Rules from Men
|
We always hear "the rules" from the female side. Now here
are "the rules" from the male side. Please note: these are all
numbered "1" ON PURPOSE!
# 1. Learn to work the toilet seat. You're a big girl. If it's up,
put it down. We need it up, you need it down. You don't hear us complaining
about you leaving it down.
# 1. Sometimes we are not thinking about you. Live with it.
# 1. Sunday = sports. It's like the full moon or the changing of
the tides. Let it be.
# 1. Shopping is NOT a sport. And no, we are never going to think
of it that way.
# 1. Crying is blackmail.
# 1. Ask for what you want. Let us be clear on this one: Subtle hints
do not work! Strong hints do not work!
Obvious hints do not work! Just say it! We'll get it for you, but just LET US
KNOW WHAT YOU WANT!!!
# 1. We don't remember dates. Mark birthdays and anniversaries on
the calendar. Remind us frequently beforehand.
# 1. Most guys own three pairs of shoes. What makes you think we'd
be any good at choosing which pair, out of thirty, would look good with your
dress?
# 1. Yes, and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every
question. Please pick one.
# 1. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it.
That's what we do. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.
# 1. A headache that lasts for seventeen months is a problem. See a
doctor.
# 1. Let us know about that funny noise in your car engine as soon
as you hear it.
# 1. Anything we said six months ago is inadmissible in an
argument. In fact, all comments become null and void after seven days.
# 1. If you think you're fat, you probably are. Don't ask us. We
refuse to answer, but still love you.
# 1. If something we said can be interpreted two ways, and one of
the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one.
# 1. Whenever possible, please say whatever you have to say during
commercials.
# 1. Christopher Columbus did not need directions, and neither do
we.
# 1. The relationship is never going to be like it was the first
two months we were going out. Get over it. And quit whining to your
girlfriends.
# 1. ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings. Peach,
for example, is a fruit, not a colour. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea
what Mauve is.
# 1. If it itches, it will be scratched. We do that.
# 1. We are not mind readers and we never will be. Our lack of
mind-reading ability is not proof of how little we care about you.
#1. If we ask what is wrong and you say "nothing," we
will act like nothing's wrong. We know you are lying, but it is just not worth
the hassle.
# 1. If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, expect an
answer you don't want to hear.
# 1. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is
fine. Really, you look fine!!!
# 1. It is neither in your best interest or ours to take the quiz
together. No, it doesn't matter which quiz.
# 1. NASCAR is as exciting for us as handbags are for
you.
# 1. I AM in shape. ROUND is a shape.
#1. BEER is as exciting for us as handbags are for you.
Thank you for reading this. Yes, I know, I have to sleep on the
couch tonight, but did you know we really don't mind that. It's like camping!
There is no need to pass this on, but if you do it will bring
greater understanding to men and women everywhere. It is not going to bring bad
luck if you do not forward it, but what will you and your girlfriends talk
about today if you don't send it to them?
