I think you are the long haired one, grinning. You should let me know when and where you are playing next. I could probably get out for one of your gigs...you know I am only a few hours from you (thats a short distance when you live in southwest kansas).

Come to Thailand. Lots of potentials.

What do Thai women, and I suspect all women, want. Security and Stability. That's resources and emotions.

Guys want sex, laundry and ironing.

There I said it. It's out know and I feel better.

Hm, just speaking from my own experience, the following are a good start:

1. Respect: don't treat her like she's inferior

2. If you make promises, keep them. If you don't plan on keeping them, don't make them. Say what you mean, and mean what you say. Trite, I know, but it shows that you're trustworthy. In the end, your word is all you really have.

3. Don't cheat, physically or emotionally.

4. Be fair. Don't have one set of rules for her and one set of rules for yourself

5. Time: if your friends and acquaintances are more important than she is, or if you spend waay more time with them WITHOUT her than you do with her, it can cause hurt feelings. We want to be included, too. If we didn't want to spend time with you, we wouldn't be with you. If you want someone who'll give you affection, that you can leave at home, get a cat.

6. If there are problems, work them out. Talk about them before they become worse than they are. Running away or ignoring them just makes them worse.

7. A sense of humor. as long as you can joke and laugh, there's hope.

8. Treat her well. Appreciate the things she does for you, be considerate, and don't take her for granted. If she can't deal with that, and if she doesn't return the consideration, she doesn't deserve you in the first place.

9. Remember significant days: anniversaries, birthdays, mother's day if she's got kids. It shows that you care enough to remember. It always amazes me that men who can't remember those days can remember every stat from their favorite sports team for the last ten years...

10. Help Around The House: You don't know how many men I've known whose wives work too, and are then expected to keep house and kids without any help from the sperm donor.

Of course, I'm the bitter one,

, so....

You got no shot at #9. A study pegged this to basic differences between the male and female brains.

I thought #9 was why men invented the Franklin Planner, and the Yahoo Calendar with handy email reminders a week before, day before and day of ...

Sun_Sparkz · 05-23-2005, 12:06 AM

No way - my partner reminds me every month.. "do you know what day it is today??" followed up by a hopefull grin that i know i'm about to crush....

i can never remember dates... birthdays.. anniversaries.. i need to write them in a book, but then, i never check my little book either! !

Perry Winkle · 05-23-2005, 11:37 AM

I must be gay...number 9 is no problem for me. However, when it comes to sports I couldn't care less (unless my younger brother is involved).

iCal. Though I've never actually remembered to put those significant dates IN to iCal. Oh well.

I'd forget my own birthday if people wouldn't remind me.

Lady Sidhe · 05-23-2005, 02:00 PM

Simple....ICQ. Set it for a date, and it'll tell you a month before, a week before, an hour before, and at the exact moment.

xoxoxoBruce · 05-25-2005, 10:36 AM

Well guys, if you've been reminded over 360 times that you forgot. it's close.

I have a theory as to the reason for this. It's unformed as yet, but perhaps the reason they want to be treated like crap is 1:They think that's what they deserve. or 2: They want to be able to change you.

Reading over this, I realize it makes little sense, but perhaps one of you will understand what i'm trying to say and clarify it.
