7 ways to pretend like you care
Caitlin Colford
Men don’t care, deep down we women know that. We also know that you have the ability pretend and it would be nice if you were generous enough to put that ability to use. Lead us to believe you really are a “good guy” and we’ll be happier people and all in all a joy to be around. If you don’t want a whiner then you have to put in the work.
7 Nod
“How was your day?” The perfect opportunity to showcase that you care, we’ll go on and on about our cruel boss and annoying co-workers. You don’t have to pay attention, just nod along. End with a nice “Aw, I’m so sorry” for bonus points.
6 Call to check in
“Hey babe, just calling to check in. I’m not feeling too well so I’ll talk to you later.” Simple as that! It’ll allow us to rest easy and avoid a night of crying ourselves to sleep. Then you can go down the street to party with your friends.
5 Call to invite her but…
We’re Yankees fans too ya know? Call her to tell her you bought the tickets for the two of you to go to the game but then found out your best bud just lost his grandma. We’ll give you the go ahead and appreciate your thoughtfulness, even though we’ll miss out on a night with you and A-Rod.
4 Ask her to babysit
Your brother called yesterday and asked you to babysit your hyper three year-old nephew for the night. The big game is on though! Invite your girl along to help out. How endearing, we’ll think, a chance at last to play house and see what our future will be like together. You’ll get to watch the game while we chase the little menace around.
3 Steal flowers
Run over to your neighbor’s garden before coming to pick us up. Neatly chop off an assortment of her most colorful flowers until you have a presentable sized bouquet. No need to wrap them up, say they are wildflowers, we’ll squeal and have no idea you didn’t buy them.
2 Be a “gentleman”
Be a good boy and make your grandmother proud. Hold the door for us, pull out our chair, come to the passenger side and let us out. Even if you can’t be bothered to listen to a word we say the little gentlemanly gestures really go a long way.
1 Let us be right
Even if you think there is no way in hell you are wrong, you have to be submissive. You just have to!! Repeat after me, “Men are always wrong and women are always right.” Don’t fight us on this one. You’ll never win. Plus you will be rewarded in the end.
