List for Dudes. By A Lady



A few days ago, I read an article where a fifteen year old teenage boy wrote in a forum lamenting his sad lack of girlfriend. There's this one person replied with something like, "Kid, forget the girlfriend and hit the gym, read some books and learn the art of conversation for the next five years. I promise when the time comes, you'll be confident enough with who you are that you'll be up to your eyeballs in p*ssy."

Shady but true. The bottom line is, women tend to want a partner who is well-rounded and has a little depth.

Here's a few things I'd add if you, er, want to be up to your eyeballs in...you know:

-"Funny" wins more points than "handsome". You might look gorgeous, but a sense of humor trumps perfect looks any day. I've known many a lady who has been with a man who may not be a Brad Pitt, but he sure can make her giggle.

-"Real, easy confidence" wins more points than "Yo, I can bench press my car". Fluffy or skinny, out of shape or defined, have confidence in who you are (and the body you inhabit) and we will think you are the hotness. Seriously.

-"Working on issues" wins more points than, um, "Being a Crazy Pants". We are really sorry you went through all that shit as a kid, and we totally agree that the one girl who tore your heart to pieces and gave you The Clap was a nasty-ass ho, but please, please, get some help before you bring that mess into a relationship. We will listen, comfort and support you as much as we can, but at the end of the day, we cannot (and should not) be your mom/therapist.

There you go, boys.

p/s: What I'd whispered to your ears last night, i really mean it ❤
