A bit of advice for newly coupled guys, from the Dept. of Things Your Dad Didn't Tell You About Because He Had No Idea: Don't bring your laptop to bed.
That's the fairly "Duh!" conclusion of a Canadian columnist who finds spreadshseeting and YouTubing in bed a growing source of complaint from women. Among what should be fairly obvious reasons why this will get men in trouble:
- It signals you don't want to talk to your SO.
- It signals you're more interested in MySpace than her.
- It's perfect fodder for a "I guess your 17-inch widescreen display is sexier than I am" type of "discussion" that will end in unanticipated purchases of jewelry and lingerie.
"Taking a laptop into bed is an elaborate, mechanical defense," says psychotherapist Catherine Gildiner. "It's tragic that, for many couples, a place that used to be the forum for passion and intimacy has now become a computer room."
Take care of it now, guys, before you have to read "Women Are From Venus, Men Are From Round Rock, Texas."
