23 Men Confess The Craziest Things They Did For A Girl

Joined a fashion show on a boat that needed more guys and she really wanted me to come. Thought it would be great, hang with my crush, surrounded by models, what could go wrong? Well so did every guy in the city apparently. The boat wasn’t me and tons of models as I figured. It was me, 8 models and over 40 dudes on a boat that I couldn’t leave. For a few hours. My crush didn’t show up.

When I was 16 I was playing basketball with some friends when some girls showed up and took our ball and locked themselves in their car with it. We all mobbed around the car to “get the ball back” (flirt) and one of my friends jumped up on the trunk. I did the same thing only I ran onto the roof of the car not realizing there was a sunroof on top. Took one step on the sunroof and busted straight through it. Knocked my leg on the broken glass and had to go to the hospital to get 16 stiches and a skin graph. Texted one of the girls when I got out something along the lines of “didn’t mean to drop in on you earlier but I had to break down the walls somehow” looking back, totally worth not having half the nerve endings in my leg work.

I was at a summer camp in Maine. We were not allowed to make more than one phone call a week. I entered the manager’s office, said my sister was having a child, they promptly offered me the phone office, I dialled spoke for a minute broke a smile hung up burst into tears and shouted I’m an uncle! In the office everyone rejoiced, hugged me, gave me free M&Ms and shared the news with the camp over the speaker system on fourth of July. Of course, my sister didn’t have a baby, I don’t even have a sister, and I was just finding a way to call my girlfriend to say hi.

February 1990. My roommates & I bought the Mike Tyson – Buster Douglas fight on pay-per-view. We had tons of people over to watch Tyson destroy this guy no one ever heard of. Just as it was getting really exciting, my then-girlfriend yells at me from the bathroom. I go see what the fuck she wants, & she says she’s out of tampons & needs me to run to the store. The fight is really good & the round is about over. The convenience store is only a few hundred yards away, so I figured I could jump in my car, race to the store, buy the tampons, & get back in time to see the last round. So that’s what I did, & when I pulled up in the driveway I could hear everyone yelling inside my house. I ran in the door & looked at the TV… just as Mike Tyson was counted out. I missed the greatest upset knockout in boxing history because I had to go buy tampons.
