10 Important things a man should know about a woman
Janelle Icon

Since you’ve had three days of awesome excerpts, and I don’t have a book out this month, I thought I’d post something fun. Here’s a list of facts a man should know about a woman, and if you feel the need to print it out and post it somewhere for your significant other to find and read, go right ahead!

Oh, and enjoy the hotties, ladies! :devil:

1. Women like wild and crazy men for dating purposes because they’re exciting and unpredictable. But when it comes to choosing “The One”, we don’t want tempestuous, temperamental and tattoos; we want responsible, reliable, and real. (See, we’re not so different from men after all!)

2. A surprise weekend at a romantic bed and breakfast is to a woman what 50-yard-line seats at the Super Bowl are to a man.

3. As a rule, we know when you’re lying.

4. We always know when you’re sneaking looks at (a) another woman, (b) our breasts and/or (c) our butt. It doesn’t matter how shrewd, furtive, or quick the glance is.

5. One lie spoils a thousand truths. Once discovered, it will be stored in long-term memory for later retrieval.

6. There is no such thing as too many shoes. Ditto for the perfect little black dress.

7. A great haircut can give us a new lease on life. A bad one is not to be trivialized, minimized, or joked about.

8. A good woman is as excited about a gift that costs nothing as she is about a gift that costs a lot. (The perfect, quirky gift that shows that you’ve been listening is worth twice the value of anything you’d find at Tiffany’s).

9. “Menage a trois” is French for “In Your Dreams”.

10. Love does not mean never having to say you’re sorry. It means having to say you’re sorry over and over again, in new and different ways, every day, every week, every month, every year, even when you don’t want to, until God grants you his mercy and you finally, blissfully, die.

So, which fact was your favorite? And is there any other facts for the man in your life that you’d like to add to the list?

JanelleJanelle Denison finds it hard to believe that it’s been nearly 20 years since she first started writing romance novels. At first, it was a way to pass idle time while her husband worked swing shift, but before long it became an obsession to get published. Luckily, she kept at it (it took her over 5 years to get that first book published!) and is now a Waldenbooks, Barnes & Noble, and USA Today Bestselling author! Now, after selling over 40 plus novels, she finds that her Plotmonkey pals help to keep her stories fresh and unique, and she can’t imagine writing a story without their input. Janelle lives in Oregon with her husband, Don, along with two teenage daughters that keep life interesting.

    #2 is a favorite of mine. Of course I also like the surprise gifts (not the amount of money spent on them) when I least expect it. Anything romantic is good for me. A simple walk on the beach at sunset to coming home to a bubble bath, candle lit, glass of wine and favorite music playing.

    #4 is my favorite. My husband is always surprised that I catch him. For one I have eyes and can tell when someone is going to catch his eye and I’m also a mom so I have eyes in the back of my head. I don’t really mind the looks it keeps everything evened out when I look and he doesn’t catch me.

    #6 is my favorite. My hubby once accused me of praying for bad weather for an outdoor wedding we were attending so I would have a reason to go buy new shoes. It rained and I did!!! his nickname for me is Imelda. :thumbsup:

    I got a hoot out of #9. They were all great and worth printing out and posting for the man in your life to see. Thanks Janelle.

    All of them are worthy of being printed out and kept. But I think that #5 is so true, not necessarily to throw back at them, but it is one that will be looked back on again and again.

    When I was married for about 5 years, my husband was a best man in his best friend’s wedding. He and I actually came up with #10 and he used it in a speech. I love them all and am forwarding them to hubby!

    Have a great time, everyone!:)

    #6 is my favorite!! My husband can’t understand the “shoe thing” I have. His theory is you NEED 2 pairs of shoes. A pair of sneakers and a pair of “dress shoes” for when you go to special occasions!! When I come home with another pair of shoes that I just had to have he just shakes his head at me and laughs. NOW THAT’S A GOOD MAN!!!!

    #5 is very important, the man in your life really needs to understand that. #2 & #8 are important to keep a relationship happy. Men also need to understand that! Most of us are not really hard to please. :)
    Yummy pictures! :thumbsup2:

    I think #5 holds so much truth – uh…duh… – you know what I mean. I’m so glad my husband and I have a relationship where there is no questioning our honesty towards one another. I must admit, however, it was very difficult for me to read your post. My eyes kept zooming to the god in the thong. yummmmm.

    #9 LOL. How true for most of us this is. But if I can have 2 of these guys I might be able to rethink my point of view. Here’s where you are supposed to laugh!

    I think #5 is the most important in a relationship, but, #9 is the one that really made me laugh.
