4. If guys' night out is going to be fun, invite the girls.
5. The correct answer to "Do I look fat?" is never, ever "Yes."
6. Ditto for "Is she prettier than me?"
7. Victoria's Secret is good. Frederick's of Hollywood is bad.
8. Ordering for her is good. Telling her what she wants is bad.
9. Being attentive is good. Stalking is bad.
10. "Honey," "Darling," and "Sweetheart" are good. "Nag,"
"Lardass," and "squeak" are bad.
11. Talking is good. Shouting is bad. Slapping is a felony.
12. A grunt is seldom an acceptable answer to any question.
13. None of your ex-girlfriends was ever nicer, prettier, or better
in bed.
14. Her cooking is excellent.
15. That isn't an excuse for you to avoid cooking.
16. Dish soap is your friend.
17. Hat does not equal shower, after-shave does not equal soap, and
warm does not equal clean.
18. Buying her dinner does not equal foreplay.
19. Answering "Who was that on the phone?" with "Nobody" is never
going to end that conversation.

21. Two words: clean socks.
22. Believe it or not, you're probably not more attractive when
you're all sweaty.

car than you think she is.
27. Ditto for your discourse on football.

bad.
30. Don't assume PMS is the cause for every bad mood.
31. Don't assume PMS doesn't exist.

34. Chivalry and feminism are NOT mutually exclusive.

names.
41. Don't try to change the way she dresses.
42. Her haircut is never bad.

the waiting room, smoking cigars, isn't fair either, and it balances
everything.
