25 Things a Perfect Guy Would Do

[Haunted Serenity]

I've been married for almost a year and dated my wife for 2.5 years before that day. I did all those things and more and still do. Now tell me internet list...why if a guy is perfect according to you that the relaionship should be circling the drain that you seek to taunt me with this...i've seen it 14 times in the past 3 weeks. seriously this list has been around from when i first started bloody dating. well you evil list. Note the forum poster had the right idea bringing this to the attn of people everywhere heed this warning.

You will slip up in a relationship you are human(please not the author believes all the forum posters are human untill proved innocent) that is no reason to destroy a perfectly good relationship. and for all the stubborn men and women out there. you cannot change them. you can change you. if it looks sour bail and never look back(again the author realises he is being a hypocrit<swearing again...oooo look one in russian this time..glark...ck>....author notes censor brain has been killed and the author subcousis is being chased NNNOOOOO OMG AUGHH my spleen)

all of those reasons above that seem like insanity began to happen because i got married...think before you do this

24. Stare at you.

I've received a restraining order for this one.

This is the most naiive list I've ever seen. Somebody should post 25 things a perfect woman would do to counter

That's the least mature concept I've ever heard.

Firstly because a 'perfect woman' is an oxymoron.

Nope Anny, these are the least mature concepts I've ever heard.

And that's why the 'perfect guy' either doesn't exist or likes men

Just excuse the numerous people agreeing with the list.

 

[Robyrt]

This list is perfectly reasonable, from the perspective of a young girl with a macho, insecure boyfriend. Those of us who are not ashamed to be openly romantic, or to look stupid in order to make someone you love feel better, already do at least 15 of these 25 things.

Although I personally draw the line at #20. I'm not driving anywhere unless I can get at least a 1:1 ratio.

Women are kind of like cards...err, poker I mean.

If you always 'play your hand and let opponents play you with their hand', your odds of 'success' are highly reduced.

In other words, they play 'games' with us. It's like...bluffing in poker. You need to counter and counter-attack these bluffs.

Certain women and their, eh...'lists', especially the ones that are borderline feminist. They need to be counter-attacked with 'game'. And it can be done.

 

[Anarchemitis]

Just excuse the numerous people agreeing with the list.

One can try to be the perfect guy, and the first thing they can do to try, is to not for one moment, think about themselves.
Counter me that.

Well, I sort of don't understand what you mean by that. I'm not saying being the perfect guy, just love them unconditionally, and if you're in a great relationship, they would do the same. What's thinking about themselves fit into this?

I think you guys are taking this a little too seriously. Most women know that guys are never going to do those things. And what a "perfect man" is is different to every woman.


Mostly, I just don't want a guy who blames everything I say that he doesn't like on PMS. But then, I like mature men, not college frat boys. Mature men know they can't just expect sex for nothing. We expect something in return.

You talk like a woman who's watched far too many American Sit Coms.

...not really. I don't really like sitcoms. I've just been to college. And in my experience, college guys act like you owe them something for existing and will blame you if they act like jerks. But--honestly--the college I go to is across the street from Notre Dame University, so a lot of guys who go there feel like they're entitled to whatever they want because they're from rich families. It's a sweeping statement to say 'all college frat boys', yes and I'll admit to that. And, of course, not all guys are like that.

It was just weird to watch all the guys on here flip out about a list. When, if you truly love who you're with--you don't need a list because the point of loving someone is each person thinks about the other first. Women aren't just ungrateful bitches who expect a man to worship them. And they're all making it sound like that's what women are.

if a girl expected me to travel 5 hours just to spend one hour whit her and then travel 5 hours back she must be insane, Ive been siting in the train for 5 hours and you wont even let me crash, seriously i would most likely end the relationship if she asked me after such a long trip to go home after one hour.

Ah, I see. I couldn't imagine that living in a country without real frat boys, but I was moreso talking about your last line. You make it seem that sex is sort of a gift, reward or something to trade. I would hope not in a relationship. Isn't more consensual to two people with no strings? Most Tv shows make it seem as if all the man wants is sex and would be a fool to deny it while the woman uses it to get what she wants. Those sorts of things make me shudder. But I guess it wasn't what you were talking about?

Where I am girls my age just want a guy who wears tight pants, converse sneakers, scarves all year long, and plays guitar. I wear long leans, work boots and play the trombone.

So you can see how hard it is. Maybe I should try sniffing their hair, I hear that always works.

 

[Captain Picard]

Conforming your every action to every passing whim and fancy (no matter whether it's communicated or not, I guess it's the guy's job to just know these things without a word being spoken) works ONLY if they do the same for you. It doesn't work when the girl offers little in return, yet expects the guy to basically exist for her pleasure.

My ideal girl won't mind my serious personality, she won't expect that I can just make a joke off the top of my head, or play the clown in a way that instantly pleases her(I suddenly have this mental image of a pre-shcooler being entertained by a balloon blowing clown making childish faces and noises). She won't be ruled by her emotions, she won't strike to inflict pain unless there's really a reason to. She will realize how irrational it is for me to drive 5 hours just to see her for 1, and won't mind when I make the RATIONAL choice. There will be mutual thanks that we support eachother, not a sense of entitlement. She will be clear and honest about her expectations and desires, not coy and obfuscatory, then be angry when I can't divine what she really wants.

This list sounds like it was made by a girl who doesn't meet any of these critera I am looking for. In other words, a girl who's just really damn immature.

My brain hurts from the double standards and downright retardation...

Number 10. How depressing.
I mean..It's..GAY. Really GAY.
Um..

Seriously..I wonder who thinks of these lists?

How is it gay? Knowing how to dance is considered sexy by a majority of the girls I know.

Nothing gets a girl hotter than a gay guy.

I should know, when people thought I was Gay girls wouldn't leave me alone.

It was just weird to watch all the guys on here flip out about a list. When, if you truly love who you're with--you don't need a list because the point of loving someone is each person thinks about the other first. Women aren't just ungrateful bitches who expect a man to worship them. And they're all making it sound like that's what women are.

Not all women are. Only about 8 out of 10 that I've ever met are.

But that other 20%? The kind of women I just might worship .

I think most guys hate the list because television channels like Lifetime propogate this sort of bullshit. Basically saying that all men abuse their wives, watch football, and demand endless blow jobs.

Yet for the exception of (as you mentioned) frat boys, most guys I've known just want sex at all (some of them are in what I like to call dry relationships), and they go out of their way to make sure their girlfriend or wife is happy. I just got done watching a father (and husband) have a panic attack in his car because he fucked up what he had planned to be a "Perfect Return" for his currently stressed wife.

The dude was in shambles because he failed but managed to shape up before she opened the door to the car. I often wonder how many other guys actually try that hard and never get the recognition THEY deserve .

On an unrelated note. Anytime a woman is with a guy who wants sex all the time, I think it is entirely fair to take something the woman wants all the time and tell the guy that for as long as she doesn't have it he doesn't get sex.

Mainly because I tend to find in those relationships where the guy is accused of being a sex addict, the woman has some sort of vice that she indulges in everyday.

But this unrelated note is on just specifically that particular relationship. The one where the woman calls the man a sex addict. It in no way pertains to women or relationships as a whole .

But you were using it in a negative tone. Dancing is awesome; pity I don't know how.

I didn't use it in a negative tone. Direct your quotes better. Or learn the meaning of negative [http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/negative] or tone [http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/negative].

Oh, no, no. I don't believe that. Unfortunately, that idea is backed up by trash television sitcoms and reality tv--that guys only want to get in your pants and therefore, women should use sex as a weapon/tool to retaliate/get what they want. And I see that sort of thing around the college setting a lot (where if both parties would just be upfront and say what they want out of an encounter, they could save themselves a lot of trouble).

That's not something I personally condone at all. I think it's a terrible idea to encourage. Mature men and women don't need to resort to that sort of thing, in my opinion--and that might make me sound like a prude--but, ah well. I don't like the sexual stereotypes and problems that seems to come along with that scene.

How does that sound like a compliment? In fact, your comment above shows me that you have very little experience in most things. I have to assume you're quite young.

Ah, I see. I'm glad I'm not in that sort of zone among frat boys and whatnot. At least I have never found myself in that situation.
