My theory on what women want can be summed up in two words: romance novel. Not necessarily for the hero's bulging biceps and rogue tendencies, but for all he doesn't say. By and large these stories are written by women for women. Where else can men get a comprehensive study like that--Men's Health? Yeah, right. Way off. Way.
So, we collectively offer up ten heady doses of reality, ones that chase away any notion of fantasy. I'll start.Ten Things A Romance Novel Hero Would Never Say:
1. "I'm taking the Browns to the Superbowl." And he isn't talking football.
Who's next?

Man, L.A., I've been wracking my brain for a really good one, but I'm coming up blank.

"Not tonight, honey, I have a headache."
"Honey, did you pack the Viagra?" LOL
3. Cramps, Shmamps. I've fought an entire brigade of blood-thirsty soldiers with a lance in my thigh!
"Does it look strange when I do this?"
Haha! Not tonight dear is the one I was going to list. But I see that must be a favorite.
Actually, could be quite noble of a guy to turn down a lady under the right, wrong circumstances. ;)
So the thing I think a romantic hero would never say: "Yes, it was fun, but your sister is much more bendy."
These are great :) How about:
6. "My stallion is not accustomed to carrying such weight."
OMG -- these are laugh out loud funny.
How about: do the pants make my butt look big?
"You're wearing that?"
or, for the historical fans...
"Taste this meat. Has it spoiled?"
This was fun--thanks! And I loved that cover!
"Honey, you look a little dumpy in that sweater..."
Or
"After you finish cooking dinner and doing the dishes, will you iron my clothes so I have something to wear tomorrow? It's been a week..."
We ended with 11! Such witty readers to have on board. Thanks, everyone, for participating :)
