I'm with my partner here. Really nice to have you play along in our little writeoff, and I laughed like hell. Please stop talking with my wife now.

They still haven't figured out that we give points just for trying any of it!

Yea, right.

I thought that you might actually be on to something, so last night I lit some candles, brought out the champagne, looked deeply into her eyes and said, "I love you Rebecca." That's when she floored me with a left hook. Seems that her name is Doris. Shouldn't she at least have been grateful for the champagne and candles?

I don't mind his supreme rule over the BBQ...but here's the thing.... he's watching the chicken so he can flip it in 30 minutes...

meanwhile, I'm mixing the potato salad, fixing baked beans, tossing a salad....

And he has the nerve to yell 'bring me a beer!'

*blank stare*

Me: why can't you get a beer?

Nick: because I'm cooking dinner.

aaaayeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Hey Donna,

What the men think is that it is all or nothing with the advice here. They still haven't figured out that we give points just for trying any of it!

I recognize my man in there. I don't stand a chance at any of the things you mention under DO, it's just not him to think that far. His idea of foreplay is shutting up so he doesn't say something stupid that ticks me off that night.

DO tell your woman you love her. That’s a gift all in itself. Look at her when you tell her, preferably at her face, and for God’s sake, remember her name.

You're expecting us to remember three things to do and one not to do. So what's wrong with just staring at her chest and saying, "Hey you. Get me a beer, wouldya?"

Hey, thanks for the comparison... I consider it a compliment! Sorry you only found it "helpful" due to the amount of satire. But that's what it was supposed to be. That's why it's in the Writer's Corner and not under advice. Tongue-in-cheek.

by gtruperman
Thanks You. Buried in the satire is some good advice for us - eh hem..Manly men. But damn it really goes against our nature and a guys gotta sell out to make some of this work. But it's like money in the bank, brownie points and get outta jail free cards when it pays off.
