Rules that Girls Wish Guys Knew
April 18, 2008

Rules that Girls Wish Guys Knew

1. Asking a girl on Friday for a date on Saturday is completely unacceptable. Keyword: Planning

2. Shave every day. One day's growth of facial hair is worse than a girl not shaving her legs for a week.

3. We may be emotional beings, but do not lie to squirm your way out of trouble. We are not as gullible as you think.

4. Learn to clean up the toilet. If peeing standing up is so difficult and you are bound to miss, then may we suggest that you learn to use a toilet brush and sponge to clean up after yourself.

5. We really don't find it attractive when you stand there stratching yourself in the morning, afternoon or night- please do it in private.

6. Don't do it, if you're not going to follow-thru. A woman would rather not have sex at all, than to have it and miss the climax by a mile because you weren't up for the challenge.

7. Don't fix it if it's really not broke. You don't need to take everything apart out of curiosity.

8. Ask for directions

9. If you said you are going to be somewhere at a certain time, then do it. Don't expect us to wait around.

10. Professional Wrestling and Soap Opera's are the same story lines, just different costumes. So don't make fun of us for being hooked on Y&R when you are hooked on RAW.

11. "I don't feel like talking right now" is an acceptable thing to say- Unacceptable thing to do is sit there and pretend you're listening and just say "uh huh" and "yes Dear"- it's condescending.

12. Get rid of your holey underwear.

13. If you can ogle so can we!

14. One remote is ENOUGH... no need to have a control tower in your living room.

15. Couch Potato is not a sport, so don't try to be an All-star at it!

16. Your way is not always the right way. Learn to say- "I was wrong"

17. If we can't talk to you during a football game, then don't try to get our attention during Gray's Anatomy.

18. If you say you are going to do something, then just do it. Don't sit around thinking of creative excuses why you couldn't get to it.

19. We are not your mothers, so don't expect us to clean up after you like one.

20. Wendy's is not considered a romantic dinner for two.

21. We have other friends of the male gender, so leave your jealousy at the door!

22. If you concede to let us decorate the house without any input from you, then don't complain when everything is in frilly flowers, and pink motif.

23. When wearing a dress shirt, wear an undershirt underneath. Nothing worse than seeing a man's hairy chest and nipples through his shirt. (PINK PINK PINK)

24. Hey, we CAN be friends with our ex's- so deal with it!

25. We understand that you have to put on a manly act in front of your friends, but in the privacy of your own home, it's okay if you just want to cuddle.

I’m just saying....I am a bit too much of a MANLY BEAST of a Man to avoid shaving the pits. Unless I want to SMELL like a MANLY BEAST of a MAN. I really don’t. And the women who get close enough appreciate it. It certainly doesn’t make me gay.

Aw, thank you! He insists that everyone in Lebanon is hideous except me though LOL. He’s a Gulf Arab & apparently many Lebanese are jealous of “camel-riding backwards Gulf Arabs who found oil” so there’s a hostility between them. I’m from the backwards, barefoot part of Lebanon though, so I guess we’re suited for each other.

Already done (which is why this thread was started).

The parallel between the two is extremely interesting though.

How about a polish dog and a soda at CostCo if you also get chocolate frozen yogurt?

My girl friends and I live by #13 - if they don’t like us openly admiring guys, then they shouldn’t openly admire girls. The girls with boyfriends live by a modification of #2 that basically goes “If you won’t shave your face, I won’t shave my legs.”. The rest of the rules, though, are sort of stereotypical, cause I’d rather watch a football game than Grey’s Anatomy any day of the week, I’m the person who’s taking things apart and trying to keep track of 5 TV remotes, and I can be ready to go in 15 minutes (20 if I decide checking my Facebook, cell phone, and email are also necessary).

For me

Chocolate IS just another snack.

Princess Di’s death WAS just another obituary.

I’m not squeamish about “icky” gas stations.

After they see my San Diego Chargers, Anaheim Angels, and NRA bumper stickers, car mechanics DO tell me the truth.

People look at my face, not my chest, when I’m talking to them. One of the benefits of being a 34B.

Yeah, there were a couple of true ones that stood out to me too....same with the other list on the other thread.

I like to look too, lots!
I like being left alone and I’ll leave you alone.
Don’t mess with my stuff. I won’t mess with yours :)

Being a 36B, I like it when they look at my chest.

Maybe it depends on what benefits the ex has at home. I have an ex I am friends with. It's obvious he's only interested in his wife. She's beautiful.

You are right, I guess. I would have less of a heartburn if the ex was married versus the ex being single. But even then, I personally know of two male friends who have beautiful wives and have still messed around with their married ex's. The married ex's are married to really cool guys too. Guess it still boils down to a couple of well-known quotes for some in our society: 1) Men are pigs and 2) It takes two to tango.

ah, as a guy, where to begin:

25. We understand that you have to put on a manly act in front of your friends, but in the privacy of your own home, it’s okay if you just want to cuddle.

Sorry, I don’t “cuddle”.. I’ll do it from time to time for her benefit because she needs it, but it is not a manly act, it is a firm heartfelt belief that I hold that “if cuddling is the best part, he didn’t do it right”. If you want action, you get action.. if you want to lay there for hours just to feel nice, while my arm is asleep from your head cutting off the circulation to it and my back is spasming from the contorted angle you’ve forced it into, I’ll do it because I care about you, but don’t think for one minute that an hour or two of that is something I’m looking forward to.

2. Shave every day. One day’s growth of facial hair is worse than a girl not shaving her legs for a week

Given that most women once in any sort of relationship quikly go down to once a week if you are lucky... I’m not going out of my way to shave daily. Besides, shaving stubble is far more prickly and irritating to private parts than a few days worth of stubble... or so I’m told :->

5. We really don’t find it attractive when you stand there stratching yourself in the morning, afternoon or night- please do it in private.

Fair enough, but we don’t find your stained panties soaking in the bathroom sink anything but disgusting.. you stop doing that, I’ll be more worried about when I scratch the old clackers.

10. Professional Wrestling and Soap Opera’s are the same story lines, just different costumes. So don’t make fun of us for being hooked on Y&R when you are hooked on RAW.

Fair enough.. start wearing the outfits and look as good in them as the chicks on RAW, and I’ll stop mocking the oddly named metrosexual doctor on your soap.

15. Couch Potato is not a sport, so don’t try to be an All-star at it!

I wish I had time to be a couch potatoe. I have yet to meet one woman who can keep up with my schedule.

16. Your way is not always the right way. Learn to say- “I was wrong”

BWAHAHAHA where to go on this one.... Ladies.. you gripe we do not help, but the minute we do, you tell us how we are doing it wrong. Your way of loading the dishwasher is not the only RIGHT way to do it... Shut up and let us do it, or don’t bitch that we don’t do it. I can’t tell you how many women I’ve seen gripe their guy doesn’t help with x or y, but the minute he does she’s there telling him he’s doing it wrong... not that he’s doing anything wrong mind you.. its just he’s not doing it the way SHE would do it... So rather than have these stupid arguments, most guys just accept their women griping rather than try to help again... Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice shame on me.

20. Wendy’s is not considered a romantic dinner for two.

Fair enough, and instant mashed potatoes and reheated prepackaged food is not a home made meal, and the first isn’t even food at all. Serve the first to me ever you are out the door... serve the second to me and claim how you work so hard to make dinner and prepare to hear my muffled laughter.

21. We have other friends of the male gender, so leave your jealousy at the door!

True, and we have other friends of the female gender, some of which are going to have perkier assets and firmer behinds than you... Leave your jealousy, and catty comments, at the door.

And finally, I’m a guy... I’m a pig... I’m fine with this. If I love you, I’ll willingly lay down my life for you or any children we may have... I will do everything I can within reason to make you happy.. however if your biggest complaint in our relationship is that my pants don’t always make it into the hamper or that once in a while I actually enjoy spending time with my friends.. then sweetie you are beyond a spoiled brat. You aren’t going to change me... I’m not your pet project... And no matter what I say in most arguments to end them... I’m probably not wrong.. I’m probably not sorry, and in all odds I’m going to do it again.

As a piggish male, I can honestly say, I look at every womans chest... No I don’t talk to womens boobs, or drool at them, or stare at them as though I’ve never seen anythihng like them before in my life, no matter how big or small they are... but I do look at all of them.

But when I’m talking to you, I’m looking at your face... I may be thinking about your boobs, but I’ll be looking at your face.. hahaha.

Hmm, I was reading all down that post and thinking “that sounds just like my husband” - and then it turned out it was. Heh!

Other than #2 they are all total garbage. And #13 is right out ;)
