The Man Rules
The Man Rules
At last a guy has taken the time to write this all downFINALLY, 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.
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.
1. Sunday sports. It's like the full moon,
or the changing of the tides.
Let it be.
1. Crying is blackmail.
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!
1. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.
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..
1. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument.
In fact, all comments become null and void after 7 Days.
1. If you think you're fat, you probably are.
Don't ask us.
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!
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.
1. Whenever possible, Please say whatever you have to say during commercials..
1. Christopher Columbus did NOT need directions and neither do we.
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.
1. If it itches, it will be scratched.
We do that.
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.
1. If you ask a question you don't want an answer to,
expect an answer you don't want to hear.
1. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine...Really.
1. Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as baseball
OR FOOTBALL!! .
1. You have enough clothes.
1. You have too many shoes.
1. I am in shape. Round IS a shape!
1. 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.

@The_Reading_Writer - Do yourself a favor, my friend. Next time you comment, try to form a coherent sentence. Kind of makes you look bad. Hope you're having a great day!
@BLOOMnLUNAtic - @ellequireve84 - Of course Columbus got lost, and a pumpkin is not a fruit, that is part of the joking nature of this post! Jeez! Maybe I should have titled it "Stoopid Man Rules"? If you followed AirForceVirgin's link to this page, I think you may have read it with a jaundiced eye?
@innovativechaos - @anyarockstar - @ellequireve84 - Thanks for seeing it as the joke it was intended to be!
LOL - and no, SERIOUSLY, I'm laughing out loud. This is some good stuff!
I read yours and the response.
I think they are both funny. The opposite sex will take offense to one or the other...however, I still think both are very funny.
Bravo.
I'm not hating on your post though. Just poking a little fun back.
Christopher Columbus didn't ask for directions and ended up in the entirely wrong country of where he planned to go. How is that argument even valid??!
I thought pumpkins were vegetables since they're apart of the squash family. I guess men are idiots & don't know that. That's all right. Still funny.
@buddly47 - It must be difficult going through life without an original thought. Man Rules/Woman Rules? Whew... quite original..
Would of been good to mention that is what a joke as well, considering there are people as dumb as this list.. but they usually don't have Xangas.. as I mentioned before.
I liked all of it except for this: "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."
Well we damn well SHOULD be worth it! Especially if you're telling us you love us. I know my Jake will keep pressing me if he knows something is wrong with me, because that's how I am.
Very funny though ;]
HAH! This post reminds me of one of my guy friends. Its not wrong to think this way, but for those who do agree with this or the opposite of this should put themselves in each others shoes. Just might give a lil perspective. but this was pretty funny.
@Carrietale - Good grief,girl! It's ...a....joke! I put it up to give some of my friends, who actually know me, a few chuckles! And, since they know me, and know that I am nothing like that, THEY thought it was funny! It got out of hand when AirForceVirgin asked me if it would be OK if she did a counter post called "woman rules" and if she could link this post to hers. I told her sure, it's fine by me, encouraged her to give it her best shot. Her post,which btw is every bit as sexist as mine, became a "Featured Post" on the Xange frontpage(which she thanked me for)and ever since, I have been swamped with people looking at this little joke totally out of context! Get a grip, people.
This is amazing and hilarious
<3
"1. If we ask what is wrong and you say 'nothing,' we will act like nothing's wrong.

Glad you value the women in your life so much.
That was what pissed me off the most. Just about everything else in here is stereotypical, and I really hope there are more men who disagree with this post. I have known men who can handle crying (even cry themselves!), can take a hint, and are respectful enough to actually listen to me. The real pussies are the ones who hide behind generalizations so they don't have to care about the women they date.
The only situation where we might be like-minded is football. NFL Sunday is my holy day; but if somebody really wants to talk to me during, I have enough brain cells to both watch and listen. Give men a little more credit- I'm sure you could try multitasking.
Oh, and telling a woman she's fat is the surest way to become single again. Until you've faced the kind of pressure a woman does based on appearance, you are NOT allowed to judge.
I don't want to call you a jerk, as I'm sure you're an okay guy underneath the tired stereotypes... as are most men. At least, I believe men are capable of complexity and sensitivity. To say otherwise is to insult your own gender.
this just made me giggle cuz i've read this somewhere before
and sometimes you men just say the silliest thingscuz it's only the iceberg of how complex being we really are !
Hi there, Yes, it is very uncomfortable to walk into the bathroom in the middle of the night and find yourself almost falling in and sitting on a wet, cold not very comfortable seat. It is kind to put it down, you said to tell you what our needs are.
Crying is not blackmail and we should all be open with our feelings and able to release them naturally, we will all be healthier and happier!
If you care about your gf, you will care to hear when she has had a really bad day or a problem at work, even if you cannot fix it. It is healthy for people to share their trials and tribulations and sorry you don't feel like a hero in that moment, but yes, chocolate or a hug can help us feel much better, so stop feeling helpless when you can't fix it.
Some of it is Cute. Blessings..lol
x__x
@cuzimlexxi - Laughing was the whole point! Thanks.
As for the toilet seat thing: somehow you men manage to piss all over the underside of the toilet seat and we really don't want to touch it. That's also why we refuse to put it up for you.
Christopher Columbus is just another example of a man who SHOULD'VE asked for directions. He was suppose to go Asia but instead stranded themselves somewhere unknown that later became America. In other words, he was lost.
Otherwise, I enjoyed the post. It gave me a good laugh =)
@buddly47 - Ok, sorry. I'm bad with sarcasm. *sweatdrops*
@Sirius_Fan_Girl - A little of both.LOL
@buddly47 - I did, but I can't tell if you're being serious or sarcastic. -.-
@Sirius_Fan_Girl - Yeah, really! Did you see TheReadingWriters comment? Jeez, what a humorless soul. You should see his site, Few friends and no comments. Understandable!hahaha
Hahaha, I love this!!!
I can't believe people are badmouthing this. I mean, girls post these lists ALL THE TIME, right?
hahahaah you're funny
@phuck_diz_shiz - Thanks! But I never sleep on the couch and I always put the seat down,LOL!
Lol *shakes head* YOU DESERVE TO SLEEP ON THE COUCH
@The_Reading_Writer - Thanks for stopping by and commenting. You know, a sense of humor is a wonderful thing! It's what, as humans, allows us to laugh at ourselves, as I do frequently!
It must be difficult going through life without one.
what bullshit.
How do you even have a Xanga.. or a computer for that matter?
These aren't the " Real Man Rules". These are the "Rednecks, Hillbillies, and Hicks Man Rules".
Where to start? Oh wait.. I'll just start with #1 (learn how to count)
1. Not much to say about this.. it's basically saying nothing.
1.2 We're big boys.. we know how to sit... it's probably your favorite thing to do.
1.3 No preference to this other than the fact that Sunday only pertains to NFL
1.4 Crying isn't blackmail.. some men just aren't man enough to be able to handle it.. you can call them pusses
1.5 Subtle hints don't work on rednecks, strong hints don't work on hillbillies, and obvious hints don't work on hicks.. just break up with them and find a real man.
Wow.. there's so much shit in here that it isn't even worth commenting on.. the only ones that I don't disagree with are:
If something we said can be interpreted two ways and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one!
If it itches, it will be scratched.
We do that.
Congratulations, everything else was shit.
@s1LeNt_aNg3L - Lighten up. It's just a little joke post! hahaha
that's how guys acquire D-bag cards. Welcome to the club.
Haha! XP I was laughing my ass off. Lol, this is just rich. Cudos.
@ELCIINE - Hahaha! I'm sure you did, but I thought it was cute enuff to put up for those that hadn't. Thanks for the recommend!
Haha! i'm pretty sure I read this somewhere but I still think it's super funny!
@adventofreason - Somebody in a bad mood?
oh probably, that and I am a bitch when all is said and done. oh well.
oki
@fivepts - I'm not a miracle worker, Keith! *sigh*
@adventofreason - You're just being cantankerous because of the jet lag! lol
A life without rules is chaos. This should fix things. Now, can you do something about the upcoming election?
I take issue with number one, just for the record.
@SaadiaOnline - Of course he'll agree! What man wouldn't?
Perfect, Bud--Dave would agree with each and every one of these points. I'll have to let him take a look.
this is just the funniest post ...
now that I know ... i will try to be crystal clear on what i want ...
i am still lol
@MooncatBlue - It's my favorite pie!!!
Pumpkin is my favorite color.
@Jaynebug - Good girl! It's all about peaceful co-existance!
@Bricker59 - I do what I can, Brick.
My man has made these rules clear over the years and I have only fallen in the toilet a few times in the middle of the night.
Brilliant.
Especially number one.
You have helped the female species today bud.
