Um as a woman, let me just say, there's a serious flaw in the list. It's missing:

26- make a move on a woman without being awkward, corny, or insulting

27- kiss well enough to melt her knees

28- make love for longer than 5 minutes and bring both parties to the "finish line"

29- be supportive

I don't care if you can field strip an AK-47...if you can't do those 4 things, you aren't a man:)


LOL
Learned a few others over the years too.
That ol’ number 29 covers so very much. Just to add a few subclasses.
29a - Be able to go shopping and not complain (see 29).
29b - If she is on a diet, you are on a diet (see 29).
29c - Have a sense of humor; know when and when not to use it (see 29).
29d - Be able to listen and keep your mouth shut (see 29).
29e - A hug is sometimes the answer (see 29).
29f - F is for all future subclasses (see 31).
30 - Learn to dance (as was added)
31 - 29 is open to her interpretations and can change at any moment.
32 - Know the difference between a moist kiss, a passionate kiss and drooling.
33 - Know the difference between curling up, making love, having sex and gettin some. Be able to do them all.
34 - Be able to say, "I love you" first.
35 - Be able to kill any and all spiders in the house.

Once got a card that said, "A husband is like a good book, fun to curl up with, and great for smashing spiders."
and I am sure there are MANY, MANY more.

So you're saying someone who can dance trumps someone who can make sure you get across the finish line every time? Good to know.

Sin lies only in hurting others unnecessarily. All other "sins" are invented nonsense.

Sex should be friendly. Otherwise stick to mechanical toys; it's more sanitary.

You can have peace. Or you can have freedom. Don't ever count on having both at once.

I’m not sure that it’s an either-or situation, as much as that a good dancer can really add points to the rest of the night. It’s all about making the girl feel as beautiful as she is, and there’s no better way to do that in my experience then to get lost in each other’s arms to elegant patterns on the dance floor.

That’s just my experience, and I’m just one guy. Yours may vary. But if you’re a guy, you can’t lose by learning to dance.

Oh, you're preachin' to the choir with that one, I've got 27-30 solidly covered.

Yeah, that list is really missing quite a few important things.


# 30 is good, more than good, but it SO does not trump 26-29.

No I'm saying anyone who can do #30 must be good at the other stuff...dancers have great moves in all senses of that phrase.

HUGS MisterG

Oh and I love the addendum to 29...excellent decoding skills you have there.
