I don’t need to tell you that men and women are different. That’s old news. One place that some of these differences play out is when women think just because they care about certain things, men do, too. Newsflash ladies, men don’t care about much except living, sexing and game time. For some of you love-sick romantics, here are a few little details to keep in the back of your head next time you think you are impressing a man. He doesn’t care if:
1) Your bra and panties match
I know that coordination is something women do, which is why you can buy a bra and panty set together. But really, they’d prefer it all off anyway. So if you have on a fuschia bra and magenta panties, who cares? “Not I” says the bear. By the way, fuschia and magenta could be the same color as far as men know. Color is color.
2) Your boob size
See, if he’s with you, it’s because he likes you as you are. Which includes your boobs. He just wants to make sure you have some because, well, men like boobs. A-cup or Triple-H. He likes what you have because its part of you. So don’t keep asking if your boobs are big enough. They’re never big enough. But he’s happy with yours because they’re yours which means they’re his for as long as you’ll let him play with them.
3) Decorating
Have you, ladies, ever done a bang up job decorating your man’s place…or better yet, thrown him a party with lavish decorations and stuff, and when he saw it he barely noticed and went for the first comfortable spot he could find? It’s because men dig comfort and routine. All that stuff can be extremely nice, but if it wasn’t there, would he find a way to be comfortable? Probably. I know many women need to create a space to feel like home. Most men create home with the space they have.
4) Gossip
It’s not that they don’t know who Paris Hilton is or who she’s sleeping with. I’m sure he’s heard about it on the news. However, he doesn’t care. Isn’t that why they have girlfriends? All the details of your friends love affairs are of no interest to him. Just pass a beer and he’ll listen anyway.
5) Why you are late
They’re generally just pissed that we’re late. The reason is insignificant. That’s jacked up, but really, so is that outfit–which means it’s not a good reason to be late. Do better next time.
Get it out of your head that your guy wants to hear about the latest trends and flip through your girly mags. The only thing he wants to read is Maxim or Playboy. Unless you have a blinking light on your forehead to hold his attention, keep it simple and short, and hold back on the decorating tips.

i agree w everything except the first part. that is so not true. i care about alot of other things. there’s sleeping, and eating, sleeping right after i’ve eaten, video games, looking at chicks, on either t.v., in magazines, or at public places, eating while looking at chicks… i’m like a freakin modern day renaissance man!
