things guys should know

[DaughterOfZion]

1Whatever you do, don't just show up at their house. They run around in their underwear just like we do.
2Don't cheat on them. It may seem foolproof, but girls tell each other everything about everything. Trust me, they WILL find out and you will be mad.
3Beware of every single male relatives and all guy friends. Any of them would kick your butt at the drop of a hat, and a lot of them wouldn't even wait for the dang hat.
4Never miss an opportunity to tell them they're beautiful.
5Don't refuse to kiss in front of your friends. If they laugh at you, it's because they're jealous.
6If they slap you hard, you deserved it.
10Not all of them eat like birds, a lot of them can eat like whales.
11Most of them don't mind paying half of everything, but they do discuss these things with their friends. Realize that if you make your girlfriend pay half all the time, everyone will know about it and your friends will know you're a *****.
13Make sure she gets home safely as often as you can. If you're dropping her off, walk her to the door. If you aren't dropping her off, call to be sure she's home safely.
14If a guy is bothering her, it is your right to kick the crap out of him.
15If you're talking to a female friend of yours, pull your girlfriend closer.
16Never, ever slap her, even if it's just in a joking way. Even if she swats you first, and says, "Oh, you're so dumb" or something, never make any gestures back.
17Go to a chick flick once in a while. She doesn't care whether you enjoy it or not, it just matters that you went.
18You're dead meat if you can't get along with their pets, parents and best friends. Be prince charming to their friends, Mr. Polite to their parents, and make sure to be nice to their animals.
20Don't be freaked out by PMS. It's not gross, and it really does make them feel like crap, so be understanding.
21If you don't like the way they drive, you do it.
22If you're officially dating, and you're introducing her to your friends, you'd better dang well introduce her as your girlfriend.
23Don't stress where you go for every date. They really only want to be with you.
25Girls are fragile. Even if you're play fighting/wrestling, be very gentle.
26Memorize their birthdays. U forget her birthday and U'rebasically screwed for life.
27Don't marinade the cologne.
28Don't give her something stupid for her birthday or Christmas or Valentine's day. It doesn't have to be expensive, but it has to be meaningful. Jewelry is always nice.
29If you think the relationship isn't going to last, don't wait to find out. It will only hurt u more if u draw it out.
30After you've been dating for a while, realize that they really have started to trust you. When you have a girlfriend who truly trusts u, u have a lot more responsibility, privilege and control than u would think. Be careful with it, most guys would kill for that kind of power, and it can be lost in a nanosecond.
31Don't ever do anything wrong (well not anything). girls remember things for life and anything you did wrong will be brought back in every argument that you will have in the future.

i edited some out and im too lazy to fix the numbering so just ignore it

[Scribs]

10Not all of them eat like birds, a lot of them can eat like whales.

Most whales just eat krill, tiny tiny animals. Birds eat huge ammounts of food, all the time. So comparative to body size, birds eat more than whales. Sorry for the off topicness, I just wanted to say that.

[chibiphonebooth]

oh.

my.

gosh.

DUDE. did you like..interview girls?? O.O
cause thats like..how i think at least. wow.

4Never miss an opportunity to tell them they're beautiful.

14If a guy is bothering her, it is your right to kick the crap out of him.

YES.

20Don't be freaked out by PMS. It's not gross, and it really does make them feel like crap, so be understanding.

*nods* -_-

27Don't marinade the cologne.

YESYES. dont do that. >.>

SQUEE. ^^

[Arbre]

Here's another idea... Because not every girl is the same or even agrees with every little thing on there, guys, talk about it with her.

And vice versa. Ask the guy you're dating what he thinks about expectations and all that, girls.

Get to know each other's expectations and comfort zones.

'Cause with me, I know disagree with a few, especially depending upon the circumstances or my mood.

Some of those ideas on the list, I'm in total agreement with because of who I am and my own expectations and insecurities (15If you're talking to a female friend of yours, pull your girlfriend closer. ). Others.. I just think they're way off (14If a guy is bothering her, it is your right to kick the crap out of him. ).

But that's the way it goes. Different people, different personalities and opinions and experiences that stay with 'em for life.

[agasfas]

28Don't give her something stupid for her birthday or Christmas or Valentine's day. It doesn't have to be expensive, but it has to be meaningful. Jewelry is always nice.

Isn't jewelry expensive? <.< II >.>

But yeah, you got some good thoughts/points. It's surprises me how many people don't use common sense...

[Swordguy]

no actulyl it isn't allways...you jsut got to keep your eye out

[Stephen]

*laughs* Just make sure what you get her does not leave a green ring on her. Cause if it does...I can say with a certain degree of assurance....she will ditch you.

As far as girls are fragile....heh. Like most the things on your list....everything is different from girl to girl. Spike from Cowboy Bebop summed up how I feel about women.

"I love a woman that can kick my...butt"

[mitsuki lover]

So what are #s 7-9 and also #19?
Further thoughts:
*Remember her birthday.
*Don't buy her flowers unless she tells you what she likes.
*Despite what you might hear girls still like it when you open and hold doors for them and seat them at the resturant.
*Don't laugh if you come in on them when they have a face pack on.If she's your fiancee you have to get used to it.
*Let her pick the station on the radio if you're driving.
*It's allowable to touch only if she's your sister or if she permits it.
*Bras and panties aren't that exciting to look at,especially if they're scattered all over the floor.
*Don't be overly possessive unless you are going to marry her.And even then treat her like a human being and not some object.
*Never get into an argument when it's that time of the month for her.
*Get a cat or dog just in case things don't work out for you.

[K. Ayato]

Another thing to note is if a girl has to vent out her frustration, by all means LISTEN! Let her get it out of her system and then you can say something.

[soul alive]

Thanks AnimeMute, that's great. XD X3.

3 Beware of every single male relatives and all guy friends. Any of them would kick your butt at the drop of a hat, and a lot of them wouldn't even wait for the dang hat.

Eh, my dad doesn't hide the fact that he owns several guns, and that we have several thousand acres of ranch to hide a body on. XDXD

14 If a guy is bothering her, it is your right to kick the crap out of him.

*nod nod* Especially, speaking from experience, if bothering includes touching.

26 Memorize their birthdays. U forget her birthday and U're basically screwed for life.

Or at least subject to being given a hard time for life.

27 Don't marinade the cologne.

YES! Please, please, please, don't. A little goes a long way. And above all, do not substitute cologne for a shower. Ever.

28 Don't give her something stupid for her birthday or Christmas or Valentine's day. It doesn't have to be expensive, but it has to be meaningful. Jewelry is always nice.

Again, YES! And never buy clothing that she hasn't tried on and confessed to liking. Ever. And jewelry doesn't have to be expensive at all, heck, I love those stretchy bead bracelets that cost like $5 for a bunch. Hair thingies are good too, just make sure it's something that works for her hairstyle.

[Heart of Sword]

As always, I have to dissect everything, LOL...

1Whatever you do, don't just show up at their house. They run around in their underwear just like we do.

Agreed, lol...

2Don't cheat on them. It may seem foolproof, but girls tell each other everything about everything. Trust me, they WILL find out and you will be mad.

Mm-hmm...>___<

3Beware of every single male relatives and all guy friends. Any of them would kick your butt at the drop of a hat, and a lot of them wouldn't even wait for the dang hat.

Nah, the only male relative I have in my entire state is my father, lol...and he's pretty gentle. XD

4Never miss an opportunity to tell them they're beautiful.

5Don't refuse to kiss in front of your friends. If they laugh at you, it's because they're jealous.

I don't know. *shrugs*

6If they slap you hard, you deserved it.

I'm not violent (though I can be rough online, lol)...I don't think you should ever hit anyone.

10Not all of them eat like birds, a lot of them can eat like whales.

What Scribs said. But I eat like a bird...lol.

11Most of them don't mind paying half of everything, but they do discuss these things with their friends. Realize that if you make your girlfriend pay half all the time, everyone will know about it and your friends will know you're a *****.

I don't mind paying half of everything, in fact it makes me feel better. I'm kinda weird...lol...what am I saying, I've never been on a date before, how should I know?

13Make sure she gets home safely as often as you can. If you're dropping her off, walk her to the door. If you aren't dropping her off, call to be sure she's home safely.

Fine by me. ^_____^

14If a guy is bothering her, it is your right to kick the crap out of him.

I think I can handle myself alright... *laughs* Anyway, I wouldn't want my boyfriend to get in trouble, but if I was endangered or something...okay.

15If you're talking to a female friend of yours, pull your girlfriend closer.

16Never, ever slap her, even if it's just in a joking way. Even if she swats you first, and says, "Oh, you're so dumb" or something, never make any gestures back.

I don't mind being bonked, but physical damage is a different story.

17Go to a chick flick once in a while. She doesn't care whether you enjoy it or not, it just matters that you went.

I would care if he liked it or not. Anyway, I don't like chick flicks all that much.

18You're dead meat if you can't get along with their pets, parents and best friends. Be prince charming to their friends, Mr. Polite to their parents, and make sure to be nice to their animals.

Well, I hope he wouldn't be faking it...

20Don't be freaked out by PMS. It's not gross, and it really does make them feel like crap, so be understanding.

LOL, yeah, and stay away from us, too. XD

21If you don't like the way they drive, you do it.

22If you're officially dating, and you're introducing her to your friends, you'd better dang well introduce her as your girlfriend.

Yep, and then watch me turn some funny shades of red. XD

23Don't stress where you go for every date. They really only want to be with you.

*nods*

25Girls are fragile. Even if you're play fighting/wrestling, be very gentle.

Psh, not me. I'm not fragile in the least, lol...

26Memorize their birthdays. U forget her birthday and U'rebasically screwed for life.

I actually don't care about this... O___o

27Don't marinade the cologne.

*doesn't get it*

28Don't give her something stupid for her birthday or Christmas or Valentine's day. It doesn't have to be expensive, but it has to be meaningful. Jewelry is always nice.

I don't know...it's the thought that counts.

29If you think the relationship isn't going to last, don't wait to find out. It will only hurt u more if u draw it out.

I guess. But I've never broken up with anyone before, so I wouldn't know.

30After you've been dating for a while, realize that they really have started to trust you. When you have a girlfriend who truly trusts u, u have a lot more responsibility, privilege and control than u would think. Be careful with it, most guys would kill for that kind of power, and it can be lost in a nanosecond.

Yep.

31Don't ever do anything wrong (well not anything). girls remember things for life and anything you did wrong will be brought back in every argument that you will have in the future.

No, I'm forgiving, nobody's perfect.

[K. Ayato]

HoS, "marinading the cologne" is putting on WAY TOO MUCH. :-D. Just thought I'd interpret it.

[Heart of Sword]

Oohhh, I get it, lol. I don't think I'd care much though.

[Bunny]

If I may add a little bit of advice just out of personal experience:

Guys:
Do nothing to make her best friend despise you. Even if she is crazy about you and willing to defend you to whatever end, you really don't want to put her in that situation. It's miserable.
Do not ask if you should pay. It's just not stylish. You either do or you don't. Whichever you choose, there's a way to make it cute. Asking...well, just don't.
And the basic rule that should guide nearly every action; treat her like you would want your sister or your daughter treated.

Girls:
I wouldn't suggest hitting someone, however playfully, who cannot or will not hit you back. Even in warfare you don't strike the unarmed. In my opinion, if you hit someone, you forfeit your position "as a lady." (For lack of a better term.)
I'm not saying there aren't guys you can't play with, though. I have an older brother and a lot of guys who think they're my brothers and I would have no problem getting a little rougher with them but only because I know they wouldn't hold back too much with me.

Random over-share: I once went to dinner with a guy and had three of my male friends conveniently "show up" just to keep an eye on him. It was embarrassing. Cute and kinda touching...but embarrassing.

[Heart of Sword]

LOL Bunny, that WOULD be embarrassing.

As for being rough...I forgot to add, if you are in wolf form, you can be as rough as you want. Poor Sparry...XDDDD

[FarmGirl]

This is amusing.
I agree with HoS, particularly on numbers 18 and 25.
Worse than not appearing to be Mr. Perfect (really, this is not a bad thing) is being Mr. Fake (very bad). Her Dad was a teen once, and he will remember the act. His trust (and hers) will be incomplete if you put on a mask around them. Being polite is an always, not just for her folks.

I find it insulting when guys go easy on me just because I'm female. Of course, there are some who really are fragile, but I'd find out which she is before playing soft with a tomboy.

[SilverFang]

you are so mean HoS

[Dante]

1Whatever you do, don't just show up at their house. They run around in their underwear just like we do.

According to Anime Mutes information, she is a girl, but according to the above quote she is comparing the action done by girls as being the same as that done by guys and includes herself in the "we" of the guys. Therefore from this logic, I see that Anime Mute is a girl on the internet and a guy off the internet.

By the way, I don't run around my house in my underwear... Thank God...

Later,
Pascal

[Warrior 4 Jesus]

Hmm... Interesting. So this is how girls think.

[DaughterOfZion]

Therefore from this logic, I see that Anime Mute is a girl on the internet and a guy off the internet.

*yelling* WHAT KIND OF PERVERT DO YOU THINK I AM?!?!?!?!?!?! igot these from a WEBSITE i did not write these. as i said at first i was too lazy to EDIT i was meaning to say i did not write these.and how many boys would call themselves princess nine fanatic, hm?*normal voice* and to answer your questiaon ML i left out the what thought could get me banned just to be safe.

[Warrior 4 Jesus]

AnimeMute, I think they were just having a joke. Please don't get so upset.

[DaughterOfZion]

i get defensive easily if i am offended even if they mean to joke

[DaughterOfZion]

and crimson ill check BA in the morning

[Arnobius]

One thing I'd say was something girls should know: If you have a problem, say so. If you say everything is "fine", guys will usually take you at your word and assume everything is fine...

[Lochaber Axe]

I'm the type of guy that is dense as a brick. Except for cheating (I'd rather take off my own hand first. If I find interest in another woman... well its time to separate.), cologne (I have a sensitive nose and hate the smell), the whole going to her house unexpected (I'm too shy for that), and everything else thats not common sense, I'd basically fail most of those.

I will forget her birthday.
I will annoy the crap out of her... thats how I am when I'm comfortable around someone.


About beating the poo out of someone harrassing her... I'm more of the type to grab him by the scruff of the neck and shake him furiously.

[K. Ayato]

That works.

[heero yuy 95]

28Don't give her something stupid for her birthday or Christmas or Valentine's day. It doesn't have to be expensive, but it has to be meaningful. Jewelry is always nice.

lol, that reminds me of something funny. there's a girl at school that i like(not my gf, though) and i've decided that for christmas i'm going to give her the old rear-view mirror from my car. it's just a gag gift, but it can furhter exploit her radiant beuaty, and it's from an el camino, lol.

[heero yuy 95]

About beating the poo out of someone harrassing her... I'm more of the type to grab him by the scruff of the neck and shake him furiously.

hey, man, that's my style too!

[Warrior 4 Jesus]

Great idea heero yuy! Very creative! I hope it helps 'mirror' her feelings towards you.
