I was over on Daniel’s site reading his Things Men Wish Women Knew and it inspired my list of 10 things women wish men knew 
- Talk to us - men don’t communicate. They talk yes, but don’t communicate and they wonder why women get upset with them.
- Cook for us, we love it. But we love you even more if you clean the kitchen up after that.
- When we want to be held, its not about sex.
- Driving fast and being a maniac on the road is not sexy its stupid.
- When we say we have nothing to wear, don’t point to the closet full of clothes and roll your eyes.
- When we are trying on clothes before buying, its ok to tell us we don’t look good in it. Its not ok after we have bought it and are modelling it for you. Thats why we want you to go shopping with us.
- When we hold your hand, its not about sex.
- We love it when you take care of your appearance and dressing. We don’t when you use more skincare than we do and take up more closet space than us.
- Offer to help to clean the house and with household chores. It tells us you care even if you are a bumbling fool at mopping the floor.
- We don’t think you cool that you use the F-word after every alternate word or in every sentence. Its crude, crass and rude.
Granted, its what I wish men knew and does not reflect the views of every woman out there so don’t go flaming me or nothing. Â
Oh and I could not help one extra one.
- Its not always about sex - nuff said

LOL, nice list. Actually, men, or myself at least, are fully aware of these points. And I think I’m practising the list, except for cooking. LOL.
PB says: Its good to know you are. So, cooking would make you the perfect all rounder
LOL, i’m very aware of this list myself….the only difference i got with the great Gallivanter is i do love to cook
PB says: Yay for you!
You said it girl!
PB says: Glad you agree!
I can concur the same.
But, men do have a way to make you think they knew this before marriage. Alas, too late to find out they don’t after you married one.:-)
PB says: Hehe then I’ll have to update if I get married then hehe
I’ve never understood no. 5, LOL.
PB says: No need to understand just don’t do it hehe…
I drive slower nowadays. I cook and wash up.. and clear up. I can hug and I can hold without getting horny. I don’t like using the f word. I keep a neat house. Does most chores. Etc. But I still draw the line at ironing. No, no, no!!
PB says: Good lad! And don’t go round throwing mini-skirts too hehe… Don’t worry I draw the line at ironing too. Maybe I should add “Don’t expect us to do your ironing”
I will love the man to bits if he offers to wash the loo :p
PS: Good list btw. Yes, men, it’s NOT always about sex!!
PB says: ooh yes! I’d marry anyone who’d clean house for me and wash bathrooms!
nice list! i concur!
PB says: Glad you do!
oh no…no sex again!
PB says: Not every time mah…
Hear hear! Can you just see all the men commenting up there, justifying themselves? HEHEHEHE…..
PB says: hehe… at least they are making themselves out to be good little boys…
I so totally agree with #8 & #4. They’re my pet peeves! I could never love a man who is so vain he takes better care of himself than I do! Plus imagine the fight for vanity-top space and closet space… Hehehe… And yeah, driving fast and dangerously is so not sexy!
PB says: Haha… yeah you’d need to live in different rooms just to fit the closet and vanity top. I was in a fast car once. White knuckle ride I absolutely did not enjoy.
I was actually thinking of a similar list when I read his entry. So nice of you to have done it first
PB says: Thanks. Do one anyway. Its nice to have other people’s perspectives
oohh! its all about sex believe me.why else would i like a woman if not for sex?my buddies could help with the other reasons.
PB says: Ah yes, but thats what YOU want right? Which brings my whole post to a point.
Where was this list? Where?
Course now I don’t need it, but then maybe I can use this list to improve current relations.
yes yes, oh YES to all the above! LOL! I think I’ll take this as my checklist for “candidates” to fill up … *grin*
PB says: hehe… am looking for my candidates to fill the above too!
*hi-5’s PB* you couldnt have said it better…sadly, i think it’s true that most men KNOW these but they just dont do it…why arr? *blur*
PB says: Thanks! They do, they just pretend not to know so we get to nag them and remind them
