11 Things For Men

In response to my friend's blog, Tales From Washington D.C., and an article on MSN today titled "11 Secrets Men Don't Know About Women", I decided to share my thoughts on the topic. First of all, I don't really agree with many of the items on the MSN list. Except #11. Totally on board with that one. But #2, c'mon, I'm funnier than lots of guys. I agree with the first part of #8, but would never demand a valet. If I choose to wear uncomfortable shoes, I must be prepared to endure whatever the night brings. I don't know, maybe I'm just not high maintenance. And I love explosions.

So since I don't agree with the majority of the MSN ones, here are my own:
1. I'm pretty awesome. (read: pretty=extremely)
2. I like boys that a) play an instrument (preferably guitar), b) wear jewelry (nothing gaudy, but you know, a ring or a necklace of sorts) and c) have glasses. If you hit two of the three, I'm alright with that.
3. If you discuss music with me, you're in.
4. A sense of humor means everything.
5. You better feel lucky to be hanging out with me. If for no other reason than to know a girl that is just as excited to watch/listen to/argue about/play sports as you are.
6. I am super confident and I want you to be that way as well. Part of life is embarrassing yourself so laugh it off. It's no big deal. (Ask me about the time I spilled the soup.)
7. Dance! Even if you think you can't, there is no shame in simply moving back and forth with your hand on my waist. I'll do the rest.
8. I'm low maintenance. I don't need you to buy me flowers, candy and presents for all holidays. I don't need you to call me every day to see how my day was. What do I need? Just spend time with me every now and then. :)
9. Looks are not everything. Seriously.
10. A small gesture is just as good as a big one. An attempt at a gesture is just as good as a succeeding one.
11. If we get married (a huge "if" just in case my future husband is reading) we will be selecting a night every month or two to hang out, get a bit of a buzz on and be ridiculous. Probably we should do this before marriage too. Cause it's too good of an idea to wait.

So now you know.
