Haha, only read the first two and glad to say none of my mates or myself fit into that (thank fuck).

The deepest our conversations get is: a) about Tits b) about Arses c) about Tits and Arses d) about insulting each other.

Maturity is dull.

Besides, how boring would it be being with someone who licks your arse the entire time?

"No no, eat all my food, I insist!"

#2. Keeper clue: He puts you first.
Picture a delicious platter of grilled steak. Does your man offer it to you first to pick the best piece? He does if he's a keeper! "When it comes to taking the best piece of meat or offering it to you, that's a metaphor for how he'd always put you first the rest of your life,"
I guess im a horrible, horrible man.

Yahoo is just perpetuating the spoiled-girl "perfect man" fantasy, which is why so many American girls (and it's American girls who love to read these sorts of articles) are so completely un-marriageable. American women seem to want doormats. This is why I say to the younger dudes here, "Women are like cars and beer. You want to be happy? Don't buy American."

I doubt nine signs would be needed.

I personally thought it was about football/soccer.

That guy she describes sounds like a codependent neurotic or the personification of one persons values shoved down the rest of our throats. If you want someone that constantly revolves around you then you likely possess an ego issue. If you want someone that lives for you and not themselves, get a pet or slave. Healthy boundaries make for better relationships; do things for each other not just him putting her first. Putting general rules out there can be dangerous because then women may judge their prospective mate by the criteria they read instead of whatever conscious or subconscious criteria led them to meet their prospective mate in the first place. Different strokes for different folks. I've had long rewarding relationships (last girl was 7 years) and don't think I'd ever make it more than a month with any girl that took that list seriously.
Finally! Somebody's managed to put into words exactly what I've wanted to say all these years! Well done.

Really? I do all nine of those for my wife.
I don't think they are unrealistic or anything.
That's nice, does she let you take your testicles out of her trophy case on holidays?

Sorry, that was childish. I wanted to say it, but I retract it for the rest of this post.

I personally think that whilst there's nothing wrong with being nice, if people take these things too seriously, they'll largely be unhappy. If you look for that whole list, all at once, in someone you've not been with for a long time, you're not likely to find them - you end up being too demanding of your average joe.

I confess, over the average year, I probably do all those things for my partner of 7 years. Over the same year, I will also eat the nice steak, forget a *lot* of things and if this year is anything to go by, accidentally force her to camp in the middle of a field of druggies for a weekend so that I can see a pair of DJs for two hours on the final night.

If you're a fan of these lists, or of unreasonable expectations, save yourself some time and stalk a Hugh Grant character. Avoid the real thing - you'll be in for an unpleasant surprise.

Why stop the analogy at cars and beer? :p

Why is it always the man having to do this? Woman demand equal rights and when it comes to a relationship it's all up to the guy spoiling her and licking her ass.

Don't get between a man and his steak!

Articles like this are exceptionally common. And it's depressing. I think that instead of telling women what they should expect from their partners it'd be better to write articles on what shows a relationship has gone sour, if you must write them at all. They get publicity because a lot of women are insecure and looking for advice but lack anything truly worthwhile to go to.

Equally as bad, if not worse, are the articles in magazines like Cosmopolitan which run along the lines of "here's how to change everything about yourself in order to please him" and similar, including very specific articles on how to please him in the bedroom. Or those which go "how to tell he's cheating/questioning/perving on your friends/spending too much time with your mother without asking him directly" and then list off probable 'signs'.

Relationships should be based on communication, and kept strong by it. The reliance on external advice and definitions tends to weaken both the relationship and the communicative abilities of those within it.

1. Know how to make you smile when you are down!
When will women realize that they don't live on the set of a romantic comedy? Unless making you smile involves me playing video games while you cook me a steak, you're in for a disappointment. You don't think guys ever feel "down?" The door swings both ways, *****.

2. Try to secretly smell your hair, but you always notice.
What? Why the hell would I want to smell a woman's hair? It smells bad enough with all the sprays and perfume they use. Enough with the conditioners, sprays, and cream already; that shit makes my eyes water. What the hell is conditioner anyway?

3. Stick up for you, but still respects your independence.
Translation: bail you out when you fail at life, but never bring it up during conversations.

4. Give you the remote control during the game.
This one is inherently stupid because it implies that all guys like to watch "the game." Since I'd rather be shot in the chest with projectile diarrhea than watch "the game," I'll assume the author meant something worthy of watching, such as Ren & Stimpy, in which case you need to put the ***** down if she touches your remote.

5. Come up behind you and put his arms around you.
LAME. Who has time for this? Sounds like something out of a herpes commercial where some lady is rock climbing or doing something else which symbolizes her independence, then out of nowhere she blurts out "I HAVE HERPES." The music gets all serious and you hear a voice over "...there is no cure," cue inspirational music "but treatment is available." Then it cuts to a shot of the ***** on a beach and a guy runs up behind her and puts his arms around her. Good job dumbass, you're dating a skank with herpes.

6. Play with your hair.
Again with the hair? Women never play with the hair on my back, why the double standard?

7. His hands always find yours.
This is one of those things women read and say "AWW HOW ROMANTIC." I have news for you: holding hands is stupid. Women don't know the first thing about being romantic. Only lesbians hold hands anyway; allow me to explain. The only time it's acceptable to hold hands with anyone is if you're at a peace vigil. Guys don't go to peace vigils, period. If you do, you have to surrender your balls and get a sex transplant because you're a *****; in either case, you're a woman, and when two women hold hands it can only lead to one thing as far as I'm concerned.

8. Be cute when he really wants something.
Bullshit. When I want something, I yell. If she can't hear me in the kitchen, sometimes I'll threaten beatings if I'm sober.

9. Offer you plenty of massages.
For your boobs maybe. I happen to have the uncanny ability to massage breasts. With my mouth.

10. Dance with you, even if he feels like a dork.
Let's face it: there are few things in this world more stupid than dancing. Except break dancing, which pirates and lumber jacks would agree is awesome. Other than that, dancing makes me envy cripples.

11. React so cutely when you hit him and it actually hurts.
See, this is what pisses me off about women: they expect special treatment at their discretion. They want equal rights, equal pay, and equal treatment for everything EXCEPT when it comes to shit like this, then they want you to "react cutely" instead of, say, putting them in a head lock and making them eat ants and/or spiders while you give them carpet burn. Why don't women react "cutely" when men hit them for a change? Oops, I forgot, that's domestic abuse.

12. Drive 5 hours just to see you for 1.
Any guy who would drive five hours just to see a chick for one is an asshole. If every guy drove around for five hours just to spend one with their girlfriend, we'd fill up the air with so much pollution that we'd all choke on the exhaust, get cancer, and then bake under the sun while our lungs rupture and we slowly die from internal bleeding.

13. Stare at you.
You stupid attention seeking whore, just buy the ***** a mirror, because apparently she thinks that you don't have anything better to do than to sit around and stare at her. If women ran the world, we'd still be searching for the wheel.

14. Call for no reason.
Oops, this one belongs on the list of "Twenty-six things women do that piss men off because they need to fill their otherwise vapid lives with something to make them feel like they have a purpose for existing as they eventually realize that they're pissing their youth away on stupid bullshit like fashion trends."

This is a much more accurate, and manly list.
We should write out own list, about how girls should act, dudes.

I think it's a flaw in our culture that we feel the need to define people like that as less male. To be a man does someone seriously have to be uncaring, gruff, violent and refer to all women, even those in which they are relationships with negatively? "Hoe" is more than a little bit pejorative. Implying that the person you're dating either sells themselves for sex, or is pimped out, sure says a lot for the male in question.

Also just to hammer my point a little further into the manure-like turf of this thread, the percentage of men who would WILLINGLY AND JOYFULLY fit into every point of this article would be extremely low. Now if this is the only mold for the perfect mate, where does that put the large majority of men? Are we really expected to believe that just because we love steak and movies that include explosions/exposed breasts that we are completely intolerable by the opposite sex? I'm by no means saying that I would never turn myself away from such things for the benefit of my better half, but to have it expected of you every time is rubbish. Also, the decent man who enjoys such things would never take it for granted whenever his girl un-naggingly sits through "Things that explode 5: Gratuitous Nudity Island". That is the sort of mate that I would gladly sit through "The Notebook" for.

Dude just using the phrase. I love woman. I'm completly against sexism. But we all know this sterotype how women like men who act like women and are more open etc. I do prize my male behaviour, but it never hurts to have a soft spot.

Anyway, what do you guys think? Personally, these articles on relationships are all the same and they always list a fantasy boyfriend that will never exist.
Cosmopolitan has been doing things like this for years. In the push to equality now men are regarded as pieces of meat (or rather plastic) as well.

Just a bit depressing that we have to sink to the lowest level of definitions.
