What Good Guys Want From Women...

By popular demand *lol*, the girls wanted me to do a blog about what guys with good intentions REALLY want from girls.

Again, these are NOT listed from most important to least. No one thing is more important then another so just soak in the information and use it to better yourself and the world around you.


1) They Don't Want You Drop Dead Sexy ALL The Time

Girls, one thing a good man can't STAND is having a girl who is high maintenance ALL THE TIME! And sometimes, its enough to make them want to run the opposite direction. A good man will actually be more attracted to a girl who lets her natural beauty show through then one that puts on TONS of make-up and over-accessorizes. And even a small handful rather have a girl who wears no make-up at all. Any guy who TELLS you, you have to be made up all the time or doesn't seem to want you when you aren't looking 100% is up to NO GOOD I tell you.


2) They Want A Girl Who Realizes That Being Together Doesn't Mean You Have To Be Together All The Time

I have many of my guy friends say they have left girls because they just didn't understand that they loved them but didn't want to be around them all the time. Being in a relationship with a guy doesn't give you the right to be around them all the time. Yea, I said it...JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE IN A RELATIONSHIP DOESN'T MEAN YOU GET TO BE AROUND THEM, NOR HAVE THE RIGHT, TO BE AROUND THEM ALL THE TIME.

Guys need their alone time. The time where they don't have to worry you and they can worry about themselves. Time to hang out with their friends, scratch their balls, and play video games ALL DAY LONG without worrying about what you think. Guys are looking for girls who understand this and realize that it isn't anything against you and won't freak out about it.

Trust me girls, having time apart from your guy only makes them love and want you more!


3) Guys Want Girls To Get Dirty With Them

No, I'm not talking about in the bed dirty. I'm talking about sitting on the couch all day without bathing or going out on a fishing trip with them and handling blood worms and dead fish. They want a girl who isn't afraid to get down in the dirt with them in the name of bonding. One of my guy friends said they knew they wanted to marry their wife when she went hunting with him, even though she told him once before that she HATED the great outdoors. She went, she didn't complain one bit, and they actually had tons of fun. Now, mind you, he did say she hasn't gone again since that day but he really appreciated what she did out of love for him.


4) They Want Girls Who Have Their Own Money/Girls Who Aren't Out To Use Them As Their Meal Ticket/Girls Who Are Independent

Good guys HATE girls who expect them to buy EVERYTHING! It is a BIG turn off for them. No, they aren't cheap. And no, they don't expect you to pay for everything on your dates. They want a girl who is independent, who isn't going to depend on them in the relationship to go places and do things. A girl is who going to work with them to make the most out of relationship and help move it forward.

They want a girl who will offer to pay for their share of the date when you paid for it the last two times. They want a girl who will pick up the DVDs and the take out for your planned night in together. A girl who doesn't expect them to pay for getting your nails done just because they did it once before. An independent woman is the sexiest woman in the world to a good man.


5) They Want A Girl Who Doesn't Want To Completely Change Them

Ok, girls, I know them smacking while they eat or leaving the toilet seat up can, and probably should, be changed but girls, him not minding being wrinkly every once in a while or not liking art or wanting to know anything about art are things that you shouldn't try to change. Good guys want a girl who will accept them as they are, not take him on because they want to give him an ambush make-over. Trust me, you show him that you love him with all his flaws and he'll WANT to change them along the way because he knows it gets under your skin. GOOD guys do that for girls who are worth it.


6) They Want A Girl Who Is Willing To Bend Themselves A Little Bit

Good guys want girls they can be with for the long run and having a girl who is willing to change themselves a little bit to be a better fit for them is a must. I'm not telling you guys to lower your standards or accepting way less then you deserve but come on, having standards like "must make 120k a year" or "must have straight teeth, perfect hair, and be able to tan " are just stupid.

If your guy likes spending the weekend at the track, don't be upset when he chooses to go there over coming to your house to spend the weekend, especially when you see him every day during the week. If the guy works on the 3 days that you have off, make plans one month to change your days off so you two can be off at the same time. Showing that you are willing to sacrifice to be their girl will make them want to give you all their heart and they will gladly return the favor 3 fold!


7) They HATE Girls Who Can't Get Over Things

Every good guy is looking for a girl who can forgive them when they make an honest mistake because, yes, even good guys mess up. They don't want a girl who is going to hold every single mistake and mishap over their head like a noose. Ok, he forgot that you guys had planned a date this Saturday. Don't stay mad with him for 2 or 3 weeks after he has said sorry and made it up to you by taking you out somewhere SUPER nice the very next night, completely on him. Holding a grudge over petty things will only keep you from finding a good guy or losing one.

Simple "Impress Your Lover" Recipe #1: Pasta With Savory Meat Sauce

This is the first of MANY recipes I'll be posting that anybody with an IQ of -35 can do when they want to bring their hunnie over for dinner. These recipes are delicious and super simple that there is NO WAY you can mess it up.



Pasta With Savory Meat Sauce

Items Needed:
1 - Medium sized onion (NO RED)
1 - Medium sized GREEN pepper
1 - Pack of hamburger around 2 pounds (you can pick any kind, I prefer "chuck" because of the fat content)

1 - Large OR 2 - Regular sized jars of pasta sauce (AVOID "plain" or "traditional" flavors, I would suggest going for something with a mild, but not overwhelming flavor like "Mushroom", "Garden Variety", or "Four Cheese", best brands are Prego, Ragu, or Great Value/Wal-Mart brand)

1 - 16 ounce box of pasta (Angel Hair is what I prefer but you can use whatever pasta you deem fit)

1 - Cooking pan to brown your hamburger in
1 - Pot to boil your pasta in
1 - Pot to shimmer your sauce in
1 - Bowl (to put your onion and pepper in)
1 - Strainer (or something you can seperate your pasta from the water with, you can also slowly drain the water from the pot by using the lid to hold back the pasta while you tilt the pan over)

- Butter OR Olive Oil (OR Whatever you use to grease your cooking pan)
- "Italian" Seasoning
- Seasoned Meat Tenderizer
- "Garlic & Pepper" Seasoning
- Salt (For seasoning your water ONLY)
- Parmesan Cheese (to sparkle on top when you are ready to eat it)

Directions:

1) Cut your onion and pepper up so that there are no pieces bigger than a half an inch/your pinkie finger's nail. Place in bowl.

2) In your cooking pan, put the pan on high heat and melt your butter. Once the pan is hot enough (which you can check by wetting hand lightly and shaking the water off into the pan, if it sizzles when the water hits, it's hot enough), add your pepper and onion. Turn the stove down to medium heat and let them cook until the onions are a medium brown color. Remove from the pan and place to the side for later. NOTE: You have to watch the pan closely! The pepper and onions can burn easily if left unmoved for 6-8 minutes.

3) With the stove still on medium heat, add your hamburger to the pan (the pan should still be well greased from the peppers and onions PLUS hamburger makes its own juices). Season your meat with the Meat Tenderizer, Garlic & Pepper, and Italian seasoning. (DO NOT use salt to season your hamburger. Trust me on this one! There will be enough salt in the sauce and in the seasonings you used to give it a good taste.) Cook the meat until it is brown and thoroughly broken up.

4) Place the browned meat, peppers, onions, and pasta sauce into a pot and set the stove for medium-low heat. Add a little extra Italian seasoning and mix until well stirred. Cover and let cook for roughly 45 minutes, stirring it about every 10 minutes. If you notice that the hamburger is sticking to the bottom of the pot, turn the heat down a little more.

5) Fill your other pot with water and set the stove on high heat. Add a few teaspoons of salt to the water and cover. Bring the water to a boiling point, making sure that it has been boiling for 5 minutes. Add your pasta and cook it for the time directed on the box. Remove from pot using the strainer.

Ending Notes And Tips:

- Freshly cooked pasta has the best flavor so don't cook your pasta until your date has arrived. They will love seeing you in action in the kitchen!

- The dish is best served with a light salad and a hearty bread (garlic bread is always a classic)

- The PERFECT dessert to match with this meal is warm apple pie a la mode/with ice-cream on top, which you can pick up fresh and already made from your local Wal-Mart or grocery store

- The sauce is sooo simple and flavorful that you can cook it up to 24 hours before your date arrives. Just leave it out on the stove when you're done (or if you are going to make it over 8 hours in advance, put it in the fridge), when your date arrives, you can re-warm it up on the stove while you cook the pasta!

- Red wine is the best drink to pair with this meal. Not into booze? No problem, pick up a bottle of sparkling grape juice or apple cider. Make sure to chill it in the fridge 24 hours before your date though. DO NOT freeze it!

Traits That Every "Good" Girl Wants In Their Man...

This was requested from one of my guy friends on MySpace last night and I told them I would do this as soon as I woke up. So here I am! *lol*

This is a list of things that GOOD girls want from the men in their life. When I say "good" I mean girls who have good intentions. I won't deny that there are ALOT of bitches out there just trying to screw what good guys are left out of their time and money. I HATE girls like that! Giving us good girls a bad fucking name!

Anyway, this list is not in order from most important to least so no one thing is more important then the next. I hope this helps my friend, and other guys, out.

1) We Don't Expect Our Guys To Be Rich And Loaded.

We are completely and totally happy with you working at McDonald's or Wal-Mart as long as you take care of your bills and try to push yourself forward in life. A good girl will NEVER judge you by how big your wallet is...now, if you don't have a job, that's a different story but as long as we see you trying to find one and doing things to help out (clean, wash, etc) where ever you live, we will be content with you and try to help you find something better!



2) We Love A Guy Who Is Actually Thoughtful!

You know, you bring us a magazine because you remember us saying we liked it or you make a CD of our favorite music so we can listen to it on the way to work. Being thoughtful is the most romantic thing you can do for us and it makes us feel very loved.



3) Actually Listen To Us!

You know, not all girls are naive enough to think that just because a guy is staring at us means he's listening, especially a good girl. You know, when we are having a discussion, actually put in your 2 cents, we want to hear it, even if it is something as simple as a yes, no, or maybe so! If you overhear me say that I'm thinking about moving my room around, actually respond to it and say, "Well I think it would look good this way" or "I think its fine just the way it is". Listen to us and actually show us that you heard us, I promise any good girl will want to love up on you some more when they see it!



4) DON'T Lie To Us!

I know guys, you feel that sometimes you just have to lie so you won't get in trouble but, new flash, if you have a good girl, they are going to love that you can be honest with them. We don't care how much what you said hurt our feelings, we might cry about it at first or be mad about it for days but we will have a whole another level of love for you because you were man enough to tell the truth. So next time we ask your honest opinion, give it to us.



5) Make Us Feel Wanted In Other Way Then Sex!

Guys now a days generally forget that there is more to making a woman feel wanted then screwing her brains out. If all you take time out with her to do is sex then she's going to wind up feeling like a piece of meat. You know, actually take time out to make out with us without trying to push it to sex. When you see us cleaning the dishes, come up behind up us and place a kiss on the back of our neck. When we are out in public, pull us close and act like you don't want to let us go. Those moments right there can make us feel more wanted and sexier then actually doing the wild thing.



6) Encourage Us Not To Be So "Girlie"!

Guys, I know you hate it when we take hours in the bathroom getting ready to go out just to pick something up to eat and come back so why not encouage us to loosen up a bit. Actually tell us we look cute when we just rolled out of bed or that we look just fine in our sleep pants. You know, when we burp, don't look at us like we commited the sin of all sins. Show us that it is ok to be just as low maintence as you are about things. It works in your favor in the end.



7) Take Part In The Shopping Process!

I can not tell you how ANNOYING it is when your guy doesn't want to come into a shop with you because it's too girlie. The reason why we are going in there is so we can pick up some things to make ourselves hott for you so why not take part of the process. Any good girl will really appericate it and most likely go into those "guys only" stores to return the favor. We join seeing what you like and we like showing you what we like!



8) Don't Be Afraid To Talk About The Future!

Most guys hear about a girl talking about the future with them and cringe. Please don't...we don't want a guy around who isn't thinking about where they want to us with us. A good girl won't try to rush anything along but we like being able to talk with our guy seriously as to where they see the relationship going and where they want it to lead. It's a nice feeling to know that our guy is committed to us for the long haul.


9) Don't Act Different Towards Us When You Are Around Your Friends!

Us good girls HATE it when you don't really want to bother with us when you are around your friends. I mean, we understand that you don't want to call us by my nick names or want to be too lovey dovey on us but pulling a complete 180 on us is just plain rude! Have your hand in our back pocket or include us in the conversation you are having. Actually make plans to take us with you as you hang out with the guys. We want to see you in your natural environment and we want to become part of it but acting like a complete jerk for the sake of "looking hard for your homies" just isn't going to fly.

And that's it. These points listed above are the basics of what any good girl wants from her man. Showing these traits will leave us swooning and wanting you more then anything else in the world! Some of these things even have a more secret meaning behind them but that translation is for another blog at another time.
