Advice for my boys
« on: February 18, 2003, 12:50:13 PM »

Some of you guys occasionally ask for advice with the ladies.  I came across a golden nugget of info this past weekend, and I figured I'd share it with you.  I know you older guys don't need it, but maybe the younger ones can benefit.

Anyway, I found out that every time my boyfriend and I part ways, he writes down everything I said that I like/want/need.  That way, when a special occasion comes along, he knows exactly what to get me.



Oh yeah, and here's some magic words for you..."You're such an awesome cook".  If you can say those words like you mean them, you're golden!  Believe me, it works.   :wink:

Yeah, I guess you guys are one step ahead of me.  I would have never thought of that.

My girlfriend and I constantly have little talks where she tells me things that I do (little things) that she likes, and little things that i do, that she likes.

Detta, all I can say is: You're such an awesome cook!


Now, here's advice from an even more experienced gentlemen: Forget the paper bit. I used to do that a while back. But the most important thing to a women is to be listened to. If you have to right notes, then your not listening hard enough. The key is simply to remember all of those things she wants or hinted about during the year. Then, suprise her. Do it on a regular day. Not x-mas, valentines, or her birthday. Just walk in one day, prepare supper, have a candle light dinner, tell her how you appreciate her and how much you love her, then hit her with the unexpected gift. It is much more appreciated when delivered this way because at x-mas and other holidays, they expect that stuff. But comming home from work on a tuesday and getting the royal treatment is always unexpected, unless you over do it. So don't!


Advice to the ladies: All the guys know how you like to be treated and appreciated. 30% of these guys actually show it. But what is the percentage of women that will give guys what THEY really want? Much lower unfortunatly. Now we chaps have special needs too. They normally involve alchool, or a nighht out with the guys, or simply spending 12 hours straight on the computer playing Day of defeat or some other cool game. So when we suprise you, shower you with gifts and worship the groud you walk on, keep in mind that once in a while, we really do need some personal, complety unproductive time. And it is in no way because we don't appreciate being with you. And we know you don't normally approve of these activities. But once in a while, just forget about everything and let use deal with our every day stress in a way we are naturally good at. It will really be appreciated, and in return, more special treatment will come your way.

Wow, I think Judge just swept me off my desktop. Keeps in mind if some man did all that for me I'd let him play on the computer for 24 hours straight, serve him his alcohol and let him have three nights out with the guys.

For the women:

There are only two things that you need to know in order to win over a man:


Bring food.
Show up naked.

Really?  Wow, that's a long time.  Good job!!

And if you remember the skinny guy...we're not still together.

As for the one I was talking about here, he forgot to write down the things I didn't want.  Like stealing my money and spending it on crack and then going (back) to jail.


Ah memories...make me realize how lucky I am to have Enrique.

I'm almost 20. But I know what you're getting at. Still being a guy I think I'm qualified to make a generalization about my gender.
