Ten things I've learned from guys

I always envied the Y chromosome carriers for the easy life they seem to have. You know they way they always get out of trouble and things just come their way magically, not to mention they don't have to worry about PMS, and they always get more dough at work.

So, after years of observing their behavior I've come to understand some things about them that are actually cool. 

Here we go:

1. Forgiveness should come naturally

You don't see guys holding grudges like we do, and I bet whomever said, quote: "revenge is a dish best served cold" was a lady. Now, I have to admit, there's nothing sweeter than revenge but it also time and energy consuming, which is not good. Guys say what they have to say WHEN something annoys them (they do not keep it in mind for other times like most of us do) and get over it. Hell, in some ways they remind me of children. Kids fight whenever something bothers them but make up after 5 minutes and become the best of friends once again. When something steps on their nerves, girls become a ticking bomb.

2. A good sense of humor gets you out of trouble 

You know how whenever you screw up, first you think of what went wrong, how could you have done it better and then how to fix it. Guys screw up and when they realize it they crack some jokes and voilà ! The problems melt. No one can stay angry on someone who has something funny to say and give you the puppy eyes after. It's much easier to stay angry at someone who admits they did something wrong and feel bad about it.

3. Spending less time in front of a mirror is beneficial 

Guys don't spend half as much time as us in front of a mirror which turns out to be a good thing. Now I know they don't have to apply make up and then make sure it doesn't get ruined, but we over react sometimes. We spend so much time in front of the mirror trying to fix each and every flaw until that's all we see and we forget how beautiful we truly are.

4. An advice is not always required 

Guys usually listen to what you have to say and be there for you. Girls go extra miles (which is very cute, but not necessary nor helpful sometimes) - they listen and comfort you after which they give you tons of advices... which are not always the best ones.

5. Comfier is healthier

Those wonderful heels that damage your feet, those low waist jeans that affect your kidneys, not to mention those tights and thongs that welcome yeast infections and Urinary tract infections. I'm not saying wear baggy clothes just try to wear healthier clothes... and dress up when the occasion really calls for it. 

6. Gaming is a great experience

No! I mean it. It's GREAT! 

7. A couple of genuine romantic moments are much better than a whole relationship of fake feelings

I find it cute how guys don't go crazy to suffocate you with compliments. And the thing I like even more is that when they say it, they mean it. See, some of your "girlfriends" might compliment you 24/7 even when you don't deserve it and then go behind your back and gossip about it. Same goes for the romantic part, we tend to say "I love you" faster than we can even understand the concept.

8. Just a beer with the boys is NOT just a beer with the boys

It may start out like just an innocent beer but after the first three it'll turn out into the wildest party ever. So whenever your guy tells you he's going "with the boys" for just "one beer", don't wait for him to be home for dinner.

9. Keeping calm

Even thou on the inside the sizzle, their palms are sweaty and most certainly there is a thought frenzy inside their mind ...on the outside the just keep the calm appearance. Or maybe... they really are that calm. Who knows?  

10.  It you want something, say it! 

Seriously, it's that easy. Most of the times we get angry because others don't know what we think, well how can anybody know what we think if we have a habit of keeping secret the things we want. If there's something you want or expect from someone just be open about it and say it.
E.g He: "Babe what's wrong?"
You: "Nothing."  "It really bothered me that you didn't pick up your phone when you were out with the boys." 
Ta daaaaa, that easy. Just say exactly what you mean.

Wishing you the best,
