Ten dating habits promise to make guys more likeable — and none of them require a makeover.

TheThings Celebrity built its channel on quick-hit relationship countdowns, and “10 Things Guys Do That Girls Like” is a tidy example of the formula: ten behaviors, ranked and explained, aimed squarely at the young adult crowd trying to figure out what actually lands with a date. There’s no scandal attached to this one, no red carpet moment behind it — just a scripted breakdown of small, repeatable habits that the channel argues separate the guys who get a second date from the guys who don’t.

• The video is produced by TheThings Celebrity, a channel affiliated with TheTalko and Valnet that has run since roughly 2015 on countdown-style dating and relationship content.
• Its centerpiece advice is active listening — engaging without interrupting, judging, or jumping straight to unsolicited solutions.
• The list also stresses everyday chivalry (opening doors, basic manners) and open emotional and physical affection as core attraction points.

The Format Behind the List

This isn’t a one-off. TheThings Celebrity built out a whole shelf of companion videos on the same theme, including “10 Signs A Girl Likes You” and “10 Things Guys Don’t Realize About Girls.” The channel’s whole approach treats dating advice like sports analysis — break the behavior into discrete, numbered plays, explain why each one works, move to the next. It’s a format that travels well on YouTube because viewers can skip straight to the entry they care about.

What sets this particular countdown apart is its focus on the tension a lot of guys feel between two contradictory pieces of advice they’ve heard their whole lives: be confident, but don’t be arrogant. The video treats that as the central puzzle to solve, then spends its ten entries showing what confidence looks like when it’s done right instead of just telling viewers to “be more confident” and leaving them to guess.

Listening Comes Before Fixing

The behavior the video leans on hardest is active listening — not the passive nodding kind, but actually tracking what a partner says without cutting in, judging, or rushing to solve the problem before she’s finished describing it. That distinction matters because it’s the opposite of the instinct a lot of guys default to: hear a complaint, immediately offer a fix, move on. The video frames that reflex as counterproductive, arguing that women consistently respond better to a guy who just listens first.

Listen without interrupting, judging, or jumping straight to a fix — that’s the habit the whole list is built around.

It’s a small shift in behavior, but it’s the kind of thing that shows up in real conversations rather than grand gestures, which is consistent with how the rest of the countdown is built — small, repeatable habits over big one-time moves.

Manners as a Baseline, Not a Bonus

The video also spends real time on chivalry — opening doors, pulling out chairs, plain old politeness — treating those as table stakes rather than throwback gestures. That’s a familiar note across relationship content in this space; readers who’ve followed the ups and downs of celebrity pairings, like the timeline laid out in the truth about Jason Momoa’s relationship with Zoe Kravitz, will recognize the pattern: the small, consistent gestures tend to get more credit over time than the flashy ones.

Affection, Verbal and Physical

The countdown’s other major throughline is affection — expressed both in words and in physical touch — as the connective tissue that turns attraction into trust. The video treats this as inseparable from the earlier points; a guy who listens well and shows basic courtesy still needs to actually express warmth for any of it to register as more than politeness. It’s the same throughline that shows up across TheThings Celebrity’s other relationship content, including breakdowns like Megan Fox’s relationship history, where the pattern of who sticks around often comes down to exactly this kind of everyday emotional follow-through rather than any single grand gesture.

None of the ten entries is presented as a magic trick. The video’s own logic is that these are habits, not tactics — the kind of thing you either build into how you treat people or you don’t. For a channel that’s turned out dozens of these countdowns, “10 Things Guys Do That Girls Like” is one more entry in a series that keeps finding an audience precisely because it never promises more than small, doable adjustments.
