A little relationship help for the girls. Making us blokes happy doesn't always require a willingness for anal sex nor sammich making skillz (although neither hurt none ya'hear?).

Just a simple comment can put a man in a gooood mood for days!

Let me illustrate:

At the moment i am spending my time sanding stairs. Those who have ever tried to remove 100 year old paint and layers of Victorian wax will know how bad a job that can be. Why some person , no doubt born out of wedlock, decided to paint over layers of wax is btw beyond me.

The job generates a lot of dust. After an hour I look and sound like Marley's Ghost (for the Americans among us that is Jacob Marley not Bob!). It is a hot hard work. I stopped at one point this morning to have a fag and Mrs. Ketch not only made me a cup of coffee but said something along the lines of "I really appreciate the effort you are making for us , and I wonder at your ability to work in such shitty conditions" (this translated roughly out of the German, which is why it reads a bit weird!)

That just kinda made my morning, as usually she bitches about the dust and noise of any DIY work.

Ok , she's mistaken when she thinks I'm doing it for her or the Brood Of Satan (the Kids). Actually I'm doing it cos I am an anal retentive retard who was raised in things DIY by a master craftsman more anal then himself. But what the hell, she showed some appreciation and that makes me go all warm and fuzzy inside.

Second example: Most of you know that the girl I used to live with was infact a former girlfriend from 15 years previous, who I met again by pure chance online. One day we were texting, she and I got talking about how we met for the first time blah blah.

She said about how she had first seen me naked/first desired me. At the time I was sleeping with her flat mate. She walked in on us in the bathroom having sex. She recounted this again in the text and then said 'You had the biggest erection i had ever seen!'

Now I really am not super endowed so fuck knows what sort of men she had seen before that but that simple comment made my heart, ego and cock swell with pride and put me in a good mood for days after.

So girls , remember us blokes are a bit like pet dogs...a kind word, a stroke (either his cock or his ego..don't much matter which)...works wonders!

Fag break! And i have to take the delta back to Jewson's now and get some more paint stripper etc.

I wholeheartedly agree.

I'm not a particularly handsome guy, definitely no marble statue (unless they made marble statues of Stalin shirtless), so I never really worried much about looks. I assume that any girl who sleeps with me likes me enough as a person to overlook that.

But my beloved shocked me today by telling me she actually liked my body, and citing intimate examples...which was the first time any has ever said that. It caught me completely by suprise as I've never even assumed my body was attractive, yeah, it made me feel like a million bucks blush like a schoolgirl.

That would be fuckin' awesome!

Put him in overtly masculine flexy-poses too, t'would be the stinkiest of the shit.

As for the topic, yes, it is really simple to make us happy: just let us know we're appreciated. Wouldn't hurt if you let others know we're appreciated too.

Whilst in a relationship people tend, after some lengthy duration of said relationship, bitch to their friends about their significant other. This isn't to say that their lover is necessarily bad, or undesirable. It just means that they aren't perfect, and female friends like to complain/joke/debate/etc. the various limitations of love. That being said, it helps our ego when our girlfriend/fiance/wife/whatever finds us sexy enough to break aforementioned trend.

Carton of beer, and a root wouldent go a stray.

I saw the title and entered this thread, did a search for the word 'sandwhich' and left dissapointed.

You misspelled sammich



Oh and why did he paint over wax? It's simple. He's not the sucker that is sanding it right now

My grandparents owned a friggen some 300 year old colonial manor in New Jersey (new amsterdam then i guess)...If my gramps tried to fix or slightly modernize a damn thing...she'd get all firey on him.

I guess thats a different situation it being all historic, how old is your house?

And some of us don't want that puppy cunting, broads throw down and find false doting, appreciation and ego stroking totally shit, and utterly annoying.

I mean, unless you mean it, don't zay it...

But that depends on the bloke.

.

About 120 years, so by Brit standards fairly modern (it has indoor toilets!!!)

But everyone who has ever lived there has slapped a coat of paint over the last one. Paint striping here is to journey back in time. After the couple of crappy coats of modern water based shite (thanks Mom) you get down to the blue lead based one which appparently was bought after the war from the RAF as a job lot and was orginally used to paint the underside of spitfires during the war ( I'm not joking)! After that you enter the surreal realms of Edwardian and then Victorian 'taste'.

Because we speak German at home. The Trouble 'n Strife is German, I lived most of my adult life out there, the Kids were born there and are sorta bilingual..or Trilingual if you count goobledegook!

Someone hasn't had a gal compliment his penis size.

After a lot of years together a man often forgets those things that touch a woman's heart, even if they are not intended to do so.

Don't forget that jack.

I dont know about the whole sammich thing, thats pretty goddamn important...

When you hold hands, remember to actually HOLD IT, don't just touch it. A tightly held hand means "I love you." more than most words can ever say. This goes for ALL genders.

I refuse to sound corny.

Like someone else said.. sounds like you've never gotten your ego stroked in the best of ways.

Hell, just HEARING a woman tell you how large you are(even if you know you're just average) is well.. ego stroking.

I know this was a joke, but I just felt like pointing out to anyone that ever considers a DIY job later.. Take the time to do the job RIGHT, and not the easy road.

Just as a small example.. The last house my family lived together at, we almost had a roof cave in because the jackass that had lived there before us didn't do the job right, just put more shingles over the old ones. and those things aren't light.

All of this would have been prevented had you used a belt/rotating sander. Seriously, right tools for the job.

All I see is a cry for help.

Although I'm sure you dreamed of sanding stairs when you were younger. I'm sure you can convince yourself you've just grown up but deep down you fucking hate yourself for settling down (read: settling for less). This hate will manifest itself in a cruise in your old age or prostate cancer.

The only thing that is consitently exciting is new pussy. People are designed to get bored of fucking 1 person all the time so they fuck different people who have different genetics. Marriage is just a way of losing half your stuff if you ever take the balls to bail out of the flaming wreck of a relationship you will find yourself in after spending years with someone you don't really have that much in common with and now the sex is losing its appeal theres shit all in it for you.

Good gracious.

At least your making a good job of it, and sanding and shite, you should keep the oldschool paint chips and sell it on ebay, lead or not, they love that shit.

So what color paint are you going to put up?

And Victorian architechture is tasteful, you kraut.

I started reading this thresd but got tl;dr after a few posts cos im completely wasted... but a little appreciation is definitely recognised.

So...you finished sanding them?

You gunna...you know...prime and paint now?

You should do something tacky..like zebra stripes on the stairs...or something to embarass your spawn.

I think exactly like this, but my parents have a really happy marriage so I find it hard to know what to believe. Maybe they're an exception.

I find it worrying that there seems to be as much interest in my stairs as there is in the topic itself....

At the moment i am clearing the joints of paint (chem.stripper, wirewool, wire brush, sharp knife). When that is done then i shall start the medium grit sanding, followed by the fine. I am probably going to varnish...haven't quite decided yet though.

ARRRRGH!!!!!!!!!!!! Idiot eldest son has just tried to walk up those stairs...in bare feet..through all the chem.stripper! God he really doesn't have the brains he was born with!

Zebra stripes bia bia...its the only way.

And it sounds like you need to hide the aresol cans from your boy. =P

Although one time when I was a wee boy in Chicago I stepped in fresh cement and pissed off these burly construction workers...

Anyway...being grateful when you don't mean it is not the way to please men. I mean, if you mean that you really mean it when you say it, then go for it.

But things do get tired out. Even gratitude.

It's because sanding is such a manly thing. But more so when you do it without power tools, like I did last week, cos the fucking house I was working in didn't have electricity. I had to buy batteries for the stereo. And who actually owns a battery powered belt sander? No one.

Shit I hate sanding.

dont talk so much play with his balls and make him a sandwich.

I com(pli)ment my boyfriend alot and do it honestly, I tell him when I think he is doing right and wrong, and I tell him I appreciate him without having to, cause he can see it in my eyes, tone of voice, body language and the way I smile whenever I see/think about him, amongst other things..do you think this is enough?
