I suddenly came across this blog...
Sometimes, we gals don't realize our faults since we see ourselves as the "kawawa"
in a relationship. Well, I know you gals have your unending reasons for
stupid little things our guys do. Question is:
Don't you think we're getting a little overboard with our romantic ideals?
26 ThInGs A sWeEt GuY wOuLd Do
1. Know how to make you smile when you are down.
2. Try to secretly smell your hair BUT you always notice.
3. Stick up for you but still be respectful of your independence.
4. Give you the remote control during the game.
5. Come up behind you, put his arms around you, squeeze you tightly against his chest, and whisper softly into your ear
6. Play with your hair.
7. His hands will always find yours.
8. Be cute when he really wants something.
9. Offer you plenty of massages.
10. Dance with you even if he feels like a dork.
11. Never run out of love.
12. Be funny, but knows when to be serious.
13. Realize he's being funny when he needs to be serious.
14.............................................. Be patient when you take forever to get ready.
15. React so cutely when you hit him and it actually hurts.
16. Smile alot.
17. Plan a romantic date full of cheesy things he wouldn't normally do just b/c he knows it means alot to you.
18. Appreciate you.
19. Help others out.
20. Drive 5 hours just to see you for 1.
21. Always give you a peck on the cheek when you depart from each other's company- even when friends are watching.
22. Sing even if he can't
23. Have a creative sense of humor.
24. Stare at you.
25. Call for no reason
26. Quit smoking, chewing, drinking, or drugs just b/c he loves you enough to quit!!
So in other words, a sWeEt GuY would... (the contradictions)
1. Not help you solve the problems that caused your depression; instead, he would just pose a temporary fix to what obviously calls for a more serious solution. He would push thoughts of sadness out of your mind for a small time, although these thoughts will no doubt return stronger than ever after that brief moment of happiness has passed.
2. Be unable to keep secrets. Are you going to wish that when he can't plan you a surprise party or hide a present? What if you tell him something you don't want anyone else to know? If he can't even smell your HAIR covertly, how is he going to refrain from telling the guys about the 'game' you and your uncle used to play?
3. Not let others point out any of your flaws, thus allowing you to better yourself. Besides, if you can take care of yourself, why does he need to stick up for you at all? How is he supposed to know which he should be doing? What if he's sticking when he should be respecting? Or respecting when he should stick? He'll probably never be able to tell what he should be doing to respect and protect you.
4. Not know how to change the damn channel himself. Instead of simply asking you what you would like to watch and changing the channel to that network - thus strengthening your communication skills - he just hands you the remote, as if to say, "Do it yourself, woman." If he is unwilling to do such a measly little task for you, is he going to be able to do more important things, like support a family?
5. Perform the Heimlich maneuver while convincing you that you've gone partially deaf in one of your ears. Yeah, that's pretty comforting.
6. After all the gelling, the curling, the moussing, the hundred-dollar-hair-cut you've gotten... he'll just mess it all up.
7. Not allow you to perform simple physical tasks. Want to eat some popcorn? Try doing that with the backs of two hands and no palms. Need to scratch an itch? Nothing more romantic than that. God forbid you should need to pick your nose or something... do you really want to have to excuse yourself from your guy? He'll be watching what you did to interrupt your hand-holding.
8. Exploit you. If you were going to freely give him what he wanted, it would be a simple matter of asking. However, he must tug at your heartstrings, and essentially use your emotions for his own, twisted needs just to get what he wants. He must be "cute," so that you feel that you must give it to him, when this "cute" state will last only as long as it takes for him to get what he wants, then it's back to his disturbing old self.
9. Put you at physical risk by giving you an unlicensed massage. While not prominently dangerous, accidents from non-chiropractic or otherwise unlicensed masseuses can result in severe back injury. And if he does happen to be licensed, he will still no doubt be distracted by you. He may not be thinking clearly because he will be wondering if you approve of what he's doing, and whether this will help or harm your relationship. A massage from an impartial, third-party masseuse would be much more advantageous.
10. Publicly embarrass you by ridiculously flailing about in a foolish manner.
11. Well... fine.
12. Have the emotional depth of an episode of Boy Meets World.
13. Blatantly disregard rule 12, which stated he should know when to be serious. The only way out of this predicament is to say that he knows when to be serious, but continues to joke, which clearly implies that he is out of touch with his emotions and unprepared to convey them. It logically follows that any relationship you had with him would be based on facetious impressions and would - thus - be misleading and hurtful.
14. Have poor time management skills. If you've got reservations or tickets to a show, should he just stand outside the door without even mentioning your plans? Why doesn't he help you get ready? That way, you'd be done faster, and you wouldn't have to miss the goddamn ballet that cost two hundred dollars that he didn't even want to go to in the first place - damn it, woman, he's missing the game for this.
15. Willingly take part in protecting your abusive relationship.
16. If he has bad teeth, you will constantly have to look at the result of his poor dental hygiene. If he has great teeth, he will fill you with shame at your own orthodontic negligence. Not to mention his unending happiness, which would quickly instill in you a hatred for any time in which you show such unforgivable weakness that you might occasionally frown or growl or sneer or do anything but keep your lips continually frozen in what is one of the least comfortable situations for the human mouth to be in. God forbid you should falter in this all-important charge. But mostly the teeth thing.
17. Oh yeah? What if you're lactose-intolerant? Then would you want... oh. Wait. You meant ‘cheesy' in the figurative sense. I knew that. So he would change himself for you. That sounds good, but what's the purpose of change? You started going out with one guy, if he turned into a mushy, romantic guy who only did things you liked, wouldn't he be denying his inner self? Yes. Yes, he would. Also, his friends would all call him a pussy.
18. Not notice how much you continually try to change him and make him do things he doesn't want to do.
19. Make a poor husband. If he's providing for other people, how will he provide for you?
20. Not use airplanes?
21. Must not hold his friendships important. If he flaunts his relationship in the faces of his friends, it's almost like he's saying that you're a trophy he has won. You're just an object that he has that they don't. He's only doing it to invoke jealousy in his friends so as to satisfy his competitive urges. There's no reason you couldn't just kiss later. To do it in front of his friends is just cruel and unnecessary.
22. Physically harm the eardrums of surrounding unfortunate listeners.
23. Not make fart jokes? Yeah, right, good luck with that one.
24. Be really, REALLY creepy.
25. Think about it. If he's got NO reason to call, he's really just wasting your time, isn't he? Maybe if he'd called to talk or to ask you a question or something, then you could at least have a conversation. Otherwise, this is about how it would go:
You: Hello?
Him: Hi, it's me.
You: Oh, hey, what's up?
Him: Not much, you?
You: Not much here either.
Him: Cool. You: ... [a minute of silence later] So, why'd you call?
Him: Oh, no reason. [another minute of silence] [Dialtone].
Him: Hello?
26. Abandon the things he loves just for one person? That's terribly risky. What if some other girl comes into his life? Then, as soon as he feels some infatuation, he'll just as quickly drop all the things he used to go to as a guaranteed source of pleasure and satisfaction for what may or may not be a new temporary fix? That's a dangerous cycle that can only end in tragedy.
Oha.Oha. Try to actually ABSORB it gals.
I know it's kind of "yeah whatever!", but hey.
It does make sense, diba?
hearts :)
