10 Things You Didn’t Know You Wish Men Knew About You

Oh, Men’s Health, I think I owe you a thank you note! Just when I think I’ve run out of stuff to blog about, you never fail to provide something so silly, so ridiculous, I’d be a fool to pass up the opportunity to poke some some fun. Today’s gem is an article called “50 Things Women Wish Men Knew,” which should really be called “20 Things Every Man Should Know Before He’s 10 and 30 Things Only Terribly Insecure, Needy, Neurotic Women Want Their Men To Know.” After the jump, 10 things from the article I can’t imagine any woman I know wishing her man knew about her.
- I’m convinced I’m pregnant and obsess about it for a minimum of 24 to 48 hours before my period, even when I have no rational reason to think so.
- I get turned on simply seeing that I have an e-mail from you.
- If I’m not having sex with you, I’m… a.) ...having a fat day. b.) ...not feeling “connected” to you. c.) ...blackmailing you to get something I want.
- I own a Debbie Gibson CD, and I’m not afraid to use it.
- If you ask me out directly, I will say yes.
- I want to be Madonna.
- I need to hear how you feel about me. Often. Tell me now.
- I love it when you’re sweaty.
- I love holding your bum in the palms of my hands.
- You should know all this and more without my telling you.
No, you shouldn’t. Really.

Well I really don't like sweaty men..If I can choose sweat or no sweat the whole no sweat thing wins every time.And I don't like "holding bums in the palm of my hands"If someone asks me out directly I will not always say yes.Don't want to be Madonna...I could go on. I disagree with 7 out of these ten, and more from the bigger list. Oh no!Gosh, I just must not be a woman!

#2 or maybe you're just more in a reading a book/watching tv/eating ice cream kind of mood than a sexy one? So much of the media makes it seem like women would choose having sex over any other activity at any minute of the day unless something is seriously wrong with her relationship. How come just not being horny 24/7 is never an option?

This article should have been called "A Man's Last-Ditch Guide to Pretending You Understand Women" -- the 20 common-sense things are just there to make the 30 off-the-wall ones sound legit to poor schmucks who don't know any better.

I'm guilty of 1, 2, and 8. WHOOPS. Though I don't spend 24 hours straight "obsessing" and the man sweat can get excessive.

Debbie belongs in there with who ever did "DropKick Me Jesus Through the Goal Posts Of Life" It is the ultimate threat. I have had one who was guilty of #9 and didn't conceal it. Talk about light my fire.

I disagree with all of these. In fact #7 just plain pisses me off. I hate it when men do that. That and asking how you are and if you're ok all the time too. And as for #3 did it never occur to these people that perhaps, and this is a long shot, that someone can not want sex 24/7? Idiots.

#1-Guilty, but I do not wish my bf knew this.#2-Stupid- "Oh look! I have an email from my bf! Wait!Here it comes..awrehjg aoisrASRHGAOjaowerijgaow eaw0293457802u3t5q93ujroiwjefoiawjefo iawjoithaweo4trhaw! That orgasm TOTALLY rocked my sox. Now let's open it and see what he wants. "Sup" Isn't he dreamy!"--- NOT!#3-False- Have these men ever took a second to consider that maybe we just dont f****** feel like it? Just maybe? #4-FALSE- I don't even know who that is. The only Debbie I know is the one who makes me happy when i have a sugar craving. Unlike men, she never hears me say no. : )#5-Just no..no no no NO!#6-^see the above^#7- I like to know how you feel about me but if you overdo it and say it alllll the time, it's meaningless. So, once again, NO!#8-I don't mind sweaty. Wouldn't say i love it though.#9-Ha! Guilty.#10- Since the majority of these are false, you shouldn't know these.

Why would I want my BF to know that I irrationally obsess a/b being pregnant right before my period?? I mean, wouldn't that just make him a nervous wreck too? I mean, really -- just b/c I'm obsessing doesn't mean that I want to know a/b it so that you can call me every 5min to ask if I've started bleeding yet!!! oh, and if I like your tush, wouldn't you know it without me having to say it?? I would *think* me grabbing it would be obvious enough!!! ;)

Let's see, you want me to trust you, but your going to hold back. NOT GOING TO WORK!I have many talents but mind reading isn't among them. If you want me to know something just tell me. Nothing puts me off more then someone holding back and leaving land mines behind. This doesn't mean that I need to know about your period complications on the first date, there is an appropriate time to reveal things in a relationship. Do so wisely and honestly.

Wow. "Men's Health" knows something about me that I don't know? Whewwww... I'm *so* relieved. To think I've been walking around so repressed all these years. Thank you so much for liberating me from my torture! Thanks for the chuckle, Wendy!@Pas Quotidienne: funny!@Fast Eddie: forget reading minds or mines or between the lines--or the lines on a mag list not to be taken seriously!

It's like my eyes have finally been opened. So long a mystery to me, you women are now revealed. *evil laugh*Some of my favorites from the original article:<b>2. Real men drive stick shift.</b> I'd think real men drive whatever they feel like driving (I drive stick, for the record, as well as automatic... I guess that makes me indecisive).<b>6. I love it when you hug me from behind and whisper in my ear.</b> An amazing secret, because it's not like <i> almost everyone on Earth</i> likes this, at least occasionally.<b>8. Most of the time when I fantasize, it's about you.</b> Sure....<b>15. Oral sex is your get-out-of-the-doghouse-free card. Manolo Blahnik shoes also do the trick.</b> Well, I'll take the free option over the many-dollars one, especially since it seems I can do whatever I want as long as I'll go down on you. Good to know. I suppose this cancels out lying, disrespecting you, ignoring you... all you need is a little of that, and I'm clear. Excellent. I totally believe this.<b>20. When I compare my flabby tummy to a kangaroo pouch, say nothing.</b> Yes, saying absolutely nothing is bound to be the proper response here. I know that saying "Hey, great! Let me be your joey!!" is bad, but I think saying nothing isn't good either.<b>24. If I slept over, you owe me breakfast.</b> Depends on how good I was. And yes, I'm kidding. Well, unless I was really good. And if I don't make you breakfast, I can just go down on you, and you'll forgive me.<b>26. If you ask me out directly, I will say yes.</b> Cool! Now, where do the Victoria's Secret models hang out? I can't lose!My favorite:<b>39. I like it when you tell me what you're thinking, even if you don't know yourself.</b> Yeah, that makes sense.

Trinity maybe.7) I don;t want lip service, I'd rather you show me.8) Well not drippy gross sweaty.9) BooYa10)I don't expect any guy to be a mind reader, that's just game playing.@ jsw as always the rules have been revised based on recent leaks of inside intel. Your comments have me rolling! Maybe you should write for Men's Health it would be an improvement

@DancingGeek: I'd be no use as a writer for Men's Health. I strongly suspect (from their many articles similar to the one linked above) that most of their writers have never actually been with a woman before, either due to orientation (NTTAWWT) or lack of social skills, and so my comments would be seen as bizarrely and unacceptably unreal. Not that I'm Mr. Experience, but still.... Then again, in the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king. Maybe I should apply there. BTW, I particularly love your answers #3 and #6 and find #7 to be something more people of both sexes should know.
