Valentine's Day is about a month away, so it's time for guys to step it up a notch! My lovely fiance, Dave (look how cute we are in the pic!), came up with a list of things that guys should do. Basically a quickie crash course to provide men with ways they can impress their lady friend. I agree with a decent chunk of what's on this list, but take a look for yourself! And show the list to your man if he's lacking!
P.S.: #14 is my favorite!
- Cut and clean under your nails. Long nails and dirt underneath is a major turn off.
- Buy a box of q-tips and clean the wax out of your ears every day.
- No girls wants to kiss dry cracked lips. Use some chap stick
- Hair is good in the right places. Pluck your nose hairs. Keep your downstairs trimmed and clean cut.
- Brush your f*cking teeth; the vast majority of girls cannot stand guys with bad teeth/breath. I recommend whitening if you have discolored teeth. Bad teeth are one of the biggest female turn offs.
- If you can't grow proper facial hair, don’t try. The Mexi-stash is the worst. Clean shaven at least shows you care about your appearance.[Note from Sassy Fashionista: the Fu manchu is another puke-worthy one!]
- Be willing to reciprocate. (you know what I mean ;) )
- You are not a jack-hammer; its not all about you. Make it your goal to please her before yourself.
- Cook for her. Woman are very impressed by a man who knows his way around a kitchen.
- Pace your drinking with her's. She can drink as much she wants, and you're allowed to match it. Getting black-out-fall-down porcelain-god-worshiping-drunk is not cute or cool.
- If she wants to snuggle, do it whether or not it's your thing.
- Buy her flowers because it's Tuesday. Know what her favorite flower is. Roses lack creativity. Women are way more impressed by a gesture that shows you know her.
- If you cant say something nice, shut the f*ck up. When she talks, listen--even if you aren't immediately interested. Actually listen and respond with answers other then “yupp” and “uh-huh”.
- Tell her you love her in public. Never be ashamed to let your girl know how you feel regardless of who's listening.
- Know what color your girl's eyes are. This is one of the mostly commonly used quizzes women use to see if you actually look at her face.
- Put the toilet seat down. Every time. After the first time she falls in at night, you will never hear the end of it.
- Watch a movie she wants. Try to enjoy it, even if it's not your your cup of tea.
- Tell her how much you love her most insecure parts of her body. Chances are, what she's insecure about is what makes her unique.
- Encourage her to spend time with her friends.
- Jealousy dooms relationships. Trust is huge. Until she gives you a reason not to, let her know you trust her. If you’re the jealous type, work on it.
