10 Things Guaranteed to Drive Your Man Crazy (and not in a bad way!)
Women hear it all the time: “You’re driving me crazy.” Usually, it refers to incidences when you ask him to please mow the lawn, or to please take his feet of the just-polished coffee table. But what if you could take the phrase and make it a good thing? That’s right, we’re talking “you drive me crazy” in a testosterone driven Megan Fox kind of way. Looking to spice up your relationship? Read on for ten things you may or may not know are guaranteed to drive your guy crazy in the best of ways.
1) Work out.
That’s right, sweating it out at the gym will turn your man on, and not just because it’ll give you washboard abs (because let’s face it, how many of us actually have washboard abs?). Studies show the smell of sweat to be a natural aphrodisiac – and to release pheromones triggering a natural response from the opposite (or the same) sex. The scent released when you sweat increases sexual arousal – even when you don’t know it! So hit the gym, and then hit the sheets.
2) Gain a few pounds.
No, we’re not kidding. While there are some men who prefer the waiflike model types, most men like their women to look natural and prefer when they’ve got some curves. While we’re not suggesting you pig out on a daily basis, we are saying it’s more than fine to have some ice cream when you’re craving it. Stop stressing and learn to love your body the way it is, because chances are your guy thinks you’re gorgeous already and can’t wait to take off your clothes.
3) Catch him off guard.
Grab his hand in a restaurant and place it on your lap under the table. Just the fact that you’re willing to be so daring in a public place will have him totally worked up.
4) Compliment him.
It’s as simple as that. You know how good you feel when he tells you that dress looks amazing? He feels just as good when you tell him he’s cooked the most incredible mac and cheese you’ve ever tasted.
5) Officially gift him the living room for Sunday night football.
E! or Oprah may be your holy grail, but ESPN is his. Promise not to bother him while the game is on and you might just get a little something back in return.
6) Cook for him.
The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. Forget the cookies and cupcakes and go for the gold with a full meal. He might never admit it, but being taken care of like that might just remind him of his mother and make him feel all warm and happy inside.
7) Talk dirty in bed.
Yes, you can do it. No one’s listening! It’s just the two of you, and it will make him over the moon with lust. Even telling him he’s turning you on will turn him on. You don’t have to be vulgar. Just say what you’re feeling (no, “Oh honey, I love you so much!” doesn’t count).
8 ) Buy him tickets to a game or concert instead of a new sweater.
He doesn’t need any more sweaters. They remind him of his grandmother, and that’s not an association you want, is it? Buy him tickets to see a big game with his friends, or better yet, go with him and show him how sexy you look rooting for his favorite team.
9) Wear sexy lingerie.
It’s the easiest way known to man (literally) to make your guy crazy. White lingerie looks devilishly angelic, while black and red are always a turn on, especially when you add a garter.
10) Chill out on the hair and makeup.
That’s right, go natural. Tone down on the straightening, the curling, and the lipstick. Just highlight your features with a bit of mascara and lip gloss and you’re not only approachable, you’re sexy. Best of all, you’re YOU.
Good luck ladies!
