5 Things Men Want Women to Know
The Guy's Guy's Guide to Love

By Robert Manni for GalTime.com

After all of the endless cosmos-fueled discussions with your BFFs about your boyfriends, will you finally crack the guy code about men’s odd behavior?  If it were only that simple, ladies.  That said, your Guy’s Guy promises to shed some more light on my compadres. I can’t solve all your man problems, but I can share a few additional insights about how men are wired and how they operate.  From there it’s up to you.

Here are a few tips about men.

1. Sex, Sex, Sex

Men have sex on their minds. That means every hour of every day. It’s just the way it is. It trumps everything. Case in point. I Just watched The Millionaire Matchmaker. Both guys picked the best-looking women with the biggest boobs. Young guys?  They’re hard-wired for sex, 24/7/365 and are easily aroused.

2. What You See Is What You Get

Although I’ve stated this in previous posts, it’s worth a second mention.  For the most part, men are not passive aggressive. If they say something, they usually mean it. If it’s out of anger, they blast it out and move on. Unlike the dysfunctional behavior on those housewives shows and spinoffs, men express themselves without a lot of subtext.  Guys really are simple creatures, and I state this as a positive. Clarity and reliability are reassuring traits. Men let you know where they stand. If you’re unsure about a man’s opinion, just ask him. Most men will give you their two cents on any subject or situation except when it comes to….
