a few pointers for my brethren (read:men)

This 'treasure-chest' of wisdom comes from a source who is a self-professed whomper (read:loser) at relationships. Please read at your own risk. If anything goes wrong, just point blame at economy.

  1. Two crucial words. Internalize. "Yes, dear". Without these coming out instinctively from your mouth you're dead meat. Be wise to turn them into a question i.e. "Yes, Dear?" if she asks you to repeat what she said. Learn them. Now.
  2. Bring her flowers at every possible opportunity. Do not rake brain too much with whatifs such as "What if she doesn't have a vase" or "What if she is allergic to flowers". Don't be a dodo. Watch with wonder as a vase materializes out of thin air.
  3. When you go to the movies and she pulls out her only-for-watching-movies-glasses, do not inquire about her eyesight. Pretend like you didn't notice at all.
  4. It's all good to compliment her looks when she's all dressed up and going to a wedding. Tell her she looks like a million bucks when she's wearing old clothes and painting a house or something. Say it. Mean it.
  5. Never compare her with anyone else. Never.
  6. If you don't cook, if you don't know even know where the salt is, step into the kitchen all the same. Offer to stir, at the least.
  7. Get a blackberry. This is why. If she loves sports you are a lucky pig, but if she doesn't and you are out wine-tasting when your favorite team is on, a blackberry can go a long way (looooooooooooooong) in keeping you up-to-date with the latest score. A few furtive glances at the 'berry will suffice before you come back home and watch highlights on full HD. Plus, blackberrys are just incredible.
  8. Make everything an adventure. Even a trip to the grocery store.
  9. Sometimes she will talk critically (mildly used here) about another she. Five minutes later second she appears and your she embraces her with a warmth that boggles your puny mind. There is no need to be overtly concerned. It's called 'bitchin'. In one ear and out the other. Akin to men never calling the next day.
  10. Perfect one dance step. All she needs of you is to be on the dance floor. Your range of skills on the floor or the versatility of your dance abilities are not under purview. She will do the dancing. You do your step.
  11. Be nice to her. And. Everyone else. Being nice is more challenging than being mean.It makes you cool.
Adios.

Oh boy! I never knew this would please a girl. Something interesting would be like if the boy can play strip chess/scrabble or engage on a lazy sunday noon with a wii game fight or prolly who can sit and virtual travel the world on Planet Earth on hDTV or pillow fight for the remote for watching "house" or say who can be good at PJs or funny oneliners or who can be intense in his looks while craking the funniest lines or who can dance like no one is watching him not least bothered about if it is jives or salsa or who can surpise a karoke session after dinner etc.,..someone who can be worthy to talk to, spend time with(quality time) and well someone who can mentally stimulate a woman as much as charm her heart with ease of manner..

Yeh phool patte sab aaj kal ki ladkiyan nahi chahti hai :D
