Guys’ Rules
Hi. Again this is another joke I received from a co-worker. I had to post it because like it says finally there is rules from a male perspective. I have no idea of the origin. If anyone knows let me know so I may give credit where it is due.
At last a guy has taken the time to write this all down Finally, the guy’s 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!
- 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.
- Sunday sports. It’s like the full moon or the changing of the tides. Let it be.
- Shopping is NOT a sport. And no, we are never going to think of it that way.
- Crying is blackmail.
- 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!
- Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.
- 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.
- A headache that lasts for 17 months is a problem. See a doctor.
- Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. In fact, all comments become null and void after 7 days.
- If you won’t dress like the Victoria’s Secret girls, don’t expect us to act like soap opera guys.
- If you think you’re fat, you probably are. Don’t as us.
- If something we said can be interpreted two ways and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one.
- 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.
- Whenever possible, please say whatever you have to say during commercials.
- Christopher Columbus did not need directions and neither do we.
- All men see in only 16 colours, like Windows default settings. Peach, for example is a fruit, not a colour. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is.
- If it itches, it will be scratched. We do that.
- If we ask what is wrong and you say “nothing”, we will act like northing’s wrong. We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle.
- If you ask a question you don’t want an answer to, expect an answer you don’t want to hear.
- When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine.. Really.
- You have enough clothes.
- You have too many shoes.
- I am in shape. Round is a shape.
- 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.
Pass this to as many men as you can to give them a laugh.
Pass this to as many women as you can to give them a bigger laugh!!

Ok, this proves without ANY doubt, who the winners REALLY are in the eternal argument of men vs women.
First of all, we as women can’t argue with your rules… as they are not really true rules, you are just stating what you are capable of doing.
Counting past 1, is beyond your ability.
Learning to do such things, as putting the toilet seat down, again beyond you.
Buying something, for your wife,gf, mother, sister etc, is far beyond your creative abilities.
Making decisions, of any kind from what to wear, when to change, when to shower, what to buy, and just generally how to look after yourself, is far beyond your reach. Enjoy your sleeps, on the downstairs couch. ( If you can’t find it, move 12 monitors, and slip the computer onto the floor… its under there somewhere, Adam Dear)

Oh relax it’s a joke. I agree some of the comments are pushing and I personally would never say. You still have to admit how true it is.
