things a man should know

i find women's magazine appealing but i find guy's magazine more intriguing & interesting.. somehow it's one way of peeking into a guy's world & mind..

for the lack of reading material in the hotel's lounge, i happen to chance upon a copy of Esquire magazine.. nothing special about it, just a fashion magazine like any other girl's mag.. added with articles about a famous guy, toys for the big boys (i.e. cars, gadgets).. but these arent the reasons why i kept reading more.. it's this column intended to make men know the things they should know (about women, etiquette, money, sex, marriage, etc).. cited with truthfulness, presented with wit, composed by some of the well-known women in the entertainment industry..

here's a few to stimulate your curiousity..
=======================================================

-->> things a man should know (about women) <<--
- One follow-up to an unreturned phone call is acceptable; two is stalking.

- Dont kiss and tell, even if you're really proud of yourself.

- With the exception of Bill Clinton, we think nothing's hotter than a man who's honest.

- Love does not mean never having to say you're sorry. It means having to say you're sorry over and over again, in new & different ways, every day, every week, every month, even when you dont want to, every year, until God grants you His mercy and you finally, blissfully, die. (over naman 'to)

- Women who have two or more brothers are less likely to be disgusted by you.

- Women can tell if a man is the kind of man who likes women.

- If you ask about her previous boyfriend & she gets a small, wistful smile on her face, change the subject. (buti pa nga.. baka tamaan ang ego nyo)

- Never let her arrive at an event alone.

- Her job is just as important as yours.

- If she works out, compliment her muscles.

- When asked if she looks fat, even if it's the one thousandth time, you must always at the ready with an immediate, confident "Of course you dont look fat!".

- No, you were not looking at the other woman. (common excuse!)

- Only acceptable pickup line: "Hi, my name is [your real name]. What's yours?"

- More than anything else, women want you to make them laugh. (i agree!)

- Women are less excited about sleeping with another woman for your viewing pleasure than you are. (the feeling is mutual, kapag kayo with another guy)

- In fact, we would be interested in a threesome. The kind with two guys -- you and Brad Pitt. And you wait outside. (haha!)

- Wishful thinking is bad for your relationship.

- Avoid a woman who competes with her mother or her sister. Embrace a woman who is best friends with either.

- Women dislike men who are liars. ('nuff said)

- No matter how furtive or quick the glance, a woman always knows when you're looking at her breasts. (may built-in sensor kami.. hehe)

- Contrary to popular belief, an out-of-shape man is just as unappealing to a woman as an out-of-shape woman is to a man.

- It's pointless to argue with her if you're not going to win. You're not going to win. (kaya, ziiip it!)

- A good woman is as excited about a gift that costs nothing as she is about a gift that costs a lot.

- Women have to pay more for their haircuts, dry cleaning, & shoes, and this upsets them.

- Women have to buy new outfits, & this makes them happy. (money cant buy happiness, that's what shopping is for!)

- While yes sometimes means no, no always means no. (period!. wag na mamimilit)

- Women, much like men, are human, & thus appreciate it when you ask them questions about themselves. (it shouldnt always be about you)

- Never ask a woman why she's mad at you, as she will only get madder at your not knowing. (hehe)

- We've slept with guys way less attractive than you who didnt work half as hard as you did to get it. They were just more screwed up than you. It's called sympathy f--k. (doesnt apply to all girls)

- Guy with dog: cute. Guy rolling around making an ass of himself with dog: irresistable.

- When in doubt, give us a gift certificate to a spa. When you're sure, give us a diamond ring. (aaaww)
