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. 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 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 mths. ago is inadmissable in an argument. In fact, any/all comments become null and void after 7 days.
1. If you won't dress like the Victoria's Secrets 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 those ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other way.
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 didn't need directions and neither do we.
1. ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings. Peach, for instance, is a fruit, not a color. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is.
1. If it itches, it wil be scratched.
1. If we ask what is wrong and you say "nothing," we will act like nothing's wrong. We know you're lying, but it's just not worth the hassle.
1. If you ask a question you don't want us to answer, 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 monster trucks.
1. You have enough clothes.
1. You have too many shoes.
1. I am in shape. Round is a shape.
Thank you for reading this. Yes, I know I'll have to sleep on the couch tonight, but you know men don't really mind that. It's like camping. Pass this on to as many men as you can - to give them a laugh. Pass this on to as many women as you can - to give them an even bigger laugh. ;D
