Lesson 14: Repetition

Defined as: "1526, 'act of saying over again,' from L. repetitionem (nom. repetitio)"

A simple lesson for today, repetition is both good and bad, depending on the circumstance. And since its best you not play trial and error until your girlfriend dumps you, allow me to outline when repetition is necessary, and when it is not.

Keep in mind that this may not make sense to you. From my external research conducted, this lesson has baffled many male counterparts. That is not what is important. What is important is that you learn these things, or at the very least memorize these guidelines, so as to know the appropriate protocal to ensure that "happy days are here to stay".

Things that are necessary to repeat:
a. "I love you"
Yes, I understand that you told me yesterday. But today is a WHOLE new day. Things could have changed. I like it when you remind me.
b. You're pretty/beautiful/sexy/lovely/great/wonderful (any positive adjective will work here)
Yes I know. You told me this morning. But my mind plays little games with me when I look in the mirror. So long as you remind me these things, together we can avoid a F.D.
c. I like to spend time with you/I'm looking forward to spending time with you/ I can't wait until we can spend time together again
In your mind, we may have had a good time. In my mind, you complaining about having to watch ANTM, road raging home from the resteraunt, or generally being complacent about the fact that you've been in my AMAZING presence for the past few hours has caused doubt, which you need to alleviate before I feel better.

Things you need not repeat:
As I began typing, millions of specific examples flooded to mind. I will try to keep this section as general as possible:
a. Anything about any of my good looking friends that reinforces how attractive they are. (i.e. Yes, Piitz is a knockout. But she's taken, she'd never sleep with you anyways, and if you want to continue sleeping with me, you best keep it down about how fantastic she look:.I already know.)
b. I don't need to know anything that involves "gross stuff". This included things found in your stool, the colour of your mucus in your tissue that morning, the scent that your anus emitted in a public place, blood or gore details etc.
c. The sports highlights are facinating. I'm sure. But just as you had no interest in following Summer and Seth's dramatic relationship during the O.C. season, I could care less about UFC stats.
d. Anything about women I don't know. I don't care if Sally from your office is 65, overweight, and has cronic B.O., if I don't know her, I want to pretend you work in a bubble, and only have eyes for me. Chances are, if you mention Sally more than once, it means you've been looking at her more than once.
e. Expensive things you oogle over. I understand...I would like some bling jewelry and pre-payed spa visits, but I know they're not in my nor your budget. Let's not depress either of us by discussing how expensive that flat screen 270 inch (or however big they come) tv is.


Simple, right?
Girls like to hear nice things. It doesn't matter how often you've told us, we need to be told all the time! Don't argue, don't try to understand why....just do it. It keeps the peace.
