Simple truths about the XX's

Valentine's Day is coming up and instead of making a big deal about how I'm single for yet another Valentine's Day (honestly, I have so much on my mind now that I don't even care anymore... lol), I decided to write a post that somehow related to it. Now this one is mostly for the guys out there! Why? Simply because I'm feeling magnanimous and because I'm tired of hearing my male friends (and even my brothers) complain about how they don't understand women. So, here are some simple truths about us that you should all know and that should help you understand us better. Ladies, you can pitch in by saying whether you agree with me or not. In any case, I also decided to spice it up a bit with a few additions from someecards.com!


1. That mischievous look you give us when you’ve done, said, or even thought about something naughty drives us wild. (Yea, even if we hit you playfully and call you a pervert. hehe.) Chances are, if it wasn’t too raunchy or nasty, we liked it too. What can I say? We like it when you tease us.

2. Don’t judge a book by its cover. Just because we act like a lady doesn’t mean that we can’t be seductive temptresses. Whoever said the two were mutually exclusive?

3. We probably won’t pressure you into working out (even if you’ve started developing a cute little beer belly.) However, there’s just something about a sweaty man that makes our blood start pumping. Just saying, it could be benefit us both!

4. We want you to feel comfortable enough to tell us everything – and we do mean everything (and anything) – from the mundane to the philosophical. As you already know, we’re highly communicative creatures and hardly get tired of talking. That said, we do appreciate smart and thought-provoking conversations from time to time. Whoever said that men should only talk about boobs, cars, and sports was a damn fool!

5. We love surprises… even when it’s something as simple as an unexpected phone call, a small chocolate heart, a whispered “I love you,” a stolen kiss, etc.

6. We like when you take initiative. And by this, I don’t mean that we expect you to do all the work, all the time. But sometimes, you simply have to just man up and go for it.

7. If you’ve lied to us, chances are we've figured it out. We have a sixth sense, remember? We might just be playing dumb so we can catch you red-handed next time.

8. You may not understand it, but we like to watch you do boring, day-to-day stuff, such as shaving, driving, cooking, fixing the lamp, etc. Just don’t ask us why and simply enjoy the free attention.

9. Rationally we understand that you had a life before us, but we expect for you to act like your life began when you met us. We want you to divide your history down the middle, with everything falling into one of 2 categories: 1) Before you’d met us and 2) After you’d met us. Simple, eh?

10. It’s okay for you to have your own interests, hobbies, and friends (and it’s even okay if sometimes you’d rather to spend your time pursuing said interests and hobbies, and hanging out with your friends), but still make sure to give us enough attention at the end of the day. We’ll usually give you warning signs when we’re starting to feel neglected, but after we’ve issued enough of these warning signs, you can’t blame us if we suddenly start to hold back and become less available to you.

In any case, whether you're single, in a relationship, straight, asexual, bisexual, try-sexual (lol), I wish you all a Happy Valentine's Day! Remember that romantic love is perhaps the most coveted form of love out there, but that it's not the only one. If you have at least one person who truly cares for you, then you're already in better shape than you think you are...
