Just a side note:
Generalizations on women work much the same as generalizations about men or children with learning disabilities: Though not ideal, they do lay a groundwork that can eventually lead to individualized treatment. Without categories and generalization, however, finding the proper way to approach any one girl is like looking for a needle in a haystack...without a metal detector.
Just keep that in mind when you demonize generalizations. Though they can go horribly wrong and end in objectification, if used or taught improperly, they're actually a necessary step towards understanding any group that differs from your own sets of experiences.-
for all those still wondering... the chocolate has been delivered... just not to you. Mrs. Camera Guy will soon have the box in her hot little hands! (eat quickly or handle with care.)
I agree. ASK HER WHAT SHE WANTS AND THEN GIVE IT TO HER! As a man I figured this out a while ago. Another hint to guys out there as the holidays are sneeking up on us, Women love it when you get them something they mentioned wanting a while back, but have rarely mentioned it again. They love it because it showed you LISTENED to them. I try and keep a list of things my wife has mentioned she wants so I can surprise her at any moment. Just a helpful hint.
Send them an email, they'll help you out. It took this incompetent ages to figure out the ins and outs of "click here to register". [I do not brain my brain]
This really wasn't what i needed to know. I'm a girl and I don't fly that way, I'm straight... Anyway all that was true we do like to be listened to, treated as an idividual, and if you do want to know what we want all you have to do is ask =].
My husband manages that "I'm listening" look without his eyes glazing over. I figured that made him a keeper.
I think you nailed it. Ask us. And then don't wait seven years later to ask again. Just sayin'.
=) I do want to be treated like an individual. Not you women are always so emotional. That drives me up a wall. That respect thing you did was halirious.
After much discussion and reflection upon past experiences, the men of "Red Green" concluded that Women really wany is:
1) a New VCR
2) World Peace
3) no socket wrenches
