Tired of being taken for granted? Sick of being taken for a ride? Well, the fault could begin in the way you interact with people. It could well be possible that you start any interaction appearing to be meek, over-polite and faint-hearted; giving the impression to others that this guy can easily be trod upon.

Its time you learn how, where and when to draw the line. Its always good to appear tough on the outside with a soft core, rather than the opposite. Start firm; loosen later, so that people are abundantly clear that you are truly a no-nonsense person.

Set your own standards of expectations from people. How much of what do you exactly want from people? One of mans biggest fears in interacting with others is the fear of rejection. But once you make it clear about what values you stand for and what you expect, people start taking you seriously.

They stop messing around with you, your privacy and you life in general. For instance, when a woman hurts your sentiments, say firmly or let her know in as many words that you are ready for such nonsense. Either she amends her ways or lets call it quits. Even if she quits, she will regard you and leave in grace.

Next important thing in life is to have a mission. An objective, an aim, that you live for, you work towards. This focus in life really sets the balance and does not let even a moment of your life go waste. Imagine the lives of some great men who walked this planet.

How is it that they did not have problems with women? Simply because they were adding value to their own lives and to the world at large, everyday of their lives, through their sole mission. And this focus and aim, truly attract worthy women.

Take some time off for yourself and do a recap of the past, your present and where you want to go. What this life means to you. What are you going to leave behind, when you are no longer there? Its not difficult to imagine.

You need not climb the Mount Everest, or take a solo engine flight across Atlantic, or for that matter be a great philanthropic soul create hundreds of hospitals for the poor; its far more simpler than that like creating a stable and loving family, or taking a step towards eradication of social abuse in your own neighborhood! Believe me; these attributes in a man are simply irresistible to women.
