帮他洗衣服

We've all been in relationships where, at times, we've felt more like a mom or a secretary than a significant other. While we understand that healthy relationships require compromises, we've compiled a list of favors that good boyfriends know better than to consistently request. If you're constantly taking on any of the items on this list (especially with any hint of resentment), it's time to get your guy to lend a hand.www.kekenet.com

1. His laundry
Pairing your socks isn't exactly our idea of a stay-at-home date, nor does living with you make us a 1950s housewife. A good compromise is for one partner to sort and start the laundry and the other to fold and put it away. Plus, studies show that helping around the house increases a man's chances of getting laid. So, how 'bout that pile of dishes? If you clean up the sink while we tackle the living room, we'll get to the bedroom twice as fast. www.kekenet.com
你帮他洗衣服
好男人不会强求你成为上个世纪60年代的家庭主妇,让你为他洗衣服,叠衣服,还是一人一半。事实证明,两个人共同分担家务是一件好事。

帮他买送给朋友的礼物

2. Buy gifts and cards for other people on his behalf
We'll help when we're out with you, but no, we won't make a pit stop at Hallmark and Laura Ashley while we're shopping with the girls. Just because we're women doesn't mean we're automatically adept at figuring out your Aunt Martha's dress size. www.kekenet.com
帮他买送给朋友的礼物或卡片
虽然女人天生喜欢逛街,但是我们没义务知道你姑姑衣服的尺寸,帮她买。

让你一个人准备假期


3. Plan an entire vacation without his help
When we ask you whether you'd rather spend our anniversary in Cabo or Vermont, we want you to express an actual preference, not to say, "Whatever, I'm happy with what makes you happy." The same goes for the hotel, the airline, and the restaurant reservations. Letting us take the reins isn't considerate, it's just lazy and boring. Instead, make sure to divvy up the planning. We pick the location and hotel, you plan the activities. www.kekenet.com
让你一个人准备假期
当女人问你,“去哪个州度假好?”的时候,请不要敷衍地说“都可以”。订酒店和飞机都是这样。

给他做一个三明治

4. Make him a sandwich
The refrigerator is 10 feet away and your game control has a pause button, so get up, stretch, and slap that ham and lettuce together by yourself. We don't care if you're "in the zone," because apparently, you were out of it long enough to articulate your immediate need for a nibble. Maybe we'll consider it if you agree to break from the game for 20 minutes, put on some coffee, and enjoy your afternoon snack with us. www.kekenet.com
给他做一个三明治
冰箱就在你的边上,你的游戏软件上有暂停键,所以,男人,你就略微起来一下,伸下手就够着你的三明治了。

分手即告知天下

5. Change your relationship status on Facebook
We believe our life outside of the Internet should speak for itself. On the off-chance that we break up, wouldn't you rather tell your close friends in person, rather than have that ever-present broken heart appear on 500 people's newsfeeds? Well, we would, so don’t even ask us to include our relationship status on Facebook in the first place. www.kekenet.com
分手的时候,不会立马在网上改变自己的婚姻状况栏
我们知道,现实生活中,事情发生了就无法挽回了,但是你何必要在网上向所有人公布这个消息而让我难受呢?

当他的闹铃

6. Be his wake-up call
If we wanted a newborn, we'd just pierce the condom. Kidding! But really, buy an alarm clock. Remembering a man's nap and wakeup schedule should be an occasional favor, not an everyday obligation.www.kekenet.com
当他的闹铃
男人,去买一个闹钟吧,偶尔叫醒你们是我们的意愿,但我们不想成为闹钟。

照顾醉酒的朋友

7. Take care of his drunk friends
We'll help them hail cabs or drive them home, but our couch really shouldn't be a post-happy-hour crash pad. www.kekenet.com
照顾男人醉酒的朋友
我们无法帮你帮醉酒的朋友扶上计程车,或是把他们送回家,当然我们更不希望自己的沙发成为他们发酒疯的受害者。

与前任偷偷约会

8. Hang out with his ex
Some women like befriending the ex, and others just want to satisfy their curiosity about her, but don't pressure the ones who would rather keep a distance.www.kekenet.com
与前任偷偷约会
很多女人喜欢勾搭自己的前任,或者只是为了满足一种莫名的好奇心,但是不要强迫那些不想和你再有联系的人了。

只顾自己


9. Keep up with his favorite shows
How would you like it if we made you religiously watch Desperate Housewives? Instead, let's pick a show we both like and make sure we follow it together.www.kekenet.com
一心关注自己感兴趣的节目
如果女人让你和她一起看《绝望主妇》,你会怎么想呢?

让女人减肥

10. Lose weight
We'll tone up for health purposes and for ourselves, but if you're really concerned about the 5 lbs we gained over the holidays, don't flat-out complain that we're getting flabby. Instead, invite us to go biking with you or to take a yoga class together. Treat exercise as a fun activity we can do together instead of something that we should do just for you.www.kekenet.com
让女人减肥
我们常常会在假期中不小心体重上升,但是只要健康就好了,请不要总是抱怨。你可以和我一起骑自行车锻炼,或者去练瑜伽。

一定要女人留长发

11. Keep our hair long
Trust us, short hair is cute, fun, and just as feminine as back-length hair. Just look at Halle Berry, Audrey Tautou and Keira Knightley, circa 2005. It's not as if we're going to shave it off or sport one of Rihanna's hairstyles, but even if we did, we hope you'd find us just as attractive. www.kekenet.com
一定要女人留长发
短发也有短发的好处,简单,可爱,活泼,我们并不是要剃掉她,就算我们有一天想这样做了,请相信我们还是美丽的。
