K.U.P.I.D, Inc.: Boris Kodjoe Tweets ‘How To Be A Man’

Boris Kodjoe & Claudia Jordan

Aside from the normal e-thugging that occurs on twitter on any given day, it’s a breath of fresh air when you can catch a good healthy discussion or debate, especially when it pertains to relationships. Over the weekend, actor Boris Kodjoe gave some good insight into what a ‘Good Man’ should be while conversing with model/actress Claudia Jordan. Claudia tweeted that her mother told her to find ‘some rich, ugly producer and marry him’ because of her troubles with finding a quality man in LA. Boris responded:

“Why he gotta be ugly? Honestly, I think LA is cancerous for relationships. The hustle mentality and ‘gotta make it’ attitude keeps people from cultivating a real connection. No one has time to take anyone in. Everyone is self-centered and wants to ‘keep it moving’ Dudes here are so insecure that they have to switch up a girl every week to hide their ‘weaknesses’. A real man embraces them!”

From that response, he went on to create the trending topic, #How2baMan, where he shared what he believes are qualities that all men should possess. Check them out below:

- Embrace your imperfections

- Laugh at yourself. A woman likes a man who doesn’t take himself too serious.

- Fix or build something with your hands. It’ll show her that you are capable of taking care of a home.

- Know how to cook and clean. It’ll show her that you don’t need her but that you WANT her.

- Get your passport and travel. A man needs to see the world.

- Communicate without cursing. You don’t need to curse to make a point. Cursing shows lack of substance.

- In bed, take care of your woman first. When she’s satisfied you are DA MAN!!!

- Stay in shape. It’ll show her that you care about yourself and therefore are able to care about her.

- Take care of your responsibilities. Anything less is unacceptable. A boy is irresponsible, not a man.

- Open her her door and pull out her chair. It shows her that you honor traditional values. Trust me, she will
do the same.

- Be present! Take her in with your eyes and ears. Your attention will make her feel loved and she won’t
  ever nag you.

- Read a f—ing book! (Sorry, violation of ‘no cursing’ rule) But seriously, ignorance is a major turn-off.
   Book on tape will do.

- Have an ambition. You don’t need to be rich but you need to show direction and motivation. Keep a job!

- Last one for today: Treat a woman the way you would want your daughter to be treated. Anything less is
unacceptable.”

And I have one more to add to the list...........PULL UP YOUR D*MN PANTS!!!
