The Things My Guy Friends Tell Me

Iona is a Wellness Coach specialising in relationships and dating.…

I work with a whole bunch of guys. From time to time they may break the bro code and tell me what they really think about girls. I share these tidbits with my girlfriends from time to time but I figure, why not, mine as well share them with you too!

On How Much Effort They’d Make to Getting Laid

“It’s like baking. If it takes an hour to make the pie and 5 minutes to eat it, there’s no point”.

“There are some girls who are mildly hot and highly crazy. Those are the ones you just sleep with for a night…maybe two. It depends on the hot-crazy ratio. The hotter you are the more tolerant we’ll be of the craziness”.

“If it’s there for the taking, I’ll take it”.

“How many beers have I had. The amount of beers I have will determine how much effort I put in”.

On When He’s Serious About a Girl

“I’ll always make sure there’s another date lined up. I may not necessarily declare our relationship status but I’ll make sure I see her again”.

“Texting becomes an ongoing conversation. I’m either all in or not. If I’m serious, she will know”.

“I’ll text her the first thing in the morning. She will be the first thing I think of. I’ll also make an effort to organise dates…proper dates, not just dinner and a movie at someone’s house”.

On What a Girl Can Do to Make His Day

“Have dinner sorted when I’m home and give me the space to just chill out and not talk. Girls assume that if a guy is quiet, something is wrong. Most of the time, we are not thinking of anything. Just let us be”.

“Make me dinner or if she can’t cook, organise it”.

“Morning sex”.

“If he’s had a busy day at work, organise dinner and movie at home so he can sit down, relax, eat and chill. BJ optional”.

I don’t think there’s anything new here but it’s a good reminder that men are really that simple. For more insights on men and what they think of traditional dating myths, what he notices when he first sees you and how long he’d take to propose, check out our free ebook – That’s What He Said.
