Allison Baxley / 29, New York, NY
I've been with my husband for 12.5 years, so I have a lot of advice to give to the male gender.

Mojito
Her answer: As much as he needs to keep up with me
I like to stay in shape and working out together is always a plus.
Her answer: Let's go jogging together!
I love company on my runs, just as long as they don't show me up!
Her answer: Tattoos are sexy; just make sure they're good
Think David Beckham.
Her answer: Always a good look
It means a lot when my guy cooks for me, especially since it's not that often.
Her answer: A big, hearty steak
But eat like a human being, please.
Her answer: Plays it cool, but is clear about his interest
Wishy washy is the worst.
Her answer: Cool-headed
Nobody likes someone who flies off the handle at every little thing.
Her answer: Taking in the beauty of the world, me included.
I don't need all the attention, but some.
Her answer: Creepy.
It depends. If it seems romantic, do it. If you’re still shaking hands after a date, no way.
Her answer: Yes.
Why not? Why be alone if you don’t have to.
Her answer: Yes.
Always.
Her answer: Never.
Get her something she'll find useful. It'll show that you really thought about what you were buying.
Her answer: No.
Not even a little bit.
Her answer: Yup.
If she looks like she's interested, go for it. But if not, leave her alone.
Her answer: Yes.
Even if she says she doesn't care, giving her a gift shows that you do care.
Her answer: Cool.
That stuff is expensive. No booby tassels or anything, but something classy can make girl feel sexy.
Her answer: Creepy.
If it seems romantic and appropriate, do it. If you're still shaking hands after a date, no way.
Her answer: Yes.
Why not? Why be alone if you don't have to.
Her answer: Big party
I typically don't go out too often, but this night is a big exception.
Her answer: The thought.
But you should get us something we can use. A handmade card only goes so far before you look cheap.
Her answer: Why not?
One kiss won't hurt anyone. Find a cutie and go for it.
Her answer: No, thanks
If she asks, then go. She probably wants to show you off. But don't force it.
Her answer: Overdress
It's New Year's Eve. Go all out. You'll stick out more if you don't.
Her answer: Immediately after dating
Something small like baked goods to start. As time goes by, the gifts should get more sincere.
Her answer: Same
Obey the parents, but there's nothing wrong with waking up early to go to your 'separate' bed.
Her answer: little too small?
This one's tricky. If possible, go with a medium, but otherwise tread lightly.
Her answer: Cute
For a quick peck, but nothing more.
Her answer: Eggnog
The creamier, the better!
Her answer: Over
Unless you have a cat.
Her answer: Once a week
But that doesn't make it okay.
Her answer: Silliness
Guys need their guy friends the same way girls need their girlfriends.
Her answer: 2 days
Unless there is a specific reason they need to be changed.
Her answer: Never. It’s guy code.
Unless you receive express consent from your buddy, and even then, wait a while. A long while.
Her answer: If you love your girl, tell her.
You telling your girlfriend a juicy secret reassures her that she's the most important in your life
Her answer: Never, ever show up to dinner without cash.
Especially in NYC.
Her answer: Unnecessary
No real opinion.
Her answer: Hilarious
Nuff said.
Her answer: Anything at all
I love English literature, but that doesn't mean everyone has to.
Her answer: Yep
He's super smart.
Her answer: Cooler
But only if you're really good.
Her answer: A good way to have lots of great stories
Every adventure is different, so there are always great stories to tell.
Her answer: No
I love to travel and hear about other people's travels.
Her answer: Better be fully stocked
I'm a foodie, and I like to cook, so if your fridge is stocked, I may just make you a treat.
Her answer: 1st
Kissing, hugging and being affectionate is fine...excessive PDA is tacky.
Her answer: Never
Just plain rude.
Her answer: You do.
Chivalry is still appreciated by most women.
Her answer: Offer to take them out for dinner post-honeymoon.
A nice dinner.
Her answer: A night on the town.
You can't buy a wing man.
Her answer: Water and pain relievers
Wake up a couple hours before you have to, take tylenol & drink water, then go back to bed.
Her answer: 2 good
Depends on the prices, really.
Her answer: Yes. But they’re just using you.
Most of the time.
Her answer: Club soda, stat!
If that doesn't work, pretend like you didn't know you had a stain when you got dressed.
Her answer: True
Beer before liquor, never been sicker.
Her answer: No, why have the extra baggage?
As long as you check mine with it.
Her answer: Liquor, straight up
Very manly.
Her answer: Liquor, straight up
Very manly.
Her answer: Not really
It's all relative.
Her answer: No
Titles are for egomaniacs.
Her answer: Don’t care
He should be supporting the lifestyle he chooses to have.
Her answer: Yes, it’s a must.
People fight for people they like and drinks are a great way to get them to enjoy your company.
Her answer: Put together a list of your recent accomplishments.
Show how you've contributed in a positive way so they can see on paper how you've added value.
Her answer: Get over it! It’s a necessary evil. Talk to people.
The great thing about networking events is that you already have a lot in common with the people.
Her answer: Get over it! It’s a necessary evil. Talk to people.
The great thing about networking events is that you already have a lot in common with the people.
Her answer: Overdress
Underdressing too much makes it look like you don't care.
Her answer: Every time
A little scruff is good, solo mustache is not good.
Her answer: Stupid
Not my cup of tea.
Her answer: In
Not too skinny though.
Her answer: Who cares?
As long as they're not white, we're in business.
Her answer: Who cares?
As long as they're not white, we're in business.
Her answer: In
They elongate the legs.
Her answer: It’s an absolute must
Doesn't have to be my style, but there needs to be some style.
Her answer: Phone
In person can be intimidating, so ease some of the pressure by taking away the face to face aspect.
Her answer: Yep!
It really depends on how involved in his life she is, but I can deal.
Her answer: Romantic
No creepy staring, but the cute girl who's always in front of you at Starbucks is fine.
Her answer: Maybe?
I think it's totally plausible to feel a spark when you meet the love of your life.
Her answer: Smart
But not in an annoyingly 'I'm smarter than you' way.
Her answer: Taller than me
Just my preference. I know several couples who don't meet this standard.
Her answer: Not a problem
It's all about the total package.
Her answer: Immediately
Nobody likes waiting to hear back, so if you like her, call.
Her answer: Two
Only if you're both feeling it.
Her answer: No way. I'd know and that's all that matters.
Not ok.
Her answer: Absolutely. You've got to show some respect.
If it was serious enough to require a break-up, then it needs to be done in person.
Her answer: Leave the company ink alone.
This can only lead to trouble.
Her answer: 50s
I would say less that men start losing their looks and more that they start showing their age.
Her answer: Yes
But it's not for everyone.
Her answer: Nope
I've never needed to, yet.
Her answer: All the time
What's wrong with that?
Her answer: Feeling close to their partner
This is how it should be, but it doesn't mean that's the way it always is.
Her answer: Probably not
And if they did, they certainly wouldn't tell anyone.
Her answer: Guys can never be satisfied.
It's always something.
Her answer: There's never a time when he should
It's always a nice gesture, but it shouldn't be a deal breaker.
Her answer: A six pack of beer
Three for him, and three for me.
Her answer: Arms
Sculpted arms make my heart melt.
Her answer: Of course
They're not robots. And if they refuse to cry, something's not right.
Her answer: The opportunity to advance
Growth is what will allow you to get further faster.
Her answer: Family
If he has the other 3 things and keep his family happy, healthy and stable he is doing pretty well.
Her answer: Daily
The close ones need to know what's going on with me and I want to know the same with them.
Her answer: Guys love breasts. Even plastic ones.
Classy and tasteful will always beat out oversized and overly fake looking.
Her answer: I'm cutting back on shopping.
But I still splurge every once in a while.
Her answer: All of the above
Depends on what my mood is.
Her answer: An outdoor rooftop with a beautiful view
There's nothing like a rooftop in the summer time.
Her answer: An outdoor rooftop with a beautiful view
Again, depends on my mood, but generally I like to mix it up.
Her answer: I don't really care, as long as he brings back two
Some people know what they like.
Her answer: I can twist off a cap or pop a top.
I can do fancy, but I tend to want to relax with a glass of wine or a beer.
Her answer: Only go when your friend is working
Otherwise, wait patiently and look friendly.
Her answer: Lame
Show off.
Her answer: Watermelon
With mixed drinks I tend to lean on the fruity side.
Her answer: Mojito
Yum!
Her answer: Buzz off - I'm already in a relationship
Happily married.
Her answer: I love it!
When it's right, it just feels right.
Her answer: Very important
Laughing together is so much fun!
Her answer: Somewhat important
Being able to challenge each other and debate is a core communication essential.
Her answer: No
Way too shy.
Her answer: Yes. Knowledge is power!
No creepers please.
Her answer: Yes, but only if they were obese.
I take care of myself and I want a partner who does the same.
Her answer: No way!
But I'd be happy to tag along.
Her answer: Nothing to talk about
Boredom kills.
Her answer: Actions: Do something nice (like a date or errand)
I love taking care of people.
Her answer: No
We've been together long enough that no ex is that important.
Her answer: No.
Not my thing.
Her answer: Important-ish
I mean, I don't want them to stink but they don't always have to smell like roses.
Her answer: Yes
Currently.
Her answer: Yes
When you've been together for long enough, those things seem just as important and other things.
Her answer: Yes, but only with my friend's permission
Sometimes that person meets your friend before he meets you.
Her answer: No
Unacceptable.
Her answer: Normal
Although it's not something I think about regularly.
Her answer: Admirable and desirable – chivalry's not dead.
It's sweet and shows he's trying to be a gentleman.
Her answer: Logical/mathematical
To offset my right-brained tendencies.
