My boyfriend is gorgeous, smart, athletic, well-mannered but for some reason, he almost always tucks a paper napkin in his collar when he eats. I asked him why and he says he does not want to get any stains on his shirt and that he has always done this. I noticed that when I have had dinner with his family, his two brothers do the same. My friend went to prom with a guy that wore a napkin attached to one of those dental bib chains during dinner at a fancy restaurant. She said her date was paranoid about getting anything on his tux. I guess it is a smart idea but it is also kind of embarrassing. I guess guys don't get embarrassed as easily as girls.

His parents probably forced him to do so since childhood. Call it a habit I suppose.

The first time I shaved was because my bf likes it that way, and now I keep It that way all the time because I feel so much cleaner that way! I don't see why your gf wont tell you why though.. There should be no reason to be embarrassed about it.

I believe that the true gentlemen have not all died and gone. I believe that a lot of men are intimidated by the idea of  a liberated woman. I feel that we can talk our men into most anything. Why not talk him into being more of a gentleman. He wasn't passing gas and scratching while he was dating you and taking you out, or was he. In that case, you knew what you were getting. In the other case, ask him to bring that guy back that you were dating and fell in love with. If this is a first date for you, demand that he do gentlemanly things. We blow it because we have sex on the first date and men think we aren't worthy of affection and the chivalrous behavior of gentlemen from back in the day. We are strong and quick to move. Be still, wait for him to open the door before you just snatch it open, wait for him to pull out your chair. It will be hard for him to have dinner with a woman who is still in the car, or better yet standing next to the table at the restaurant. We mustn't forget that a lot of today's men have no idea what this chivalry is, so if we want it, we have to in some cases teach it and in all cases demand it. Respect yourself and the gentleman will act accordingly. In the field of Mental Health, we say that we should tell the kids what we want from them not what we don't want. The same applies here. Tell him that you want hin to be more of a gentleman instead of assuming that he's just an ass. If that is how you see him, that is the behavior you will get. I see my man as a gentleman and he never opened doors for me until we talked about it and then just recently while we were out, i noticed that he rushed to the door to open it for me. It's a process and it has to start somewhere, why not with you. \n\nClarissa\nSylva, NC

I have a boyfriend who likes to wear skirts and makeup.  It's called being a transvestite and it doesn't make a guy gay.  Some guys just like to wear women's clothes.  If I were you I would let him wear my things, but that's a matter of your comfort level.  Maybe you could go shopping together and buy some girl clothes for him to wear if you don't want him to wear yours.

Have you talked to him about it ? If not you  should. But don't take it personally,I'm sure it has nothing to do with you as a person or your looks.  It sounds pretty innocent,nothing too abnormal. Just sit down and talk to him about it. Good luck sweaty !

you shouldn't be embarresed by this. EVERYONE takes a crap EVERYDAY when you gotta go, you gotta go! so just go! i mean, if he really loves you, he won't care about you taking a dump. besides, if guys can fart in public, and think it's not embarrising...well, you get the point. just go do your buissness.

Well, personally I don't like long hair, too much of a hassle to clean and makes me feel like a chick.  But guys that do have long hair have it because they believe it makes them look good.  This style is not for everyone, though.  Guys and the showing of underwear...  I assure you that most guys will not publicly humiliate themselves by having their underwear showing.  My opinion is that they are trying to be harder than they really are because thugs and gangstas are supposed to (are at least that how their portrayed on television usually) where they clothes that reveal they undies.  Tell this guy "FYI, thugs and gangsta wore there pants like you are wearing yours because they didn't have money to buy belts, and back in the '80s up to about mid-'90s it was actually considered trifling."

I would never date a guy that smokes.  His clothes always smell bad, as does his house, car, skin, breath, everything.  Not to mention that most like to smoke when out to eat and I absolutely can NOT eat with someone smoking beside me.  I don't allow smoking in my house or car either so that would cause a big problem.  I dated one once and believe me we did NOT last long.

One theory I've heard is that it is a way for a man to "mark" you as his own.\nI don't know whether I believe that, but my boyfriend likes to bite, too.

It depends on how close you are to them. I myself have some unwanted facial hair, and being a female, I had all my best friends suggest waxing, bleaching, whatever. It hurt me the first time said something to me, but only because I thought she was trying to tell me she was ashamed to be seen with me if I had my hair up in a pony tail. Try it out if you want, but don't make it about you. Try saying you only brought it up to save her/him the embarrassment later. Personally, I never did anything about my manly side burns. Mainly because they aren't as bad as some people made it out to be. Although the waxing is still under debate. And the fact that I am so sick of society telling ME what is wrong with ME instead of taking a look in the mirror. Anyways, Good luck, and remember not to let it sound like you are ashamed of this person. =)

I was thinking about something like this just the other day, how liberated women are to be able to wear what they like suits, trousers, ties no one bats an eyelid - yet if a man wears a skirt or make up everyone throws a hoohaa and the guy is labelled a pervert or worse. This is simply not right, I hope that society will overcome this shameful stigma rapidly and appreciate that we should be able to wear what we like when we like.\n\nI wish you the best of luck with what you do, but don't keep this as a thing which you are embarrassed or ashamed about - the more people who are proud of who they are, I firmly believe, the faster society will accept it. And if you are planning to surprise your partner with your stilettos I advise you warn them because you don't want any of the above narrow-minded reactions :)

ladies....for far too long...we wait on men to tell u our self worth..as my friend here...my girl..please dnt degrade yourself...dont get me wrong I have no problem with the tiny or tight clothes..no one could dress skimpier than I....its how u carry yourself that separates you from the rest..now first of all...if your friend does that...she doesnt have your back..females need to start looking out for each other rather than back biting/stabbing. You have to make sure that whatever you do in this life..you do it for you..let the choice of clothes be cause you love the way u look and you love celebrating yourself...dont wait on a man to tell you what you are worth....always be able to live with your decisions...because they were made by you for you...in your best interest.....because let me tell you..no one will care for your heart...better than you..and only you...so...if your friend wants to go that way...keep her ...at a safe distance...because god knows when next she will try that shit..and keep the guy just as far...always remember though..its not the outside party that must carry the majority of the blame...especially if you knew one before the other...If the one closest to you is the one doing the betrayal..make sure that they are the ones who suffer the consequences ..because the outside party is not obligated to you in any way...they are not obliged to care what destruction they cause..as opposed to the one who is your supposed friend or better/other half...

I have a sexy boyfriend of 4 years.  It's like ALL chics go for him.  The reason why he went for and kept with me I think is b/c I'm not the jealous type (guys like to have a 'pawn' to play against their mates when it comes to bargaining the relationship if anything goes wrong, and jealousy can get dangerous and irritable, causing a rift).  He LIKES that I'm easy-going and not jealous, so that gives me extra confidence points he can appreciate.  If I were to act out of jealousy, it may just wear my mystery out instead of confirm my love for him.  If we get into stupid fights, I act as if I don't care if he thinks he can just go out with somebody else (he threatens to at worst, but then he chooses not to on his own)!  My point is, ACT INDEPENDENT, so that he has something to respect you for.  DON'T be at his beck-and-call so that he thinks "oh, I can just have her anytime I want; that chic is always available to me".

Wear his favorite color, or something that he has complimented you on when you wore it. That way he will be more likely to remember the event with vivid detail. I know that sounds horrible to say that he won't remember... but trust me. Guys don't relish the details like we do...lol

I so agree with you!  If a guy isn't trying to impress you on a date then you shouldn't even bother.  Plus... suits are just amazingly sexy on a man.

He's just making sure that the buns are still fresh. What's abnormal about that?\n\nSeriously, people have different levels of comfort. Some of us have no problem wearing thongs (try a thong - more comfortable than a gstring) and this is not necessarily a bad thing. Of course, there are some fashions that are probably less comfortable with thongs and then you should go with what YOU feel you should be wearing... ANY WAY ABOUT IT, you should go about with what YOU are comfortable doing and wearing.\n\nDon't let your boyfriend rule you. He is JUST a boyfriend. He can be replaced if he doesn't act like you want your man to be.
