There are several things that men get wrong about women. Women aren't as mysterious as men think. You can figure us out and when you do maybe make the road to finding love a little less bumpy. I'm going to break this down into 2 parts...dating and sex. I'll discuss dating first.
1. If you like us..call soon. Men think they should wait, but if we are into you and you're into us..then waiting just makes us worry if we misread your signals. By the time you call, we've over analyzed the relationship to the point that we may have talked ourselves out of liking you. So, call her.
2. We don't want to hear about your ex. We don't want to hear about your problems or about how hot she was...or how great the sex was. I've actually had dates that told me what a "freak" their ex was in bed. Ummm, that's great, then maybe you should still be with HER. It's a bad idea to start off a relationship making your new love be in a competition/comparison with your old love.
3. Don't jump right in with sex talk. We immediately think you JUST want to get us in bed, and you're a player. Plus, it's kind of pervy. Yeah, we like sex talk, but not from a virtual stranger.
4. Compliments should be sincere. Complimenting a woman's attributes is more effective than a general compliment. Example--"You have a great laugh!" will thrill her a lot more than "That is a nice shirt." Women have a bullshit radar when it comes to compliments, we can spot a fake one a mile away...so be sincere, or keep your mouth shut.
5. If you don't like us...don't be rude. We've all had dates where we didn't feel a "connection". That doesn't give you the right to be a rude jackass. Looking/flirting with other women while on our date, ditching us, or being rude in hopes we'll leave is all BAD FORM. Be a gentleman. A few hours of civility won't kill you. We may not be a love match, but if you are kind and polite, then it may lead to a friendship...or us setting you up with one of our friends! Remember if you are a jerk...word of mouth gets around.
6. Don't shove your tongue in our mouth on our first kiss. Frenching can be saved for when we know each other better. First kisses should be soft, lingering and just on the lips. If you try to shove your tongue down my throat, I'll think you're just looking for a fuck at the end of the date. If you want a second date, better to go in soft and slow and leave her wanting more.
7. Do Not have sex with us if you aren't into us. Guys will sometimes go out with a woman that they aren't really "that into", yet they'll still have sex with her. Then he doesn't call and she's wracked with regret and feels like there is something wrong with her..maybe the sex was bad, or she said something to upset you. You'll walk away with a smug smile, she'll wonder for weeks what happened. If you aren't into her, then move on.
8. We carry grudges. Women remember everything. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. So, if you miss her birthday or a special event...she may forgive, but she sure won't forget. This leads me to my next one...
9. Do Not make promises you can't keep. Don't stand her up, don't break dates, don't make plans and never follow through. Every woman understand something coming up occasionally, but if you make a habit of it, she'll lose faith and trust in you. No woman wants a man that can't or won't keep his word. It shows a lack of character and respect.
10. RESPECT...be polite, and be courteous. It's a date...she's not "one of the guys". So open her car door...or ANY door for her. Let her order first. Let her be seated first. Show her that you are a MAN not a boy and you understand that a woman should be treated in a respectful manner. Even if the date doesn't end up as a love connection, she will remember how you treated her..forever.
Now, things that men get wrong, or may not know about women and sex.
1. Hurtful "compliments"...if you say it in a joking manner, but it's an insult...that doesn't make it funny. Example "Hey sweetie, why don't you get your big ass up and get me another beer." or "That girl looks like you, back when you were hot." Making your partner insecure on purpose will just lead to less love, less sex and less respect.
2. Women hate giving blow jobs. Ummm..no we don't. What we don't like is a guy that constantly tries to shove his cock down our throat until we gag, or can't breathe (you know when you're in our throat you're blocking our air!). Most women enjoy giving blowjobs, because we like pleasuring our partner. What we don't like is when our mouth is used like a pussy and you leave us hoarse and barely able to swallow for days!
3. You lay back and let us do all the "work". Okay, sex is a participation sport. If you want us to hop on and ride you every time we have sex, and all you do is lay there....then you're going to find our interest in sex starts to wane. Everyone has to do their share. That means, changing up positions...being interactive and no one just lays there!!
4. Women can cum just from being fucked. Thanks to porn, there is a whole generation of men that think that women can cum without any clitoral stimulation at all....that just the act of fucking will make her have a mind blowing orgasm. Let me be the first to tell you...this is so rare, you'd have a better chance of catching a Yeti than giving a woman an orgasm without stimulating her clit. When it comes to women and sex...the clit is where it's at. If you want to be a great lover, then learn how to touch her clit! When you are fucking, encourage her to rub her clit...or you do it for her! I will say that the best orgasms I have are when I'm being fucked and rubbing my clit at the same time. Either by itself feels good, but combine then and WOWWWW!
5. We love kissing but what's with all the tongue?! Seriously, guys your tongue is really big and when you shove it in our mouths...well it's NOT sexy. Tease us with the tip of it when you kiss us. JUST the tip, if she wants more you'll know..she'll suck on it. If not, then remember when kissing...less tongue is more! PS. Also, don't try to engulf her whole face when you kiss...the worst kisser I ever had (yes, I still remember him!) literally sucked off my makeup from my nose to my chin! I felt like he was trying to eat me face first!! Please, don't be THAT guy!!
6. Anal is painful. Seriously, it hurts. So, if you are going to butt fuck us...make sure we are in agreement (don't try to "sneak" it in our ass, because we will notice!) and make sure to use LUBE and go SLOW. Don't get caught up in the excitement and hurt your woman because then your chance of ever getting to butt fuck her again are comparable to hitting the lottery. Go slow, use lube, get her ready by using your fingers first and then let her control the rate of penetration. Listen to what she says..she'll tell you slower/faster/wait/pull out...whatever she says goes.
7. Don't pressure her to fuck you before she's ready. Will it really kill you if you have to wait until the 3rd or even 5th date to get her into bed? No, it won't. So, enjoy dating and the build up and anticipation of passion for a while and stop trying to get her into bed asap. It will be better sex if you are more familiar with each other and have established a relationship. So, stop being in such a rush for instant gratification...you're grown, you can wait a while...it will be worth it!
8. Women dont' want sex as much as men....ummm I'm calling BULLSHIT on that one! Women love sex, it feels good and we are as horny as men. However, there are things that affect our libido. If we work all day, come home and make dinner, do laundry, and bath the kids while you watch TV..then we probably aren't going to feel up to being your sex toy in the bedroom. Stress, resentment, anger...these are reasons women will reject sex. So, think about how you can give her some time to destress and wind down before bedtime and you might just see how horny she can be!
9. Women are great communicators...except for some reason, in the bedroom. We will go for years dealing with bad sex instead of just speaking up and saying what we want and need. There has to be communication, but we dont' want to feel we are "hurting your feelings" or we may be too embarrassed to say that our clit needs more attention. Communication is KEY yet I think we could all use a little more communication in the bedroom. So, get your woman to talk about your sex life and you may find out things you never knew!!
10. RESPECT again...show your woman respect, in bed and out. If she's not into something, then respect her boundaries. If she says NO, then it's NO. If she needs more time to cum, then give it to her. Be the man she wants in bed and out...and she'll be the woman you want in bed and out too.
Next, I'll be working on a blog about what women get wrong...so it will be fair ;) If you have anything to add, leave a comment! xoxo
