How Should Women Treat Men?

[quote name='MakeYouThink' post='1641757' date='Aug 29 2008, 03:18 PM']Girls should laugh at all of our bad jokes.[/quote]
I try, but sometimes they're just too bad.

[quote name='Ash Wednesday' post='1641773' date='Aug 29 2008, 04:28 PM']As a soon-to-be-wife and someone who grew up in a house of men with a small army of older brothers, I'll say this:

I think women need to be more straightforward with men if something is really bothering them. Too often I think we expect guys to be psychic or quickly able to pick up on the subtle nuances when we're mad about something.

If he says "What's wrong?" and you say "NOTHING!!!!" ( ) In my experience they just walk away, assume you have a headache and go solder or fix something if you say that. So don't suddenly blow up at them if they don't "get it" if you haven't flat out told him what's wrong.[/quote]

We need to let them be our heros. We need to let them fuss over us, open doors for us, and treat us like ladies, and make us feel safe and protected. Then they feel like they are king of the world. We in turn need to domesticate them if their mums neglected this task. We need them to know that we do need them and love them, not in words, but in actions. So give them the remote, a backrub, a good cooked meal, and loving arms at the end of the day.[/quote]


So umm...if I give you her cell number will you call my wifey?

Need you to negotiate a trade off - I'll do the cooking part in exchange for more of the backrub part.

Sorry, I totally beat everyone to this... on, like the second reply or something.

[quote name='Nihil Obstat' post='1640651' date='Aug 28 2008, 02:16 PM']Guys are kinda dumb. We need things to be obvious for us.
We're just like women, except completely different. [/quote]

Aw... Doesn't it mean more when we recognize our stupidity?
I guess I can't argue with you though.

Good point.

Observations from 15 years of bledded wiss:

1. I cannot carry cash. When I try, it disappears from my wallet.
2. Yes Dear is the only way to end a conversation.
3. I know she lets me think I win an argument, I think.
4. Only look at other women if they are left handed Irish redheads carrying a beer.
5. My ring has shrunk around my finger. I cannot remove it even if I wanted to.
6. She wants me to leave the seat up and I want it put down
7. I hope she doesn't become her mom.
8. I pray she doesn't become my mom.
9. Coffee in the morning tames the grr-beast.
10. Flowers never go out of style.
11. Somehow, she can never have too much jewelry...or shoes...or clothes...or hair products.
12. I have to have smoochies in the morning and when I come home from work or my day is shot.
13. Still love her every day of my life for ever

Smart man.

I am convinced that men ARE psychic and that they fake they are not just to try to get us to not nag.
