There are all sorts of people/authors/books/radio shows out there trying to help women catch the perfect guy, and the men to catch that great babe.
I’ve listened and read a bunch of this stuff, and I’ve come to the conclusion that (a) there’s really no such thing as a perfect man or woman, and (b) the men have the short end of the stick on this deal.
Really, though, those perfect guys and babes are only in the movies. My husband got an email once with a photo of a drop-dead gorgeous woman. The caption read, “Just remember, somebody out there is really tired of putting up with her constant complaints…” Now, isn’t that the truth!
There’s even a book for women giving rules on what to do and not do when “shopping” for the perfect man. I read this book, and I don’t believe this man exists. He constantly romances her, cuddles with her, and buys her expensive jewelry. He rubs her feet, listens to her without falling asleep, writes love letters to her, and shops with her. Yeah, and probably looks like Robert Redford, too.
Shops with her? Are you laughing yet?
Okay, so maybe some of this is possible before they’re married, you know when couples are still trying to impress each other. Some guys will do a lot to impress their women. I received an email last week with a list on “How to Impress a Woman”. This is what it suggested (with a few of my own edits here and there), so men … take note!:
- Wine her
- Dine her
- Call her
- Hug her
- Support her
- Hold her
- Surprise her
- Compliment her
- Smile at her
- Listen to her
- Laugh with her
- Cry with her
- Romance her
- Believe in her
- Cuddle with her
- Shop with her
- Give her jewelry
- Buy her flowers
- Hold her hand
- Write love letters to her
If you do these things, I GUARANTEE you will have her wrapped around your little finger.
And women, turnabout is fair play. Here’s the list of “How to Impress a Man”:
- Show up
- Bring food and drink
