The Guy's Rules.

I got this from my friend Lora and decided to share.

The 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. 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 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 is 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 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.



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.
