35 Things I Wish She Knew

sixstring
This is my own spin on the countless "X things he wishes she knew" lists out there on the internet. With every list I read, there is at least one thing I completely disagree with. All of these lists pretend to speak for all guys, a mistake I won't make.

Before I continue, I have to note some things.

First of all, when I give a "do this/don't do this" example, I'm not implying that those are things a lot of women don't do or do, let alone all women. Just some women.

I'm also not implying that men aren't guilty of any of those things. This is more intended as a just for fun article rather than something to be taken very seriously.

This list applies to a serious girlfriend. They are not put in order of importance.

#1 : If I'm in the bathroom with the door closed, don't bother me with anything, I need my alone time. Unless it's a matter of life or death.

#2 : If I'm sleeping and I have no responsibility to perform at that moment, don't wake me up if you don't like a cranky partner. Unless it's for sex. You can always wake me up for sex.

#3 : If you're angry with me and you don't bother telling me what for, I won't bother trying to make up for it.

#4 : If you disagree with me, don't be afraid to tell me. There are few women more boring than the ones that always agree. Just don't disagree just for the sake of disagreeing.
"Getting compliments from you is just as important for me as me giving you compliments is for you."
#5 : Your boobs are the greatest pillows available.

#6 : I don't mind hearing criticism about the things I do wrong, I know I'm not perfect. As long as you don't forget to praise me or appreciate me for the things I do right.

#7 : Getting compliments from you is just as important for me as me giving you compliments is for you.

#8 : When I compliment you, accept it. Few things are more frustrating than a woman disagreeing with a compliment. Just smile and say thank you. Actually, just a smile is more than enough.

#9 : Don't expect me to read your mind or to be an expert code-breaker. Subtle hints rarely work. Few things are sexier than a woman who knows what she wants and isn't afraid to tell me.

#10 : Ask me to go down on you any time, any place, and I'd be happy to oblige. Unless you're on your period.

#11 : Nothing makes me happier than being able to provide for you and making you happy.

#12 : The sound of you getting an orgasm is the single greatest sound in the universe.

#13 : Despite number twelve, don't fake an orgasm to make me happy. It will only make me think that what I'm doing works for you, leading to you never being truly satisfied.

#14 : If I say something that can be taken two ways, and one way is that I'm implying something hurtful, I meant the other thing.

#15 : Don't ask me to tell you the truth and then get angry for telling you.
what men want

#16 : I'm always open to advice, just don't tell me what to do. I will give you the same courtesy.

#17 : I love spending time with you, but not every second of every day. I need my guy-time as well.

#18 : If you ask me if I'm upset and I tell you I'm fine, it can mean two things. Either I really am fine, or I don't want to talk about the subject at that moment. Either way, don't press the matter. Talking about how I feel can be helpful at times, and those times I will decide to talk about it. But at other times it can make me feel even worse.

#19 : If I'm obviously angry about something but I won't say what for, don't be afraid I'm angry with you. If I am angry with you, you'd know.

#20 : Expressing how I feel about you can be difficult through words. So I'll do it through small, romantic gestures.

#21 : I do enjoy doing those aforementioned gestures, but it's a two-way street.

#22 : If I'm dating you, it means that I chose you. Insecurity about me dumping you for a "more attractive" woman is one of the biggest turn-offs available.

#23 : I understand if you feel the need to share details about our relationship with your friends. But there are some things that need to stay between us.

#24 : I don't have the emotional complexity you do. 90% of the time, I'm in either of 4 moods: Happy, angry, sad or neutral. With neutral being the most frequent case.

#25 : It's perfectly possible for me to be thinking about absolutely nothing.

#26 : I am incapable of seeing a difference between you weighing 130 pounds and 132 pounds.

#27 : Any question in the style of "does this dress make me look fat" terrifies me. There is no possible positive outcome with this question.

#28 : Use violence on me once, and it's over. Unless I really, really deserved it. But I don't see it ever coming to that.
"Insecurity about me dumping you for a "more attractive" woman is one of the biggest turn-offs."
#29 : I am quite capable of deciding which people are worth my friendship all by myself.

#30 : Proposing after a one-year relationship is too early in my book. If I'm ready, you'll know. That said, I won't make you wait an eternity either.

#31 : I'll never prioritize my career over you, and I hope you won't do it either.

#32 : I'll never think of you as my personal maid or cook, but I love a woman who likes providing me with tasty food.

#33 : Don't let me be the one to always initiate sex. It makes me feel like you think it's your job or duty and don't actually enjoy it.

#34 : I love being sexually objectified.

#35 : Never immediately start talking about an important matter while I'm busy, I can only focus on one thing at a time. Just tell me there is something important you need to talk about, and then give me 5 minutes to wrap up whatever I'm doing at the moment.


So girls, tell me what you think. Guys, where do you agree and disagree?
