Ok, so I’ve been staring at the laptop for close to 5 hours now, break time…

Since my mind can’t function any longer and since it’s a Sunday anyway,  let’s talk about one of my favorite subjects… chicks.

Aaaah women, can’t live with them, can’t live without them…

One time they tell you they want this one, 2 seconds later, they’ll do a hair-pulling 180 on you… So I’m constantly wondering… “What do women really want?”… Hmmm… 

Why are guys always asking: “What do women want?” Isn’t it obvious? Whether married or single this applies to every man: What women say they want is not really what they want, because what they want is for a man to give them what they want without having to tell them. In other words, asking them what they want is pointless. Think about it, young single women often say they want a nice guy who buys them flowers and treats them like a lady, yet they are dating some jerk, who treats them like the dirt under a farmer’s fingernails.

The bad news is, that women are usually more initially attracted to bad boys:

But the good news is they ultimately want a good man (not just a nice guy). This entails being stern, strong, sometimes nice, often surprising, stable and acting like a manly man who has his shit together, and not being an asshole nor a wimpy pushover.

A friend sent me the following article… apparently it was written by a woman who’s supposed to ‘know it all-lah’… Read and see…

While flowers themselves may be colourful and fragrant it isn’t the flowers themselves that make her smile, but the gesture.  It’s proof that he thought about her that day.  It’s an excuse to brag about him to her friends. It isn’t the bouquet that matters; it’s the time it took him to choose, buy and deliver them.

Knowing this, an intelligent man ought to substitute the typical wildflower arrangement with a far more creative (and significantly less expensive) act of affection.

I know what you’re thinking:  “Easier said than done.”  But that’s what makes flower giving so stale, that it’s easy, and foolproof.  Showing up at her door with a bunch of daisies can’t hurt, but a badly written poem can. 

So I’ll help you out. I’ll tell you want to do – and more importantly, what not to do – to keep her happy (because if she’s happy, you’re happy!).  

1.  Don’t attempt poetry unless you’re great at it.  How do you know if you’re great at it?  Well, if you have to ask yourself this question, then you’re not.  Most amateur poets are great at rhyming, and are capable of coming up with a clever little sonnet (12 lines) in just a few minutes.  If you find yourself staring at a blank sheet of paper for too long, put the pen away. 

2.  Show up at her door unexpectedly, and tell her that you can’t stay long.  And mean it.  She’ll be genuinely surprised when she opens the door and sees your adorable face and she’ll be flattered that you took time out of your busy schedule to visit her.  If she’s not home, even better!  Tape a simple note to her front door and she’ll cherish it for years to come. 

3.  On that note…  Write her a note!  Anything, absolutely anything goes.  Whether it’s a request (“Sushi tonight?”) that you tape to her computer screen or a comment (“You’re hot”) she’ll be blown away by the sheer cuteness of it all.

4.  When she looks particularly striking (whether she’s on the beach or in her pajamas), tell her so.  Don’t be afraid to pay her a genuine compliment.  Nothing sounds better to a girl than “You look beautiful tonight.”  Well, other than “You’re the most beautiful girl in the room.”  Restrict the use of this word to special occasions only, because it will otherwise lose its luster very quickly.

5.  Take her to the zoo.  Take her to see a kid’s movie.  Take her to Toys ‘R’ Us and tell her that she can have anything she wants under $20.  (All of these options are cheaper than flowers and way more memorable.)  Anything that’s associated with children is light-hearted and fun.  And anything that’s light-hearted and fun will turn a mediocre date into a marvelous one.

It isn’t hard to make a woman happy, contrary to popular belief.  Even the so-called high-maintenance ones are relatively easy to please. [My comment]: This one sure or not?

All it takes is time.  That’s what she really wants from you – your time.  If she doesn’t like the birthday gift you gave her, it’s probably because you didn’t invest enough time in figuring out what she wanted (all it takes is a few phone calls to her best friends!). 

Now be off, go play a sport or build something and be a man.

[My comment]: Eerm… so, means what do women want ar??…
