15 Things Women should know about guys.

15 Things Women should know about guys.

A Poem by Christopher Booyakasha

1. Time flies when you're a man: "There is 'man time' and 'woman time.' For men, time goes by faster than for women. Einstein tried to explain this with his theory of relativity and I think it was all about trying to get along with his wife. So, the next time a guy doesn't call or text a girl back right away or it's been two weeks since he last said 'I love you,' just remember that it doesn't mean he doesn't care it, it just means that time passes differently for him."
2. You're more powerful than you think: "In that single moment when you glance in our direction, we lock eyes, and all we feel is our heart beating through your chest, you have us. And there is absolutely nothing we can do about it!"
3. We like shopping with you...sometimes: "Things I wish women knew? If you trim your hair, don't get upset if we don't notice. Help us along by actually wearing it in a different style that day. Also, we actually like going shopping with you, as long as you let us pick out your outfit. And, sometimes we wonder why someone as amazing as you wants to be with us."
4. Your teenage tendencies are a major turn off: "A few things: Insecurity is a major turn off, using the acronyms 'lol,' 'lolz,' or 'rotfl' should not be used by any female above the age of 15, we don't like being called 'dude,' 'friend,' 'bro,' or any combination of the above because you are not our male friend, thinking Justin Bieber is cute is not cute, and finally, going to the bathroom in pairs is bewildering to us."
5. Confidence is sexier than any lingerie: "Men already love your body as it is but when you're confident, it's even more of a turn on! Along those lines…lingerie is way overrated!
6. We're stuck in the stone age. And we like it: "I wish women understood that no matter how much they may think their man is evolved, we are very basic. Even the most manscaped guy in a Brooks Brothers suit is a caveman at heart. Let us grunt and be ourselves and we will gladly drag your dinner home."
7. Let me think I'm the funniest guy you know: "Ladies, we don't like when you're laughing too hard at another man's jokes. Unless we're at a comedy club or he's your father, there's no reason for that.
8. We care about much more than looks: "Women need to know that looks aren't the only thing that matters to us. If I want to be in a relationship with somebody, I need to have a deeper connection with them than just the physical. The best thing that a woman could do to attract me is to be herself."
9. We're not so different: "At the gym, men are just as self conscious and check themselves out in the mirror just as much as women do. In regards to cooking, men can do more than BBQ. All you need to do is ask-but be sure to do it after the game! Oh, and, men do like salads, especially if they are topped off with bacon!"
10. I have no secrets: "I've always been told that women know everything. Is that not accurate?"
11. DVDs don't make the perfect gift: "I wish women knew that just because we talk about our favorite movie all the time, we don't want it on DVD as our Christmas gift. We already own it. Actually, we don't want DVDs period. It's 2012."
12. There's always an exception: "For every rule or guideline to dating that you read about in magazines, there is always an exception!"
13. Don't try so hard: "I wish women knew even though we appreciate you taking hours to get dressed and 'put on your face,' it's no longer necessary. Superficial beauty catches our attention but natural beauty keeps it."
14. Drop hints to avoid disappointing gifts: "When it comes to gift giving, I wish women knew that we are about as clueless as a five-year-old boy doing quantum physics. The pressure of nailing the best gift is enough to drive a man to tears. So, unless you give us a hint or just flat out tell us what you'd like, you are most likely going to end up with something unwanted. Like when I bought my wife tickets to see a wrestling match for our anniversary. She said she liked sports!"
15. We mean well: "As guys, we're always trying to do or say something with the best of intentions, but it always seems to backfire. We mean well. Give us the benefit of the doubt once in a while!"

this post was a lot better than most of the other "top things women should know about men, what men should know about women, etc etc--like all those cosmopolitan articles tend to be written about. you had some truth to a few!

but, there is.........an exception to all of this :)

Good!
going to the bathroom in pairs bewilders me too. Especially when you have to stand there awkwardly outside the stall and have a conversation with a girl in the stall just because she didn't want to be in there alone o.O lol girls are weird, and Avy's right. You don't get to pick our clothes because you can hardly pick your own xD great write though :)

lol probably...
lol (haha I SAID IT! And I'm 20. So there!)

We would probably buy the outfits you guys picked out more often if they weren't so god awful and left us wondering how you even dress yourself in the morning.

Other than that, great! :D
