9 Signs You Should Make Him Engagement Chicken

There are a few unconventional signs that he's a keeper.

engagement chicken

Our buddies at Asylum made a great list of 9 signs that indicate a dude needs to wife his girl up. It's a great list though Tomfoolery frowns upon certain bathroom humor. After reading it, I started wondering about the nine signs that a gal should go ahead and bake up that engagement chicken and reel this hunka hunka love into the marital boat.

1) He complains. Per one of the YourTango users, if a guy complains about chores, but does them anyway, that shows you how much he loves you. It barely counts if he likes doing it. There's a certain beauty in that logic.

2) You guys fight, periodically. A) Couples who argue truthfully and respectfully rarely have crazy blowups or weird, seething, stabby resentment. B) Makeup and angry sex are a couple of life's treats. Read: Love & Anger: How to Fight Right

3) He's not really into the computer. It's borderline impossible to become addicted to interweb porn if he rarely uses the computer. Samesies Ashley Madison. Though he should be able to use Google.

4) He'll cry but isn't a crier. There are a handful of times that a man is allowed to cry: birth/death of a child, foot caught in bear trap, traumatic world events, "Star Spangled Banner"+wounded veterans+Fourth Of July and the song "Cat's In The Cradle."

5) He owns a tuxedo. Owning a tuxedo proves a couple of things about a guy: A) He doesn't mind going to a black tie event, B) He makes sound financial decisions—a tux pays for itself around four rentals, and C) He plans on staying about the same size for the foreseeable future.

6) He goes to the dentist 3 times every 2 years. A guy who hits the dentist on the regular has nice teeth and probably OK breath. Also, he probably takes care of himself to some degree. Be careful if he's too obsessed with dental hygiene.

7) He's on good terms with his mom. This one is a slippery slope; you want a guy who has a good relationship with his mom but not too close. This will save you a number of instances of accidentally/on purpose being called "mom." Read: Mama's Boys: Take Or Leave 'Em?

Nooooo. You make him the engagement chicken and he's so overcome with emotion that he immediately asks you to marry him.

Oh. Okay. Well in that case, I totally made engagement pie for his whole family and as they were eating it, his dad was like "MARRY HER!!"

Although, if he had made me chicken, I would have popped the question myself. Saved him some trouble.

I'm not big on tuxedos. My sweetie goes to the dentist after I beg him to make an appointment.

He's not a complainer, but fighting is a definite must. If you aren't fighting yet, you don't know each other well enough to get married. (That sounds terrible, but it's true.)

Good luck finding someone who's not into their computer. Besides, they can probably get who knows what on their cell phone anyway.
