Overrated vs. Underrated

By: Monica

As we all know, the dating advice Yahoo! provides in the "Personal" column usually does not qualify as "top- notch". Yet, I read them anyway for the pure sake of entertainment. Today, however, was one of the few days I agreed with what some random person conjured up about what men like. So, here I am, sharing my entertainment of the day with you; courtesy of Yahoo! Personals.

"Dating 101: What Do Men Find Romantic?
Guys Reveal What's Overrated vs. What's Underrated

Overrated: Love letters

Underrated: Romantic texts

If a guy sits down to write you an actual love letter, he's doing it to impress you. If he sends you a text out of nowhere telling you he's thinking about you, he's doing it because he can't help himself.

Overrated: The smell of your perfume

Underrated: The smell of your hair

There's nothing wrong with the subtle application of the right perfume, but catching a whiff of that clean-yet-flowery girl-hair smell beats any fragrance.

Overrated: Humoring him by watching the game

Underrated: Doing your own thing while he watches the game

If you truly enjoy gorging on hot dogs while watching sports, that's great. But if you're doing it solely for his sake, there's no need to bother -- he knows that you're a girl. And he likes that.

Overrated: Ballroom-dancing lessons

Underrated: Surfing lessons

Most any guy would love being active and learning new things with you. But if he has to worry about his footwork and balance, he'd rather not have to be wearing shimmery shirts while doing it.

Overrated: Double dates

Underrated: Going to parties together

Double dates are often a little awkward. Seeing an entire party's worth of guys look jealous when he walks in with you is always totally awesome."
