Get Inside Someone's Head (and bed)

Aim to be happy.  When you are happy with you, men are happy with you. If you’re always talking about what it’s gonna take to make you happy, just stop talking about it and do it. If you’re constantly whining about losing five pounds to be happy, then start that workout, or better yet ask your guy to help. J.Michael says men are goal oriented creatures, and they love to fix things. And when it comes to arguing, aim to be happy rather than right.

Men tell the truth if provoked. As Jack Nicholson warned Tom Cruise, “you can’t handle the truth.” So be careful when you ask for it, because he might just give it to you when backed into a corner.

Guys are not your girlfriend. So don’t treat them like one. Although the lines have been blurred in recent years, and men and women are BFFs, pals and buddies, etc. please keep super personal details to yourself for a bit, such as grooming rituals, pills you are popping, your progress in years of therapy, etc.

Drop him a line. Devote some time to learning goofy guy stuff like famous film lines such as Wedding Crasher’s “don’t take a turn to negative town” or Arnold’s “I’ll be back.” All guys throw lines around from movies -- not sure why they think it’s fun, maybe it’s genetic.
