Made “Rock Star” status, if you can call it that, today and I got to thinking about all the wonderful friends I have made here that made this happen. I cogitated on this while I perused my lists of friends, fans and family and I noticed a distinct lack of testosterone. There is good reason for that. You see, I have tried to get in touch with my “feminine” side, but she has a restraining order against me. I need all the estrogen laden input on life and love I can find, and the oh so lovely ladies of Cherry Tap are a true wealth of information and understanding concerning the “feminine mystique”. Each and every one of you are more than special to me, and because I have reaped so much from you I thought I would try and “give something back”, so to speak. For my few male friends here, be forewarned, I am going to let ALL the cats out of the bag, as it were, and ladies, hopefully this will give you some insight into the fellow in your life. Now, let’s see, where to begin:
We don't care if you talk to other guys. We don't care if you're friends with other guys. But when you're sitting next to us, and some random guy walks into the room and you jump up and tackle him, without even introducing us, yeah, it pisses us off. It also doesn't help if you sit there and talk to him for ten minutes without even acknowledging the fact that we're still there.
We don't care if a guy calls you, but at 2 in the morning we do get a little concerned.
Nothing is that important at 2 a.m. that it can't wait till the morning.
Also, when we tell you you're pretty/ beautiful/ gorgeous/cute/ stunning, we freaking mean it. Don't tell us we're wrong, we'll stop trying to convince you.
The sexiest thing about a girl is confidence. Yeah, you can quote me.
Don't be mad, or worse, embarrass us by acting surprised when we hold the door or your chair for you. Take advantage of the mood were in, let us pay for you! Don’t "feel bad", we enjoy doing it. It's expected. Smile and say "thank you."
If you kiss us when no one's watching, while we ALWAYS love your kiss, it loses a little something, BUT, if you kiss us when you know somebody's looking, well THAT is the “be all, end all”.
You don't have to get dressed up for us. If we're going out with you in the first place, you don't have to feel the need to wear the shortest skirt you have or put on every kind of makeup you own. It’s certainly not that we don’t appreciate the massive effort you make to “look your best” for us, but we like you for who you are and not what you are. Honestly, I think a girl looks more beautiful when she's just in her pj's. or my t-shirt and boxers, not all dolled up.
Don't take everything we say seriously. Sarcasm is a beautiful thing. See the beauty in it. Don't get angry easily.
Stop using magazines/media as your bible. Don't talk about how hot Bow Wow, Brad Pitt, or Chris Brown are in front of us. It's boring, and we don't care. You have girlfriends for that.
Whatever happened to the word "handsome"/"beautiful"? I'd be utterly stunned by a girl who greeted me with "Hey handsome!" instead of "Hey baby/ stud/ cutie/ sexy" or whatever else you can think of. On the other hand, I’m not saying I don’t like it ; )
Ladies, I cannot stress this enough: if you aren't being treated right by a guy, don’t wait for him to change. ditch the sorry, disgrace to the male population and find someone who will treat you with utter respect. Someone who will honor your morals. Someone who will make you smile when you're at your lowest. Someone who will care for you even when you make mistakes. Someone who will love you, no matter how bad you make them feel. Someone who will stop what they’re doing just to look you in the eyes....and say "I love you" .. and actually mean it.
Give the nice guys a chance……
I guess that’s about it, but let me conclude with a few thoughts to take with you...
*Holdin Hands*
Girls :If you want to hold his hand, gently bump into it a couple of
times.
Guys : Grab it if it happens more than once.
*Cuddling*
Girls : When you want to cuddle with him, tell him you're cold
Guys : Automatically move closer to her.
*Movies*
Girls : During a movie, if he puts his arm around you, tilt your head on his shoulder
Guys : Lift her chin up and kiss her.
*Laying below the stars*
Girls : When you're both laying under the stars, put your head on his chest and close your eyes as you listen to his steady heart beat
Guys : Whisper in her ear and link your hands with hers.
*Loving each other*
Guys : When she tells you she loves you, look deep into her eyes, give her a peck on the lips, and tell her you love her too... And mean it.
