okay so I found this on the net a while back and post it and see what people think of this. Give your opinion of whether you believe this list is accurate or not, and whether you could add to it. I found it to be pretty accurate.
50 Things Girls Wish Guys Knew...
1. Don't tell us when you think other girls are hot.
2. Whenever possible, please say whatever you have to say during commercials.
3. If you don't act like soap-opera guys, don't expect us to dress like Victoria Secret models.
4. Mark anniversaries on a calendar.
5. There is no such thing as too much spooning.
6. Just because you L the C doesn't mean we have to S the D.
7. This is how we see it . . . Don't call = Don't Care.
8. Which also means that if we don't call, take the hint.
9. We like you to be a little jealous . . . but overly possessive is not necessary.
10. Putting things in our butt does not turn us on.
11. Return favors: we massage, you massage; we go down, you go down; we shave, you shave (and not just your face).
12. Foreplay is not an option . . . its a prerequisite.
13. We're allowed to be late . . . you are not.
14. Eye contact is key.
15. Don't take longer to get ready than we do.
16. Laugh at our jokes.
17. Three words . . . honesty, honesty, honesty.
18. Girls can be groupies. Guy groupies are stalkers.
19. We never have to wonder if your orgasm was real.
20. Do not start with us. You will not win.
21. Would you like it if a guy treated your sister that way? We didn't think so.
22. If you ask nicely, we usually answer the same way.
23. We will never have enough clothes or shoes!
24. We have an excuse to act bitchy at least once a month.
25. Open the door for us no matter where we are . . . even at our house and getting into the car.
26. We love surprises!
27. We liked to be kissed softly, not with an iron tongue.
28.Pay attention to the little things we do, because they mean the most.
29. Boxers and maybe boxer briefs sometiems . . . NEVER whitey-tighties, NEVER!
30. Clean your room before we come over.
31. Always bursh your teeth before you see us . . . a fresh mouth and white teeth are a necessity.
32. When we use our teeth it means that you suck at going down on us, so we are just returning the favor.
33. Even though you are sometimes insensitive and hurt us, we still love you with everything we are.
34. Hit it and quit it, because later I'll be with you're best friend and he lasts for hours.
35. Don't act hard around your friends because I won't make you hard tonight.
36. Sometimes "NO!" really means "NO!"
37. "Wife Beaters" are not an adequate form of fashion.
38. If we wanted to be on video tape, we'd be a porn star not your girlfriend.
39. Sensitive guys are great . . . but crying more than we do in a movie just isn't right.
40. Don't let ex-girlfriends cause drama, relationships are stressful enough.
41. It takes a special kind of stupid to forget birthdays.
42. Guys who are good cuddlers = guys who know how to satisfy a woman.
43. "Fat Chicks" have feelings too.
44. Silent treatment, shoulder shrugs, tears, yelling and nasty looks all add up to . . . YOU DID SOMETHING WRONG!
45. If you are not a good dancer, please be self-aware.
46. Just because a girl doesn't pick up on the first ring doesn't mean she's not waiting by the phone.
47. You don't have to spend a lot, if it means a lot.
48. DONT SAY YOU LOVE ME UNLESS YOU MEAN IT!!!!!
49. Don't lie to us . . . we will catch you.
50. When the girls get together, we talk about EVERYTHING. Meaning my best friends know everything about you.
I found most of these to be superficial, honestly. *shrugs*.
Ok. I have to say this before I forget. Point 13 absolutely outrages me, and I couldn't disagree more. We are not entitled to anything guys aren't entitled to, except pads and tampons.
Point 24 also rattles my cage a bit. If you know you get PMS, then take steps to fix the problem. that isn't your pass to be a bitch. Sorry.
Point 25? come on. Seriously? This may have been accurate in 1950, but not in 2011. Just, no. In fact, guys who open doors for me just for the sake of being traditional really turn me off in all aspects.
I do, however, completely agree with point 40. We know you have a past, but let's keep it in the past, ok?
Point 43 is pretty good, too. I would have worded it differently, but at least the meaning is good.
Point 47? Yay! Awesome! Couldn't have said it better myself.
As for the others, some I slightly disagreed with, and some I slightly agreed with. the ones I mentioned are just the ones that stand out to me, one way or the other.
Sorry, the fact that you have a vagina, doesn't mean you get to have double standards. We have a penis, doesn't mean we get to be a dick.
it really seems like some girls have this aditude of: Well, since you men were total asseholes to us sixty years ago, now it's our turn. Never mind the fact that the women who say this weren't around sixty years ago, nor were the men that they claim were being asseholes, which some of them were. I'm not denying that, but come on. that was then, this is now. Get the fuck over it. if you expect equal standing, you'd better give others the same standing. Equal doesn't mean above, whether you're a man or a woman.
exactly. it's beyond sad to think people see this kinda thinking as ok. what a damn shame.
I think maybe the list was compiled in humor, but that anyone would see it as pretty accurate on the whole is a bit disturbing.
the only point I could possibly see as meaning to be funny is the point about having an excuse to be bitchy once a month, but even that I could only mildly chuckle at.
I'm sure it was just compiled as satiristic banter or something of that nature, but still, no. If you want me to follow these rules, get a different boyfriend.
Good luck finding one at all, actually. I'm a girl, and I can say that. if you think guys are honestly going to be ok with all that, you're only friend is going to be your vibrater or your finger.
The ones I like:
9. We like you to be a little jealous . . . but overly possessive is not necessary.
17. Three words . . . honesty, honesty, honesty.
40. Don't let ex-girlfriends cause drama, relationships are stressful enough.
42. Guys who are good cuddlers = guys who know how to satisfy a woman.
43. "Fat Chicks" have feelings too.
47. You don't have to spend a lot, if it means a lot.
48. DONT SAY YOU LOVE ME UNLESS YOU MEAN IT!!!!!
Wow, totally agree with post 11.
I just have to ask this, isn't there a huge difference between cuddling, and satisfying? I mean, I've cuddled a lot, and not once has it lead to a girl throwing her head back and screaming for me never to stop. It simply hasn't happened. Not to say she doesn't enjoy it, but satisfying?
I think the general idea is that if he's slow and has plenty of time to cuddle, he'll probably also take plenty of time to make sure she's pleased in other ways as well. I'm a bit out of my element here though, so maybe I've missed the mark. If so, I appologize in advance.
I second the post 11 exactly.
Raaj.
yeah I believe most of these was simply based off of humor although as pointed out above, there are some good points that were listed. I take back when I said at the beginning. I didn't mean for it to come out like I personally think their accurate which will influence how I look at guys. thats not what I intended. I meant as a humor sake and just humor, it was something I could agree with but not something I would do in real life if that makes any sense.
So ladies tequila sunrise
has more then her finger and vibrator. Smile. I liked the list. Thought it was "cute" Devilish, ya right man!
I definitely hope this was compiled as satire. Because if it's serious, it's crap like this list that make girls look like shallow bitches.
And, were the opposite to be said by a guy creating a double standard for the perfect woman, even in humor, the same women who support this would rise up and sya just how unfair it was, etc.
For those of you who are like this: you are your own worst enemy when it comes to equality: not some aging patriarch dying in a home someplace who never knew you.
I'd say this list is mostly humorous, but some of the things on it are pretty realistic. There are also some things that are rediculous. Over all though, I think this is supposed to be slightly sarcastic or funny. lol, I don't agree with all of this, but it's pretty entertaning to look at.
wow.haha.! i liked some of these. but really.
As a guy I agree with some of this and practice it some but fore a lot of the list, I would have booted any one who fully followed this list out the door!.
Yeah quite agree with starfly and leo. cmon, this isn't mean girls and a relationship has to be give in take. For example it says there can never be enough spooning, and know means no. sounds like if it was that bad you wouldn't have asked in the first place. But hey, just for grins I wonder if there's a list for guys. :p
Someone said they wish there was a list of whatguys want lady's to know about us!, well red a book called "whild at heart." It has some religious views and it will not totally spell out every man but its a basic outlline of us.
@ post 13, I get satisfied by an ice cold beer and a cheeseburger
never once did i want to ask it if it was enjoying our time as much as me... satisfying does not always mean screaming....
But I must say, I did find many of these comical...
Just because you L the C doesn't mean we have to S the D lmfao, that is just hilarious...
wow, I just got on here and found this to be pretty amusing although, Kinda pissed me off at first after reading it. Its strange because I do have this guide very similar to this called 30 things guyys should know about girls. I found it on someone's myspace way back when and just had to copy it.
i kind of like the one about would you like someone doing that to your sister. But that would go both ways anyway. glad it's mostly satire.
36. Sometimes "NO!" really means "NO!"
I hate this one. "sometimes"? I have always followed no to be no but some girls laugh at that notion. So how are guys supose to know when "no" means "yes" and "no" means "no"?
I think its pretty self explanitory. If you know that no means no but you are either too driven by lust to care, thats on you not the girl.
this is what guys must know about girls but what girls must know about guys?
Yeah... I think there's a huge double standard regarding this... no list for girls to know about guys? But then again, guys don't generally have enough time on their hands to draw up pithy lists like this.
even if they had the time, they'd be smart enough not to allocate it to this kinda bologna.
50. When the girls get together, we talk about EVERYTHING. Meaning my best friends know everything about you. LOL! So is this the answer to the question, why doesn't he open up to me and tell me all his deepest darkest secrets? llmao.
Very true, Tim21. I once heard a saying that you should never EVER tell your friends/mother/sister the problems in your relationship unless they are part of the solution. My husband and I have both agreed on two "safe" people each for when we are going through a rough time to bounce things off of. These are people who will give us a kick in the pants when we've been wrong, but who are supportive enough not to judge us. The "safe" people are NOT from either of our families - in-law relationships are hard enough without them knowing all our dirt.
