I had a very interesting conversation with my guy last night... at
least, more interesting than usual. That's because usually I
help him to dive into the minds of girls. The classic questions
like, "Why do you need so many shoes?" and "What are
girls thinking when they look at me?" I'm only too happy
to oblige because, let's face it, the fairer sex is still a
mystery to them... which reminds me: check out this Cosmo post on
just that :
What
He Thinks When He Walks Through Your Door
But, moving on, I decided to return the (ahem) favor and ask him a
few questions about guys. There are always some things that I want
to know, and some very interesting, and yet totally obvious things
came up in the conversation. Like some of the things that we take
for granted, but never pay attention to, or we totally disregard
them. For instance:
The
Legs. The question is: Where have I been?! Legs are
still a huge thing for guys. Show 'em off a little (or a lot),
rub 'em against his or just let him have a little feel of
them.
I knew that guys liked legs that are attached to those girls... you
know the ones I mean. The ones with cellulite-free, scar-free,
evenly-tanned, mile-long legs. Yeah.
Those girls.
So imagine my shock when he told me that he liked mine.
Mine? Really? Was he serious? My cellulite-speckled,
scar-dotted, jiggly, five-different-shades-of-brown, totally
average legs? He was.
Is it all psychological? I mean, would other guys like them too? Or
is it just because he's
my guy? Its an interesting
thought. Because they're his, he loves them. So break out the
minis girls... apparently, we can look pretty good in them...
The Way to a
Guy's Heart Is Through His Stomach. I had
never thought about this one either. Well, I had, but I also
thought 'What possible guy would fall for me just because I
bake him some cookies?' Well, one did fall for me, but I'll
tell you a different story.
My sister's boyfriend's mother (I know, try keeping up with
that connection) never paid much attention to my sister...
that is, until she sent her boyfriend home with an apple pie. Now
she's very interested in my sister and what she's doing and
how she's doing and so on. What's also interesting to note
is that the mother also started to pay attention to
me
after I also sent my sister's guy home with something. If I was
a mean person, I'd tell my sister to watch out...and she'd
probably need to.
Doesn't this story prove just how much power you hold in your
hands if you can bake, or cook? If you can't, don't
worry....that's what storebought cookie dough is for! Buy some
and pop 'em in the oven just in time for your guy to
arrive...or the guy that you're trying to lure in...
The Eyes.
Never underestimate the power of the eyes. Guys will always love
your eyes. I know that I don't need to post a lot on this one,
just a few things. Spice it up a bit occasionally. Throw on a new
shade of eyeshadow. Go dramatic at night. If you can rock the
Indian princess look, go for it! The same goes for the smoky eyes.
And if you usually just go natural, just smooth a little bit of
sparkling eyeshadow on your lid in a shade that's not far from
your skin tone. Trust me... he'll notice, and love it even
more.
The Lips. Of
course he loves them! Do you know how many uses for lips a guys can
think of in a second in his mind? Plenty. And in a more innocent
way, lips can say a lot about a person. Do you smile a lot? Bite
your lip? Guys notice these things, even if its subconsciously.
Sometimes they look for specifics. Guys
do like it when
you smile. In fact, they love it. Do it more often. Flash your
teeth at him every once in a while. Somehow it works. He loves it
and you'll even start to feel like smiling may be your thing.
It turns on the charm. Just remember: smile. Don't grimace.
That's it for right now, but I'll continue the post!
