And, (drum roll), what happened to Rule No. 3?


:) Nope, they're not my rules. I must have deleted 3 on the cut & paste. Actually, if I had realized I was gonna do that I would have removed all of the ones which I don't necessarily agree with as well. :)

For the most part those are pretty funny I thought. :p

On these 2, all women must understand.

If you must ask, then the answer is YES!

Man's Rules for Women


Learn to work the toilet seat. You're a big girl. If it's up, put it down.

Birthdays, Valentines, and Anniversaries are not quests to see if we can find the perfect present yet again!

Sometimes, we are not thinking about you. Live with it.

Do not ask us what we are thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as navel lint, the shotgun formation, and NASCAR.

Sunday = sports. It's like the full moon or the changing of the tides. Let it be.

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

When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine. Really.

Crying is blackmail.

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!

We don't remember dates. Mark birthdays and anniversaries on a calendar. Remind us frequently beforehand.

Most guys own three pairs of shoes - tops. What makes you think we'd be any good at choosing which pair, out of thirty, would look good with your dress?

Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.

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.

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

Check your own oil! Please.

Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. In fact, all comments become null and void after 7 days.

If you won't dress like the Victoria's Secret girls, don't expect us to act like soap opera guys.

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

Let us ogle. We are going to look anyway; it's genetic.

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.

Whenever possible, please say whatever you have to say during commercials.

Christopher Columbus did not need directions, and neither do we.

The relationship is never going to be like it was the first two months we were going out. Get over it. And quit whining to your girlfriends.

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.

If it itches, it will be scratched. We do that.

We are not mind readers and we never will be. Our lack of mind-reading ability is not proof of how little we care about you.

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.

I'm in shape. - ROUND is a shape.

No guys.

Just hit anything else... not her.

You can always replace a hole in a door but not a hole in a heart.

Sometimes it's a rocky road... learn from what made the road rocky.

Abuse is just that... no one needs it.

If you got to hit something in the house to keep from hitting your spouse, then you don't need to be there at all.



Slapping her was in a " Fore Play " context.

Do you even know what a donkey punch is?  Do you know it was a joke?

This one is hilarious.
Why?  Because women will lie.
Man:  "Are you okay honey?"
Woman (with a frown on her face): "Yes"
Man:  "Okay, what's wrong?"
Woman (snappinng out an answer):  "Nothing"
Man:  "Okay"
Man leaves the room.
Later on you come to find out (although you already knew) that she was indeed ticked off about something but expects you to wait around until the tears flow....then she'll tell you what is wrong...and what has been wrong on an item by item basis.......over the last few years.

Then you find out that she is REALLY annoyed at the fact that earlier you didn't keep pressing her as to what is wrong....even though she said it was nothing.

Your rule is incorrect.
It should read "Yes means no and no means yes".
and silence means you are truely pooched.  It is never good.


So funny ~ you know, I hate to say it, but I think I gotta agree with you on this one. If I'm upset, I usually expect TxDad to know what I'm upset about without me having to tell him.  Being the perfect man that he is... he does usually know. :D

Yeah, "No" rarely means No. Fine means DEFCON2.

One rule that isn't funny is no hitting, either the man the woman, or the woman the man.  Any woman that thinks she gets to slap, pummel, pinch, scratch, bite or otherwise physically abuse a man invites commensurate retaliation.

Men do remember anniversaries!

A woman awakes during the night to find that her husband is not in bed.
She puts on her robe and goes downstairs to look for him.
She finds him sitting at the kitchen table with a hot cup of coffee in front of him. He appears to be in deep thought, just staring at the wall.
She watches as he wiped a tear from his eye and takes a sip of his coffee.
What's the matter, dear?" she whispers as she steps into the room,"Why are you down here at this time of night?"
The husband looks up from his coffee and solemnly asks, "Do you remember 20 years ago when we were dating, and you were only 16?"
The wife is touched to tears thinking that her husband is so caring and sensitive.
"Yes, I do" she replies.
The husband paused. The words were not coming easily.
"Do you remember when your father caught us in the back seat of my car?"
"Yes, I remember," said the wife, lowering herself into a chair beside him.
The husband continued, "Do you remember when he shoved the shotgun in my  face and said, 'Either you marry my daughter, or I will send you to jail for 20 years?'"
"I remember that too," she replied softly.
He wiped another tear from his cheek and said. . .

"I would have gotten out today"
