One Man's Fantasy...

It’s been said that the way to a man’s heart is in the kitchen. Well I have news for you ladies, while your cook game needs to be strong, the quickest way to tap into a man’s emotions is by catering to his biggest and strongest obsession: Fantasy Football.

I know you’re sick of hearing about it. I’m sure you’re tired of the mock drafts, cheat sheets all over the bedroom, fantasy magazines next to the toilet (not the kind you’re used to) and the endless babbling about players you’ve never heard of.  Here’s what you need to understand ladies.. Fantasy Football is the ultimate battle of ego for men.  It combines intelligence with pure competition through a sport of brute force.  Week by week your man puts massive amounts of time and energy into his team.  Now it’s very easy to fall into the “jealousy” trap like most women.  Granted, it’s understandable.  You wish your man would put that same amount of effort and energy in you.. or the kids.. or chores around the house.  Unfortunately, that type of thinking won’t get you anywhere…

Use Fantasy Football to your advantage!  Know your man’s team inside and out!  Don’t get this confused.. he does not, by any means, WANT you to play Fantasy Football.  That’s his sanctuary, just like getting a pedicure is your safe haven.  Ask him who he drafted and regardless of whether or not you know the players, make him feel good about his team.  On Sunday’s, give him a little morning pre-game action to get his day started.  When he’s watching the games with his boys, stay in tune with a couple of his players.  It’s extremely vital that you know how his team’s doing BEFORE he comes home.  If his team had a rough day, sympathize with him…

“Hey honey, Jamaal Charles just couldn't get it going huh?.. How’s the rest of your team looking?”

A fantasy loss equates to him winning in the bedroom.  There’s only one type of sex better than “make-up” sex, and that’s “I just got my ass whooped in fantasy sex”… Losing in Fantasy Football can be debilitating.  Give him the opportunity to let out some of that built up aggression.  You’ll both walk away winners by the end of the night!

Victory! Victory! Victory!  It’s a must that you know when your man had a big day in Fantasy Football! The minute he walks in, stroke that ego! Let him know he’s a genius for starting Peyton Manning over Ryan Tannehill (duh)!  This is an event! Be spontaneous! Make it a night you both won’t forget!

These are simple steps to making your home a happy home during football season.  Remember, this is his moment.. his time.. use it to your advantage!
