How do you make your man feel special?

[Somanykiddies]

Well ladies, what do you do?

ooh I've got loads of good ones

whinge at him about needing to do more housework

shout a lot about his clothes being left all over the floor

ring him up at work to moan about something else

mutter about him audibly under my breath as he is going away

plague him daily about all my imaginary illnesses

sigh a lot

oh yes indeedy, I know how to treat a man

Shamelessly bumping for more ideas!

acnebride - shoulders? If I said that he'd immediately assume I was having an affair.

DP just likes a kiss and cuddle every now and then.

.....he also told me to add that we had a naughty night in the bath and I shaved him and gave him a BJ he knew he would never forget - sorry if TMI but DP suggested it

He said that worked for him

cappucino .

Bite my tongue for an ENTIRE day and not once tell him what to do or not to do! Boy that's difficult though!

sometimes i will buy him beer without him needing to ask! i will get him the occasional treat like flavoured coffee too. i forever tell him howmuch i adore him and how proud i am of him and what a superb dad he is. i make a point of asking how his day was and try to have ameal on the table each night. he knows hes special!

right now? I don't bloody bother!
it's my birthday tomorrow and right now I need to be made to feel special! I know I sound like a whingey/selfish old bag, but I've had enough at the moment of looking after others/not sleeping/trying to hold it all together

apologies, ladies - for being such a grump, completely misplaced on this upbeat thread!
I'll now beat a v hasty retreat..

Then happy birthday for tomorrow MissChief! What have you organised for tomorrow to make sure you get sufficiently pampered?! I always have to spell it out in block letters : I would love to go to x theater and see x show for my birthday and then go to x restaurant.

Then all you have to do is play surprised on the big day, for some reason dh seems to expect that.

I wrap him in cling film and poo on his chest.

??!
Maybe I'll resort to that, if he doesn't treat me a bit tomorrow. Thanks for your lovely reply Sandy - I could feign surprise but as I booked both the babysitter & restaurant in front of him he "hadn'[t quite got round to it" - apparently my fault as i hadn't told him what i wanted to do. Sorry, getting again, shall strop off now...

Yes, MissChief always tell them two weeks ahead of your birthday. They're so lost without female guidance, poor sods.

Now make sure you strop off in the direction of a shoe shop and buy yourself the sexiest most expensive shoes he can afford. You'll feel much better afterwards!

..Now, there's a good idea! If he complains, shall remind him about his new car (which would cover a few new pairs now, wouldn't it?)

Somanykiddies...as another mn suggested if you feel that way inclined dress up in sexy underwear and give him a good massage. OR>..cook really nice meal with candles etc...then to bed ! !OR..breakfast in bed.

Treat him the way you would like to be treated. Simple as that. In dh's case that's a grab at his arse and constant reminders that George Clooney may have a gorgeous face, but his arse ain't nothing next to dh's. It's an acknowledgement that he's an adult who needs to let off steam occasionally, needs some one on one attention and time to himself occasionally as well. It's thanking him for the little things he does and complimenting him on his cooking or for the cup of tea he brings me occasionally. And if all else fails, administering a hand to his morning stiffy never goes out of favour

I try and make DPs sandwiches for work most days and always leave a lovely little note in there with it for him. Or let him watch Moto GP on sky when he wants (yawn). I also send him sexy text messages whilst he is at work, turns him on a treat

i pinch his arse and say " fancy a quicky afore the kids get home" ( wink wink.

i tell him i like his muscles - he hasnt got any

i tell him i like his brains - he has got them

By letting him live! lol

By being here!

um................ um....................

Who said romance was dead! Some great tips and lots of laughs, thanks ladies. Alternatively, if the chaps are out there, what does your other half do to make you feel good?

Am I supposed to?

ditto to MI I have to say.

Of course, make the effort, see what happens!

I buy him a whole rotiserried chicken

Anyone seen the Chris Rock gag about "Give Daddy the big piece of chicken"? Vair funny
