Men's Rules

We always hear "the rules" from the other side. Now here are the rules from the male side.

These are our rules: (please note, they 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. 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 inadmissable in an argument. In fact, all comments become null and void after 7 days.

1. If you won't dress like 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 the ways makes you sad or angry, we neant 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 ityourself.

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

1. Christopher Columbus did not need directions and neither do we.

1. 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's just 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 anywhere, 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

1. Thank you for reading this. Yes, I know, I have to sleep on the couch tonight; But did you know that men really
don't mind that? It's like camping.
