This list, which promises to "help you help him to create a strong and lasting relationship with just about any guy" (what? Is that a Freudian slip), lets the women reading in on a little secret: Men will never understand women, so women have to learn to understand men. Good news, though, men are so easy to understand that instructions on how to take charge, keep them content, and get what you want can be boiled down to 50 easy-peasy bullet points. (And if you don't get it, the author will provide you with a private tutorial.) (Gross.)
He hates that short haircut. This is the reason Jennifer Lawrence can't. land. a. man. Sorry J-Law, truth hurts. Fuck what you want your hair to look like, your partner's preference is all that matters.

You should always take his side. Look, it doesn't matter if he's just said that the moon is made of Courtney Stodden's crystallized tears or that Sarah Palin would make an excellent president because she's been keeping an eye on Russia from her house and they haven't attacked IN YEARS, if it's in public you just smile and nod because any challenge to his intellectual authority is going to tax your relationship and have you on the first bus out to LONESOMEVILLE. You can say whatever you want in private (we are in the year 2014, after all), but if you so much as suggest that he may be incorrect while other people (the author doesn't qualify who these people are, only that they are the public) are around, he will never forgive you. Never ever.

(23,648 posts)Met him in a nightclub, Harvard grad architect from a wealthy family. He seemed nice at first on the second date he criticized my outfit, on the third date he told me I was "lucky" he asked me out on the fourth and final date I told him adios. He got angry at me and said to me I was throwing away a great catch blah blah blah. He would call me now and then to see if I changed my mind because "he was the best I could get". Thank god for caller ID. I finally got rid of him when my boyfriend now husband answered the phone and told him to leave me alone because he was going to marry me someday ( I didn't know about this conversation until we were married) but I had told him about this jerk.

(1,070 posts)"What is it that makes a man? Is it being prepared to do the right thing, whatever the cost?"
To which The Dude replied:
"Well, that and a pair of testicles."
Judging by this list, my penis must be imaginary. How else can we explain the fact that none of this describes my personality, nor the tendencies of the women I have fallen for?

(120,806 posts)that is 2 minutes of my life I will never get back!! just reading "girls" started it. read the headers for each, could not be bothered to read each description.
hey, chuckles, I have a question for you. why in the HELL would you think any woman would even want to be in the same room with a fool who is as insecure, and stupid, and jealous, and clueless as your list indicates, much less be in a relationship with said doofus?
now where is my brandy???
