This is a fantastic tip that really works well...
| Top Tip: |
When asking a man for help always remember to say "Would" and not "Could". I know that it sounds a little petty, but once you think about it and try it out it really makes a difference.
Saying "could" is like making a suggestion, "Could you go and fetch come Milk?", nine times out of ten a man will think, "yes, I could, but i don't really want to". He'll then think that your nagging him, not giving him a choice and implying that he should have thought about it himself. He's been backed into a corner, and men don't like that at all.
Simply by saying "Would you go and fetch come Milk?", you are simply asking for a favour, you give him a choice in the matter, and no "blame" is implied. This way nine times out of ten I think you'll find that he thinks, "Sure of course I can", he may even very well be happy that he can be helpful to you.

Its very simplistic I know, but I read this once and it really makes a difference. A tiny tip but it has managed to cut out quite a few petty arguments...
Let me know how it works out for any of you girls that try this one??

Enjoy.
