Now that I'm getting on in years and the gray hair of experience should be passed on to other poor fellas who have yet to learn from their mistakes... so here are some random pieces of advice to consider...
+ Put the right gal's name on the right card and spell it correctly...
+ Do not buy her anything related to cleaning the house...
+ A text message does not replace an actual card or carefully written letter...
+ Do not buy her clothing... if will either be too big or too small...
+ Cheap roadside roses often still have thorns...
+ No Thigh-Masters... just take a bullet and put us out of your misery...
+ You can add your own to the list here: _______________________
If ya'll have a terrific country gal like the sassy redhead I'm married to, she'll probably appreciate something you did or made over something you bought... but don't think they don't like a few things bought for them now and then.
A couple of ideas you might consider: cook her dinner (and do the dishes afterwards if you want a romantic rendezvous later on)... clean the house (a sure-fire move towards some undercover fun)... polish her Henry Golden Boy and clean her 9mm... or you could get her a good book (like Kathy Jackson's The Cornered Cat)...
If all else fails... try some Chick Flicks and Ballistic Tips...
All sage advice!
ReplyDeleteWise Words! lol
ReplyDeleteMy wife begged for a dyson vacuum cleaner. Told her she was nuts, she ain't use the one we have now so I'm not spending over $400 on one. So I got her a ruger Sr22. Loved it so much I was late for work today.
ReplyDeleteVery good advice.
ReplyDeleteI'm lucky. Lu's birthday falls on the 14th so I get two for the price of one and I never forget. She's an awfully good sport.
ReplyDeletethe price of the gift is immaterial. we men tend to see the gifts in terms of price, so that a more expensive gift should be more impressive than a less expensive one, yes? no. the average woman sees only that you bought (or made) her something, the price being pretty irrelevant. that said, if it's something really awful cheap then she'll thing you don't value her. do not go there, grasshopper. women want to know that we think of them and value them and so gifts of lesser price, but more frequntly bestowed, will have greater impact and duration. so, a nice expensive watch or a bunch of flowers? both will have a similar impact and duration. do the math.
