10 things women really want to hear
Hello darlings,
We had an office breakfast this morning which gave me an opportunity to talk with some people that I don't interact with on a regular basis including a sweet little Indian gentleman who is very excited to be returning home for his arranged wedding in March. I am probably (read absolutely, beyond the shadow of doubt) too jaded to give advice to any soon-to-be-newlywed, so I tried remain positive (aka sit there and say next to nothing), but when he talked about the "India Times" article that he read about women I nearly lost it. Apparently, these are "10 Things women simply love to hear" You all know that I can't let a good list go without a little "color commentary" so here are my responses to these 10 things.
FWIW - there are even a few (OK two) of them I actually agree with.....
'You look gorgeous!'
This one is somewhat situational. Though I don't think anyone has ever called me "gorgeous" there are situations where I could certainly appreciate hearing that or any similar compliment. That said there are also many more situations (read MOST) where this statement would raise eyebrows (JADED!) but my typical responses to this would be:What did you do?How much did it cost?Not now I have a headache/in- grown toenail/foot fungus/any-number of other excuses that pop into my head at any given moment'You are the first woman in my life'
HA! Right, you are the first man in my life too - wink wink'You are great in bed'
Damn right! I cannot not argue with that! XOXO'You'll make a great mother'
Have you met me?'Will you spend your life with me?'
Hmmm depends - are you planning to die young or live to be 100?'What do you think about .............?'
Not now I have a headache!'You are my dearest pal'
OMG - what time did you start drinking today?'I am lucky to have you'
YEP! see also "You're great in bed"'You know what's on my mind'
Seriously, headache, remember! For god-sake man.......'I love you'
I love you too, but seriously, how much did it cost
until next time.....
XOXO
