What is wrong with man?

[MYKRLuciano]

I have a friend who has dated for a while and all she has to give is love and respect. And the man or boys the just disrespect her. I would like to know what should I advice.

I had the same problem. I decided to get therapy. I told the therapist I didn't want to reinforce my "poor me" attitude, but instead learn how to have a healthy, loving relationship with a person of the opposite sex! Your friend should look for a clinic that offers this free or on a sliding scale if she doesn't  have insurance. Tell her to give up Starbucks, fast food, cable TV, Netflix, etc. if need be so she can afford to go at least every other week. That's what I did, and I've been with the man of my dreams for 10 years now. By the way, your friend is lucky to have someone in her life who is so concerned with her well-being. God bless you!!!!

Your friend needs a counselor to help her gain "self-respect."  It is apparent to me that she lacks common sense and self-respect.  Help her fing a guy you think would be good for her.  But remember, it's not your responsibility to solve her problem.  She is the only one that can do that.  Sounds to me like you are a great friend.

This may seem extreme to some, but it is probably a good idea. She's clearly choosing the wrong guys and letting them get away with too much, which just makes them worse.

Some times just a couple of really good friends can help with the self respect. Never point out the bad always point out the good. I have a few really good friends who never let me put myself down and that has help a lot. Especially towards the guys I date. I have gotten pickier and finally found a guy who only wants me to be happy and tries his hardest to achieve that goal.

Well to me it sounds like she needs to wake up and see the reality of what her life is and what she thinks its worth.  If she wants more then she has to stand up and say she's not going to take it anymore and change it.  Stop doing the things she is doing and the type of guys she is seeking out (most likely the places she is going to find guys is the wrong place to look) Tell her to take stock of her life and figure out what she wants out of life and if she is will to change it then do it.  Women have to be strong these days b/c if we don't do it ourselves who will most of the time.  She is worth it so she needs to believe she is worth it and change it.
