What Women Wished Their Men Knew
o(^.^)o Bit diva, but quite an amusing read overall:
1) If you don't act like soap-opera guys, don't expect us to dress like Victoria's Secret models.
2) There is no such thing as too much spooning.
3) We like you to be a little jealous . . . but overly possessive is not necessary.
4) We're allowed to be late . . . you are not.
5) We don't like getting our asses caressed in public, thank you very much.
6) Don't take longer to get ready than we do. Metro or not, that's our prerogative, not yours.
7) Laugh at our jokes.
8) Let us have the last word. Witty banter is one thing, but arguing for the sake of argument is annoying, so shaddup.
9) Girls can be groupies. Guy groupies are stalkers.
10) Open the door for us no matter where we are . . . even at our house and getting into the car.
11) We like to be kissed softly, not with biting and a wriggling eel of a tongue.
12) Pay attention to the little things we do, because they mean the most.
13) Don't act distant with us around your friends.
14) Carry our bags for us if you know we're tired or it's heavy without us having to ask. It raises you in our eyes and that of every other girl walking past.
15) If we wanted to be on video tape, we'd be a porn star not your girlfriend.
16) “Wife Beaters” are not an adequate form of fashion.
17) Makeup that took us an hour to finish was not meant to be messed up in two seconds by amorous attentions at a social function.
18) Sensitive guys are great . . . but crying more than we do at a movie just ain't right.
19) Silent treatment, shoulder shrugs, tears, yelling and nasty looks all add up to . . . YOU DID SOMETHING WRONG!
20) You don't have to spend a lot, if it means a lot.
21) Whatever you do, don't just show up at our house without notice...we run around in our underwear just like you do. Don't get any ideas.
22) Most of us don't mind paying half of everything, but we do discuss these things with our friends. Realize that if you make us pay half all the time, everyone will know about it and your friends will know you're a pussy.
23) Make sure we get home safely as often as you can. If you're dropping us off, walk us to the door. If you aren't dropping us off, call to be sure we're home safely.
24) If a guy is bothering us, it is your right to beat the shit out of him.
25) If you're talking to a close female friend of yours, PULL YOUR GIRLFRIEND CLOSER.
26) NEVER ever slap us, even if it's just in a joking way. Even if we swat you first, and say, "Oh, you're so dumb" or something, never make any gestures back.
27) If we're officially dating, and you're introducing us to your friends, you'd better damn well introduce us as your "girlfriend".
28) Girls are fragile. Even if you're play fighting/wrestling, be very gentle.
29) Don't marinade the cologne, but smell good.
30) Don't give us something stupid or repetitive for our birthday/Christmas/Hanukkah/Valentine's day/etc. When in doubt, ask. It doesn't have to be expensive, but it should at least be meaningful/useful/pretty.
31) After you've been dating for a while, realize that we really have started to trust you. When you have a girlfriend who truly trusts you, you have a lot more responsibility, privilege and control than you would think. Be careful with it, most guys would kill for that kind of power, and it can be lost in a nanosecond.
32) NEVER, and we mean NEVER make us do anything we don't wanna do. Because if you do we'll think that you're only after one thing. Sex.
33) Stay up all night with us when we're sick, or at least cuddle us to sleep. Not only men like to get babied when they are sick.
34) Let us wear your clothes.
35) Kiss us in the pouring rain.
36) When we run up to you crying.. the first thing you say is.. "Whose ass am I beating today, baby?"
37) The little things are what matter the most. You don't have to do grand gestures. No matter how busy you are or how many kids you have, it's the really simple thoughtful things like grabbing flowers on the way home or writing a small love note or just a BIG hug out of nowhere, a dvd and a pizza just showing us you want to be there with us that is the key.
38) Show our feet a little TLC. Bad day or not, if we've been running around, our feet are probably sore. Worse if high heels were involved. Prepare a foot bath for us and follow it up with a short foot massage.
39) Surprise us once in a while by making a lunch for us to take to work. It's an opportunity to be both thoughtful and romantic, since you can also slip in a love note or a flower. Furthermore, you can buy an individual slice of cake or pie from the grocery store, or some other dessert you know we like.
40) The love letter or love note is an amazing thing; little effort is required to write us one, and yet you can express so much that you may not be comfortable expressing verbally. So write us a few creative, unique love notes and leave them in unexpected places around the house. For example, in the morning, tape one to the bathroom mirror or to the coffee machine.
41) Bring us breakfast in bed. A classic gesture, breakfast in bed is the proverbial "oldie but goodie." Get up early on a Saturday or Sunday morning and prepare breakfast just the way we like it, with toast, fresh fruit, cinnamon buns, whatever. Then surprise us by serving it to us in bed.
42) Don't be too shy to hold our hand in public because that might make us think that you're ashamed to be seen with us. Be confident. Be proud of being our boyfriend.
43) When we come home from a horrendous day at work. We're exhausted and even a little bad-tempered. So what do you do? Offer to give us a massage. Using aromatherapy oils, focus on our neck and back, the areas that tend to tense up under stress and cause aches and pains. You can create a conducive ambience by dimming the lights and lighting candles; it creates a more relaxing and romantic environment.
44) In an argument, don't do or say things to us that are mean and spiteful. That will make us think that you're a maniac.
45) While we're in the shower or taking a bath, throw our towel in the dryer for a few minutes. When we get out, present us with the toasty towel. It's sweet and thoughtful and we'll love you for it.
46) There are appropriate times and places for affection. Kissing and intimate touching does not usually go over well in public.
47) Do not argue in public and cause a scene. This will humiliate us and we'll think twice about going out with you again.
48) Do NOT flirt with other girls at any time, especially when we're around. It means you're not loyal to your relationship with your girlfriend. Most girls view this as cheating.
49) Don't start getting lazy about how you look just because you think we're yours. Continue trying to impress us because we might just lose interest if you begin to slack off.
50) If you're with your friends, never ignore us and start talking with your friends only or walk off with them as if we're not there.
51) Become friends with our friends. It gives you more things in common with us. Eventually, our friends will love you, and that's a definite brownie point in our eyes.
52) Make a good impression on our parents. Even if you don't particularly like them, they can be your greatest allies in the long run.
53) Be a gentleman. Ask us if we're cold when it's chilly; have a jacket or a sweater handy so you can give it to us.
54) Hold our hand at the movies or when we're walking together.
55) Get us something just because. Make us happy with little gifts. Small things like a single flower or a bag of our favourite candy or a chocolate bar will go a long way. Girls love that.
56) Remember what we like and dislike. How do we like our eggs cooked? What is our favorite flower? Morning person or morning banshee? We will be very impressed that you have been paying attention.
57) Regular innocent touches are important. Even the slightest touch can make a woman feel special. Hold our hand, give us a hug, randomly kiss the top of our head or gently touch our face. These gestures will all make us feel protected and loved.
58) Always stand up for us no matter what. It shows us that you are always on our side. Even if you think we're wrong, only tell us this in private.
59) Whatever you do, never offend our friends.
60) Do not cause an argument that isn't necessary.
61) Clinginess is not attractive.
62) You may state your opinion in a neutral tone, but never try to make us conform to what you think we should or should not wear. We already have a dad.
63) Don't call us up frequently to check up to us, find out where we are or who we're with. That is creepy and stalker-ish, and we'll feel like you're trying to control us.
64) Beware of every single male relative and all guy friends. Any of them would kick your ass at the drop of a hat, and a lot of them wouldn't even wait for the hat.
