i agree.

boys should:

1. Stand up for a lady (this doesn’t just involve chairs)

2. Kill bugs

3. Hold doors open

4. Fix things or build stuff

5. Wear boots occasionally (Not the fancy, I-paid-$1,000-for-these kind. We’re talking about the slightly mud-crusted, I-could-have-just-come-in-from-the-field boots)

6. Take off your hat inside

7. Grill stuff

8. Call us (if you want to ask us out, don’t text and don’t email. Pick up the phone and use your voice)

9. Stand when we come back to the dinner

10. Pull out chairs

11. Don’t show up in a wrinkled, untucked shirt (Care about your appearance but not too much. Don’t smell better than we do. Don’t use mousse or gel. You shouldn’t look like you spend more time in front of the mirror than we do)

(i saw this awhile back on a blog i've been reading. i think she found it in a magazine or something...but i'm pretty sure the parenthetical comments are hers...)
