1. I don't want to talk about it. I want to figure it out.

2. When you ask me what's on my mind and I say "nothing," I really mean nothing.

3. I'd appreciate it if you left the bathroom door closed while you wee. Yes, we're comfortable around each other, but do we need to be that comfortable?

4. Brazilian wax. Me like.

5. I will deny this to the death in front of my friends, but I love it when you grab my hand while we're queuing at the movies.

6. I know when you're faking it.

7. I like it when other men check you out, but not the other way around.
Yes, this is a double standard.

8. Never utter the words "penis" and "cute" in the same sentence. Even if the penis in question is not mine.

9. I want kids, but I have no interest in not being the single most important thing in your life. Tell me: do you think this is going to be problematic?

10. I worry about our finances about 30 times a day - so there's no need to keep reminding me.

11. Don't expect me to sing along with you in the car. It's not, um, manly.


12. I like a girl who drinks beer out of the bottle.

13. I love the occasional "I WANT YOU" text message. Send me one - right now.

14. Would it kill you to wear something with pockets? I don't want to carry around your lipstick and wallet all night long.

15. I thoroughly enjoy watching large men stand in a ring and beat the tattoos off each other. Fighting with you? Not so keen on that.


16. A holiday with your parents is about as enjoyable for me as... never mind, you know this one already.

17. Can we please give our children normal names? Apple is not a name. It's a fruit.

18. If you allow me to be my endearingly odd, occasionally twisted self around you, I'll always be there.


19. It's really refreshing when you can laugh at yourself. It also means that you're not laughing at me.

20. Your bum looks fine in those jeans. And even if it didn't, you wouldn't hear it from me.

    20 truths... that I already knew! Number 14 is hilarious! I wish men could be more honest when we ask Number 20- its important to our self-esteem although we already know the answer!

    14 is false since, I always carry my own wallet and lipstick etc. But then again, I'm not your generic typical woman.

    I am fairly sure all the guys who 'aparently' like to watch kizmiazz2001 and other women pee would never admit it to anyone else. I am really interested in how you found this out? Was it like 'you can put the jug on or come and watch me pee' or were they doing 'I'll say anything to this chick right now' thing? Are you really sure they just into looking at you pee or is it something else they like looking at? Think about it...
