    1. Getting angry at us for not reading your mind is like getting angry at yourself for not being able to fly. It's not just futile, it's physically impossible.
    2. Yes, we do think Jessica Alba is hot. Sometimes we're even dumb enough to admit it.
    3. Don't ask us to understand your shoe fetish. Asking us to respect it is even sort of pushing it.
    4. You do look good without makeup, just not as good as you look with it.
    5. Ever notice how we don't fight with our male friends? That's why we get so frustrated when we fight with you.
    6. You care what you're wearing infinitely more than we do. In fact, if you're naked when you open the front door, you won't hear an argument from us.
    7. You don't like to get hit on in public, you don't want to date online and you don't want to be set up on blind dates. Tell us if sending messenger pigeons is an appropriate way of courting. Because if it is, we're all over it.
    8.
    “There should a statute of limitations on stupid things that we said that can come back to haunt us”
    There should a statute of limitations on stupid things that we said that can come back to haunt us. I propose 24 hours.
    9. Cooking dinner for a man is like buying flowers for a woman, except it takes a lot more time, effort and thought for you to do it. Thanks. We appreciate it.
    10. We actually like your girly pet-names for us, but please, not in front of the guys!
    11. Just because we like looking at the women in Maxim doesn't mean we want to actually converse with the women in Maxim. Not for long, anyway.
    12. Your nice guy friends are the most reliable source for telling you if your new boyfriend's a jerk. And he probably is. (By the way, you might want to consider marrying that nice guy who's giving you advice about the jerk.)

Being the only girl in a household filled with men, I can honestly say, this is 100% accurate

Are we supposed to take these chauvinistic things you say seriously? Perhaps we should...but if so, in my opinion, life might be better without men.

Wow, the last few comments make me think there are a lot of bitter and/or delusional women out there. I grew up with brothers and I&#39;ve had my share of guy friends who have been brutally honest with me. And, truthfully, whether it seems fair or not, Evan&#39;s list is completely accurate. Yes, even the intelligent, evolved, sensitive guys will admit, when pressed, that Jessica Alba is hot and that they really don&#39;t care what their girlfriend wears. And as for make-up...well, yes, the natural look is just fine and I would of course want my love interest to be attracted to me sans make-up. But, let&#39;s face facts, even the most natural looking girl-next- door looks nice with a little mascara on. I don&#39;t think Evan was implying that women should look clownish and made up like hookers...the #2 commentator above is really reading into things if that&#39;s what she believes he is telling us.

Here&#39;s my own list: 1) I had an argument with my boyfriend about this and it&#39;s not that we expect you to know everything we&#39;re thinking, we just don&#39;t expect you to be dense. 2) I think Jessica Alba is hot too. And Angelina Jolie. And Keira Knightley. Why is this a problem? 3) I don&#39;t see a problem with doing something nice for my man, but if it takes some stranger to write four letters on an article I just happened to come across for me to feel appreciated for doing said things, the man isn&#39;t putting enough effort into the relationship. 4) The shoe fetish thing is so stereotypical. 5) My boyfriend prefers me without make-up. Even when I want to wear it he trys to convince me not to, says he doesn&#39;t want to taste lipstick when he kisses me. 6) I don&#39;t know what kind of fights other people have, but my boyfriend and I don&#39;t have the same issues as he does with his guy friends. He plays video games with his friends, but he&#39;s trying to establish a life with me. 7) This must be just an us thing because my boyfriend cares what I wear way more than I do. In fact we&#39;ve been fighting about it (a fight I bet would never arise amongst his guy friends). He&#39;s trying to convince me to wear more feminine clothing while I&#39;m perfectly content to wear his clothes. Girls clothes are made to look pretty and I&#39;ve never found them very comortable or durable. 8) Maybe we don&#39;t want to be courted! Go to a singles bar and leave us alone! 9) Women bring up past mistakes to keep you from repeating them. We&#39;ll stop when you stop. 10) Most women know this. We do it to mess with you. 11) We know what you actually want to do with them and that&#39;s what we&#39;re afraid of! 12) This one I like Why don&#39;t men try to understand women?
