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.
That’s not a joke!!!
Well,
I’m been friends with an HS ex for 35 years-— he and his wife and I are good friends.
It can be done.
a. They are someone elses rules but I found them funny and a few on target.
b. I posted in response to this thread, in TIC fun-—

c. I’m older than you...
I suppose if there had never been an exchange of bodily fluids and enough time has passed (or someone has been “fixed”) it is possible.
LOL!
TMI-—
Or it could be I’m happy to see them happy and I’m happy I’m not part of it....
We had friends who had been married but then divorced. They each married others. A couple of years down the road they ran into each other at a park and well that was it. Both went home told the current spouses sorry and moved out. They quickly divorced the second spouses and got remarried to each other.
Twenty plus years and still together.
I asked the wife how did it happen? She said he had come to watch their daughter play tennis and all of a sudden they looked at each other and each had the same thought, what have we done? They sat at the park talking for hours and decided they had goofed up everything. She said they both felt awful for the others they had hurt, spouses, children, parents, friends.
I agree it can happen. I just think it is very rare. And the older you are, the better.
My wife and I went to high school together. We are 54. We met at our 25 year high school reunion and married a year later. Her STILL best friend (who we also went to high school with) and her husband are now our best friends.
I had the “hots” for this friend of my wifes when we were in high school but never dated her. It is not even a little of an issue now. If anything, I see her as a sister and my wife and her love each other to pieces. She is EXTREMELY happy for my wife that she found me! How can I not appreciate that.
Dang.
my cognitive skills are slipping about as fast as my eyes...
sorry...if u are in those pics and older than me then you sure photography well
are u Cedars of Lebanon.....I have some of that DNA meself.
That’s total crappola. No reason at all you can’t stay friendly with ex’s.
I'm thinking this might get pulled but in my defense - it's no different than looking at an ape.
Despicable people.
No I don’t know what happened to the exs. They weren’t married very long nor did they have children with the second partners. Their own children were glad mom and dad got back together and have turned out well. All in all any way you look at it, it was a awful mess and there were people who got terribly hurt.
My husband and I are amazed at the ease with which some people marry and divorce. In college we knew a couple who had dated for all 4 years, after graduation got married but then divorced after 6 months. As for me, going on 30 years and he’s still my greatest love.
It was a mess all around and people were hurt for which our friends are sorry.
No reflection on you, we've all known supremely selfish people.
>>No reason at all you can’t stay friendly with ex’s.<<
You’ve obviously never seen “When Harry Met Sally”.
If you’ve slept with someone, once one of you finds another, the relationship needs to be permanentaly elimintated. It is disrespectful to your current spouse.
I am reminded of that scene with the ex-boyfriend in Best of Show...
LOL!
I’m early 50’s and yeah,
it’s a combination of hair dye, good genes and a picture in my attic. ;)
Oh, and nothing but Austrian decendence here (though I was probably Lebanese in a former life) :)
Not if you are both mature adults. If the fragile ego protection rules of the child's playground are still in force (as they are in most of American society) then, yes.
That's not cool? Well then it sounds like you need to do the laundry a little more often... (ducking...)
I see all of us as merely disobedient children on the playground.
I am 54 and have seen SEVERAL of these relationships end up with rekindled affairs. And in every case the parties involved were otherwise very “mature” and responsible people.
I was once told by someone that once you’ve done crack there is no going back - the temptation will be there to wrestle with the rest of your life. Likewise, once you have had sex with a particular individual, you will ALWAYS see them as someone you had sex with. The ice has been broken. This does NOT mean it WILL end up in bed again, but the risk is substantially greater that it will than if you had never had sex. Obviously the risk is further increased if you are friends.
The caveot of course is if one or both is no longer sexually desirable which, as we get older, is more and more possible. But even then, the issue is not that you are more “mature”. The temptation simply is not there.
We could never have the relationship with my wifes friend and her husband had either of them been an ex-lover with either of us. Not possible, nor prudent.
Keep in mind, this all has to do only with exes with which you had sex. Again, it is like crack.
