Man Buckets

A good and gay friend sings and dances to "It's Raining Men" like no other queen I've ever seen. But, in this post I'm not talking about the abundance of the opposite sex, rather how I personally group the interaction between myself and the relationships with them over the years. It's a great system. One that can be optimized for yourself.

In a lot of ways it may even help organize and analyze exactly what the hell it is you've been doing all this time (whether you're single or a couple).

Here's the bucket breakdown (I've clearly excluded the names for private purposes):

• The one's that change you - these tend to be the ones that make the biggest splash in your world; you usually cry and strive for these
  
• The ones that are just for fun - kick off your prim n' proper boots; these are the ones that are for fun and laughter (no tears should be shed on these guys)
  
• The ones that are better in your mind than in reality - where to begin...these can range from Justin Timberlake to the ones that ended up a disappointment
  
• The ones that want you more than you want them - this is self explanatory; no matter how hard you try (or not) they'll always overdo it and want to be with you more than vice versa
  

The kicker with the "man buckets" is being able to honestly put them in their correct bucket. This is where the biggest challenge lies. It's easy to play the tough girl and group the ones that didn't work out into "just for fun" but lets be honest here.

So what do you do once you recap and group?

Get over the "what if's" and maybe he'll come backs - move onto something new and focus on what you want versus the patterns of what you had.

The "just for fun" guys can be a single girls best friend and fast track to instant happiness. But, understand that these guys will never be the kind of guy you want to be in a relationship with. If you can keep these guys in this bucket, you'll save yourself regretted text messages and tears when you find out he's dating someone new.

Whether you strongly agree or not, the idea for the "man buckets" is to wake up and realize what kind of relationship you really want and not the kind of relationship family or friends want for you.

This can also work quite well for guys to recap the kinds of relationships they've had with women.

Think about it. And have fun recapping.
