Good & Healthy Relationship Advice & Tips

1. How much sex you have. Men will never stop bragging about this. Go to an old folks home and listen in on the elderly bros playing Pinochle in the corner. They'll still be bragging about having a great sex life.

2. How chill you are. Guys take pride in you being "not like other girls" and being totally chill and down to earth and not caring if he goes out and has a guys' night.You don't have to be chill, and you certainly don't have to fake it; guys just like to brag about it.

3. Your date nights. Do you guys have great date nights? Are you crushing it in the date department? Do you count go-karting as a date? Your boyfriend brags about that.

4. How you're doing at work. Of course he's proud of your accomplishments. Maybe he tells everyone about how cool your job is and all the perks it comes with. Or he just thinks your title is impressive. Maybe he even carries one of your cards around in his wallet.

5. Any cool "guy" stuff you're into. All right, it might not be fair to label it "guy" stuff, but your boyfriend loves boasting about all the shared hobbies you have. If he can take you to a Giants game or spend a night playing video games together, that's worth bragging about.

9. Your awesome life skills. Are you a badass chef? Can you carve a chair out of an old oak tree? Those things are amazing and your boyfriend knows it ... so does everyone else within earshot.

10. Your psychic connection. Can you look at each other and communicate complex thoughts like,Let's get out of here, or, You know what, I changed my mind ... order me a slice of pizza too? Not everyone has that, and it's something your boyfriend is definitely proud of.
