Q: Why does my wife/girlfriend get so angry with me after watching The Notebook and other chick flicks?
A: The answer is simple and complex at the same time. This may seem like a generalization, and all women are different, but all women to some degree or another want to be treated like a princess. Since they were little girls, they have been fed a fantasy about a knight in shining armor. Even otherwise sensible women watch rom-coms and read slutty romance novels, and once again they are transported back to girlhood where they are whisked away from their so-so life by tall, dark, handsome. Then they look over at you.............Beer belly, playing Halo or World of Warcraft, while simultaneously eating a hoagie and chewing your toenail trimmings. Not sexy.
So, what's an average Joe to do? You could trade in your gf for a stepford-wife robot (they don't talk much from what I hear), throw up your hands and realize that until women stop being hardwired this way you are screwed, or you can be that fantasy guy. Gasp! No, I don't mean that you'll ever measure up to Ryan Gosling, Edward Cullen, or Christian Grey. Sorry. But you can take some cues from them and earn some brownie points with your leading lady.
Example 1: Helping your gal over a mudpuddle on a rainy day. Or kissing in the shower.
Example 2: Making dinner for your gal. If you can't boil water or make toast that's okay. You can order-in, put the food on nice chinaware, and put flowers or candles on the table as a centerpiece. Or alternately you can run her bathwater, put in bubbles, and light some candles. Simple stuff, but women appreciate it. This can be a win-win situation, since these things might put her in the mood for sexytime.
If you guys are not married/living together, are still virgins, or just have traditional values, there are still plenty of sweet/romantic things you can do for her. Just age old gentlemanly things will make her feel appreciated.
Example 3: Opening doors, surprising her with flowers or coffee at work, giving a small gift to her mother or sisters.
Also being emotionally supportive is a great way to win her.
Example 4: Listening to her when she's had a rough day and needs to vent, (it's really not hard, you just need to feign interest). Offering her your shoulder when she's crying (an ages old trick), rubbing her shoulders when she's stressed, bringing her a care package when she's sick (box of tissues, vicks vapo rub, ramen noodles, teddy bear, good book).
And of course women want to feel sexual and attractive.
Example 5: Complementing her outfit, saying her name in bed (just don't get it wrong), being adventurous in the bedroom, touching/running your fingers through her hair when you're making out.
Just a few examples of ways to win her over, and become the fantasy guy she drools over in the movies. Word of warning though, don't be too cheesy or over-the-top! It could be a turn-off, or worse yet she will think you have a girl on the side, and are overcompensating. Just make sure you ease into it, stay somewhat consistent, and don't do anything too out of character. If you do things right though, she will be loving it. And these are just examples. You can come up with your own ideas of course.
