How to be a princess charming

…is the title of a cheesy but cute little book I got from Taiwan which basically contains 33 secrets to make men adore you. It’s written by a man, so I’m sure there are some truths to these secrets, but just how universally applicable are they? That’s what I want to know.

1. You can lie to men, but don’t treat them like idiots.
2. You can spend his money, but don’t treat him like your sugar daddy.
3. You can give up everything for him, but don’t expect him to be grateful.
4. Be his secretary, not his boss.
5. If he doesn’t pick up after 2 calls, don’t call a third time.
6. Disappear from his presence for at least 2 hours each day.
7. When there’s nothing to benefit from an argument, limit yourself to 3 words or less.
8. Look up to him with adoration, and he’ll willingly become your slave.
9. Your business card is for doing business, not for dating.
10. When he has unrealistic dreams, praise him first, then question him about it the next day.
11. You can point out his mistakes, but don’t go digging up and reciting his whole dirty history.
12. You can ask him to buy you food at 2 in the morning, but let him do it willingly.
13. You can reason with him, but don’t talk like a supreme court justice.
14. Men don’t care if you’re manipulative, they just care about your motive.
15. If you must mention the ex, make sure you make the current one sound like your savior.
16. Use words to express your concerns, but don’t nag.
17. Brag about his taste, not the price of the said item.
18. When gossiping with him, don’t play A off against B and purposely hurt others.
19. You can let him join you on a girl’s night out, but don’t try to turn him into your butt buddy.
20. You can dress up, but don’t look like a call girl.
21. You can have pets, but don’t treat him like one.
22. If he is hiding something from you, let him be the one to fess it up.
23. Learn how to say no the right way, and they’ll go crazy for you.
24. Men’s pet peeves are like balloons, and our ignorance would be the pin.
25. When he’s being stubborn, don’t ask too much from him.
26. When you two are in a passionate kiss, for the love of God, please refrain from laughing out loud.
27. Be an independent, but don’t try be manly.
28. You can throw a tantrum in your backyard, but when in public, sweet and submissive is the key.
29. You can get a nose job, but don’t turn your whole face into Jessica Alba’s.
30. When he’s still being fickle with his ex, don’t let him treat you like Dominoe’s Pizza.
31. You can do the chasing in the relationship, but don’t act like an animal in heat.
32. Don’t tell him EVERYTHING about yourself on the first date.
33. When talking about each other’s dreams, don’t force yours onto him.

So what do you all think? Accurate? Some of the titles can seem a bit vague or exaggerated, but the author does go into detail and explain his reasoning for why he thinks that. Any ones in particular you’d like me to share in future entries? Comments, suggestions, questions, debates, all welcome! Error processing request
