The Man Rules

Finally , the guys' side of the story.
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. 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.

2. That's what we do.
Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.

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 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, Then 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
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.

Pass this to as many men as you can -
to give them a laugh.

Pass this to as many women as you can -

to give them a bigger laugh
 
Seems perfectly logical to me (which is why my wife wouldn't like one bit of it and be pissed off :D).

I'm sure that if I actually said any one of these things to my girlfriend, I'd be on the couch for a month.
 
The first time this was emailed to me I almost fell off the chair laughing (literally).

Awesome list!!!

I actually used that one line on Angi the other day. I was bitching about being 20+% bodyfat instead of the 7% I was through most of my 20's... and then I said, "Well, I'm still in shape, just a different one!" ;) :eek: :foot: :p :D
 
I know this thread is a little stale, however, I must relate the following:

About 7pm the other night as my neighbor and I were getting my new computer up and running, my wife sticks her head in the door and the conversation proceeded as follows:

Her: I need you to start the gas grill soon.
Me: Ok
Her: When do you think you will start the grill?
Me: When do you want me to start the grill?
Her: When you are ready.
Me: Ok
Her: The squash and onions will take about half an hour.
Me: Ok
Her: I would like to eat at 7:30
Me: Why didn't you just tell me to start the grill?
Her: You were busy.

My friend almost fell out of the chair laughing at the exchange.
