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. -
Absolutely true. Nearly all of us lack Telepathy. Actually it's estimated about 100% of the world's population probably isn't Telepathic.
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.
While this is a arguement as old as time, the reason why we want it up is because we're lousy shots, but don't want to admit it. We've been made lazy due to urinals.
1. Sunday sports. It's like the full moon
or the changing of the tides.
Let it be.
I don't watch Sunday sports. I don't watch sports with the exception of Boxing. I imagine some other men are the same. But not others.
1. Shopping is NOT a sport.
And no, we are never going to think of it that way.
Unless there's a bloke with a whistle running backwards keeping score, then shopping cannot be classified as a sport
1. Crying is blackmail.
As is saying "If you think I look so good, why do you keep looking at other women?"
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!
Honestly, we're stupid creatures. I know I need to be told directly what somebody wants, otherwise they don't get it. Reading between the lines isn't something we do.
1. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.
Then again any answer which doesn't make us the bad guy would be nice
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.
Although we can offer sympathy, if we get something else out of it from you. Know what I mean?
1. A headache that lasts for 17 months is a Problem.
See a doctor.
I imagine this one's about "that excuse". We can totally see through it. We would retaliate with something similar, but we just really REALLY like sex
1. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument.
In fact, all comments become null and void after 7 Days.
This is due to short-term memory loss that all men experience. Same goes for anniversary's and birthdays.
1. If you won't dress like the Victoria 's Secret girls, don't Expect us to act like soap opera guys.
Soap opera's being known for people walking around in their underwear
1. If you think you're fat, you probably are.
Don't ask us.
Unless you're Bulemic/Anorexic. Then we'll probably say you're too thin
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
You've got to love the benefit of the doubt clause
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.
Actually if you tell us how to do it straight away that'd be great
1. Whenever possible, Please say whatever you have to say during commercials.
Or we'll start asking our questions during your time!
1. Christopher Columbus did NOT need directions and neither do we.
I personally always ask for questions. My dad however doesn't. It's caused some battles over the years let me tell you
1. ALL men see in only 16 colors, like
Peach, for example, is a fruit, not A color. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have n o idea what mauve is.
Or turquoise, or beige, or subtle lavender. We're still on the primary colour wheels we got when we were six
1. If it itches, it will be scratched.
We do that.
Same situation for breaking wind/burping/urinating
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.
Its what we call the eventual Avalanche syndrome
1. If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, Expect an answer you don't want to hear.
The term "rhetorical question" is lost on many men, but not some
1. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine...Really.
Provided you don't wear anything to entice any other would-be suitors of course
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.
Or guns, or sex, or explosions, or pirates, or how great I am
1. You have enough clothes.
Infact, I have some gambling debts and...
1. You have too many shoes.
What are you, a centipede?
1. I am in shape. Round IS a shape!
I'm actually buff so I don't qualify for this. The upshot is if I keep in shape, YOU keep in shape too. It's called give and take
1. Thank you for reading this.
Yes, I know, I have to sleep on the couch tonight;
not unless I throw those shoes out onto the garden and lock the door before you can pick them up. Ha!
But did you know men really don't mind that? It's like camping.
If women keep treating me like this, I may end up doing a different kind of "camping" altogether...
