Many articles are written about what women love and hate about a man. There may be many articles written about what guys like about girls, but I haven't seen them. So yea. I'm being original. :P
Anyway, this particular scribe's about what I love and hate about women. And I may even have some accuracy as far as this is concerned, so if the males want to leave feedback, feel free to do so. If any girls object...also feel free to comment.
What men LOVE about women:
1) We love a woman that smells good. No matter how you look, if you smell intoxicating, we stick around. And even tolerate a little more than usual. So if you're gonna bitch us out over wet towels, using your toothbrush, or not pulling out when you told us to, wear our favorite perfume. Not a WHOLE lot. But enough for it to leave it's scent when you hug us or smack us, depending on the situation.
2) We love a woman who's strong willed. The perception is a dude loves girls that can be talked into anything. Far from it. Men like a challenge. We like to chase to an extent. We also like it when you have an opinion on something. Even if you don't agree, don't be afraid to voice it. It's how good conversation takes place.
3) We love a woman that nurtures us. We're not saying feed us strawberries or dresses us. We like having our back scratched or our shoulders rubbed. We also don't mind a girl who may bake cookies if they notice their mate's down in the dumps.
4) We love it when you just get out of the shower. Nothing's sexier than a woman who is just out of the shower, hair still somewhat damp and either in a robe, towel, or nothing. And sure most women don't want to be pounced and sexed up as soon as they clean off, but we don't have to have sex... but some TLC's pretty damn cool.
5) We love it when you randomly text us or call just to say hello. It lets us know you're thinking about us. Guys dig that. We also dig the random things that are said or texted.
6) We love it when you listen to us. Girls talk about guys who fail to listen all the time. Same goes for us. We notice when you trail off or aren't interested in what we say. If we notice you're tired, we can keep it short and to the point...at least make the effort to listen though.
7) We love it when you're honest with us. Yes, even if it's something bad, guys are all about a woman who tells the truth. Even if it's cheating, we at least have some respect left if you're just up front about it. Honesty is the best policy for guys. We hate finding out some hidden truth about you, no matter how trivial.
8) We love it when your up front about things. Whether it's our chances of scoring with you, or going on a second date, or dating at all. We don't like vague answers to important questions. Girls know whether they want to date a guy or not. Don't be afraid of hurting us.
9) We love it when you're affectionate. The generalization is that guys like attention...but we particularly like being touched by you. Stroking of the arm, back scratching, cuddling up to us, even playing footsie's not half bad. Honest. It's also reassuring in situations where we may need some encouragement in our life.
So those are some of the things us guys like. Now we go onto the opposite end of the spectrum.
What men HATE about women:
1) We hate it when you're dramatic just to get attention. Guys can't stand drama in any shape or form. If you do it consistently, we'll move on. We don't care if you're Scarlett Johannson's clone... we HATE drama. Period. Especially drama over something that's so trivial, we can't fathom why it bothers you.
2) We hate it when you break promises. Guys don't like to be let down that much. Sometimes it can't be helped, but it doesn't change us not liking it. If you can't make it to something or are going to be real late, simply let us know. Or if you even THINK something may come up, don't make a 100 percent promise to make it. Simply tell us you'll try your best or do what you can, but can't make any guarantees. We'll appreciate that and won't have high expectations.
3) We hate it when you are selfish. Selfishness is a major turn off. Only thinking of yourself and not being considerate of others is something that many guys won't tolerate. Like being obnoxious when drunk or using foul language around my Christian parents. Be considerate of your surroundings. Don't be selfish.
4) We hate it when you talk about your ex or any other guys you encounter. We don't mind mentioning the male co-worker and how he nearly burned down the kitchen at your restaurant. However when you mention how your co-worker looked like a stud in his new outfit today or that your ex called and you talked and talked, we get peeved. We don't mind competition, but don't want to be paranoid that you're getting some on the side either. If you do talk about stuff like that, reassure us that we're still the 'bees knees' in your eyes.
5) We hate it when you jump to conclusions. Now, I know it sounds like we may do the same thing when talking about your ex or a hunky co-worker, but we never voice those opinions unless we have reason to think something may actually be going on. Like being home a lot later than usual or having 'sex hair' when you come home. But when we're on Facebook and you notice a chick I used to go to school with that has a husband and three kids poked me and you go apeshit...that's not good. Or you see lipstick on my cheek and smack the hell out of me. Understandable...unless I ran into my grandma who wears too much lipstick and you didn't give me time to explain before smacking me. Just don't do that.
6) We hate it when you insult us, even as a joke. When we're the butt of a joke you tell in front of your friends or family, it doesn't set well with us. Makes us feel inferior and stupid. Unless we agree it's ridiculous, try to steer clear of mentioning us doing anything embarrassing, shameful, stupid, or weird. If you have second thoughts about saying something, chances are, we don't want you to say it.
7) We hate it when you're not hygienic. Nothing turns a guy off more than smelling funky, looking funky, or both. We understand you work out...but not sitting around for four hours in your own sweat, then wanting us to have sex with you. And then getting mad when we suggest a shower first. It's common courtesy. If you want us to go downtown, make sure downtown's neatly trimmed and has no awkward smells. We don't obsess over it, but if you think it may smell bad, you may need to do a quick check up. We won't mind.
8) We hate it when you compare us to an ex or another guy. When we do something stupid, don't say "Trevor never does that. He's always getting his girlfriend ice cream." Well if Trevor's so damn awesome, wear a slutty outfit and have HIM get you some ice cream. If we do something stupid or that aggravates you, just telling us it's stupid and aggravating is enough. Telling us Michael, the hunky intern always calls his girlfriend even if he's busy makes us want to not call you even more. It'll backfire.
There you go. I'm sure there's more to add. Feel free to add some things if you like.
