Do men get bored easily?
My friend Paul used to warn me about keeping things spicy in my relationship: “You don’t want to ever let things get stagnant. Men get bored easily.” That’s great advice, now who is telling my man the same thing, because women get bored too, right?
There is some work involved in keeping your man’s attention. It is easy to get too comfortable and complacent. That’s when things start getting less sexy. However, should women really worry about men getting bored too easily? Why is it always on the woman to keep things hot?
Men, do you agree that some men get bored easily? What happens when he does get bored? Does that lead to wandering eye and seeking attention from other people?

Men, do you agree that some men get bored easily? Hard one for me to answer, bored is not part of my vocabulary, can always find ways to spice things up.
Why is it always on the woman to keep things hot? If it is, sounds like it’s time to find a new man!!
There is some work involved in keeping your man’s attention. There is??? Maybe I need forward this to my lady (LOL)

Good Morning,
Topic: Men, do you agree that some men get bored easily?
No, we will always throw ourselves into our work or apply focused energy into an activity, whether the activity is a new hobby, a new job, or new strange (we get into the activity and not so much the person).
I think women are the opposite; they focus more on the person rather than the activity. If they’re enjoying the company, they enjoy the activity.

hey guys. good morning. bored smored. lol. some eyes are going to wander no matter how much spice is in the relationship. if you pay attention you might just catch someone looking at a picture of your friend on a bookshelf while they are on the downstroke. it’s just like that sometimes.

Women get bored too. Aren’t they always the ones looking for the bad boy? If your relationship is too “boring”, then work harder to make it less so or find someone else who’s equally “boring”. Could be there’s a compatibility issue in your relationship, and no amount of spicing up is going to resolve that.

…should women really worry about men getting bored too easily? – I think so, but it shouldn’t rest solely with the woman to prevent his boredom.
Why is it always on the woman to keep things hot? – I’d beg to differ. The man needs to keep his allure up. The same way he got her, he needs to work on keeping her. Both parties are equally obligated to keep the relationship fresh, exciting, devilish, and decadent!

On topic – Some folks eyes are just going to wander regardless and there is not much you can do about it. All both parties in the relationship can do is give their best. If someone still wants to look elsewhere, then again, nothing you can do about it.

He does play Dungeons and Dragons, though, which is not something I can share with him! He’s also a gamer. Not the type of dude I thought I’d be interested in, but I’m thinking that’s a good thing.

Men that bore easily IN MY OPINION, tend to be unstable and always that dude or those dudes that are skirt chasers or chasing a constant puddy high. As we all know, a high is as good as one hit. Ask any crackhead. Time and “growing” up should help cure some of that. Developing a conscious should be another source to getting cured…lol As you and your boo
continue to mesh and grow and relate, keeping things spicey is fomulaic to keeping satisfied and pleased with each other and none others. Too, you can define “spicey” to what works for you. Everybody’s level of spice ain’t the same. I always say I’m not trying to break nothing but I’m happy to take it there with you…again as long I don’t end up in the ER…lol
Men will always “look”, it’s in their DNA. The difference though, IMO in wondering eyes versus wondering heart. I feel nothing about you taking a peek, heck I look madangself. But as long as you keep with home, it’s all good.

We took a break from the martial arts, but with soccer season over we are going to get back into it. It’s not as disruptive of our time as having 2 kids playing on 2 different soccer teams. I was also getting started to teach them both piano, so now I can get back to that – all on our own schedule!

Why is it always on the men to keep things hot?
I have noticed several times that it’s the man who has to keep the conversation going. That’s one thing I dislike about dates. There are some women who behave as if they felt that if you don’t keep the conversation going, you’re either not interested, or you’re “out for only one thing”.

Albert – If there is a lot of uncomfortable silence when you’re on a date with someone, it probably means you guys are not compatiable. Neither of you should have to “keep the conversation going”. It should flow naturally. Then, if there is silence between the two of you at times, it’s not uncomfortable. That’s when you know you are really clicking with someone. You don’t really run out of things to talk about.
If a dude is “out for one thing”, it’s pretty apparent, and no need for much conversation!

“Men, do you agree that some men get bored easily?”
If your man gets bored easily because he is busy playing video games or playing with his electronic gadgets (phones, pads, tablets, etc.), fake a headache and give me a call when he leaves your house. I get bored watching TV or going to work. I never get bored when my woman is around seeking my attention. I love having her un-divided attention and listening to all her wants and needs. I feel “wanted” when she is talking to me in person rather than on the phone or sending text messages. Guys, spend time talking to your woman if you feel bored and turn the TV off.

“Does that lead to wandering eye and seeking attention from other people?”
From my life experience’s you have 2 types of people with “wandering eyes”. For example I have known women who are “flirty”. They look at every guy that come into the room hoping to make eye contact to satisfy their curiousity. “Flirty” women bring unwanted attention and are dangerous. They put their man in harms way just because of their “flirty” nature. Some men feel they must protect their honor and confront other men who desire their “Flirty” woman.
Some men are “Con-Artist” who look to take advantage of any and all opportunities. For example they have the “gift of gab” and can talk their way out of any situation. Con-Artist will prey on women who are insecure and lack self esteem. They will appear to genuinely care but are selfish men only looking out for themselfs and will use women for their own personal gains.
Beware of the “wandering eyes”

That’s a pretty broad stroke right there…as humans men/women will look, hell we’re in a relationship we aren’t blind or dead. It’s the way a man/woman looks that could draw ire from another person…regardless of who it is. On the flip, there are some jealous men out there who tend to put themselves in harms way when they think someone else is checkin out their woman..and it’s not anyone’s honor they’re protecting, it’s their fragile egos..

I watched “New Girl” last night and one girl had a costume that I loved! She had a tiara and a cape with stuffed dogs and cats glued to it and said she was “raining cats and dogs.” For two years, I was a black eyed pea. I had a t-shirt with a P drawn on it and drew a black eye. Wore a funky wig too. I like the play on words costumes…
