5 perks of Having a Boyfriend

So I was watching a video by WongFu Productions:

and well, here is my version of my 5 perks of having a boyfriend.

#1 He pays for everything.

But like what Rick says as above, it's not a perk it's an INJUSTICE.

...Fine. I'll play fair too.

REAL #1 He is your Knight in Shining Armour

...when you're bullied. Your Knight tackles them with brutal eloquence.

...when it comes to killing horrendous creepy crawlies (only God knows why those creatures were brought into existence).

...when you freak out when your tech gadget freezes, because you're technologically disabled - and he's not. He then patiently gives you a step-by-step, because...men like solutions.

#2 He calls you Beautiful all the time

Now the male species may not care if they are not reminded of their muscular, and chiselled looks everyday (I may be wrong), but as for the female species...it's a whole different story (I may be wrong too).

A little appreciation, even if it is dishonest at times does work wonders in making you feel less...crappy. With sticky green goo exiting your nose, it's hard to be called anything except...boogery.

Men, a little white lie goes a loooong way.

Instant affection.

#3 He buckles when you get Upset (mostly, when you Cry)

Women, this is our secret weapon.

Not in the mood to go alone to that event your friends are making you go to? State your reasons, and get a little tremble in your voice...

"Okay honey I'll follow you, I'll just skip that match. Don't be upset okay?"

Had a rough day at work, get home and find out there's a sink full of dirty dishes from last night and you have to make dinner?

The pressure can be too much, and you find yourself getting hot and bothered and finally...the tears start falling.

Relax. He's driven over and already got his Spanish Torero apron on, peeling potatoes for his very delicious Shepard's pie.

Not only that...he washes up with little or no complaints!

Woman on top? Definitely.

#4 He inspires you

A loving heart is the beginning of all knowledge - Thomas Carlyle

It's great to be with someone who inspires you; someone you admire. Be it his academic ability, his sporting ability, or his personal character - you can always learn something new from him.

Don't believe in yourself? Well, he does and encourages you every step of the way ensuring you don't doubt yourself again.

An amazing boyfriend isn't one who showers you with kisses and gifts, but is one who supports and motivates your passions.

With so much experience to share, the both of you can inspire each other to be the best person you (and he) can be.

#5 Romance

Everyone needs a little romance in their lives.

The little heart jumps when he's knocking on your door for your weekend dates, the rising colour in your cheeks when you catch him intensely looking at you, the smile he puts on your face when he surprises you with a hand-written poem he took all weekend to compose...

Sometimes, being silly brings out the romance in us too - as Rose Franken once said:

Anyone can be passionate, but it takes real lovers to be silly

***

Of course, having a boyfriend is also great for a whole lot of other stuff...

*clears throat*

Anyway. So ladies, what are YOUR perks of having a boyfriend?

And men, what are your perks of having a girlfriend? I've never had one, you see...
