What Men Do For Love

By Cindy Crawferd

It doesn't matter what sex you are, falling in love and entering into a relationship with a significant other changes your life. Things like sharing living space, cooking for two instead of just yourself and leaving the toilet seat down (or up, as the case may be) are just a few of the obvious things that will be different.

Some of the changes will be less obvious especially for men. You'll be surprised at some of the things that men do for love. Keep reading to see if you recognize yourself;

TV Shows

Guys, if you can spell out in detail the differences between empire waistlines and dropped waistlines and now how to "smile with your eyes" then chances are you've been roped into watching too many episodes of your gal pal's favorite show; "America's Next Top Model". Hopefully you've been bored stiff. If you find yourself scanning the fall premier schedule for the show's return, then unfortunately you're hooked.

Giving your wallet a workout

Here's something a lot of guys do. Rather than develop a way with words, they spend, spend, spend their way into their gal pal's hearts. They think nothing of dropping a big wad of cash on jewelry, perfume and more. And all because they're not too good at words (or just think they're not).

Yoga Anyone?

Women have long been told that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach. Likewise, men are under the impression that they can impress a gal by pretending interest in her hobbies, like yoga. You overheard her say she loves her yoga class, and the next thing you know you're one of only two men in the entire class trying to contort your body into the shape of a pretzel wondering if this is what love is all about.

Who needs a driver?

This is one of those things that starts small and ends up big. Small as in offering to pick her up for dinner at your place. Big as in she's going out of town for a family visit and you offer to drive her because, well, you love her and want to spend time with her.

Fighting to impress

Ah yes, the chest thumping; a leftover courtesy of the caveman. While men have thankfully left the whole dragging her off by the hair thing behind them, chest thumping appears to remain popular. Case in point. You're at the movies. In front of you is a bunch of loud, foul mouthed teenagers. Rather than asking management to deal with it, you deal with it yourself. And they deal with you after the movie is finished. Get my point?

Changing cities

This is a tough choice for men and women alike. We finally meet someone with whom we really believe we could have a future. Only they're moving. Next month. Halfway across the country. What to do? Do we forget about him or her, do we try a long distance relationship, or do we start packing? This one is definitely a life changing decision! - 32510
