to all you Kiwis), I read a funny article in <u>The Press<\/u>.&nbsp; Just the title alone caught my attention: &quot;If you dump a woman she hates you, OK?&quot;&nbsp; So you knew I had to read on&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Well, this interesting article, by Barbara Ellen, explains in a light but serious-enough tone the hurt that women go through when a man breaks up with them.&nbsp; &quot;If you dump a woman,&quot; Ellen writes, &quot;however sweet she appears to be about it, she <em>hates you <\/em>[emphasis added]&#8211;do you get that?&nbsp; You have rejected her, probably completely wasted her time, and you want to remain &#8216;friends&#8217;?&nbsp; Fine, so long as you don&#8217;t mind having &#8216;friends&#8217; who would happily knit jumpers with your intestines.&quot;&nbsp; Funny, but frighteningly true.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, for men, breaking up with women is no walk in the park.&nbsp; Many times we wait ages to&nbsp;execute the deed we&#8217;ve wanted to do for weeks, months, even years.&nbsp; We start to feel guilty, start to wonder if we really can get another girl, and most of all, <em>start to fear that this girl could be some crazy psycho out to stalk and murder us!<\/em>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;My brother went through an episode like that&#8211;the girl he &quot;broke up with&quot; (it was really just more of a fling) didn&#8217;t go to bed,&nbsp;paced in his hallway all night, and kept <em>him <\/em>awake out of the very&nbsp;real fear that she could murder him in his sleep!&nbsp; When women are dumped, it doesn&#8217;t matter how nice you may have been about it: all THEY see is the bad!&nbsp; They go into freak mode, and there&#8217;s no stopping that.&nbsp; As Ellen writes,<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>&quot;Female dumpees are usually too busy in the aftermath of a dumping to sit down and think rationally about whether a man has been nice or not.&nbsp; They have to get on with the really important stuff (slashing tyres, burning down houses, eventually getting arrested).&nbsp; It&#8217;s a nightmare;there&#8217;s just so much to do.&quot;<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>A lighthearted commentary on a very serious issue.&nbsp; What&nbsp;should we men do when we no longer feel love (or horniness) in our heart for a woman?&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Well, as it turns out,&nbsp;there&#8217;s actually a company in Germany called&nbsp;<strong>Separation Services<\/strong> (I&#8217;m sure the German words for it are about 157 letters long) that has made a business out of doing the dumping for US!&nbsp; This is no joke: The company is run by a guy nicknamed &quot;Terminator&quot; (if only this were run out of Austria!) &quot;who, for a small fee, will do your dumping for you, offering a range of services from &#8216;sensitive phone call&#8217; to &#8216;personalized house visit&#8217; (the deluxe package featuring a &#8216;detailed explanation&#8217; about why they are getting dumped).&quot;<\/p>\n<p>Is this really how bad the dumping scene has gotten?&nbsp; Do we actually need men named Terminator to do the dumping for us?&nbsp; I mean, I never enjoyed dumping girls either, but I can&#8217;t see someone ELSE doing it for me!<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s a right way and a wrong way to breaking up with a girl, and I don&#8217;t see how hiring a guy named after an Arnold Schwarzenegger character could be listed in the &quot;Right&quot; category.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>On top of that, I disagree with what Ellen says about remaining friends; just because you break up with a girl does not automatically mean that her idea of being friends is stalking you and vandalizing your property.&nbsp; I&#8217;ve had more than a few breakups, but I&#8217;m actually still friends with most of the girls I broke up with.&nbsp; Sure, this was hurt, there was anger, there were long periods of not talking to one another.<\/p>\n<p>But you know what?&nbsp; I did the breakup with RESPECT and HONESTY, and when you do that, it&#8217;s only a matter of time til women see that, in fact, you WERE being nice about it.&nbsp; Sometimes they even thank you for it, seeing that you weren&#8217;t the right man for them and opened the door for a better one.&nbsp; The same, of course, applies to us men.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s actually GROWTH in dating; sometimes, all it takes is a breakup for someone to wake up and realize that they don&#8217;t need someone to find true happiness.&nbsp; A breakup can lead to bigger and better things, and better people.&nbsp; When people are honest with each other and with themselves, a break-up doesn&#8217;t have to lead to&nbsp;revenge or&nbsp;calling up a&nbsp;German dating termination service.&nbsp; Instead, it becomes an opportunity, a liberation, a fresh start.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>As Ellen admits,<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>&quot;It&#8217;s never pretty, but men should remember that if they dump well (kindly and with grace), it could be possible that, just a few tears and death threats later (perhaps a touch of light stalking), most women will be able to move on and rediscover the joys of single life.&quot;<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Well put&#8230;but light stalking and death threats don&#8217;t have to occur.&nbsp; Sometimes, a man and a woman can even put past differences and hurts aside enough to make up and start their relationship anew.&nbsp; I know a few couples who have done this, and it&#8217;s led to beautiful,&nbsp;blissful relationships.<\/p>\n<p>So,&nbsp;what&#8217;s the BEST way to determine if you should make up&#8230;or break up?<\/p>\n<p><strong>ANSWER: My &quot;How to Be Irresistible to Women&quot;
