“You have too many gadgets.” – We are well aware that we own an iPhone as well as every incarnation of iPod that came before it. We have multiple cameras, computers, video game systems, etc. We know they aren’t exactly cheap. But you know what, they make us happy. Close your eyes and think of all of your MAC eyeshadows you have, and your closet full of shoes, and your collection of handbags. You’re all warm and fuzzy right now aren’t you? Well that’s how we feel about our electronic devices. Let’s call it even and move on, yeah?

“I cant stand your friends.” – Yes it goes both ways. You don’t like us complaining about your friends. We like it even less. No matter how childish, or gross, or utterly neanderthal you think our friends might be, we are not all that different from them, remember that. We most likely wouldn’t be friends if we weren’t so similar in the first place. The only reason you don’t see us do/say all the stupid things our friends do, is because we like and appreciate that you are sleeping with us, and we would like things to continue that way. Just saying…

“How do I look in this outfit? (aka. Please, tell me i don’t look as fat as i think i look…”) – Girls always play these games. They expect the guy to decode the girl-speak, and get to the subtext of what is really being said. If you have such a fragile self-esteem that you can only handle positive reassurance that you look “absolutely incredible” in whatever outfit you are in, then please just don’t ask us this question in the first place. This guy in particular hates playing those type of games. I value an honest answer when I ask a question. It’s only fair to expect that I am going to give an honest answer when asked one myself. Granted, a guy should show tact and choose his words carefully if he doesn’t have glowing things to say about what she’s wearing. So if your guy insensitively says, “It makes you thighs look kinda fat…” its time to peace-out anyway.

“Babe, tell me you love me.” – I cannot express how annoying this is. Girls, please put yourself in our shoes. If we were such emotional cripples, that we needed constant reassurance that you DO in fact love us, that would be a pretty big turn-off, would it not? No guy likes an emotionally needy girl. Scratch that, some guys do… but only because girls like that are so in need of validation from a man she’ll go home with him after meeting at the club that night. But beyond the 1-night stand, guys don’t want anything to do with a girl who needs to be emotionally coddled like that. Bleh.
