Editor’s note: Mr SY popped the question 10 years ago tonight, in his undies, down on one knee at the side of the bed. Too much information? Well, don’t read on because he reveals some of his other “endearing” traits. Happy Valentine’s Day everyone.
With it being International Love Day today, I thought it appropriate that Manland address the topic of adult relations and how we in the modern Western world demonstrate our feelings.
I thought I would examine some of the more unique ways that men show their love for their women … a checklist if you like of things that say “you’re the one babe!”
Nudie runs
Am I over sharing here? If we are all being honest then no I am not, I know the men in your lives share this signature move too.
Nothing tells a woman how much like they are loved like a naked dash through the house, sometimes with a quick flash of the weaponry. I usually like to do mine from the laundry to the bathroom after mowing the lawn. Then you also have the dirt encrusted face, arms and ankles to really extenuate what a fine specimen you are.
Household nudie runs are also particularly effective with the kids for either creating hilarity or clearing a room of teenagers.
Sporting facts
It is fact that women all over the world find it hard to resist a man who can provide them with an instant update of the key statistics to accompany the sport they are watching on TV. Whether it is how well or how terribly the Australian cricket team, Brisbane Broncos, Brisbane Lions or Queensland Reds are playing, The Stylist never has to wait long to know about it. And I know she appreciates that.
School drop off war stories
I know how much The Stylist loves it when I share my views on the shortcomings of the drop-off and pick-up system at Mr 7’s school. It does not matter that I am only involved in this sadistic ritual a fraction of the time that she is, I know that she knows that I know how bad it is.
Making awesome noises with our bodies
Any nature documentary will tell you that when a male wants to impress a female they make a bit of noise about it. It’s no different with humans. So yes, if I can create a bodily function that The Stylist will be able to hear on the other side of the house I will do my best to make sure she does. Because that is romance at its most primal.
Telling you about our man flu
Science says males suffer the effects of flu more severely than females. I’m sure I read that somewhere last year … anyway, because we suffer so severely you should feel extra loved that we are sharing what we are going through, because we go through it to be able to continue loving you.
Obviously this checklist could go on and on, and I am sure you have some crackers that your men should be celebrated for displaying. We are a special breed and work hard to be excellent life partners, lovers {can’t believe I just used that word} and fathers/guardians to your young.
Happy Valentine’s Day from Manland.
