1. We don’t ever want to hear about the
details of your past relationships. Period.
While we’re sitting confidently and radiantly
across from you at the dinner table, the last
thing we want to be served is an appetizer of
information about your ex. Just stop dishing
about her before we lose both our appetite
and collective cool. To be honest, we’d much
rather you talk about any other topic, so if a
woman tells you that she’s completely
comfortable with you discussing an ex then
you should definitely run for cover.
Relationship tip: Take a breath, have a sip of
your drink, and charmingly say that we’re the
only woman you want to talk about.
2. We really don’t want to know if we ‘look
fat’ or the answer to any similar type of
question.
These are trick questions. We want to hear
that we look good (not ‘fine’, but good!). And
by all means, don’t look at us and try to
answer the question earnestly and honestly.
We don’t want to hear that we don’t look
good, because the truth is that we already
know the answer to the question. We’re just
simply speaking out loud.
Relationship tip: Don’t walk from this question
—RUN!
3. We’re not comfortable with your
blossoming relationship with a potential ‘work
wife.’
We know that the woman you’re talking about
has noticed your attention and is probably
putting some extra effort into selecting her
outfit in the morning. We’re so not cool with
this.
Relationship tip: It’s okay to chat about work,
but don’t talk about a female colleague who
you’re obviously connecting with and then
refer to her as your ‘work wife.’ It will only
make your partner feel unnecessarily jealous
and insecure.
4. We want you to remember the details of
what we say.
When we’re talking to you we expect you to
listen to the details, not just the overall
message. So if we’re telling you about
something going in our life, particularly about
a problem that’s bothering us, we’ll actually
want you to refer back to it at some point and
follow up with us.
Relationship tip: If a woman tells you that she
has everything under control and that you
shouldn’t worry, you shouldn’t necessarily
believe her. We actually want you to worry
enough to pay attention and make note of
what’s important. Your woman will adore you
for this.
5. We want you to like our friends but not be
enamored with them.
Sure, you can ask about our friends, but you
need to pay careful attention to how much
time you spend asking about each friend. We
take stock of these things, make mental
notes, and take the ‘emotional temperature’ of
your questions.
Relationship tip: If you seem to be asking too
many questions about a particular friend then
you will get into trouble. Don’t even think
about arguing with me on this one. I talk to
women all the time and believe me they too
are keeping score!
