1. Men ARE not mind readers.

2. 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.

3. Sunday sports. It's like the full moon or the changing of the tides. Let it be..

4. Shopping is NOT a sport. And no, we are never going to think of it that way.

5. Crying is blackmail.

6. 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!

7. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.

8. 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.

9. A headache that lasts for 17 months is a problem. See a doctor.

10. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument In fact, all comments become null and void after 7 days.

11. If you won't dress like the Victoria's Secret girls, don't expect us to act like soap opera guys.

12. If you think you're fat, you probably are.. Don't ask us.

13. If something we said can be interpreted two ways and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one.

14. 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.

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

16. Christopher Columbus did NOT need directions and neither do we.

17. Men only see in 16 colors, like old Windows default settings. Peach, for example, is a fruit, not a color. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is.

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

19. If we ask what is wrong and you say "nothing," we will act like nothings wrong. We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle.

20. If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, expect an answer you don't want to hear.

21. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine ... really.

22. Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as baseball, the shotgun formation, or golf.

23. You have enough clothes.

24. You have too many shoes.

25. I am in shape. Round is a shape.

26. 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.

Enough said.

These (not bolded) are my favorite, and as a woman, I agree with them completely.

The bolded ones are the crappy ones, bc:

2. If your aim didn't suck and you didn't insist on standing and creating a giant mess, you wouldn't need to lift the toilet seat.

14. This is a cop-out; you purposefully do a half-ass, crappy job so that you'll never be asked to do that chore again. You're not fooling anyone with that one.

My dad totally pulled that early on in my folks marriage. My mom wanted him to deal with paying the bills. After he got the power and water cut off for non-payment 2 times because he ignored the bills, she gave up and took over. 45 years later she is still doing them. Funny thing is my dad successfully owned and ran his own company for 37 or so years. The man does know how to manage finances, he just didn't want to do it

I don't get the toilet seat gripe from some guys. When they're doing other business are they doing it with the seat up? Probably not. The dh would leave it up in the beginning of our relationship. Once I went into the bathroom in the middle of the night, didn't bother turning the lights one, and fell in. That was the last time he left it up. I don't like that he stands up while going at all. He's tall and from that distance it makes a mess. Although, I've noticed the past couple of years that he's been changing his ways a bit since bathroom cleaning is his chore.

I always check before sitting. Once I went into a bathroom in Sinai and saw a scorpion on the seat. Since then I do not sit before looking!

That would have left a mark, a painful one.

REAL men don't NEED rules.

...and if we DID, we'd either ignore them or not understand them.

LOL....

I asked the s.o. to describe the color "melon" because a make-up color looked off to me onscreen.

He just made wtf face and said "uhhhhh pink or like a melon"

And I am a toilet nazi. Not getting away with that one or any shakey drip fling biz either.
