3. Knitting - They say a good way to break up with a bf is to knit something for him. I like knitting and used to really be into it. (I'm actually making a sweater I knitted, atm.) Who cares if a girl knits or not? I don't get this one. I wouldn't bother to knit for someone else except a baby. It's way too much work to make something someone may or may not like. And guys are just too big to knit for. Bleh. That sh** takes forever. Besides, knitting's almost like a stim - it's all about the sensation to me...soft tension, click, soft, click, etc. It's soothing and about nervous energy, to me.
I would figure there are more practical things to make than shirts, ie. comforters, matting for candles, etc.. I would see the trouble coming in if you handed a guy a shirt that looked like a comforter and you saw the panic in his eyes like "I can't offend her...I can't possibly wear this...I can't offend her...", if you happened to be a fashion designer and rather than knit you made him a shirt that other guys would even be complimenting him on - I think you'd be the ultimate keeper. Other than that though, yeah, body-doilies are as bad for a guy as they are for a dog, ie. don't do it.
