Well, I finally reached my breaking points of hearing guys complained on how girls are 'So complicated' and how they'll 'never understand women'. . So, here are nine basic things that applies to ALL girls. WE'll get into the heavy stuff later. Here are the basics

NOTE: Please understand people, this essay was intended for humor, and while a lot of the things are true, this is not to be taken so seriously that you must follow EVERY rule to get a girl. It was simply a thing I wrote after a guy friend of mine kept complaining about how complicated girls where. I wrote this for him as a guideline and posted it for your enjoyment.


1. Tell Us We’re Beautiful

Yes, we actually like that. From the survey I took, 10/12 girls appreciated it more when you compliment them when they’re just looking. . well, blah. Sure, we love getting dressed up for you men. Usually, there isn’t anything better. Looking pretty/beautiful for the person you love is one of the neatest things. It shows him (and the world) that you’re his pride and joy. However, since most of us are not supermodels, and usually don’t sleep in make up. . one of the best times that you can compliment a girl is when she’s just lounging around the house, maybe even in her Pjs. I remember one of my friends (who was pregnant at the time) telling me that her husband came up to her out of the blue one day and said “You know, honey. . You really look gorgeous today.” She said she loved it because, here she was, pregnant, not looking her best, and her husband still thought she was the prettiest girl he’d ever seen. Honestly, it means a lot.

2. Girls Cry; Get Used to It.

Ah yes. . the crying thing. You know, for me, sometimes there is nothing like just. . having a good cry. Sure, laughing is great medicine, but sometimes just sitting down and watching a sad movie, or reading an angst story and then proceeding to bawl your eyes out is the greatest thing you can do. Don’t ask why; I’m really not sure. Also note that usually girls do tend to get upset easily. Some more so than others, but please. . if your girlfriend/wife suddenly bursts into tears. . that is not the time to put her down with “Oh, tough it up” or “Stop crying” or calling her names. That usually just makes us feel worse. So. . guys, females cry. It’s a fact of life.

3. Plushies are a Must!

Bwaha! The dreaded stuffed animal fetish that seems to plague everything female. Just think of this as your car obsession. There is just something about having something very soft and very cuddly to snuggle with. Especially if it smells like you. Most girls will keep these things for the rest of their lives. Personally, I have teddy bear (Pooky) that my step-father gave me. I also have a few that my father gave me before he died. Stuffed animals always come in handy if you’re watching a scary movie too. . especially if we don’t have our guy their to protect us. So. .again, just live with the fact that girls’ rooms will more than likely have a few stuffed things in it.

4. Most Girls Use the Word ‘cute’. . . Please Refrain from Cringing.

I know as I write this that I’m going to get 10 million reviews saying “I don’t say cute! Take that back, blah blah” and if you do. . well, you’re lying straight through your teeth. Every female I have ever known has used the phase ‘that’s cute’ at least once in their lives. Most of the time it comes out in a burst of “OMG!! That’s so freaking cute!!” It just happens. It’s like a reflex. I don’t try to understand it. This ‘cute’ might come from looking at a puppy/kitten/baby, a new dress/shirt/pants, or maybe even someone’s room. Even gothic girls will use this at times. Cute is a part of a girls vocabulary, and in most of us, it’s used quite often.

5. We Watch gasp Chick Flicks!

Come one. . admit it. You’ve watched at least one chick flick in your life. Even if they scare you, sometimes they can be amusing. Romance stories are in our blood. Almost every girl longs for ‘Prince Charming’ (shakes fist at Cinderella) to come and take her away on a white horse. And since most of us are realists and realize that there is no way that it will happen in this life (maybe in the next :D), we stick to watching movies about it. This can range from Disney to romances such as Titanic. (Note: If you watch any of these tearjerkers with a girl. . you will more than likely have her crying on your shoulder). A list of chick flicks are: Legally Blonde, What a Girl Wants, Princess Diaries, Gone With the Wind, Titanic, Chasing Liberty, etc. . You get the picture.

6. We Like Snuggling.

Yes. As a matter of fact, most girls will choose snuggling over sex. gasp Why? Well, mainly because we can get that while remaining unmarried. It also can last longer and you don’t run the risk of the guy leaving you the next day (or an unexpected child!). Nah, really, we like it because it’s a way of being with the person we love. It creates those little warm, fuzzing feelings that most girls long for. Snuggling is one of the greatest joys. I suggest you do it often :D

7. Handmade/Well Thought is Better than Diamonds

This is surprising. Besides, what happened to the Marilyn Monroe song “Diamonds are a Girl’s Best Friend”? In all reality, girls love stuff that you’ve specifically thought out/made for them. This includes songs/poems/naming a star. . Just joking . Now, I’m not saying we wouldn’t appreciate jewelry. . honestly, no red-blooded female is going to turn down jewelry. But it’s the fact that you’re not trying to ‘buy’ her love. . and that you’ve actually spent time picking out something that is perfect for her. . and we know you didn’t just go to the jewelry shop and pick out the first ring you found.

8. There is More to Girl Than Just Her Chest.

This is the biggestweakness in men. .and the most infuriating for girls. Not all of us are Pamela Anderson. We can’t exactly live up to your DD standards that you seem to have set since the moment you were born. And even the women who do have that standard end up hating it. Why? Because you will never get a guy to meet your eyes. His go straight to your chest. And that’s really sad. So guys. . I know you’re wired that way. . but try to see past that, can ya?

9. . Please Guys. . REMAIN IN MONOGOMY

In case you’re not sure what monogomy is, let me inform you. Monogomy means having one partner. Let’s count them. One. Not two. One. For Lord’s sake boys, DON’T CHEAT ON US. Ever heard the phrase “Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned”? If not, you just did. Let me tell you, it’s true. And it will forever ruin your reputation. Not only will you have lost your chance with the person you cheated on, you’ve probably lost the trust with the person you’ve cheated with. I mean, if you could cheat on someone else with them. . what would stop you from cheating on them? There was a scene in the TV show Fraiser where Daphne was talking with Niles and was accusing him of maybe liking another woman. When he asked why she would ever have thought that there would be another woman she replied with “Because Niles, for seven years, I was the other woman.” Let that stay in your minds. It’s the worst possible thing you can do in a relationship. Once you’ve broken that trust, you’ll almost never get it back.

Well, now you have all read my little ramble. Hopefully afterwards we're not quite so confused. All girls are basically wired the same way, just like guys :D Enjoy! And leave your thoughts!
