In responce...

AND NOW.......
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. Men are NOT mind readers.
No you aren't, but girls have something called hormones, and don't always know how to express themselves.

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.
germs...germs...germs. its easier to kick the seat down, than to lift it up....plus, you guys don't clean the toilet underneath the seat.

1. Sunday sports. It's like the full moon
or the changing of the tides.
Let it be.
I like sports...i'll watch them with you!

1. Shopping is NOT a sport.
And no, we are never going to think of it that way.
no, but walking is...you need the exercise anyways.

1. Crying is blackmail.
yes it is...and we know it.

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!
its not about the hints...its about the fact that you should know what we are hinting at already

1. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.
yes they are, but so is an explaination every once in a while too

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.
but we love you, we want sympathy and a hug from you too...its a respectful and an honor to have a crying girl call you up...it means that they trust you.

1. A headache that lasts for 17 months is a Problem.
See a doctor.
yes.

1. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument.
In fact, all comments become null and void after 7 Days.
no, it still happened and it still emotionally effected us...we will bring it up.

1. If you won't dress like the Victoria 's Secret girls, don't Expect us to act like soap opera guys.
? i'm confused.

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

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
no you didn't, just a misscommunication. Its ok. Just explain yourself.

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.
uh, no...we can ask you to do something then explain how it "should" be done. Grow up...girls won't always do the dishes for you.

1. Whenever possible, Please say whatever you have to say during commercials.
agreed...but you can half listen to us if we talk during a show.

1. Christopher Columbus did NOT need directions and neither do we.
...and he thought he was going to the West Indies...he screwed up.

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.
not true...you just don't know how to look. I know alot of guys who see more colors than i do, AND can name them off.

1. If it itches, it will be scratched.
We do that.
yes you do...so why can't we?

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.
then that means that you aren't worth being friends with...you should go through the hassle if we mean something to you.

1. If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, Expect an answer you don't want to hear.
true, but why ask the question...not all girls are idiots.

1. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine...Really.
yes, and college girls are the same way

1 Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as baseball, the shotgun formation,
or golf.
that is not true...but i'll stare blankly at you if you do bring up those topics.

1. You have enough clothes.
yes and no

1. You have too many shoes.
no i don't

1. I am in shape. Round IS a shape!
yeah, and so is an Egg...it goes both ways

1. Thank you for reading this.
Yes, I know, I have to sleep on the couch tonight;
no, just a 3 hour long conversation then a make-out session telling you that i still love you.

But did you know men really don't mind that? It's like camping
not true, you guys like girls sleeping next to you just as much as we like curling up next to your bodies.
