1. Guys, stop dousing yourselves with fragrance. If a man is swimming in cologne, chances are he's drowning out all of his better qualities.
2. Men who wear sunglasses at night don't look cool, rich, or sexy. They look as if they should be holding a cane or following a dog.
3. I know it's 2006, and believe me when I say that a woman can more than stand on her own. Nevertheless, we still love it when, every so often, you take control. Without stepping on our toes.
4. Don't go running in fear or in search of the fire extinguisher every time we start crying. Sometimes tears are a good thing. Stick around for the end result.
5. We do have a sixth sense. Women, like Santa Claus, know when you've been bad or good. So you know what to do . . . for goodness' sake.
6. Women can stomach more than you think. We've seen Scarface and all three Godfathers just as many times as you have. And our Tony Montana impression just might be better than yours, even if we don't do it as often.
7. Our favorite foreplay technique? Mental stimulation. The kind where we're mentally tickled to the point of laughter.
8. Contrary to popular belief, longer in bed is not necessarily better. I'm not talking about size here, fellas (more on that later); I'm talking about duration. Let's just say that if you're pushing an hour (no pun intended), we'll likely be stifling a yawn.
9. Size really doesn't matter that much. Big can be less pleasurable than average. But no pinkies. (Think about the fingers on your hands.)
10. When doubt has crept in and we've driven you to insanity, remember this: According to the Bible, "Whoso findeth a wife, findeth a good thing."
