The 'Men's Club Tricks & Tips' Experience
posted Wednesday, 10 May 2006
'Are there any tricks or tips that you've discovered for keeping your woman happy?'
I think this is somewhat of a risky topic, considering that my other half occasionally pops by here for a quick read through. If I were to reveal the things I do to keep her happy then she would in future know that I was doing them, and perhaps appreciate them less. Oh well, let's see what I can come up with anyway....
Try to mention things in conversation that they have mentioned at some point in the past - in this way they'll know you've been listening to them.
Try not to remark on other people that you think are attractive, especially if they are stick thin - failure to do this will make her self-conscious and worried that you fancy other people more than her
Always try to make an effort with the way you dress and look - lounging around in joggers evry time you see her will give the impression that you have lost interest, or have reached the 'comfortable stage' in the relationship
Organise the occasional surprise trip or gift - this will show you care and love them enough to make some effort and think about them even when you aren't together
Notice things on her like new hairstyles or clothes - this will show you pay attention to her
Be spontaneous and varied - by tyrying new things together, she will feel that she is exploring new ground with you, and will keep the relationship fresh
Say nice things to her when she least expects them - girls seem to like being taken unawares by compliments
Talk about the future occasionally - this will show her that you feel that you have a future together, which lots of girls seem to like
Being fairly sexually active (not a particularly tricky one admittedly!!) - this shows that the girl still turns you on and that there is still that special something between you
It goes without saying that there are hundreds of other ways of keeping a partner happy, but it seems that most of them involve making an effort. Unless you're a complete clueless idiot, a relationship between two people that really want to be together is a pretty easy thing in my opinion, so a bit of effort here and there really shouldn't be too taxing.
For other views on this one pop along to Just Breathe, Villains Vanquished, This Mom Blogs, Who Moved My Truth?, Open Dialogue and WitNit. I'll try to update the links once the others have posted. I'm an early bird this week, for a change!! Failing that, just click on the links in the side bar to your right and track their entries down. Happy hunting!!
In other news, it's either that waitresses are getting more friendly, or waitresses are getting more keen on working for tips, being that the summer is approaching. Twice in three days the waitress we had has made conversation with us at the end of our meal. The one today was fairly standard, but the one the other day at Old Orleans in Reading was positively chatty!! She even sat down with us for a while to talk to us, and came across as being genuinely lovely. This led me to a few thoughts, as is my nature:
Did she just want a good tip?
Was she genuinely friendly?
Did we just look like friendly people?
Would she have done the same to two blokes sitting together?
Would she have done the same to us in a bar or club?
Generally fascinating, as it had never really happened before. Admittedly Old Orleans has always been reknown in Reading for having the best looking and most friendly waitresses, but even so it made the evening even more pleasant.....links: digg this del.icio.us technorati reddit
