Since my marriage is in the crapper, I figured I needed to do some research on why I must not have been her "perfect guy." Although not specifically mentioned, I think my bad breath and body odor was also a contributing factor.

How to Be the Perfect Guy for Her

It's not enough to know what women want. You also have to know how to deliver it to them. Luckily, being an amazing beau or husband doesn't require a lot of legwork.  You simply have to know how they tick.

1. Don't Worry About Looking like Brad Pitt

Sure, she might drool over a ridiculously hot guy, but that doesn't mean she needs to come home to one.  When asked what the most important quality is in a beau, only 2% of Cosmo readers say looks.  And if you're thinking, Well, yeah, that's because she wants a dude with boatloads of cash, you should know that money isn't such a big draw either.  Just 3% say financial and career success matters the most in a relationship.  42% of Cosmo readers say what they really care about is a sense of humor, while 38% say sweetness. 

2. Do Something When She's in a Bad Mood

If your girlfriend or wife is having a really crappy day, your first instinct might be to back away slowly -- maybe you're not sure what to say, maybe you're afraid of suddenly and inexplicably provoking an outburst.  But only 2% of our readers want to be left alone!  So you have to be brave and stick it out with her.

3. Know When -- and How -- to Be a Gentleman

These days, you never can tell if pulling her chair out will yield an "Oh, thank you" or a "What, you didn't think I could do it myself?!"  There's a reason it's complicated.  Women need a little of both: 84% of Cosmo readers admit that while they want their guy to be a gentleman, they still like having a say in things.

4. Ditch Any and All Jealousy Triggers

If a chick doesn't trust you, the accusations probably fly every time you hit the bars without her.  When asked what a deal breaker is in relationships, 56% of readers say a guy who is too flirty with other girls.  To keep from having powwows (or screaming matches) every other day, you have to earn her trust.

5. Hone Your Kissing Skills

74% of women say bad kissing is a sexual downer, and for very good reason.  Women read a lot into a kiss…like how a man will be in bed.  No pressure though.

6. Take Your Sweet Time in the Sack

You don't need us to tell you that women need foreplay…lots of foreplay.  In fact, 84% of readers want more than 15 minutes of it.  The key is making sure she knows that pleasing her is, uh, fun for you too.

Yes, Joe. Sometimes I feel the need to "step out of the box" and tackle some of the more complex emotional issues of a man's life since it also affects our physical well-being.

At some point it just seems fruitless to have to get that many keys out of your pocket in order to open the safe. If you know what I mean.
The free man owns himself. He can damage himself with either eating or drinking....... If he does he is certainly a damn fool, and he might possibly be a damned soul; but if he may not, he is not a free man any more than a dog.

Thank god, I do look like Brad Pitt.  It makes scoring a little easier.  Sorry to all you ugly guys. BTW, I think there is a typo in #6.  You typed that women want more than 15 minutes.  I think you meant to type 15 seconds.  Whenever I'm on top of a chick she always just wants me to get off quickly.  Sometimes though, I can stretch it to a minute!!!

Ya, Scott....you certainly have a leg up given your dashing good looks! Sorry bout' the typo....you're correct that the average amount of time necessary for foreplay is indeed 15 seconds, then it's "wham bam, thank you maam."    Boner
