How true is that quote?!?\u00a0 Now I can\u2019t speak for every single woman out there, but I will go out on a limb and say that it is definitely true that a good majority of we women want our significant others to be able to read our minds.\u00a0 We want them to pick up on all of those words that we don\u2019t come out and say.\u00a0 I realize it is ridiculous of us to have that expectation of our men, but ridiculous or not, it is what we want.\u00a0 \u201cWhy\u201d, you men ask? \u00a0\u00a0I will try and explain why, but when I do you have to promise not to laugh or make fun of it, even though it will sound absolutely ludicrous to you\u2026ready\u2026no laughing\u2026we want you to read our minds because we feel that if we have to tell you what we want, then it won\u2019t mean as much to us when you give it to us. \u00a0Example:\u00a0 If we have to tell you we want flowers, then when you buy them for us we will\u00a0 think you only bought them because we asked you to and not because you loved us.\u00a0 Another example:\u00a0 If we have to tell you that we want you to say we look pretty then we will think you are only saying it to us because we asked you to and not because you actually think it.\u00a0 Yet another example:\u00a0 If we have to tell you to buy us a diamond for Christmas then when you buy it for us we will think \u2013 we will think \u201cwho the freak cares if he only bought me a diamond because I asked for it \u2013 it\u2019s a freaking diamond and I will take it!!!!\u201d\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Okay, that last one was a bad example, but for anything but diamonds, what I am explaining holds true.\u00a0 As women we want you as our man to figure out magically what we are thinking and what we want, and then act on it.\u00a0 I realize it is a totally irrational request, but we are women, and we are totally entitled to have irrational requests because you men already think we are irrational anyway and we certainly wouldn\u2019t want to disappoint you :).\u00a0 \u00a0Plus remember:<\/p>\n

\u201cMarriage is a relationship in which one person is always right and the other is the husband!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

All teasing aside, there is some genuine truth to what I am explaining.\u00a0 The smartest thing a man can do for the women he loves, right after buying her diamonds, which is always the #1 thing he can do, is for a man to listen to those subtle hints his woman will drop and then pay attention and act on them. For example, your woman says \u201cDid you see how cute the necklace was that Susy\u2019s husband bought for her?\u201d\u00a0 Interpretation \u2013 \u201cCall Susy\u2019s husband and find out where he bought that necklace and go buy it for me!\u00a0 But make it an even nicer one so that Susy will know that my husband loves me more than her husband loves her!\u201d. \u00a0\u00a0Another example, your woman says \u201cBabe, you don\u2019t have to buy me anything for Christmas this year. \u00a0I already have everything I need.\u201d\u00a0 Interpretation \u2013 \u201cIf you are dense enough to fall for what I just said then you are in some serious trouble mister! Of course you better buy me a gift for Christmas, oh, and make sure it is plenty sparkly!\u201d\u00a0 Yet another example, your woman says as you drive by a fast food restaurant, \u201cAre you hungry babe?\u201d\u00a0 Interpretation \u2013 \u201cI am starving and if you know what is good for you, you will pull into that drive through and get me a combo meal.\u00a0 And if you don\u2019t pull in it tells me that you think I am fat.\u00a0 So if you want me to know that you think I am skinny then pull in and make mine a super-sized combo.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t you see how easy it was to figure out what we really meant from all the subtle clues we drop?\u00a0 It\u2019s a piece of cake.\u00a0 So for all you men out there who want to make your woman happy, I have just given you the secret to making that happen – #1 diamonds.\u00a0 #2 read our minds – the clues are there for you just like those bread crumbs that led Hansel and Gretel through the woods\u2026all you have to do is follow them\u2026Nothing to it! \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Last, but not least,<\/p>\n

My wife suggested a book for me to read to enhance our relationship.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s titled, \u201cWomen are from Venus, Men are Wrong.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

And know that even though you are wrong, we still love you, because someone has to love you enough to help change you, and we women are confident that we can\u2026even if it takes a lifetime to make that happen.<\/p>\n
