Guy's Rules

The Guys' Rules*******************
At last a guy has taken the time to write this all down
Finally, the guys' side of the story.
(I must admit, it's pretty good.)
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 them makes you sad or angry, then 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, besides we know you will bring it up again later.

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 shooting.

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. besides there is a TV within easy view of the couch............
 
That's a good one :-))
 
"1. If it itches, it will be scratched.
We do that."
My personal favorite

"1. If we ask what is wrong and you say "nothing," We will act like nothing's wrong.

Ain't that the truth...

Fun stuff!
 
1. Learn to work the toilet seat.

We need it up, you need it down.
You don't hear us complaining about you leaving it down.

Although I have made a habit out of always putting the toilet seat down, I completely agree with this statement. Why is it our responsibility to put the seat down. Wouldn't it be just as reasonable to ask women to put it up when they are done?

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, besides we know you will bring it up again later.

Perfect. I can't tell you how many times I have had this exact same conversation with my wife.

1. Crying is blackmail.

Using sex as a weapon is not cool, either.

xvart.

Cool, good save.

LOL

I learned a long time ago how to make a woman want the seat up. If it's down pee on it.
After a couple of wet butts she'll be putting the seat up herself.

Yeah, my bathroom in college was the same way. It was about 4' x 3' with a bathtub on top of that. I had a huge rabbit cage and tons and tons of clothes lying around. On top of that were dozens of toilet paper rolls that I never bothered to throw away. It was not pleasant.

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

This is another good one. I rarely watch TV (or at least TV that I want to watch), but when I do, and I am obviously interested in what I am watching, it is never a good time to interrupt unless you want me to blow you off with some one word answer.

It never fails, you'll be watching tv and hours will go by with nothing that you even care about. Then there is something you really want to hear, and she wants to tell you about her day. You know from experience that you can't said hold on a sec, cause if you do she'll ask why, then you explain I want to her this. She then says, you care more about a dumb tv show then you do me. Then she's pissed and goes to another part of the house. Then you realize that not only is it now going to be a long night, but you just missed what you wanted to hear anyway.

This all sounds very familiar. Hints the quote in my signature about "every man..."

These are all the ones I wish I could tatoo backwards on many a woman's forhead so she would have to read them every morning in the mirror.
