Operation Ego-Buster! Show Mr. Know-It-All Who's Boss :

Sep 19, 2007

Men and their egos. They always have to be right. They always have to be on top of the situation (or at least appear to be). Mainly, they feel the need to project an absurd air of superiority and, in fact, near-invulnerablity -- the better to lord it over their wives or girlfriends. And I should know, because I’m one of them! But attend to my words, ladies, as I oh-so-cavalierly betray my gender for a few paltry bucks in order to clue you in on sneaky ways to surprise your man with your ingenuity and show him who’s really boss!

Learn to change a tire on your car – the right way.
If you’re driving around with your guy and you get a flat, just watch how eagerly he’ll leap from the car, secretly overjoyed by this opportunity to show off his manly tire-changing skills. The thing is, the vast majority of men absolutely WILL NOT check the owner’s manual before getting to work. And the proper method of changing a tire varies to a surprising degree between different makes of cars, particularly in regard to placing the jack correctly. Do it wrong, and you can put a hole in the undercarriage. So whenever Mr. Automotive-Know-It-All isn’t around, grab that manual and memorize the correct tire-changing method for your car. That way, when that flat inevitably occurs, you can hover over your man as he’s working and point out every mistake he makes. He probably won’t listen to you, but if he does end up damaging the car, at least there’ll be an upside – you can pull out the manual, turn it to the relevant page, shove it in his face and say, “I told you so!” Actually, there’s no reason to stop with tire-changing. Read and really get to know as much of the owner’s manual as possible. You’ll be ready to show up your S.O. whenever any sort of car trouble arrives.

Beat him at his own sport.
If your guy is the typical weekend warrior, then you have another opportunity to strike a blow for the female gender. For instance, let’s say he’s into driveway basketball. All you need to do is find a few hours during the week while he’s away. Cruise a few public basketball courts and observe the players. Look for a group that seems both friendly and talented. After watching them play for a while, tell one of them that you’re new to the game and ask for a few pointers. Here’s where you make the whole male ego thing work to your advantage, as of course these guys will jump -- or, in this case, jump shot -- at the opportunity to show off their basketball skills to an admiring lady. Get as much practice with these guys as you can for a few weeks. Then, next time Shaq is shooting a few hoops with his buddies, jump into the game and blow him away . You can apply this same strategy to golf, bowling, tennis – whatever sport your man is into.
