The Man Rules.

Girls read this.
The Man Rules
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.

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. 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 already think you're fat, then 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 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 motor sports.

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.

Hmmm... that could be what makes it so hard to be the head of a household these days.

Re: The Man Rules.

Just a thought:
After the fall, God gave Adam his assignment. Get out and work by the SWEAT
of your brow.
Eve, you will bear children in travail and labor. Childbirth.

If the man rules, then he needs to carry his assignment through. Get out
and SWEAT! No, not the gym! Provide for your family! Work until you sweat!
The woman surely does travail and gives birth to their babies.(Her work has
just begun!
But how many men, AFTER the woman has travailed in labor and had the babies,
then want the woman to help carry their part too. Man doesn't go through child-
birth, and she shouldn't have to go out and leave her babies and help until he
has sweated on HIS BROW!!! Labor as in work and labor as in childbirth.

So if it seems the woman sometimes desires to "have a say", has she not earned
a right to!! Didn't say it was right. But maybe she feels it is!
Also, did God instruct Eve to go out and work by the sweat of her brow until
Adam got something (job, family, ministry, his college education, doctorate)
started or finished!

Now, let me go hide for awhile!

I completely agree with the concept but I would say that it isn't always... and maybe even the majority of the time... that the man isn't doing his part. (although this is definitely the case for some people... and I know some personally.)

The woman in the workplace is often the result of several issues.

1. They (the couple) want to live a higher standard of living than one income can bring in. So... for the sake of the SUV, home in the burbs, the boat etc they both work to live "the dream".

2. There are many women who work because they do not want to be in a place where they are dependent on anyone.

There are other reasons as well... I am sure.
