What do men find attractive?

“I Love You” Ideas

Kris’ Take:  I cannot speak for all men because tastes will nearly always differ, but I will speak what I know.  Firstly when it comes to clothing I prefer classy and conservative.  One of the main things that I like about Laura is that she never feels like she needs to show everything off to get attention.  I can’t believe that some parents let their kids out the door looking like they do.  When I go to the mall I have to make sure I didn’t end up in the red light district because I’m not sure if all the 15 and 16 year old girls are trying to shop or work the corner.  So to put it bluntly, respectful men that will be good for you in a relationship don’t want to see your goodys.

If a guy approaches you because of what you’re wearing is that the kind of guy that you trust until death do you part?  If so then you must plan on having a very short life because I give him about ten minutes before he’s looking the next short skirt up and down.

Besides clothing I love a sense of humor but intelligent and moral at the same time.  Laura and I have very corresponding personalities.  We make jokes together but at the same time her and I can have an intelligent conversation and she has all of the same morals that I do.  These are probably the most important characteristics that I can stress in a relationship.  If your personalities don’t fit, then you’ve got an empty relationship.  You need to be able to have a conversation or else all there will be is generic talk and no attention.  Laura fits me like a glove, she has everything I could ever want or need.  She has a wonderful sense of humor, she shares the same morals and beliefs, she’s intelligent, she’s beautiful, she dresses with class and taste, and she’s trustworthy.  That’s what I find attractive.

Cute Song

Kris:  Anytime I hear this song I think of Laura so I figured I’d share this with everyone else so they can share in the joy it brings me.  Maybe this will end up being someone else’s song also.  The normal version doesn’t have a harmonica, but this was the best video.

Date Idea: Creme Brulee

creme_brulee.jpgKris’ Take: Last night Laura and I decided that we would try out one of my Christmas gifts, so we made creme brulee. It was fantastic! This is a picture that I got of a really nice looking creme brulee from the website http://englishcountrywalks.com/blog/?p=37. I think the photographer’s name is David Wenk according to the website but I could be mistaken. I just want to make sure that I give proper credit. So no, our creme brulees didn’t look that nice, but they were close. Maybe if we put some ice cream on them we would’ve been a bit closer, but they were pretty darn good! Whoever made the creme brulee in that picture did an impressive job! This was a lot of fun to do and I would definitely suggest it. The man gets to play with a torch and the princess gets to decorate it all pretty. All in all it was a good experience (except the 1 hour chill time :( I’m impatient.). It’s an interesting idea and would be fun addition to your date night. That’s all I have to say on this subject, enjoy!

Laura’s Take: Mmmm, Creme Brulee. It was fun making those, mainly because we didn’t screw them up! Let’s not forget about the chocolate covered rice krispee bar incident. I’m never doing that again!

Merry Christmas!

Kris:  Sorry about the lack of updates but we all know how this holiday season can get!  I had a very lovely time with Laura.  We did our gift exchange and talked quite a bit about the things we received.  She did the most amazing job of getting me a gift that I wanted… while I was there.  Worse yet, the gift was probably about a grand total of 4 feet away from me the whole ride home  WHOLE 45 minute ride home!  I had no clue either just because she is that crafty!  I was in complete disbelief when I opened it and she started telling me the story.  It’s like one of those movies where you don’t understand how everything happened.  Then, as it starts unraveling it shows you all of the obvious clues that were laid out before you!  Then you’re thinking “UUHhhhh, how did I not know!?”  Anywho, my Christmas was grand, if you’d like let us know how yours went!  If you guys did anything romantic and creative let us know too!  Until next time.

Trying to better express yourself

Kris’ Take: I like to think that I’m a pretty sensitive guy, so it was to my surprise when I found out that I may not express how I feel as well as I thought. Recently there was a medical emergency, and it was a pretty darn important moment in the involved parties’ lives. When it comes to medical emergencies I always thought that it wasn’t a good idea to be openly worried. I thought that you are supposed to be as positive as possible, and apparently I was wrong. I didn’t show that I was really worried, and this came off as I didn’t care. That couldn’t be further from the truth. So now I need to figure out what the best way to respond in a medical emergency is. I thought it was my job to be the strong positive person… I get surprises everyday.

Laura’s Take: I can see where both sides would come from. I think there must be a good even ground, where you are still positive about the situation while also letting them know how much they mean to you. Pillars are definitely good, but it’s nice to see that big burly man turn into a vulnerable pile of mush over the love of his life.

Date Tip: What to Wear

Laura’s Take: First Impressions mean everything and how you present yourself can greatly impact your life in many ways. Whether you don’t get the job because you came in wearing flip flops and a Hawaiian Shirt, or you can’t get a date because the suspenders and bow tie you’re wearing are out of date, make sure that when you’re getting dressed, you’re proud of the image you’re showing. So Girls, if you don’t want people to assume you’re a slut, don’t dress like one! And Guys, if you don’t want girls to think you live in your parents’ basement, watching Star Trek reruns and playing video games all day, then burn every nerdy t-shirt you own!

Kris’ Take: Ouch! I don’t think I’d put it that harshly… okay, yeah I probably would. The truth is gentleman, the days of the t-shirt and jeans are over. To really snag your catch you’ve got to dress to kill. I believe ZZ Top said it best “Every girl’s crazy for a sharp dressed man.” Girls love walking around with their man and thinking “Wow, he’s so much better dressed/looking than all of these other guys.” Rather than “Wow, he looks just like every other guy.” And Ladies, I agree with Laura. If you’re going to put yourself out there like you’re carrying around a tray of h’orderves, you’ll eventually get that attention. And I don’t think most of you girls really want men grabbing on you like you’re an XBox controller. So Ladies, if you want to be respected, keep the puppies in the pouch and the skirt from the sky, and I think that you’ll make it through a date just fine.
