Rules From the Male Point of View

Hi Dr. Laura, 

At last a guy has taken the time to write this all down. Finally, the guys' side of the story! We always hear relationship rules from the female side. Since I found the rules from the male point of view, I had to share. Yes, 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. 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. 

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

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 and 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, football or golf. 

1. You have enough clothes. 

1. You have too many shoes. 

1. I am in shape. Round IS a shape!
