At last a guy has taken the time to write all of this out. Finally, the guys side of the story. We always hear "the rules" from the females. Now, here are the rules. These are our rules. They 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 bitching about if you leave it down.
1. Sunday sports. It's like a full moon or the changing of the tides. Let it be.
1. Shopping is NOT a sport. And, no we are not going to ever think of it that way.
1. Crying is blackmail.
1. Ask for what you want. Let us be clear about 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 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 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 2 ways and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one.
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 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 like nothing's wrong. We know you are lying but it is 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. 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.
