiences I’ve ever had on a film, my lady was raising our daughter, pregnant with our second and trying to help her brother fight his battle with cancer,” shared Gosling. “If she hadn’t taken all of that on so I could have this experience, it would surely be someone else up here other than me today, so, sweetheart, thank you.” Hearts, which anyway are in melt mode every time Gosling appears, were in a state of complete squish by now. And on the off chance that his partner and mother of their kids, Eva Mendes, was nursing any rancour, his words must have wiped it all clean.

Yes, gentlemen, it isn’t so very difficult to win your woman – body, mind and soul. A little sensitivity goes a long way. As do a few other factors...

Respect... Breathes there a man who doesn’t believe he respects his woman? But do you truly accept and admire her for her great qualities, some of which even beat yours hollow? If it’s just the external package you’re proud of, sorry, but chances are she wants to be respected for more than being awesome eye candy.
