Where would we be without men in our lives, girls? Would we be happier, or miserable beyond belief? Why do we need them around when it seems all they do sometimes is take up space, and make a huge mess. We need men in our lives girls, so we have someone to cuddle with and someone to protect us against all things evil in life.

We need men to kill those huge bugs that appear out of nowhere on the wall. And we need them find out what that noise was in the middle of the night that we only can hear.

Considering that we need them to father our children, and we really do need them in our lives, it is up to us to tell them what we need them to know.

Here are ten things women wish men knew:

1.Women wish men knew how to pick up after themselves. In twenty years of marriage, my husband finally learned how to pick up after himself. I think it was when I told him if he didn't pick up after himself, he would have to sleep on the back deck.

2.Guys, just because we women are in a bad mood, don't mean we are "on the rag". Hormones play a large part in our emotional outbursts, but other things make us angry also, such as a bad day at work, or that the house is a mess.

3.Women wish that men knew by instinct how to clean the house. I'm not saying that every guy in the world doesn't know how to clean, because some men do know how, but why can't more men know how to clean? Guys, it's a proven fact that women are so turned on by seeing a man clean the house.

4.How to put the toilet seat down. I lived in a house with two men and they never put the seat down, and it's gross under there. My husband, (God bless his soul), listened to my complaints and taught our son at an early age to put the seat down.

5.Women would like men to be able to find stuff in the house without yelling for us when we are outside, or in the bathroom, or on the phone. We know you guys are strong, smart and terrific, so before yelling for us to come find it for you.

6. We need many different outfits, and lots of shoes. We need different clothes for work, than we wear for an evening out. And we need many different shoes for all the different outfits. Designers make a lot of women's clothing and we like to look good, and usually it's for you guys anyways.

7.Women wish men knew what they wanted for every special occasion. My husband asks me every year what I want for Christmas and my Birthday, and just once I wish he would pleasantly surprise me. He could buy something really meaningful that he selected for me that came from his heart. Even if it was flowers picked from the garden, I could care less, just as long as he thought of it on his own.

8.Not to make fun of our families, especially our Mothers. Okay, we act like our Mothers do, but not all the time. It's only a fight in the making by saying nasty stuff about our Mothers.

9.That we love to cuddle, and sometimes we use you for your warmth. Our feet for some strange reason seem to be cold, and because you are warm we put our cold feet on you in bed.

10.Guys, all we ask is that you know you should never tell us we are fat. Even if we have put on a few pounds we still love you when gain weight. Really we want you to tell us we always look thin and gorgeous in what ever we wear.

Men aren't mind readers, so tell them what you want. It's as simple as that, and it only takes about ten to twenty years before they actually start doing it!
