Sometimes we men have to make sacrifices. Or in more PC terms, compromises. I want to watch Manswers on t.v. and zone out for an hour…read several. My wife wants to watch a movie about Venetian Courtesans. Hmmm, what to do, what to do? Weigh the options. Did I get my way before? Did I make her watch “Army of Darkness” for the 16th time? Yes. Maybe I should just watch the movie. Maybe there’ll be something in it I like. Sure enough…it’s an R rated film about prostitutes…and war. Bonus! Don’t miss the point though. It’s t.v. Happiness is not found there. Maybe distraction, but not happiness. True happiness is found in the eyes of the girl you love as she looks over in the middle of her movie, tears in her eyes from the movie she’s been dying to see. We’ll never truly understand why they like movies that don’t have guns and explosions. But they do. It’s a mystery. The compromises we make in these situations,minor though they may be can have great rewards for us in the future. Just remember that when your getting ready to argue over whose turn it is to have the remote.

Small things matter to girls. Here’s an example. I was freaking out about what to get my wife this year for Christmas. I’ve known her for over a decade, we communicate better than a pair of psychic twins (creepy), and we have a lot of similar interests. Yet, I was asking for ideas from anybody I could get my hands on. I ended up getting her several different things, but what she loved the most were some fuzzy socks that I almost didn’t want to get because they’re what I consider a utility item. Something needed, but not desired. But she loved them. Because I remembered she needed them. Get it?

Have you ever noticed that when you’re in the middle of a video game ( read Halo, Call of Duty, or Fable 2) time loses all meaning? You can start playing on Saturday morning and by the time you finish the mission you were on your beard has grown and it’s time to go to work on Monday.
My advice is to look up occasionally. Notice that your girl has packed her things or yours since you haven’t spoken to her or touched her lady parts in a week because you have to get to the next save point. Set aside time for gaming, and time for her. Always spend more time with your girl than you do with Madam 360 or Lady ps3.
Your woman may nag you to shower, but she is the gatekeeper to a land of joy and soft things. Show her that she is worth your time and attention.

Cologne is not an air freshener, an ice breaker, or a replacement for soap. Until you’re sure what scent she likes, tone it down.
