The Ugly Truth Movie: 7 Truths About Men - Part 2

The movie The Ugly Truth touched on real life battle-of-the-sexes issues with no holds barred. Gerard Butler’s character, Mike Chadway breaks into some touchy topics with such a storm of audacity and candor you can’t help but laugh.

Ladies, we’re going to be taking material from the movie and letting you in on some guy secrets.

In Part 1 of this article, we talked about the first three truths about men from Mike Chadway. Now, here are the last four “truths” from Mike C., as interpreted by me, Mark Edward Davis:

Mike’s Truth #4: Laugh at All of His Jokes

That may sound like a fake and shallow effort to feed his ego, but I’d like to offer you an alternate perspective. When anyone tells a joke; understand that they’re taking a social risk of rejection.

These are unique moments when even shy people get to be center stage; if only for the time it takes to tell that joke. I always laugh and enjoy their moment, even if I’d heard the joke before. Regardless of who you’re with; you’ll score points by laughing at their jokes. Mike has a valid point here.

Mike’s Truth #5: Don’t Complain or Talk About Your Problems

To watch this movie and see how badly the leading lady, Abby Richter, played by Katherine Heigl, interacts with her dates, it makes you want to leave the table yourself! She complains about the water and then cross examines her date as if he was there for a job interview.

The truth in the ‘don’t complain’ mandate is really about attitude. Vince Lombardi, a legendary football coach, said, “When you’re winning; nothing hurts. When you’re losing; everything hurts.” If a guy hears energy and optimism in your attitude; he knows he’s with someone who loves life. When he hears complaining and problems, it tells him he’s with someone who does not love life. Sorry for that bit of Ugly Truth, but that’s just the way guys are going to read it.

Mike’s Truth #6: Men are only interested in sex and beauty

Just today my wife and I were having a conversation with a mid-twenty something woman who said, “The movie confirmed that men have an order of importance when looking at a woman: body, face, and then mind.” Well, if you are talking about first impressions, that’s true.

But that’s kind of like saying I noticed the peacock’s feathers before its head. Isn’t that the point of beauty – to attract attention? Once you’ve started a conversation with a man he can become fascinated with you. However, if you want that guy to come over and have that conversation then you’ll need to be attractive – and most women know how to be attractive with what they were given.

Mike’s Truth # 7: Women are Control Freaks

As my wife pointed out; women may have been given this tendency by God so they can be protective mothers. That may be true for mothering, but if you treat guys that way; you’ll only attract the immature ones. Learn to be fascinated with how men lead and go with it. Have a little adventure.

The dirty little secret is that men are looking for women to appreciate the way they lead. The slightest words of encouragement will buy you more than you can imagine. He’ll want to stay around to hear more words of praise and admiration.

If you are trying to attract a man, don’t you want to know how he thinks and what he’s looking for? Thanks to The Ugly Truth, many guy secrets are now out in the open. And, honestly, they’re hoping you were taking notes.
