Now here are the rules<br \/>\nfrom the male side. These are our rules! Please note&#8230; these are all<br \/>\nnumbered &#8220;1&#8221; ON PURPOSE! <\/p>\n<p>1. Learn to work the toilet seat. You&#8217;re a big girl. If it&#8217;s up,<br \/>\nput it down. You can handle it. We need it up, you need it down.<br \/>\nYou don&#8217;t hear us complaining about you leaving it down. <\/p>\n<p>1. Sunday = sports. It&#8217;s like the full moon. Let it be. <\/p>\n<p>1. Crying is blackmail. <\/p>\n<p>1. Ask for what you want. Let us be clear on this one Subtle hints do<br \/>\nnot work! Strong hints do not work! Obvious hints do not work! Just say<br \/>\nit! <\/p>\n<p>1. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every<br \/>\nquestion. <\/p>\n<p>1. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it.<br \/>\nThat&#8217;s what we do. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for. <\/p>\n<p>1. A headache that lasts for 17 months is a problem. See a doctor. <\/p>\n<p>1. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. In<br \/>\nfact, all comments become null and void after 7 days. <\/p>\n<p>1. If you won&#8217;t dress like the Victoria&#8217;s Secret girls, don&#8217;t<br \/>\nexpect us to act like soap opera guys. <\/p>\n<p>1. If you think you&#8217;re fat, you probably are. Don&#8217;t ask us. <\/p>\n<p>1. If something we said can be interpreted two ways, and one of the<br \/>\nways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one. <\/p>\n<p>1. You can either ask us to do something g or tell us how you want it<br \/>\ndone. Not both. If you already know best how to do it, just do it<br \/>\nyourself. <\/p>\n<p>1. Whenever possible, please say whatever you have to say during<br \/>\ncommercials. <\/p>\n<p>1. Christopher Columbus did not need directions, and neither do we. ALL<br \/>\nmen see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings. Peach, for<br \/>\nexample, is a fruit, not a color. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no<br \/>\nidea what mauve is. <\/p>\n<p>1. If it itches, it will be scratched. We do that. <\/p>\n<p>1. If we ask what is wrong and you say &#8220;nothing,&#8221; we will act like<br \/>\nnothing&#8217;s wrong. We know you are lying, but it is just not worth<br \/>\nthe hassle. <\/p>\n<p>1. If you ask a question you don&#8217;t want an answer to, expect an<br \/>\nanswer you don&#8217;t want to hear. <\/p>\n<p>1. Don&#8217;t ask us what we&#8217;re thinking about unless you are prepared to<br \/>\ndiscuss such topics as baseball, the shotgun formation , or monster<br \/>\ntrucks. <\/p>\n<p>1. You have enough clothes. <\/p>\n<p>1. You have too many shoes. <\/p>\n<p>1. I am in shape. ROUND is a shape. <\/p>\n<p>1. Thank you for reading this; Yes, I know, I have to sleep on the<br \/>\ncouch tonight, but did you know men really don&#8217;t mind that, it&#8217;s like<br \/>\ncamping.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We always hear &#8220;the rules&#8221; from the female side.
