The Man Rules

[Brother Jerry]

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.

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. Crying is blackmail.

5. 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!

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

7. 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.

8. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. In fact, all comments become Null and void after 7 Days.

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

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

11. 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.

12. Whenever possible, Please say whatever you have to say During commercials..

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

14. 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.

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

16. If we ask what is wrong and you say 'nothing,' We will act like nothing's wrong.
 We do know you are lying, but see Rule 1.

17. If you ask a ques tion you don't want an answer to, Expect an answer you don't want to hear.

18. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is  fine...
 Really.

19. Yes, we are going to look, remember looking is NOT the same as  doing, besides you do it too.

20. Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless you are prepared  to discuss such topics as baseball or motor sports

21. You have enough clothes.

22. You have too many shoes.

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.
