17 Things Women Wish Men Knew
1. Small things count.
It's the little gestures that make the biggest impact.
2. The E-word.
Not huge E just a little E. Not drugs... Effort. We put on make up, sometimes wear high heels, try and wear nice clothes because we respect ourselves... Putting effort into yourself makes us notice and respect you too. Plus you look way hotter.
3. Confidence is hot, arrogance is NOT.
Every girl loves a man who’s comfortable in his own skin. It makes us feel safe and protected and nothing feels sexier than that. But arrogance? We. Can’t. Stand. It.
4. Chivalry is not dead.
Be old fashioned from time to time. Offering your coat when it's cold does not mean we'll bite your hand off. It's just nice.
5. Don’t be a man-child.
I'll never understand those girls that Mummy their boyfriends. It's actually a bit sickening. Most guys are kids at heart, but if we’re doing more than a bit of coddling (i.e. cutting your food into little pieces) then there’s definitely a BIG problem.
6. Listen and take interest.
If it's just sex, then that's fine, no need to talk - no need to listen. If I listen to your problems about work and the gym and the lads then yes, I do expect you to stop playing x box for 10 minutes and hear about what a prick my boss is.
7. Be honest.
Honestly, so many guys are fooled into thinking that they lie well. They really don't realise that so many girls just believe what they want to. You're all shit liars, so just tell the truth from the beginning... We're not as weak as you think.
8. When we have our periods, just back off.
Just. Back. The fuck. Off.
9. Don't be an idiot.
When clearly have gotten our hair done (CLEARLY) and we ASK you what you think, just fucking say it's nice. We can't change it now and we're more aware than anyone if it's awful.
10. Kisses are great
And sometimes we both forget how good a long hard kissing session can actually be.
11. Sometimes we need 'me time'.
Look, we're fully aware of how stupid the reality tv we watch is but sometimes all we need is to sit on our laptops, in bed with a cup of tea and a bar of chocolate and watch absolute shite for a while. It doesn't make US stupid, so stop judging and get back to your men throwing a ball around for points and money.
12. Learn to say sorry.
Stop being so stubborn! Just admit it when you're wrong and we will to (which is rare. Joke, but not really.)
13. Sometimes all we need is a hug.
We know it's the same for you, but when we look like we need a hug, we definitely need a hug.
14. Toilet humor.
Stop talking about your toilet activities. And NEVER bring up ours.
15. Take care of your hygiene.
Brushed your teeth? Showered? Deodorized? You’re a grown man, just do it.
16. Stop getting polluted.
It's so very unattractive. We know it's the same for us, getting drunk is cool, getting sloppy dribble drunk is not cool.
17. Don't forget our birthday.
We live in an age where you can remind yourself of every little thing by typing it into your that device in your pocket.
