I am a master psychologist. Trust me here. =)
How to make her happy:
1. Listen.
I know girls talk a lot. A lot about things that aren’t really important at all. This is because they think differently than guys. Guys like the end result, cuz want something to lead somewhere.
Girls are different. They are all about the process. Screw the result. Girls can call each other to see how they’re doing, because they like communication for the sake of communication. If a guy called another guy “just to talk”, he gets labeled a “homo”.
No, seriously.
Girl: “I’m going to go to the dry cleaning today. Do you want me to wash that blazer you like? The one that looks like Dr. House’s blazer? Hugh Laurie is really cool. I like British guys. Not to say I don’t like you. I wonder how good of a doctor he would be in real life. Oh, right! Nurses! We need to get Betty something for her anniversary coming up. Let’s go shopping! I need your help!”
Guy: “Yo, get up.”
See, the girl is really hard to follow, right? The thing is, our train of thought isn’t all that different. One thing links to another. The difference is that they think aloud and we just vocalize the end result.
Anyway, listen to her (not in a submissive way, but just to acknowledge what she’s saying).
(This “Female way” of talking used to really irritate me until I found out they were just thinking aloud.)
2. Go out. A lot.
When a guy treats a girl well, she fucks him. Or blows him.
However, when the girl is being really good, you don’t just go up to her as she’s working and start fucking her. Or even going down on her.
Go somewhere. Not just a restaurant so you can stare at food and stare at the decorations and go home. Do something fun. Go to Disneyland or something.
She likes it as much as you like fucking.
*Side note: Expensive doesn’t mean good. A hot dog from a street vendor at a park is a million times better than a 3 course meal if you’re a fun guy. Expensive experiences are like sticking talented actors in a movie. If the movie (your personality) is great, it will be freaking amazing. If the movie sucks (you’re lame), no amount of Christian Bale is gonna save your shitfest (yeah, he’s a good actor. Fuck you too.)
3. Talk about everything.
If you notice something, mention it to her. If she looks at you like you’re a weirdo and calls you out of being awkward, then….why are you with/courting her?
I found a really cool thing: dumb stuff. Mention a lot of dumb stuff. It won’t matter if it’s dumb, as long as you deliver the line well (remember: stand up comedians are funny for the way they say things and the character they create. The lines themselves aren’t all that funny. Craziest mindfuck ever when you start to learn how professional entertainers perceive the world).
And if you’re gonna stick to a few topics, use the safety topics every girl likes. The Community calls this “Chick Crack”. If you have any questions or discussions about relationships (especially romantic), the supernatural, psychology tests, or anything of that sort, fire away. They always love it.
4. Don’t get too “into” her.
This creates neediness. Don’t be afraid to go a day without calling her if you’re busy.
And if you see a hot girl wearing basically nothing on the street, feel free to sneak a peak through your peripheral vision (you’re allowed to completely tilt your head if she’s not there). You’re not her slave. You can check her out. Just don’t point to her ass and go “Honey, look at that smoking ass! Can you work out more so your ass can look like that? God she’s so hot! I wanna fuck her! Let’s go ask her to partake in a threesome with us!”
Besides, with just the right amount of subtlety, you can make her jealous. (WARNING: This is of questionable morality to some. I have a Greene-esque perspective on game theory, so make your own choice).
5. Understand why chicks like chick stuff.
You don’t have to watch Twilight. Just understand why THEY would like it.
I’m gonna end this here before I start describing Twilight, leading to my opinions on it, leading to me looking like a misogynist.
And if you’re a dude who likes Twilight or Bruno Mars, go eat a dick.
How to make him happy:
1. Never challenge them in public.
Maybe he said something that wasn’t exactly 100% accurate. Don’t just stand up at the dinner table and go “YOU FUCKING IDIOT! A MILE IS LONGER THAN A KILOMETER! WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?”
Just as women like connecting for the sake of connecting, men live in a stratified society full of ranks. To “call him out” will belittle him and make him shrink in front of his peers. I’m not going into the evolutionary psychology of it all, because it should be fairly obvious.
2. Fuck. A lot. Passionately. Everywhere.
3. Don’t probe too deeply if you meet resistance.
Women share everything amongst each others. Men don’t. They are taught from a young age to shut the fuck up if you can’t contribute to anything.
I remember a period of time where Trisha would ask me every day about my innermost fears and my greatest vulnerabilities. At the time, I wasn’t comfortable talking about that shit, because men cannot show weakness to anyone, right? Well eventually I told her, but it made me feel highly uncomfortable when she probed a lot. If he doesn’t wanna talk, he doesn’t wanna talk. Especially about things that make him weak.
4. Don’t make him work like a detective.
If you say “nothing’s wrong”, there better be nothing wrong. I don’t wanna have to read your microexpressions and see your lips purse to one side for a fourth of a second followed by a smile to see that you’re upset and hiding it. I have to do enough people reading at work and I don’t want to have to bring Ekman’s findings home with me.
5. Propose places to go and general plans.
Guys don’t like going out as much as girls. If you wanna go somewhere, let us know. Better yet, tell us which place you would like to go to (since there’s a chance that the guy will guess wrong and take you to a bar when you wanted to just go grab froyo and look at stars).
Don’t be too specific, though. If you have every detail planned out, you’ll look controlling and he’ll be scared away. I know it’s female instinct to fill in all gaps and voids, but guys like emptiness.
Good: “Let’s go to an amusement park!”
Bad: “Let’s go out…. somewhere.”
Bad: “Let’s go to Disneyland and ride the Matterhorn at 10:53 to get the best angle with the sun. Make sure we’ are there at exactly 10:00, because I’ll be pissed if we miss it due to the line. Then we have to ride Space Mountain at 11:34. Don’t ask why. I’m telling you anyway! Cuz last summer…”
6. Get to the point.
You see the observation of female communication versus male communication in part 3 of the previous section? Do that. Go from A to B. All that A2, A3, stuff that goes on in your head? We don’t need to hear that.
