THE GUYS

In lieu of the scheduled Question/Answer session, we decided to change things up and talk about something that's been on our minds lately…..The Gentle Reminder.

We'll continue our weekly Question/Answer next week. If you'd like to submit a serious or not so serious relationship question for THE GUYS to take a crack at, please leave us a comment or email us at: advice@theguysperspective.com (We always change the names for anonymity.) Your question could be about dating, marriage, kids, or even a general question for THE GUYS about guys. So please don't be shy!!

Now to our topic!

The Gentle Reminder

We receive Gentle Reminders in our electronic mailboxes all the time. They come for a variety of reasons; reminding us about a social event, a school activity, a game, a doctor's appointment, you name it! They are very friendly and cordial and seemingly innocuous. But are they really?

And so what is a Gentle Reminder?

Here's what we know:

1. They are never the first reminder. Bulletins, Posts, Memos, Save the Dates, Syllabi and Schedules carry that distinction.

2. They come anywhere from a week to a day before the actual date or cut off point for the event or sign up.

3. They are usually quick summaries often urging us to read an earlier correspondence.

4. They encourage us to take action.

5. They are written very politely.

An Example:

Hi Guys,
This is a Gentle Reminder that the last day to sign up for the Sewing Circle is tomorrow. Please feel free to use the attached form and fax it to us. Or you can call us at: (phone number) to sign up.

Please see previous email for more details concerning the Sewing Circle, including contact info for facilitator, "James B." He will be able to answer any specific questions you might have.

We hope to see all of you next week, so don't forget to sign up by tomorrow.

Thanks so much.
Yours,
Sewing Circle Clubs of America

OK, seemingly innocuous. Friendly, right? So, what's the problem?

The problem is they are anything but friendly. That cheerful tone is often hiding weeks, maybe months of pent up frustration, anger and resentment. So why don't they just come out and say it?

What they really want to say:

GUYS,
We already sent you five emails! What's your problem? What, you're too lazy to get off your butt and sign up? It's not like we're solicitors. YOU inquired. YOU asked us to send you literature and registration information and now you don't even have the courtesy to follow through? We're sick of chasing your rude ass around. In fact we don't even want you in our Sewing Circle Club, but since we still desperately need the money we're swallowing our pride and sending you one last note. Our real hope is that you pay us but don't ever show. That way we won't be tempted to slap you silly when we see you.

TOMORROW'S THE LAST DAY!!

And if you forgot already, which is quite possible. 

TOMORROW'S THE LAST DAY!!

Use the attached form and fax it to us. And if you can't handle that, just call "James B." and he'll deal with you.

Oh, and have a nice day.

The Sewing Circle Clubs of America

Sure, that might not be as pleasant, but at least it's honest right? Which is something we all need to be more often, don't you think?

We know most people in the "Community" work long and hard to make their Blogs interesting and attractive so people will come and join their conversations.

So to stick with this theme, here's our Gentle Reminder about tomorrow's extra special post on "The Kiss."

Dear Friends,
Tomorrow's post is going to kick butt! It's all about "The Kiss." And who doesn't like talking about that? So come read it!!

We'll be joined by some very talented people from the Blogging Community, who will also be giving their own take on "The Kiss." We're honored to have them.

So save the date, mark your calendars, use post it notes, do whatever it takes to remind yourself to come tomorrow.

And of course, don't just come and read, but leave us a comment. We may even include your comment in a follow up post next week.

And of course, thanks for reading!

THE GUYS

ps. That was pleasant enough wasn't it? See ya tomorrow!!

THANKS,

THE GUYS

Please tell us what, or whom, you're checking out this weekend. Or avoiding!

Things to check out this Weekend (Maybe you'll spot one of THE GUYS)

"War Tapes" our new favorite band will be at the Paradise tonight.
These kids are talented. If you're looking for a hard driving, doom pop experience check them out. The vocal interplay between brother, Neil and sister, Becca is particularly beautiful. Look for us, we'll be the ones in skinny pants and eyeliner. Oh, sorry, we mean khakis and a polo.(www.wartapesband.com)

The Ballpark
Yes, we mean baseball. We've got nothing more to say. It's fun.

The Beach.
Anytime we can take in the sun, the sand, the ocean and the scenery we do it. And we prefer Bocci over Volleyball. It's hard to hold a cold one while spiking the ball in your buddy's face.

Your Kids.
If you work all week, why are you out playing golf on the weekend without your family? Get your butt up and go for a bike ride, or play tennis, basketball, or something with your kids. Otherwise you're just a donor. 

Things to Avoid

Forgetting the sun screen.

Sure tans look great, but the days of baking in baby oil are over. And honestly, full body freckles aren't that cute.

Ruining your neighbor's beer.

We were at the
ballpark the other day, and the annoying lemonade guy threw the change
at us. NO, we're not cheap! Don't you think $4.25 is enough for a
lemonade? Of course we wish we had let him keep it. One of the quarters
plopped right into the woman's beer who was sitting next to us. It
wasn't our fault though. Really! First she felt bad about our quarter.
But when it dawned on her that she couldn't drink her beer anymore….Can we say….AWKWARD!! 

Rushing. 

Just let the guy go in front of you. Obviously he is more important than you anyway. But who cares.
He'll be dead by 44. And you'll be cruising happily into retirement.

ENJOY!

THE GUYS

What you missed this week if you were actually working!

The Guy's Horizon: The Future of Friends

HOT or NOT?

Question/Answer

Relationship Humor

Enjoy!

We wanted to wait until all the guesses were in. Most of you were right on. Our guest Blogger wrote about "Patrick Swayze" and "Jon and Kate."

Most of you guessed Mr. Swayze because you didn't think THE GUYS would talk about him. Are you kidding!? We loved "Dirty Dancing" just like all the rest of you. And we've been a fan ever since.

Our best wishes go out to him and his family.

As for Jon and Kate. Well enough said.

Tomorrow we’ll be critiquing:

Customer Service, Toys for Men, Toys for Women, Katy Perry,
Crosswalks, Chelsea Handler, Bike Pants and MORE!

See what rating we give each: HOT! or NOT!!!

Read Below for the question of the day!

We are now linked to Facebook!

See you tomorrow!

THE GUYS

One of our guys stepped it up and finished our website, so we'll be posting our first dating question, TOMORROW, Thursday, June 25th.

Our first dating question will be posted this coming Monday, June 29th.
Come back and read all about Kate's car ride and what happens when the unthinkable happens!
