Survival Tip#3 How to Bear Suffering

Surivival Tip #2 Shopping for Her

Have you ever been at a store and wanted to shop for a woman but you don’t quite know what to shop for or what to get her?  C’mon, it’s not that hard!  Just remember this: When you shop for a woman, think like a woman. 

Your probably like “Heh?”  It’s pretty basic, what do women like?  If you were a woman, what would you want to recieve? 

Here are some gift ideas for the woman impaired shopper:

• Diamonds are forever, never forget that phrase men!  Women will ALWAYS accept jewelry.
• Flowers spell L-O-V-E!  A nice boquet of flowers is always a nice touch to any gift.
• Don’t get anything that says “You smell bad.”  This includes any type of hygienic products.  You want to avoid that negative statement as much as possible.
• Avoid anything that’s black, because this says that “Your fat.”  It’s just one of those no-no gifts.
• Women love it when you actually put time into a gift.  You have to give a gift that comes from the heart….I suggest something like for example, if it’s her birthday make her a cake…  Women will absolutely love that. 
• Chocolate is always a delicacy.  If you run out of ideas, you can always get her chocolate : )

Just always remember: “When you shop for a woman, think like a woman.”  You can never go wrong.  Just, make sure it’s something she likes, not what you like…. : )

Good Luck!

Happy Martin Luther King Observance Day!

Survival Tip #1 How to Impress the In-Laws

Sometimes life gives us things that we have to deal with.  One of which happens to be our wonderful (or for some gruesome) in-laws.  For those of you with the gruesome in-laws, we have some things to discuss.  For those of you with good in-laws, this tip may not be for you.

First of all, let’s get one thing straight: In-Laws are sort of like scientists.  They kind of experiment around with things, sometimes just to get a certain reaction out of you.  You see, they can be tricky, that’s why you need to constantly be on your toes.  For example, let’s pretend that you’re dating and that you get engaged and you go to meet the in-laws for the first time (obviously you’d probably meet them before you would get engaged, but anywho going on…) and the in-laws ask you a question like “So, you don’t plan on cheating on my daughter do you?”  Or, “You do know that my son is a very good man right?”  Now, of course, my guess would be that they’re just joking around, but if they’re not…hmmmm…good luck.  But, don’t you just hate that, how in-laws can be that way?  In your mind your probably screaming, wanting a way out of this situation.  In other words, watch out for the big questions like that.

Secondly, DRESS!!!!  You probably knew this was coming but, I thought I’d just add it in anyways.  The dress is semi-simple.  This is more towards his/her mother, since women are more fashion-esque in this way.  No one’s gonna want a person who dresses like a slob nor does anyone want a person who dresses like they’re rich or something.  So, with that in mind, you need to pick a pair of good casual clothes, something that says “I love him/her as much as I love my mom” but not “I wanna marry her.”  You wanna avoid the “I wanna marry her/him” phrase as much as you can, because some parents get a little scared about that prospect.  Wait until the right moment when you ever use the phrase “I wanna marry him/her.”  So, therefore, I suggest the following:

• Wear a nice pair of Khaki pants and a nice shirt to go with it (preferably stripes…if possible).
• Absolutely NO JEANS!!!!  Unless your helping him/her parents outside with something….
• Wearing a tie usually gives off a professional type of look. (No clip ons)
• I would suggest if you really wanted to pull off a professional look, you buy moonshine dress shoes (At least, I think that’s what they’re called.).  They’re the shiniest black dress shoes you could ever buy…and they’re expensive as hell but I bet you can get some cheap off of ebay.
• Buy a cheap watch to match everything you wear.  It’ll only add to that professional look you’re trying to establish.

Remember, these are just suggestions.  As you can tell, professionalism goes a longggg way, it shows confidence.  Just dress nicely please….these are your In-Laws here, have respect.

Lastly, a few rules of conduct to remember:

1. The In-Laws are always right
2. Be quiet unless you have to answer their questions or have something nice to say.
3. Be yourself.

On a final note, mainly just respect the In-Laws.  You’d be surprised what a little preparation can do to impress the In-Laws.  Just be confident, and you’ll do just fine.
