Nov. 12: 13 Tricks Every Man Should Know

Fellas, we all know there’s nothing better than finding someone to share your life with, but sometimes it’s hard to keep things spicy, even with the perfect partner. Time really does take a toll on romance, what with all the feigned interest and bullshit compromise, the deadening stability, the way she judges you with her eyes…here are 13 tricks that every man needs to know to keep his love feeling like an affair and not a monument to the inevitable decay of all biological matter.


While she’s sleeping, leave a bunch of open candy wrappers around her side of the bed. Then, bite your own arm hard enough to leave marks. When she wakes up, show her the wrappers and the bite marks and tell her she was binging in her sleep and that when you tried to stop her she attacked you like a wild animal.

Install an emergency eye wash station in your home. When she asks about it, tell her it’s part of a three-part anniversary present and that it’ll make sense when she sees all three parts.


Replace all the clothes in her closet with duplicates that are 2 sizes smaller, replace all her shoes with duplicates that are 2 sizes larger.


Sometimes, an element of danger is what you really need to rediscover your passion for one another. Try releasing a swarm of bees in the room before making love (especially effective if either of you are allergic).

Make a mix CD of all her favorite songs (make sure she sees you working on it) and give it to a woman you work with as a present.

Indulging in role-play might seem cheesy, but it really works! Pose as one of her ex-boyfriends on Facebook and begin a flirtation that becomes more and more intense until she hints that she’d like to get together in person to see if the chemistry transcends social media. Tell her to meet you somewhere really romantic, like a wharf. When she arrives and finds you waiting for her, she’ll owe you big time.

Come up with a ‘freebie’ list of celebrities you’d each be allowed to hook up with guilt free, given the opportunity. This is a great way to start a big fight, especially if you are characters in a sitcom.


Greet her at the door when she gets home from work wearing nothing but pots and pans.

Make sure she knows that she’s always your top priority, expect for when it comes to Sunday at 9pm. That time is set aside for Game of Thrones.

Surprise her by cooking her favorite meal. While she eats, giggle at each bite she takes but refuse to explain what you’re laughing at.

Learn to weaponize her secrets and disarm her by throwing things said in confidence back in her face to win arguments.


If your love life is feeling a little staid, trying mixing things up by ‘getting busy’ in an unlikely place. Show up at her office and make your amorous intent clear by stripping naked. If she resists, it’s probably because she’s cheating on you with one of her co-workers. Probably that guy Jeremy over there in the next cubicle. Remember how she was still laughing last night at dinner about something he said to her at lunch? And when you asked her what it was, she said it would take too long to explain? That sweater he’s wearing, isn’t that the same one she was trying to convince you to buy at the mall last week?


Every once in a while, stare at her face really hard and whisper, “You really can see it at this angle.” When she asks what you’re talking about, act embarrassed that she heard you and change the subject. If she insists, tell her you were just thinking about something her dad told you (this works especially well with the 75% of women who have issues with their father).
