It's everywhere! 10 Signs he's cheating, 10 Ways to know he's lying, 10 Body Languages that Give Away What he's thinking! But what about 10 wonderful ways to make your man feel special? Whether he's yours or even a friend let's take a little vacae from speaking badly about the men we can't stand but can't do without.

Here are 10 Wonderful things to do for your man.

1. Send him an inspirational text in the morning.
- When your man wakes from his night of sleep he's back to putting on the armor of Mega- Man! He's constantly having to prove to his asinine boss he's qualified, the thug next to him he isn't looking for trouble and the woman in his life (you) he can conquer the world and still give you that good loving you brag about to your girls. Help him to start his day off right. Say something quick, short and sweet.



2. Leave him a sexy note!
- Ladies, we're not the only ones that can appreciate surprises. Right as you hop out his car, sneak a sexy little note on his windshield or even in his clove compartment. Give him something to think about throughout the day.



3. Cook his favorite food.
- Even if you have to pull out that dusty cook book, look up a recipe of your man's favorite food and invite him over for dinner. Chanel your inner Rachel Ray and feed your man. We all know it's ONLY the gold- paved road to his heart!



4. Send him flowers
- Your man may be a man's- man but that doesn't mean he doesn't want to be wooed just like you do. Send him flowers as a sweet surprise.

5. Plan a date.
- Take the heat off him to find the restaurant, reservations and everything else and plan a date that not only you will enjoy but one that includes some of his favorite things.

6. Compliment him!
- When your man is at work he is constantly being told what to do (if he's not the boss. And even if he was no one cares to tell him how wonderful he is!). When he's around family he is being teased about his childhood but when he is around you, you should be sure to make him feel like he is a true dime piece. Take note if he got a new haircut, a new shirt and wearing a bright smile. Tell him he's handsome, charming and that you love and appreciate him. Remember, he doesn't hear this from anyone else so make sure he feels at home with you! And 'behavior you reward is behavior he repeats.' Reward him for the new haircut and he'll be more motivated to stay fly just for you.



7. Give him a massage
- Pull out the massage oils and give him a nice back rub. No one turns down a good back rub. Operative word: 'good!'

8. Wear something sexy- in his favorite color!
- Whether it's underneath or a full ensemble wear something sexy in his favorite color and he'll be sure not to forget that occasion or how amazing you looked.

9. Buy his favorite CD/ DVD/ Book/ Game
- Particularly if it's something he has been looking for for a while, purchase his favorite CD/DVD/BOOK/GAME and leave it somewhere for him to find.

10. Pray for/with him!
- There's nothing more powerful than prayer and here's one of the perfect ways to show your man you believe in him, you have a place for your God and for him and you want to make sure he is in safe keeping by the Big Man Upstairs.



*Proceed with caution! If your man makes no effort to make you feel special or to treat you with respect don't even begin. This is for the man that knows how to treat his woman and is in turn deserving of this kind of treatment.
