How to Get on His Good Side

If you know anything about men, it should be that we are easy to please.  A thick piece of seared steak with a dollop of mustard is enough to give most men goose bumps.  Add a metal container that produces fire and you have a fully satisfied man.  If you want to take his happiness a step further than throwing him a weekly barbecue, use these tips to get on his good side.

 

5. Don’t Gossip

 

No matter how juicy the information is that you know about your man’s past or present, learn to keep it to yourself.  Gossiping about your man (or any person for that matter) is never good.  A basic rule of thumb is to imagine he is there with you – would you still divulge the information if he was listening?  The bottom line is that gossiping is disrespectful and demeaning, no matter how much you like or dislike the person you are gossiping about.  You basically sacrifice his integrity and respect for a quick moment of entertainment.

 

At the other end of the spectrum, watch what you say to your man regarding gossip about other people.  Sharing may be caring, but if you constantly relay every tiny piece of gossip to your man, he’ll get the impression that you may have similarly loose lips about him.  If you want to get on his good side, exchange gossip for encouragement and positivity – talk only about people’s problems is you are actively engaged in helping fix them. 

 

Not gossiping also means not constantly spewing forth a deluge of small personal facts about him to your friends.  Even mundane facts can quickly bore or irritate your friends, not to mention undermining his privacy.  Would you want your man to tell his friends that you shave your legs sitting on the toilet?  Then don’t tell your girlfriends that he does it.

 

4. Comfort Him

 

A cozy man is a happy man.  The best ways to comfort him involve food, entertainment, and rest.  Whether it’s your boyfriend, friend, or family member, cooking him a nice meat-rich meal or taking him out to the local steakhouse every once in a while is sure to elicit a smile from him.  As for entertainment, you can rent a good Mafia flick or change the channel to a sports game every once in a while.  Trust us, he won’t complain.

 

3. Have a Tomboy Side

 

Men love women they can connect with on a personal level.  By personal, I mean his true personality.  No need to go to the extreme and start beating him at the X-Box every night, but if throw in a raunchy joke here or there and watch his eyes glow.

 

2. Admire Him


Men have giant egos that can never be completely satisfied.  It’s important to stroke it once in a while so he feels admired.  Throw him a bone and show him support on his next project, even if he is building a speedboat from scratch that you know will end up in the local dump.

 

1. Love Him

The most effective way to get on his good side is to show him sincere affection.  Love can come in the form of a kiss or hug, or just by simply telling him.  With love comes respect, support, and consideration.  Even if he doesn’t always reciprocate (usually when he is watching the soccer), know that he appreciates the love you give him.
