Im blown away by this list. It is just that stupid.

Women of the Escapist: IS this your list? Have you decided to create some Idol for you to worship down there in Babylon? For shame men are realistic not perfect.

alright, I can see myself doing some of these things, while it was just the two of us BUT take this into account, if some dude is just staring at his girlfriend, smelling her hair, how many can take this the wrong way, and what are the chances of them taking it the right way? seriously

For those of you who don't understand WHY women want these things, I have clarified the statements into Male speak.

1. Know how to make you smile when you are down.

Is always there to make you feel better, damn him if he's not.

2. Try to secretly smell your hair, but you always
notice.

He needs to be infatuated with you so that you can ruin his life later.

3. Stick up for you, but still respects your
independence.

He has to stick up for you, but you can still hate him for it.

4. Give you the remote control during the game.

You have so much control over him, that he can't enjoy anything he likes to do.

5. Come up behind you and put his arms around you.

He can touch you, but not in a way he might enjoy.

6. Play with your hair.

He needs to be so bored and depressed in life that this is the only thing he had left.

7. His hands always find yours.

Again, no touching in ANY way that might actually be fun for him.

8. Be cute when he really wants something.

He needs to act like a moron, then you turn him down on whatever it is he wants.

9. Offer you plenty of massages.

He needs to feel you, so that he can want you, but not actually be able to do anything about it

10. Dance with you, even if he feels like a dork.

He needs to make a fool out of himself, for no other reason than your amusement. Dance MonkeyBoy!! Dance!!

11. Never run out of love.

He never runs out of ways to be abused.

12. Be funny, but know how to be serious.

He needs to be a mindreader. Hate him for not knowing what you want at all times.

13. Realize he's being funny when he needs to be
serious.

Again, mindreader.

14. Be patient when you take forever to get ready.

He needs to understand, you are in control, it's just like a dog. He waits for you, not the other way around.

15. React so cutely when you hit him and it actually
hurts.

He needs to accept it when you beat on him.

16. Smile a lot.

He should be brain dead, and appear to be happy with you in public, even if you've just finished ruining his life.

17. Plans a romantic date full of cheesy things he
wouldn't normally like to do, just because he knows it
means a lot to you.

He should be so desperate to please you, that he will try anything.

18. Appreciate you.

He should eventually enjoy being abused.

19. Help others out.

He should be so afraid of you, that he does things for your friends, just to make you happy

20. Drive 5 hours just to see you for 1.

He should always be throwing away his time and money, just for the chance to be abused.

21. Always gives you a peck on the cheek when you
depart from each others company, even when his friends
are watching.

He should be so weakened that he intentionally embarrasses himself for your amusement.

22. Sing, even if he can't.

He should make a fool out of himself, for no reason.

23. Have a creative sense of humor.

He should be constantly thinking of ways to please you.

24. Stare at you.

He should be afraid to look away, or turn his back.

25. Call for no reason.

He should be paranoid that you are going to get him, and should always ask your permission to do anything.

26. Quit smoking, chewing, drinking, or drugs - just
because he loves u that much to quit it.

He should be willing to give up any, and all pleasures in life that he has.

I actualy fit quite a few of these. You'd be suprised at how much girls love you if you pretend to do most of these. And when someone says that I'm whipped I'm gonna laugh and laugh nd laugh.Here's some ways to pretend to nd get the bonu for it.
2. Try to secretly smell your hair, but you always notice.
You can actually just look over the top of thier head at something. No pain and free brownie poins.
3. Stick up for you, but still respects your independence.
Pretty self explaintory. Beat up boys who make fun of them. after dropping them, hold them and offer your girl a few punches of her own.
4. Give you the remote control during the game.
I don't watch sports so this is easy for me.
5. Come up behind you and put his arms around you.
Not really any way to fake this
8. Be cute when he really wants something.
Tigers are cute. And then they grow up. And they fucking MAUL you. (actually this gu is pretty much right. they think you're cute cause they know you can maul them and yet you pretend like they have power over nything but how muh sex you get)
9. Offer you plenty of massages.
Bullshit
10. Dance with you, even if he feels like a dork.
If I'm going down, I'm taking you with me. (true dat)
11. Never run out of love.
Cheesy and painful to read
12. Be funny, but know how to be serious.
Or be like me and be funnily serious 24/7
13. Realize he's being funny when he needs to be serious.
or be funny all the time while still maintaining serious edge
14. Be patient when you take forever to get ready.
Bring a fucking book. You will be waiting a long time so you get used to it.
15. React so cutely when you hit him and it actually hurts.
Pretend like it hurts. if she actually hurts you then you're a wimp and need a workout.
16. Smile a lot.
think megan fox
17. Plans a romantic date full of cheesy things he wouldn't normally like to do, just because he knows it means a lot to you.
I have no idea for this one. You're fucked
18. Appreciate you.
easy enough. even if it fakes
19. Help others out.
Helping old ladies cross the street is easy, painless and gets you points
20. Drive 5 hours just to see you for 1.
Not a chance in hell
21. Always gives you a peck on the cheek when you depart from each others company, even when his friends are watching.
Then as soon as she's gone, look at your freinds and break down laughing, thn explain that's it's this weird thing she has. (also works for mothers)
22. Sing, even if he can't.
For fun make it a deathmetal song, then back down from any other singing arrangments.
23. Have a creative sense of humor.
If you need advice for this you don't have it.
24. Stare at you.
creepy as shit. Don't do it
25. Call for no reason.
I don't use a phone so I'm clean
26. Quit smoking, chewing, drinking, or drugs - just because he loves u that much to quit it.
Like hell I wil
*smokes cigarette while breathing heavily*
One of my ex's wrote a list like this but with over 100 things. I broke up with her the next day.

1. Know how to make you smile when you are down.
Sure. I try to cheer her up.
2. Try to secretly smell your hair, but you always notice.
Sometimes, if it smells good that day.
3. Stick up for you, but still respects your independence.
She get's to do what she wants, but you must support/help her when she asks.
This favor is not returned.
4. Give you the remote control during the game.
Why? Can't I watch the game? Am I suddenly not allowed to watch TV? Only the things she wants to see? Screw that.
5. Come up behind you and put his arms around you.
This I do.
6. Play with your hair.
I don't mind stroking it from time to time.
7. His hands always find yours.
Sure, if we're sitting together or are out walking. Not always though.
8. Be cute when he really wants something.
I don't know what to make of this. You want me to beg?
If I really want something I go out and get it.
9. Offer you plenty of massages.
Massages usually lead to something more, so sure.
10. Dance with you, even if he feels like a dork.
I'm not dancing. Not ever.
11. Never run out of love.
Run out of love? I don't get it... You want me to not stop loving you?
Or do you want me to act like a lovestruck 14 year old for the rest of my life?
Rest assured, it will not happen.
12. Be funny, but know how to be serious.
This is not even worthy of a proper reply.
13. Realize he's being funny when he needs to be serious.
what?
14. Be patient when you take forever to get ready.
If we got the time, I'll go play a game or something. I don't mind.
15. React so cutely when you hit him and it actually hurts.
Yeah, sure. But you better know when to stop, cus I will hit back sooner or later.
16. Smile a lot.
Make sure I'm happy, and I'll smile.
17. Plans a romantic date full of cheesy things he wouldn't normally like to do, just because he knows it means a lot to you.
Yeah, sure. I do this.
18. Appreciate you.
Of course I do... jeezez...
19. Help others out.
If they are worthy of my help (i.e. friends/family) I will help.
20. Drive 5 hours just to see you for 1.
No.
21. Always gives you a peck on the cheek when you depart from each others company, even when his friends are watching.
I demand a proper kiss.
22. Sing, even if he can't.
Get me drunk, and I'll sing.
23. Have a creative sense of humor.
Creative sense of humor? what does that even mean?
24. Stare at you.
sure.
25. Call for no reason.
I do this religiously. I get easily bored.
26. Quit smoking, chewing, drinking, or drugs - just because he loves u that much to quit it.
Not happening.
My substance abuse is my own, and you don't own me.

Sigh...this thread just showed me how whipped I truly am...for someone I'm not even dating at the moment (sadly it's an ex that I've tried to remain good friends with). Actually, looking at the list again...she might have written it. Oh wait, no, there's no mention of massaging her feet even after she's worn sandals all day. Not her.

I guess I'm just an unromantic *****. >_>
Now I feel I'm unromantic too :(, since I agree with you on most things.

Number 2, 6, 24 and 25 are kinda odd (16 and 17 would depend on the guy's personality probably), and alot of the others are out of romantic comedies or something. I mean number 18 - if you need your guy to complement you all the time, thats a bit sad. Appreciation goes without saying - he wouldn't go OUT with you if he didn't appreciate you to some extent.
Besides, this all depends on personal preferences: I don't really like massages for example, so my boyfriend knows not to touch my back unexpectantly, else I'll probably punch him...

I don't see why he would have to do number 4! I mean, I wouldn't do that for him... Also, waiting if I take ages to get ready? No way, that would just be me taking advantage!

3. Stick up for you, but still respects your independence.
12. Be funny, but know how to be serious.
I'll just narrow it down to two ^ but the "respects your independence" bit seems a bit pointless. I mean, I wouldn't go out with someone unless they made me happy, so a list is silly, and just shows that person is unrealistic and unhappy with their relationships. If you try to see if the guy is perfect by using a list, then it shows you are uncertain about him.

I feel you, actualy. The only girl i care enough about to do most of this on purpose isn't even my girlsfriend, she's dating a dude who used to be my friend before my friends and I realized that he's an insecure jealous bastard. Most of it I do to most of my friend-girls because U have fun doing it

Then you where doing it wrong.
Nah, she gave me one of those shitty "it's not you, it's me" lines.
Owch... Maybe she just wasn't feeling the relationship.

Apparently I was a distraction and holding her back from her hopes and dreams and all that bollocks she wanted to do in life.

Really? My.. this is awkward...

Like, being serious, I can imagine there are some girls who'd like this stuff, but uh, cannot say I've ever met any. Cannot say I'd particularly want to meet any.

And I, personally, would definitely not want to be in the kind of relationship that list describes. It screams of either one person being used by the other, or the biggest stereotypical, shallow, this-is-what-couples-are-meant-to-do artificial excuse for two people to be 'going out'.

If a guy was like that with me, I'd call him a pussy and break up with him. Especially at this age

4 7 8 11 23 24 and 25 are broken, and the rest I'm being exceedingly generous, though a few of them don't apply to me. I can pretty much sing, I do it whenever I'm flirting with my friend, I don't smoke, so saying I would quit doesn't work because I don't know how addictions like that work.

Staring? Hm. That's...different. I don't know who said it, but I agree that the woman who wrote this is a tad egocentric if she was serious, but some of this stuff is relationship 101 blended with a bit of egocentricity. I think it's parody time, don't you?

Wow...idealism at work...

I find it interesting how worked up some people seem to be getting over this though...it's just a list after all. A list of things women, may or may not want a guy to do some or all of in a relationship. It is not, however, a list of legal requirements. Basically, it boils down to one concept:

Women want their boyfriends to love them, and be interested in them, and to not mind showing it

This is exactly the same as what guys want in a relationship, (for all the try-hards out there might go on about how the only thing a man cares about is sex. Women care a lot about sex in a relationship too, we just don't go on and on about it) the lists just differ in the particulars, and that's what makes relationships bot challenging and rewarding.

My take on a few of the more inflammatory ones:

* offer you plenty of massages - there's really only one ultimate outcome of giving your gf a massage...I don't even think this list expects it to be a chaste one, so I'm not sure why some people are seeing this as a bad thing.

* come up behind you and put his arms around you - geez, people, it's a freaking hug - I don't get the problem here?

* stare at you - I think this refers to liking to look at you in an appreciative way, not a stalkerish way. Because I can't think why a girl like the one who would want all of the things on this list (or indeed any girl) would want anyone to stare creepily at her.

* React so cutely when you hit him and it actually hurts - I think that, rather than actual 'hitting', what this refers to is one of those scenarios where he says something crass, and she pretends coyly to be offended and 'swats' him lightly, but it actually stings a bit, as swats are want to do. I'm not excusing any kind of domestic violence perpetrated by either gender toward the other, but really, I think people are reading too much into this. There's a stereotype that girls can't hit properly (we're supposed to bitchslap ineffectually, right?), like girls can't throw or whatever. Swatting someone on the arm lightly in jest may be done by either gender to the other without constituting domestic violence, people. Light swat does not equal leaving bruises and splitting lips.
