From His Point Of View: Boyfriend Defense 101

Flowers For You
They may have their flubs, but this guy reveals that boyfriends aren’t as awful as you think.

The pundits are right: Men and women are from two different planets. Somehow, we never seem to fully understand what we want; or if we do, our intentions are taken the wrong way. As unbelievable as it may sound, we guys are giving our best to be the boyfriends you want us to be.

Fine, we never remember the important dates: History was never one of our best subjects, so we hope you understand when we forget our ‘month-saries,’ or where or how we first met. But we have our own special moments with you that are worth remembering in our own ways, like having an awesome bucket of fried chicken together or laughing in unison during a really funny movie. We may not remember what you were wearing on our first date, but we do remember you looked great.

We’re really more sensitive that we look: Maybe we suffer from the lack of pathos. But don’t think that we aren’t trying our best to be more perceptive. We can tell whenever you’re upset, annoyed, or ‘just don’t feel like it,’ but we’re not great with talking things out so we let you ride it out instead. Given this, you got to give us credit for the times when we sit with you to sulk off a problem, and when we coddle you until you feel better, ‘cause that takes a lot out of a guy.

Double takes? Meaningless: No matter how much you try to bring us back into conversation whenever a bevy of beauties walk past us, swooning and head turning will always be some of our so-called ‘ habits.’ We’re programmed to check out other women—ask National Geographic—but that doesn’t mean we don’t find you attractive—the truth is, we only have eyes for you.

Even if we don’t say it, we think you’re gorgeous: Admiring you every minute of the day wouldn’t be very sincere of us, and similar to the words ‘I love you,’ saying ‘you’re beautiful,’ has more meaning when it’s blurted out unexpectedly. Yup, it’s when you least expect it: We’ll steal a glance, smile when you complain about how ugly you look today, tuck a lock of hair behind your ear—this is our own little way of expressing a lot of admiration.

We may be cheesy, but we’re honest: We’re real men—not the romance novel kind with perfect words to woo a woman. When we’re composing statements of love, it’s on-the-spot. If it comes out baduy, we’re sorry. A slick-sentenced guy doesn’t mean half of what he says anyway. If we say you’re our ‘one and only,’ we’re telling the truth.
