How to get the attention of a man during a football game
Football games and other sports is a man's quality time with his television. Sam's love for sports has taken his attention away from his wife for the second time this week, the first time was spent watching the world series as he and his pals sat on the couch cheering at their favorite team hit a home run as the pretzels and peanuts go flying to the floor, giving his wife something to vacuum later.
The second time his attentions was focus on Watching Sundays football game, while his wife was preparing dinner. Other than his wife hitting him over the head with a skillet, she begged him to set the table and her words went unheard, he was too in tuned to his game, that he didn't hear her. However, when his best friend John called, when there was a touchdown, his wife could hear him sharing that moment with his friend.
How this wife could get her husbands attention from his game is first by having a talk with him about it, let him know that you need his undivided attention no matter what game is on television. let him know there could be something important happening where she needs his attention.
She can also not cook dinner, get in her car and go over to a friends or relatives house until the game is over, of course letting him know where she'll be for a while and after the game when he's expecting a nice steak and potato dinner, the wife will not be there, and he will remember that the next time there's a game coming on, He'll know that it's not the New York Giants that will see to it that he has dinner. However, his wife will.
A wife should know her husbands game schedules and when his pals will be over, instead of her staying around playing waitress, serving beer, chips and dip. She should be spending her time out in the mall with her pals or at a movie, or curl up with a good book, ignoring the cavemen yelling for her to bring in some more beers.
Here is a good way for a woman to get her husbands attention away from the game, dress up in a nice sexy gown or outfit. Light some candles and put on some romantic music in the back drop of his game and start to make sexual advances towards him. If you and your husband haven't been intimate in a while, he will be sure to turn off his game quickly and if his pals are there, he'll throw them out before they can say, bye.
Now a woman should not do this as a method to control her husband or boyfriend, keeping him from enjoying their favorite sports. She should only do this when she wants quality time with her husband or boyfriend that she's been deprived of because of these games. If you have a loving husband or boyfriend he'll understand and start putting his games second to you.
