Hi, it’s me the Blue Jeans Guy again. This week I’m tired of pissing and moaning about the Pres, so I figured I’d give you my personal advice for understanding how the male mind works, at least mine anyway.
Maybe I’m a complete lunatic, and not like other guys, but it’s still my opinion so if you care to read on, then here it goes... The Blue Jeans Guy’s Eight Tips For Understanding Guys.
1. As guys, we don’t have a clue how women work or think, so don’t expect us to “just know” anything. Hint, hint, double clue, we don’t know! If you want a guy to do something or act a certain way, tell him. Otherwise he’ll go on about his business, blissfully clueless about what you need until you get pissed and go off on him.
2. When you tell him what you want, be nice. Pretend you’re talking to one of your girl friends or a family member (maybe he is). If you talk down on him in a condescending tone, like the Pres liked to do, you will upset his ego, or piss him off, or both, and he will probably make sure he does not comply just to get even with you.
3. If you happen to be a woman with a self image issue, don’t cut him off sexually because you feel ugly or fat. I can sympathize with anyone who has had a day when they feel they don’t look their best, but remember, if he’s with you and not someone else, then he picked you and it’s unlikely that he wants to get into your pants if he thinks you’re fat and disgusting. Furthermore, if you cut him off sexually for long enough, he will eventually look for what he isn’t getting at home somewhere else.
4. For the love of God, have a hobby or at least be understanding of his. I have always had my hobbies. I don’t require excessive amounts of time to pursue them, but I do enjoy spending an afternoon or an evening doing the things I love to do, without pressure to please other people. I don’t know of any guy who doesn’t have any hobbies. Whether it’s sports, cars, crafts, or whatever else, if you’re passionate about it, make some time for it and allow your partner some time for his. You will both be happier for it. Ideally, maybe you will both have some common hobbies you can pursue together.
