분위기를 바꿔서 오늘 재미있게 읽은 기사 하나를 올린다-
혼자 클클거리고 웃다가 이런건 나중에 읽어봐도
재미있을거 같아서 혼자서 웃기엔 아깝네 핫핫핫
The (all new) Good Wife Guide by John Perry
1. Be Happy to See Him
There was a time when that big blob on your sofa looked just
like Brad Pitt. Ok, maybe not exactly like Brad, but when you
first met, he was sexy and exciting and made your heart flip.
And the good news is that it doesn't make much effort to get
those "first date" flutters back! Just welcome him home after
a hard day's work with a smile and a kiss, listen to his
frustrations - just be INTERESTED in him. I can't promise you
Brad, but you might get a glimpse of the old rogue you fell in
love with.
2. Tell Him He Is Fit
Every man in a relationship knows that when a woman asks,
"Does this dress make me look fat?"
the correct answer is ALWAYS
"No, darling, you look gorgeous."
Women expect to be complimented, but for some reason
no one thinks to tell men they look nice in that new shirt.
Ok, so he may not have the same flowing locks he had
when you met and there may be love handles but
they are YOUR love handles. And for all your little gripes about
him, you'd be devastated if someone else got their hands on them.
(love handle이라 함은 옆구리 살이 접혀서 손잡이처럼
늘어진 살이랄까나 홋홋.. 연구결과에 따르자면 결혼을 하면
여자들이 살이 확찌고 남자들은 그에비에 덜찐다는뎅)
3. Let Him Drive As Fast As He Likes
This is one of life's absolutes. Never, ever criticise a man's
driving. Oh nonono. You might as well make him wear a dress.
4. Applaud his DIY
Builiding and fixing things is more important to a man than he
could possibly say. It might not be PC, but changing a car
battery will still make a man feel like he has wrestled a tiger.
Apparently scientists have found that when women eat
chocolate, it brings on a response similar to being in love.
Men get the same thing when we put up new selves.
All you need to do is clap, coo and say,
"OHHH, MY MACHO MAN!!", then flutter your eyelashes.
We love that.
5. Let Him Spin The Kids Aounrd and Around Until They're Sick
Men and women often have very different ideas on childcare.
While you think a healthy diet and regular sleep patterns are
the way forward, he thinks eating Wotsits and pusing the kids
down the big water slide makes him Superdad. But he is a
parent too and he wants to be involved. Yes, you will have to
pick up the pieces but it will be worth to see the adoration
on the kids' faces - and the love on his.
(Wotsits: 치토스같은 불량과자~)
6. Smile at The Furry Handcuffs
He wants to buy you nice things but he just doesnt understand
Creme de la Mer and Balenciaga. So he buys you something
red from Ann Summers. To you, its tacky and cliched but to
him, it's a magnificient romantic gesture. The British male is
simply not built to be a cooing Julio Iglesias style romantic,
so bite your tongue and feign wonder at his gift.
But of course, if he buys you an iron, you are entirely
justified in making him sleep in the spare room.
(ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ. 아 Creme de la Mer는 한통에 20만원 좀더되는
영양크림이고 발렌시아가는 chic한 프랑스 명품브랜드야용
Ann Summers는 야시시 속옷파는 가게고-)
7. Change Him
Many psychologists would say you cannot change anyone
but it's actually part of your job as a wife to improve your
husband. In fact, we are relying on you to change us.
After all, if we'd been happy getting drunk and eating pot
noodles, we'd have stayed single. Gentle encouragement is the
key. If he cooks, tell him it's delicious. If he wears a floral shirt
because GQ says they are "very now", suggest something
more subdued. Give him a gentle nudge in the right direction.
You might not get George Clooney out the other end but
without your help, we'd all end up like Pete Doherty after
a night in a bush.

8. Sit on His Knee
So you've been married for a while and the flames of passion
have been reduced, If you have kids too, then the certain life
aspect can start to seem like a distant memory. Obviously,
the ideal solution would be throw on the Ann Summers outfit
and ambush him at the door, but if 12 hours of wrestling with
tantrums and tumble driers have worn you to a frazzle, then
at least sit on his knee. A cuddle every now and then - perhaps
a sudden snog during watching Lost, will go a long way
in making you both feel attractive and keeping thar physical
intimacy alive.
9. Let Him Think He is in Charge
The key word here is "think". obviously, you will be making
all the important decisions (where to go on holiday, who to
vote for the X factor) but right now, men are feeling undermined.
Hilary Clinton stolen our traditional roles and we are left with a
vague feeling of inadequacy. So massage his ego. Let him
read the map, choose the wine, pay for the meal. And most
importantly, let him jog the TV remote.
10. Remember "I Do"
One day, not so very long ago, there was a very nervous man
standing at the end of the aisle. The man stood up in front of
all your friends and family and told them he would be there for
you through thick and thin. And he swore to give up thinking
about Angelina Jolie. Well, sort of. Consider for a moment
how wonderful that idea is. Now think about all the stuff he
had to put up with over the years; the post menstrual syndromes,
the Jimmy Choos you pretended you got in a sale, the way
he sat through an entire box set of Sex and The City. And
remember how much that man loves you. Now go and get him
a beer. I think he's earned it.
아하하하.
음 요즘 시대에 맞춰서 계정된 영국판 가이드 라인이라는데
남자들 시각에서 봤을때 이렇게 보일수도 있겠구나 했다 ㅎㅎ
different perspectives.. ㅎㅎ
결혼을 해봐야 다 이해를 하겠지만 여하튼
이글을 남자들이 보고 어떤 생각이 들지 궁금하네.
Opinions, please.
