It's Chicks Before Dicks, Guys!

Often many problems will arise when you start dating a girl- no, not between you guys, you’re both probably too filled with giddiness to be able to point out any problems if there were to be any.

But that isn’t to say there is no friction outside your little bubble of the perfect world.

So, first off: MAKE SURE YOU DON’T SPEND EVER WAKING SECOND WITH HER. Not only will that mean your life is empty without her, girls have a strict ‘Chicks before Dicks’ rule and they’re expected to adhere to it.

She probably has a best friend, or a group of friends she is particularly close to. Make sure she still has the time to spend with other people other than you. Don’t be selfish, trust me in that the last thing you want is for her friends to be against you.

So the point is, don’t pressure her to spend all her time with you- she probably wants to, but she has a life too. Pressuring her will only make things harder for her. So be a gentleman and tell her she doesn’t need to focus all her attention on you (even if you and I both know that you know, you honestly really actually want that.)

But I guess if she’s not a believer in the rule, you can’t do much about it, can you?!

Things Girls Hate In Guys

Take note and avoid:
  • Arrogance: being self-sure or slightly cocky is appealing, but arrogant is not. Big egos are not good.
  • Being over-protective: give her some space and do not accuse her with cheating on you every time she looks at another guy. Let her continue being friends with her male friends or hanging out with other guys. You need to be able to trust her, and that means not being overprotective
  • Vain guys: being hygienic and practising standard grooming methods are good, and the occasional checking-yourself-out-in-the-shop-window thing can be cute, but do not spend more time getting dressed/doing your hair than your girlfriend does. Most girls prefer a rough man, as opposed to a pretty boy.
  • Acting all tough/bad-boy when you're not: do not randomly start fights to try and impress your girl: it's transparent and most girls can see right through it. And especially do not talk to your girlfriend about how you'll bash up some guy when you see him next, if your sole intention is to act tough. She'll realise that you're bluffing next time you do meet up with that guy.
  • Acting all sensitive/emo: Some girls like sensitive guys, but this does not mean you should go over the top, especially if you're not being you. Also, try not to be too whiney. Find a balance between being tough and being sensitive.
  • In general, guys who aren't themselves: girls aren't stupid: they can see how you act around your friends or your family, and they can compare this to how you act around them. Be yourself, and don't try to put up an act just to impress the girl; it'll usually do the very opposite.
  • Guys who are degrading: do not point out a girl's faults or defects, even though she might point out yours. Girls are much more fragile. and if you want her to change in any way, do it very very gently. You should not ever be derogatory, and know where the fine line between teasing and being plain rude is.
  • Negative guys: find the positive side in things, do not go dissing everything or pointing out the faults in everyone.
That's a pretty broad list of everything a guy should not be: and most girls would agree. Suck it in and be rid of your personality defects at once!

Why is she MAD at YOU?

Girls are at times strange and crazy creatures. And we are so sorry about that.

If she is clearly mad at you, and you are *positive* that you have not done anything wrong, you are obviously wrong! She's probably mad for one, or a combination of these reasons:
  • You talked about someone, and she feels as though you take a little personal favorite here. This is a very common, stupid mistake that many men make. They also seem to have truly mastered the art of becoming completely oblivious to it (perhaps you guys are acting out...and quite frankly, in either case - it's time you learn). "I am sorry, but as long as I am around, I am your queen. SO TREAT ME LIKE ONE!"
  • Your eyes lingered a fraction of a second too long on a female member who may or may not possess desirable assets (as usually conventionally perceived by the male population). See point above.
  • "My friend thought this..." - don't you tell us that your friends opinion about us would influence yours to that extent!
  • You're late on two or more occasions. Have you ever heard of priority? And where should we be on that list? Yeah...
  • You diminish our value... this is all too common. Men are, as a generalization very arrogant. And I've dealt with enough men to realize so!
Okay, so upon reflection - I see that we, as a race may be a bit overdramatic. But we're cute and have breasts, so suck it up, dudes.
