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. 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. Shopping is NOT a sport. And no, we are never going to think of it that way.

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. A headache that lasts for 17 months is a problem. See a doctor.

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.

1. 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. 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.

Um, guys, am I to assume this works both ways? In particular:

1. Crying is blackmail. OK, so how am I to react when YOU do it?

1. If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself. So....you're not going to critcize my cooking anymore, and you'll stop telling me how it's not as good as your mother's?

1. I am in shape. Round is a shape. Fine. Then I get to be round too, without hearing YOU complain about my not looking like some supermodel.

Finally, if the original post is "true" and should be sent to "every woman in the world," then this should be sent to every man.

Fair enough?

I'm going to post this based on Dave Barry's belief that there are female guys...I AM ONE!
1. Shopping is NOT a sport. And no, we are never going to think of it that way.
YES! I shop to protect myself from cold and nakedness, not to look good or please others, and CERTAINLY not for fun. Unless we are talking cool guy-toys like laptops, videogames and other expensive electronics.

1. Crying is blackmail.
AMEN!

1. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.
What is the capital of poland? Yes or no? hehe...
Do guys even need to sya yes or no?A non-commital grunt works just as well in either favor

1. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. In fact, all comments become null and void after 7 days.
7 whole days?? try7 minutes. Average guys have goldfish memories

1. If you think you're fat, you probably are. Don't ask us.
Hey either way you get hurt:
Yes: WHAT?! *hit with flying object*
No: LIAR! *hit with flying object*

1. If it itches, it will be scratched. We do that.
If there is air, we belch it. get used to it

possibly brilliant

{Explosive laughter} I probably should have taken your approach. I LOVE the part about goldfish memories. Ever do exactly what a guy says, then have him get mad at you can claim he never said it?

No, but I have done exactly what my wife says and she gets mad and claims she never said what she told me to do. Remember when you point a finger at someone, you have 4 pointed right back at you.
