Rules that men wish women knew

Postby aussiedrillerman » Fri Apr 27, 2007 5:06 pm

1) If you think you're fat, you probably are. Don't ask us.
2) Learn to work the toilet seat: if it's up, put it down.
3) Don't cut your hair. Ever.
4) Birthdays, Valentines, and Anniversaries are not quests to see if he can find the perfect present!
5) If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, expect an answer you don't want to hear.
6) Sometimes, he's not thinking about you. Live with it.
7) Don't ask him what he's thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as navel lint, the shotgun formation, and monster trucks.
8) Get rid of your cat. And no, it's not different, it's just like every other cat.
9) Dogs are better than ANY cats. Period.
10) Sunday Sports. It's like the full moon or the changing of the tides. Let it be.
11) Shopping is not a sport.
12) Anything you wear is fine. Really.
13) You have enough clothes.
14) You have too many shoes.
15) Crying is blackmail. Use it if you must, but don't expect us to like it.
16) Your brother is an idiot, your ex-boyfriend is an idiot, and your dad's way past idiot.
17) Ask for what you want. Subtle hints don't work.
18) No, he doesn't know what day it is. He never will. Mark anniversaries on a calendar.
19) Pissing standing up is more difficult than peeing from point blank range. We're bound to miss sometimes.
20) Most guys own two to three pairs of shoes - what makes you think we'd be any good at choosing which pair, out of thirty, would look good with your dress?
21) Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers.
22) A headache that lasts for 17 months is a problem. See a doctor.
23) Your Mom doesn't have to be our best friend.
24) Foreign films are best left to foreigners.
25) Check your oil.
26) Don't give us 50 rules when 25 will do.
27) Don't fake it. We'd rather be ineffective than deceived.
28) It is neither in your best interest nor ours to take the quiz together.
29) Anything we said 6 or 8 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. All comments become null and void after 7 days.
30) If you don't dress like the Victoria's Secret girls, don't expect us to act like soap opera guys.
31) If something we said can be interpreted in two ways, and one way makes you sad and angry, we meant the other one.
32) Let us ogle. If we don't look at other women, how can we know how pretty you are?
33) Don't rub the lamp if you don't want the genie to come out.
34) You can either ask us to do something OR tell us how you want it done- but not both.
35) Whenever possible, please say whatever you have to say during commercials.
36) Christopher Columbus didn't need directions, and neither do we.
37) Women wearing Wonderbras and low-cut blouses lose their right to complain about having their boobs stared at.
38) Consider golf a mini-vacation from you. We need it, just like you do.
39) Telling us that the models in the men's magazines are airbrushed makes you look jealous and petty, and it's certainly not going to deter us from reading the magazines.
40) The relationship is never going to be like it was the first two months we were going out.

Erm....didn't you say you were divorced and she got the house?

Might be worth rethinking your approach?

:wink: :D

Oh oh!!!!

Maybe a spell in Cyprus will help? I'm sure there will be some lovely ladies to help you chill.

Personally I have never been 'kept' or agree with women getting everything because they marry and divorce - unless the man had been a total ba***rd.

Best wishes to you aussiedrillerman, I really hope you are happy in Cyprus (not that I'm jealous or anything).

:D :D

This is off-topic but that's the second time today I've seen the word "chill" used on its own as a metaphor! Don't you people mean "chill out" ? :?

Niki, there's no such expression as "just chill" but there's a yanky expression called "chill out"!

But anyway don't worry too much about it, I'll just go bang my head a little more until I'm feeling better...

Bye...

Get Real - like "shite" yes there is. Don't bang your head- just chill!!!

You're knowledge of the english language is fantastic, you are eloquent and phrase sentences well but there are bound to be ways the language is used that you are not aware of.

I wish I could say the same. I know very little Greek, French and no Turkish at all so you are doing far better then me.

"just chill" is very much an expression. I don't know about the US but we definately use it in the UK.
