The Cluelessness of the Male Gender

Why are guys so clueless? I’ve thought about this question a lot, and, at the risk of insulting the entire male gender, I’ve come to the conclusion that, when it comes to things that are not electrical, mechanical, computer-based, or any other traditional guy-type thing, guys just aren’t very bright. So, for all of you not-so-bright guys (which, basically, means, for all of you guys), I’ve composed this list of things that might help you in your pursuits and involvement with women.
1. Think very carefully before you speak. It has been my experience that the majority of the things that get guys into trouble are caused by the mere fact that whatever it is you said just didn’t come out like you meant it to sound. Thus, before you say something, run it through your mind a few times to see how it is going to sound when you say it.
2. Flowers are good, no matter what. Whether you are trying to get a girl to like you, or you already have the girl wrapped around your finger, flowers are good pretty much all the time, for no reason at all. Did you make her sad? Flowers will work. Do you just want some extra bonus points? Flowers are definitely the way to go. They key point here is not the price of the flowers; they don’t have to be expensive ones. The point here is that you thought about her enough to buy them.
3. Listen. Okay, this doesn’t just mean that you can merely repeat whatever she just said. Listen, carefully. Actually think about what she is saying to you, because she probably has a reason for saying it. Also, if you don’t act like you are listening, you are implying that you don’t really care what she is saying and that it is not important to you; when that happens, you will make her said, and for that I refer you to #2.
4. Compliment her. Even if you told her a week ago that she was the best looking thing on the planet, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t say other nice things to her now. You can compliment her on pretty much anything, as long as you are being sincere about it. Plus, not only will she be happy, she will think you are the sweetest guy ever.
5. Every once in awhile, surprise her. This doesn’t have to be done all the time, but it wouldn’t hurt to do something extra-nice for sometimes. Write her a sweet letter. Take her on a picnic. Send her a cute card. It can be nearly anything as long as you put some thought into it.
Okay guys, that’s all I’ve got for now. But trust me, if you follow these tips, you’ll be doing great.

I already do all of this junk, so this can’t be about me. It must be written for every other guy.

Nice work. Only one thing missing: 6. Speak to her in another language, such as Hungarian! Looks like I’ll be ahead of the game when I return to civilization in 10 months. Peace out from Budapest!
