"Nothing on TV does girly stuff quite as well as The Mindy Project. If I said this yesterday, you probably wouldn&amp;#x27;t fight me on it. But since I&amp;#x27;m saying it this morning, and we&amp;#x27;ve all watched Mindy cry her way through a post-breakup Chinese order (with Les Miz&amp;#x27;s &amp;quot;On My Own&amp;quot; blasting in the background), you scientifically can&amp;#x27;t fight me on it. That&amp;#x27;s all well and good, but let&amp;#x27;s say you share your household and television with a member of the male species. Sure, you&amp;#x27;ve had dibs on Tuesday-night TV privileges since New Girl launched. But lately, what with his DVR-ed ep of Marvel Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. winking at him from the saved programs, there&amp;#x27;s a chance your boyfriend or husband seems more invested than usual in getting remote control. The thing is, your significant other could be forgiven for thinking Mindy&amp;#x27;s just for girls, at first glance. But more than ever, there&amp;#x27;s secretly a lot here for male viewers. 1. Remind him: Adam Pally is on this show now. Chances are your guy enjoyed Happy Endings as much as you did and has secretly been missing Max. 2. Explain that, furthermore, Adam is sorta playing the worst guy from his college. Hey, male romantic partners of the world: Whether you have vague bad feelings toward frats, declined to join one because of a specific awful dude, or joined one and immediately met a brother that made you feel like this... ... You&amp;#x27;ll find giggling (laughing, sorry! You&amp;#x27;re men) at the bro-ish character Mindy has created for Adam totally cathartic. 3. If your guy&amp;#x27;s face has been blank since you said &amp;quot;Happy Endings&amp;quot; (after all, if more people watched, we&amp;#x27;d still have it around), switch gears and tell him that Dennis from Always Sunny (Glenn Howerton) is on too. Now watch his eyes light up. 4. You&amp;#x27;ve got him on the hook&amp;amp;#8212;backtrack and explain how much they&amp;#x27;ll love the show&amp;#x27;s central male hero, Danny Castellano. Danny Castellano is that guy who can bond with them over Springsteen, football, and hoagies. Counterintuitive as this may be, there are very few guy&amp;#x27;s guys on TV right now. (Guy&amp;#x27;s girls are a different story.) 5. And while you&amp;#x27;re talking original cast, give him a primer on Morgan Tookers&amp;#x27; inimitable humor, which knows no gender lines. Here you go. 6. At this point, it&amp;#x27;s OK to get a little cerebral and unveil the real hidden guy-gift of the show. Mindy writers write Mindy from a fully objective standpoint. They&amp;#x27;ve achieved the neat trick of making her extremely likable while still calling out some classic that-girl behavior. So if your boyfriend would love the chance to laugh, rather than grimace and get the dustpan, in reaction to that lovelorn ex who chugged wine/smashed the bottle, his ship has just come in. *Obviously, none of it will remind him of you, because you are a model of relationship aplomb. 7. If all else fails, show him the above sneak-peek pic of Mindy next week. This dress is the sartorial inverse of the sequined mini Danny negged in the show&amp;#x27;s pilot; it&amp;#x27;s made for the male eye. Dayum, Min. Is it me or can we actually see Danny concentrating on not looking at her boobs here? Do the guys in your life love Mindy too? For the record, my husband adores it. I&amp;#x27;m sure he wouldn&amp;#x27;t phrase it that way, but it&amp;#x27;s cool. Photo: FOX"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
