1) whatever you think he is thinking, 9 times out of 10, he isn't: men are not capable of the complex thought patterns that women are or think men are capable of. sometimes, women give men way too much credit...

2) react to something when it happens: another irrational girly reaction is having something happen that bothers you, don't say something, and get mad about it later but masking it under something that has absolutely nothing to do with what has REALLY got you irked. If it doesn't make sense when I explain, imagine how much sense it makes when it happens...

3) "nothing": number one on my personal list. when something is obviously wrong and your mate cares enough to ask, do not reply with nothing more than two times. because we are not going to figure it out. even better, we are going to make matters worse because we will ring off a list of things that you are not mad at but are now that "we brought them up"...

4) playing games: some examples: acting cutesy when you fuck up, acting like you don't care when you do, getting mad when we do things that you do to us, acting like you are mad "just to see how we will react" etc...

there are more but i cannot think of them right now. when they come to me i'll make additions
