One evening last week, my girlfriend and I were getting into bed. 
Well, the passion starts to heat up, and she eventually says, "I don't 
feel 
like it, I just want you to hold me." 
I said, "WHAT??!! What was that?!" 
So she says the words that every boyfriend on the planet dreads to 
hear... 
"You're just not in touch with my emotional needs as a woman enough for 
me 
to satisfy your physical needs as a man." 
She responded to my puzzled look by saying, "Can't you just love me for 
who 
I am and not what I do for you in the bedroom?" 
Realizing that nothing was going to happen that night, I went to 
sleep. 
The very next day I opted to take the day off of work to spend time 
with 
her. We went out to a nice lunch and then went shopping at a big, big 
unnamed department store. I walked around with her while she tried on 
several different very expensive outfits. She couldn't decide which one 
to 
take, so I told her we'd just buy them all. She wanted new shoes to 
compliment her new clothes, so I said, "Lets get a pair for each 
outfit." 
We went on to the jewelry department where she picked out a pair of 
diamond 
earrings. Let me tell you... she was so excited. She must have thought I 
was 
one wave short of a shipwreck. I started to think she was testing me 
because 
she asked for a tennis bracelet when she doesn't even know how to play 
tennis. 
I think I threw her for a loop when I said, "That's fine, honey." She 
was 
almost nearing sexual satisfaction from all of the excitement. Smiling 
with 
excited anticipation, she finally said, "I think this is all dear, let's 
go 
to the cashier." 
I could hardly contain myself when I blurted out, "No honey, I don't 
feel 
like it." 
Her face just went completely blank as her jaw dropped with a baffled, 
"WHAT?" 
I then said, "Honey! I just want you to HOLD this stuff for a while. 
You're 
just not in touch with my financial needs as a man enough for me to 
satisfy 
your shopping needs as a woman." 
And just when she had this look like she was going to kill me, I added, 
"Why 
can't you just love me for who I am and not for the things I buy you?" 
Apparently I'm not having sex tonight either....but at least that 
she 
knows I'm smarter than her
