I remember when I was a teenager my mom gave me the book “Chicken Soup For the Teenage Soul”. I loved this book! It had all kinds of little places to journal and cute feel good stories to read but my favorite was a list of “Why Guys Like Girls”. It was the cutest list I had ever read and I wanted to find a guy that thought about me just like the guys in this list! Sadly I don’t have my book anymore, I’m not sure what happened to it between all my moves to school and getting married but I did find the list that I loved so much online. (And yes after being married for 7 years, I still feel all gitty when I read this list and I do feel like my husband could have written it!!) And don’t worry I also found a list in my search that I really liked called “Why Girls Like Guys”. So get ready to think “awwww!” They are cheesy but so worth it 🙂

When you look them in the eyes, traveling to the depths of their souls and you say a million things without even speaking, you know that your own life is consumed by their love. We love them for a million reasons; it is a thing, an indescribable feeling.

This is very nice. 🙂
as a guy I can say #6 and #24 on the girl’s list are absolutely false.and on the guy’s list, I’ve never met a girl that likes you messing w/ their hair, and looking confused just makes women angrier.
Mr. Metric, I think if either is false for you, something is terribly wrong on your end. It requires a lot of love, but it is worth it.
