9 Signs He's a Keeper. WTF?

[Captain Pancake]

My friend got 8/9 of those, yet his relationship's still in a rut.

Maybe I should stop documenting this guy's life on the escapist... He could do it himself, Ghostknifefish.

 

[Spacelord]

This is housewife material, gentlemen, cease your outrage! Instead be happy not all women buy into this. (they don't do they?)

Confidence, fidelity, consideration. Pick two. Because, 99% percent of the time, that is what you get from men.

Huh, I've got all those...

And the only rule with no exception is everyone considers himself the exception to the rule.

Ahh...you got me there. But, if I had to choose one....confidence. At times I'm very self confident and couldn't give a shit what others think, yet I still have moments where I feel as if everyone in the room is staring at me and laughing behind my back.

1. He remembers your name
2. He acts sorry when he forgets your birthday
3. He acts sorry when he forgets your anniversary

I would be freaked the hell out if my fella called my mother...well, about anything, really, but especially about something like a promotion. Just plain weird.

If you only read the headlines of each of the nine points, then it's a solid enough starting point. And honestly, you can switch the genders -- that's how a girl should treat her guy, too.

How would you feel if he called his own mother?

Bullshit

My steak is my fucking steak, and I'm getting the best damn part. I'll buy you clothes, a few purses, some shoes, and maybe even some cigarettes, if you smoke. But you do not touch my fucking food.

I'll get you your own damn steak. Food, guns, games; don't touch. But you're first in everything else, and you should know it by now.

Do this and your significant other will think your're a weak piece of garbage and either:

A: Cheat on you.

B: Leave you.

It is creepy. I'm a woman and I wouldn't want my boyfriend to call my mom. That seems strange.

My personal favorite from a list ended up sounding more like the woman was looking for a submissive for bdsm rather then a boyfriend XD

"He obeys your every whim"

I was half expecting the next to be "He knows his place" and "He has no limits" XD

1. He keeps driving you raving insane.

2. He sleeps all of time.

To tell her that I got a promotion? Hmm...that's kind of sweet, really. That shows that he's proud.

Yes, men. Do all these things, and your girlfriend will stay with you forever. Too bad you'll be a rotting husk of what you once were.

Sorry, but I'm not into the whole giving up the best piece of meat and going to see movies I dislike all the time. I'll do it every now and then, sure. But fuck you if you expect me to see a Nicholas Sparks movie every weekend. And anyone who wants someone like that is just plain evil.

I officially declare this article to be shit.

I laughed my ass off at your comment, thanks for making my day

Anyhoo, I agree with that completely. Its just moronic.

I thought this was a lovecraft thread.

How to tell if your boyfriend is chulthu

...I thought this was a Prey thread.

What men should be like, written by...some lady. The kind of guy she describes, is a pushover. She may think she wants a man like that, but if she did...I doubt she would respect him.

 

[Gerazzi]

meh, I've seen much, much worse expectations.
and I'm totally not just saying that just because I fit a majority of the descriptions, honest!

Like putting your girl first. I honestly can't STRESS how important this can be in a relationship. I put my boyfriend first and he puts me first, so no one feels underappreciated or not loved. If you don't put your girlfriend first, she'll probably end up thinking that you don't care about her. Trust me, it's a quick way ruin a serious relationship.

This works until you realize that, as a professional responsibility, a pastor quite literally can't put his wife first. In this sort of a situation, the pastor puts God (his congregation) before his wife, but that is made abundantly clear before the relationship becomes serious. That said, the opposite is true, and that sort of a relationship is one where both know and understand what it means to work for the church.

Fuck the signs. I know my man's a keeper, and I'm sure I'm the same in his eyes.

 

[Stalk3rchief]

I read the article and honestly, I fit into all of those categories, minus the 'talk to mom' one, I know her family, and now I just want to forget about them.
These things are pretty standard honestly, I never thought it made me a good boyfriend, just a boyfriend. I mean, if you don't KNOW your girl, and are afraid of her when she's sick, then your just not boyfriend material IMO.

 

[Diablini]

So I just saw this article on Yahoo! that shows the 9 signs that your boyfriend is a keeper.

http://dating.personals.yahoo.com/singles/datingtips/88524/dating-tips-9-signs-a-guy-is-a-keeper/

And I just thought, what the fuck?

Now, some of these "signs" sound pretty legit, like "His Act is Together" or "He Remembers the Little Things" but the rest seem wierd. Its like the person who wrote this is just listing the characteristics of a non existing fantasy boyfriend. I don't know anyone who is like what they listed.

The rest of their signs sound like the guy is either a little too clingy or a fucking stalker.

"When your guy calls your mom to tell her about your promotion before you do" Thats just creepy. Why would anyone do that? Its their family, let them do their own shit.

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.

Now son. You are just growing up and discovering the stupid things some women like to read. Most of them think that every man cares more about them, then their reproductive orgains. I am not saying this is true for every woman, but I have seen them think this way. It's just women being women.

 

[Lucifus]

Ughh stereotypical relationship crap.

Im sorry but most women i know would vomit at this, and its making me barf too.
