I stumbled on these words of wisdom. This has been translated from Finnish and, as I am no professional translator, the native english speakers probably find some translations a bit funny. However, you should get the idea...
It's not hard to make a woman happy. You'll only have to be...
1. A friend
2. A companion
3. A lover
4. A brother
5. A father
6. A teacher
7. An educator
8. A confessor
10. A cook
11. A mechanic
12. An assembler
13. An electrician
14. A Chauffeur
15. A Porter
16. A Cleaner
17. A butler
18. A hydraulics mechanic
19. A carpenter
20. A model
21. An interior decorator
22. A sexologist
23. A psychologist
24. A psychiatrist
25. A psychotherapist
Traits are also important. You'll only have to be
1. Pleasant
2. Athletic but
3. Intelligent but
4. strong
5. well-mannered but
6. firm but
7. gentle
8. sensitive but
9. determined but
10. romantic but
11. masculine
12. funny and
13. happy but
14. serious and
15. dignified
16. brave but
17. a teddybear but
18. energetic
19. attentive
20. creative
21. full of ideas
22. skillful but
23. modest and
24. understanding
25. elegant but
26. logical
27. warm but
28. cool but
29. passionate
30. tolerant but
31. principled but
32. honorable and
33. noble but
34. practical and
35. pragmatic
36. just but
37. ready to do anything for her (like a bank robbery, for example).
In other words:
38. desperate (out of love for her) but
39. calm
40. charming but
41. steady and
42. faithful
43. attentive but
44. dreamy but
45. ambitious
46. trustworthy and
47. honored
48. ready for sacrifices and, before all
49. have much money
At the same time a man has to be careful
a) not to be jealous but still interested
b) to be on good terms with his family but not give them as much time as to her
c) to give her freedom but also to show that he cares and be interested in where she has been and what she has done
d) to dress elegantly but be ready to carry her on his knees through mud and to go in through the balcony if she has forgotten her keys
or to catch and mug a thief who has stolen her bag which contained such vital things as a mirror and a lipstick.
It is important not to forget
1. her birthday
2. her name day
3. The anniversary
4. the anniversary of your first kiss
5. her period
6. her appointment with a dentist
7. all her other anniversaries
8. the birthday of her best friend and her favourite aunt
Unfortunately even the perfect abiding by the previous rules won't guarantee a success. A woman might tire of the ideal
man, feel dominated by him and run away with the first guitar player she meets.
And now the other side of the coin. It is much harder to make a man happy. This is because a man needs:
1. sex and
2. food.
Most women feel these grandiose demands of men to be tyrannical. To satisfy these needs would go beyond their strength.
Conclusion: A harmonious relationship is easy to achieve when men finally give up their unreasonable demands.

My theory, anyway.
