Men's Rules

greeneagle · #1 (**permalink**) 12-10-2003, 06:43 PM

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 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 the ways makes you sad or angry, 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 6 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.

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, sex, 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 men really don't mind that, it's like camping.

When this list was first posted a few weeks ago I printed it out and took it with me as lite entertainment on a road trip.

We were heading to a nearby town (about an hours drive), me and six guys - the mayor, former mayor, city administrator and a couple of my fellow city council members. I was kind of hesitant about sharing the list. It is not a group used to hearing that kind of stuff from me.

They loved it! Went back to City Hall, made copies and took them home. Thank you for sharing again!

*Umm Cindy, What DO we need men for? ;) If you want companionship, get a puppy - A puppy is always cute, entertaining, loves all your friends and family, and someday they WILL grow up. If you want valuable communication - watch TV. ;)

Quote:

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

1. If it itches, it will be scratched. We do that.

Women never forget. Men never remember.

Where'd that one go that suggests women should not ask questions you don't want to hear the answer too! Besides how'd we get from what you wear, to what we said here anyhow? The point was, we don't care what you wear, as long as it isn't nekkid and scratchin' both at the same time!

This discussion reminded me of a song by comedian Sean Morey. He's no Kevin Bloody Wilson, but he sure is funny.

The Man Song by Sean Morey

I don't take no crap from anybody! ... else but you.
I wear the pants around here!...when I'm finished with your laundry.
'Cause I'm a guy you don't want to fight! ... when I say "jump" you say "yeah, right".
I'm the man of this house! ... until you get home.

What I say goes around here! ... right out the window.
And I don't want to hear a lot of whining! ... so I'll shut up.
The sooner you learn who's boss around here! ... the sooner you can give me my orders, dear.
'Cause I am the head honcho! ... but it's all in my head.
And I can have sex anytime! ... that you want.

'Cause I'm a man who has needs! ... but they're not that important.
And don't expect any flowers from me! ... because if I'm not mistaken you prefer jewelry.
I'm the king of my castle! ... when you're not around.

And I'll drink and watch sports whenever I want! ... to get into trouble.
And I'll come home when I'm good and ready! ... to sleep on the couch.
Because a man's got to do what a man's got to do! ... and I'm going to do what you tell me to.
Because I'm top dog around here! ... but I've been neutered!

mikmik · #14 (**permalink**) 12-11-2003, 11:31 AM

In every marriage more than a week old, there are grounds for divorce. The trick is to find, and continue to find, grounds for marriage.
Robert Anderson

A man in love is incomplete until he has married. Then he's finished.
Zsa Zsa Gabor

It's a funny thing that when a man hasn't anything on earth to worry about, he goes off and gets married.
Robert Frost

Marriage is an alliance entered into by a man who can't sleep with the window shut, and a woman who can't sleep with the window open.
George Bernard Shaw

__________Are You Normal?__________

(that's an easy one. You're here, right?)

These stats will tell you if you're normal or a freak. (remember that 90% of people say that they sometimes lie)

AROUND THE HOUSE
* 21% of us don't make our bed daily. 5% of us never do.
* Men do 29% of laundry each week. Only 7% of women trust their husbands to do it correctly.
* 40% of women have hurled footwear at a man.
* 85% of men don't use the slit in their underwear.
* 67.5% of men were tightie whities (briefs).
* The average bra size today is 36C whereas 10 years ago it was a 34B.
* 85% of women wear the wrong bra size. (Is there a correlation????)

HABITS
* 58.4% have called into work sick when we weren't.
* 3 out of 4 of us store our dollar bills in rigid order with singles leading up to higher denominations.
* 50% admit they regularly sneak food into movie theaters to avoid the high prices of snack foods.
* 39% of us peek in our host's bathroom cabinet.
* 17% have been caught by the host.
* 81.3% would tell an acquaintance to zip his pants.
* 29% of us ignore RSVP.
* 35% give to charity at least once a month.
* 71.6% of us eavesdrop

Another troubled potential female client (Small Town Newspaper Editor) called me with a Compaq problem today!

Don't most men buy Dell's, while most women buy Compaqs?

Careful those could be fightin' words! :) I say start a poll and see who owns what. The answer is in the asking. It could be a really fun thread! Enquiring minds want to know! :)

P.S. Having worked for Compaq - I learned first hand that Compaqs are made to be problems. Nothing works the way it should and if it does it's not supposed to. My opinion, a good compaq makes a very expensive door stop or paper weight. :)

A smart woman would know that any 'package' computer put together by a man would bound to be 'faulty' & 'not friendly' to upgrades ;-)

Its a bit like going out with that perfect man. Good job, money, etc....then he opens his mouth! ;-)

I have HPs and Dells, and I have owned Compaqs (by proxy) and Toshibas === and have very definite opinions!

Start a poll , go for it!
I am interested too!

awww I wouldn't want to take your fun away though :) I thought maybe you would want the pleasure of starting the new thread? It thought was yours. :)

By the way, I want to correct a small error in my previous post.

Having worked for Compaq

That should say having worked WITH Compaq, not FOR Compaq. I worked FOR a company that worked WITH Compaq, Toshiba, and Gateway. It's amazing how one little word can cause problems.

Have to make sure it's not a funny beer commercial first.

Don't forget that new Dodge Ram Truck Commercial they only show at night during the David Letterman Show!

I'll be waxing it!

*Please note... these are all numbered "1" ON PURPOSE!

After going through the list, here are some of my responses.

I can agree with number 1; number 1 I see some merit; number 1 is a bit off base; number 1 as it relates to number 1 and number 1 is definately on the mark; number 1 could be grounds for divorce; looking at number 1, I don't think I've ever been in that situation; number 1 is not applicable; number 1 could be debated till the cows come home, and never be resolved; number 1 is a no brainer.

Now, all you all have to do is figure out which number 1 matched my responses. :)
