Women is this a good list of things men need to know/do?

Question

I found this while searching through yahoo. Is their anything else that needs to be put on there? I know a lot of the stuff on this list is common sense but when it comes to your wants, well honestly, you all leave most of us confused. So let us into your mind for a moment and hopefully some of us on this board tonight will learn something new.

Answer 1

that's cute :-)

Answer 2

my honey does all these things, not because some article says he should, but because he loves me!

Answer 3

Actually, I think all those lists of 'things to keep your partner happy' are a little silly. Well, a lot silly.

Some people (men or women) would love to get flowers, midday text messages, etc, and others would find it a pain in the neck ... "Excuse me, I know you're in a top level meeting but your partner is on the phone to say s/he lubbs only oooo". Yah, real cute.

And massages are fine, if you want a massage. But what if what you want is something else?

How to keep your partner happy is to have good communication, spend time with them that is actually about the two of you (not just sitting in the same room watching tv), and talking to each other like friends do.

Once you do that, you find out what they actually WANT and it's all smooth sailing from then, really.

It's hard for people to do that, often they'd rather just live amicably with someone they occasionally have s3x with, but if you want a quality relationship, communicate.

Cheers :-)

Answer 4

Well, a lot of the stuff is not relevent to me.  And some of the things I would definitely find aggravating.  I don't want my husband or anyone else touching my feet for instance, I don't like having them touched at all, and I don't want to touch anybody else's, i don't like feet at all.

And does anyone, male or female, really need to be told not to hog the remote control?  Surely that is a matter of basic civility?

And if both people are working (as this article seems to assume they are) surely the man would be making dinner some of the time as a matter of course, without having to make a special thing out of it?  

I think sending your partner emails in the day is nice if you are apart, but it seems a little odd that someone wouldn't think of doing that of their own accord.

As for clearing up the mess, that's probably a good idea, but in our house I tend to be the one who gets told off for making a mess.

I think some of these things  I don't think anyone should need telling, and others I feel are a matter of individual preference.  My husband would never have a candle lit in the house for instance, he's totally against candles.

Answer 5

those sound like nice things to do.

Answer 6

men are used to do work for the purpose of earning money,they grow up like that,while women are grown up to manage family,grow up kids,make budget,do several social responsibilities,thus men and women's job are quite different,so their daily routine also established on the same manner as their work,but while in hectics,one of the person get tired so much,he/she want rest,obviously it will happened,and it is quite normal,the site u have given above describe how a men can make her wife/partner relief from this hectic life,

there is one book(I forget the authors name sorry!) ..'MEN ARE FROM MARCE AND WOMEN ARE FROM VENUS' describes the men and women's situation very interestingly and the author also describe how they should treat in the condition.I think it is a great book to understand the whole situation amazingly,its very interesting way to learn the person what should he do the best he can in the relation of men and women.

not only for men but women are also eager to know to come out of those confusing situation by the help of these kind of good stuff.

Answer 7

Most of those are pretty good, but you don't have to do everything; we can clean up our own bathrooms.

Answer 8

yes, those all sound like nice things to do :-)

Answer 9

It's a bit over the top honestly. Real men know to do that stuff to his wife anyway without expecting anything in return. He covered every aspect of a womans life..
