Just some fun: Rules about Men

We always hear "the rules"From the female side. Now here are the rules from the male side. These are our rules! Please note.. these are all numbered "1" ON PURPOSE!

1. Men ARE not mind readers.

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. 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!

1. Yes and No are perfectly Acceptable answers to almost every question.

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 17 months is a problem See a doctor.

1. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. In fact, all comments become null and void after 7 Days.

1. If you won't dress like the Victoria's Secret girls, don't Expect us to act like soap opera guys.

1. If you think you're fat, you probably are. Don't ask us!

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. You can either ask us to do something Or tell us how you want it done. Not both. If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself.

1. Whenever possible, Please say whatever you have to say during commercials

1. Christopher Columbus did NOT need directions and neither do we.

1. ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings. Peach, for example, is a fruit, not! A color. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is.

1. If it itches, it will Be scratched. We do that.

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.

1. Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as baseball, the shotgun formation, or golf.

1 You have enough clothes.

1. You have too many shoes.

1. I am in shape. Round IS a shape!

1. Thank you for reading this. Yes, I know, I have to sleep on the couch tonight; But did you know men really don't mind that? It's like camping.

I completely agree with #1.
Though #1 and #1 and maybe #1 I don't fully agree with, but I'm a pussy. Smiling

I think #1, about scratching is great for this time of year, when you have 'velcro days' and you need to do some adjustments.

-----------------------
I'll get back to you when I think of something worthwhile to say.

Wow, alot of that I don't agree with at all, but it's still funny as hell. Steriotypes usually are. Laughing out loud

"We are not mind

"We are not mind readers".

Yep, both my mother and my x-wife always pulled, "You are just supposed to know".

WHAT IS UP WITH THAT! That makes me want to pull my hair out.

BTW sunday sports, yep. When I am tourturing myself watching the Skins lose, the last thing you want to do disturb me.

Awwww...this is

Awwww...this is adorable!!  Kinda like watching a toddler walk around with a Burger King crown on his head and claiming he is king of the world - cute, but not real effective.  Now, go back to the sandbox that you have all peed in and let us get some work done. 

(Just kidding - this is a funny list.  But it changes nothing - LOL)

True. We need to start taking men's limited thinking abilitiy into account.

Columbus didnt need directions? He was aiming for India and went to America. Thats thousends of miles in the wrong direction, if there ever was a man in need of directions it was Columbus.

He still arrived at a destination, correct?  The fact that the destination that is arrived at is different than the one you are aiming for is completly immaterial. 

Personally, I never get lost.  I have 'adventures'.

I'm curious why there is no

I'm curious why there is no rule about men thinking that passing gas is so funny.

Guess what:  No, it's not funny.

Sorry, Susan, it is.  Unfortunately you have to be a bloke to appreciate it. 

Freedom of religious belief is an inalienable right. Stuffing that belief down other people's throats is not.

Since you don't have one I'll inform you that it doesn't always go where you aim it. Sometimes it even comes in two seperate streams. The bigger the bowl, the better.

That's cool. Just add video games and I'll be happy. I only get excited about sports during Stanley Cup season, and only if a Canadian team is in it and has a good shot.

I must vehemently disagree. A man goes shopping, and 5 minutes later he comes out to the car with everything he needs. A woman goes shopping, and 3 hours later she comes out to the car with 10 things she didn't need, and one thing out of 3 she went shopping for in the first place.

100% brutally honest is preferable. We'd much rather know you don't want to sleep with us. That way we can go out and get laid by some hottie down the street and you can't get all pissy about it. Eye-wink

Pretty much. 3 days is actually a more viable time limit, but I can only assume the original author had a better short term memory than most.

We already established our inability to think in such a way a few lines up. Plus, the female is the ultimate inferrence machine. Only guys with 16 sisters and no brothers can accomplish this extraordinary feat. And it took them 20 years of experience to accomplish it.

This is not an acceptable response. You keep asking us our opinions on colours we have no awareness of, in correspondance with schemes and artifacts and....shit. Our heads just spin. Seriously.

I'm so glad I'm divorced

I totally don't miss my ex after reading this.  I just miss my money, tv, and sex.
