Romance 101 for Brink

Flagg · Post by **Flagg** » Mon Mar 05, 2001 8:48 am

Well we started with this topic in Minerva's 1000th post anniversary topic, and I thought that it deserved a topic of its own.

We have a, ahum, solemn responsibility in educating our relatively younger forum members in the way that the world works. One area that Brink desperately needs teaching in is Romance. So post your hints and advise right here.

Girls could you please give your opinion on what the men post here, and come up with some advise from the female perspective.

Brink, repeat after me: "Yes, dear." Pretty much all you need to know.

I take it that you have some experience with this.

Well, my second marriage is going pretty well so far....

@Saigo, LMAO

@Brink, You have to understand that there are of course certain variations that are also useful:

- Yes dear, I am very sorry
- Yes dear, I'll go do that straight away
- Yes dear, you are absolutely right

Brink, NEVER EVER forget her birthday or an anniversary!!!!

In case you do forget:

Yes dear, I am very sorry
Yes dear, it won't happen again

@Ubik, yeah, and I traded UP, too!

@Brink, I just read the exchange on flowers. Sending flowers when you're supposed too only meets their expectations. This is the minimum. Of course, if you do something equally wonderful and much more surprising, you get bonus points and don't feel like a lemming. I send flowers to my wife (also before we were married) just because she's having a bad day; they're unexpected, they make her day better, and I get mega bonus points, Also, the other women in the office are so jealous that Christina has such a wonderful husband that she swells with pride.

Flowers are well worth the effort.

If you're not comfortable with "dear" try "Honey", "honeybunch", "Cupcakes", or perhaps "Sayang", "Cintaku", "Buah Hatiku". "Belahan Jiwaku"

Brink, some things that should keep you alive and sound in the hunt for some p*ssy:

- First thing first: Confidence. Overconfidence would help even more. You have to show her that you feel superior. Then she will have the pleasure to bring you down to your actuall size

- Vital thing: Allways say YES. YES DEAR - as mentioned above - is the best form to express it.

- A few things to do: Go out shopping with her (you propably hate it, but...) watch every romantic bull film she choses for you (or she 'll call you "insesitive") buy her flowers and various gifts.

- A few things not to do: Forget your anniversary (year, month or even weekday - depends on whether it is a relationship or a short term affair) comment about another woman's arse, or bussoms or whatever (she'll tear you apart) tell her "honey ,I got to go and play/work/do whatever on my computer (that is usually a fatal mistake) disagree with her (that is THE fatal mistake) ask her "did you liked that as much as I did" or ( variation here ) "honey, did you c*m?"

Brink, a small reminder why we are telling you this. Seeing that you are still innocent and naief, the following is a ground rule when dealing with women:

They have something that you want, and they know it.

You have to understand that women can be vicious. They will make you suffer. They will make you beg.

Try to prevent circumstances where this happens by using the Yes, dear rule.

I think before we get thru lots of lessons we should let comrade Brink understand what men see on women, in other word what makes men try to chase after a girl that he think he want to go steady with.

Women have the entire world supply of what you want! There's no other source.

"Half of the money and all of the ___." Men just have to learn humility...right, dear?

@ Saigo : Please define supply so our comrade can be more enlighted

One additional comment on the Yes, dear rule.

Don't be a smart *ss, and go to experiment with new combinations. Don't try stuff such as sure dear. These types of combinations lack the respect that is inherent with Yes, dear. If a women thinks that you are not serious, then you are in a whole lot of sh!t.

I've sworn to castrate each man that calls me 'dear' to my face god I hate that word... What does that say about me?

KidD01 · Post by **KidD01** » Mon Mar 05, 2001 9:42 am

As Minerva said most women prefer surprises, especially on her special day i.e Birthday. But not a surprise divorce letter or a surprise break up ! They'll tore you apart !
And of course they love flowers, and also chocolate ! (I think Toblerone hits the top rank for this matter)

What would your advise then be to Brink??
