Guy1: There's so many things I don't like about my girlfriend.
Guy2: "Focus on what she have, not what she don't have."

Is that supposed to be "Focus on what she has, not what she don't has."???. Which is correct, and why? Thanks in advance. ^_^

Focus on what she has, not on what she doesn´t have....... Sounds natural to me

She has or doesn't have is correct.

Third person singular, positive and negative responses.

Btw, Aikuzo you´r Guy#1 seems to have also problems with the verb forms:

Guy1 wrote:

should read: "There are so many things............................." shouldn´t it?

And thank you for confirming and explaining my comments, Kitosdad.

You guys are so awesome, thank you so much!

So it's like:
- One of the things that Law of Attraction states is that a man should focus on what he has, not on what he doesn't have.
- There're still so many things I do not know about verbs but I am having so much fun learning it! :D
