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.
We can find another woman. Don't try to run our lives. Forget this at your peril.
I was thinking the same. Notice how its top of the list. Come to think of it, these days the women are calling the men.
Reminds me of the time I was talking to an old, Italian doctor I had a few years ago. He was telling me how he worked so hard to please his wife early on in their marriage by conforming to what she wanted him to be - then she spent the remainder of their marriage complaining how he wasn't the man she married!
Yes, it’s humor,
just like this thread

Ugh, I wish this worked in my house. I get grief for looking at this
But he likes this.
*sigh*

Now wait just a minute. This is where I draw the line!
Stop leaving the toilet seat down!! Its easier to drop it then lift it.
I have to admit by the 3rd line it started to sound like my wife. So the remainder of the post I found myself saying yes dear, and I don't know what the hell I just read. LOL!!
~~sigh~~
he is soooo pleasant to look at...
Then shut up already!
And we can
a. Find another man.
b. Be quite happy in our solitude and girlfriends.
No peril felt ;)
Besides, it’s all humor

Maybe she wasn’t talking about your face...
Then throw it away when you do my laundry.
(Ducking for cover)
Ahhh I violently disagree with this! It must be in my Middle Eastern genes, I was programmed to be attracted to dark, hairy guys with stubble. :)
Having facial hair is fine in my book.
But hair is not stubble.
I think my trauma comes in that my Dad would walk up and scrape his stubble across my cheek every once in a while as a joke.
Yikes! Like sandpaper. But it was my Daddy so it was funny at the time.
I just skip long lovemaking sessions with the hubby for a day and then it becomes beard.
Yeah, ‘fraid the T-shirt thing is true. Big turn-off to women to see, as was noted, chest hair and nipples through that shirt. Not a good business persona either, trust me.
And don’t cheat with one of those ribbed tank-top undershirts, aka wife-beaters. Just spring for the classic white crew-neck fruit-of-the-Loom three-pack.
My husband only has to wear a shirt and tie or suit four or five times a year at the most (funerals, Christmas party, business travel, etc) so I keep his dress clothes in a hanging bag in the closet and stash his good belt, a few ties, nice socks and his undershirts in with them so we don’t have to round stuff up at the last minute.
Since it’s out of his sight, I don’t have to screech at him when I discover him wearing his $30 reversible brown/black dress belt holding up some cut-off fatigues he’s wearing while waxing the car with his last white undershirt :-)
>>he is soooo pleasant to look at...<<
My eight year old likes him too but I won’t let her hang pictures because I find myself staring.
*sigh*
No. Just no.
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.
No. If it itches, we scratch.
7. Don't fix it if it's really not broke. You don't need to take everything apart out of curiosity.
Fine. Then when it DOES break and we don't know how to fix it, don't gripe. Had we been allowed to tinker beforehand, we would know how to fix it.
8. Ask for directions
No, not ever. That's why God made GPS.
9. If you said you are going to be somewhere at a certain time, then do it. Don't expect us to wait around.
OK. Same goes for you with getting ready to go out. 15 minutes should not mean "probably an hour".
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.
It's also encoded in our DNA. Why don't you just ask us to breastfeed?
12. Get rid of your holey underwear.
Well, that depends on where the holes are.
14. One remote is ENOUGH... no need to have a control tower in your living room.
You obviously know nothing of consumer electronics
16. Your way is not always the right way. Learn to say- "I was wrong"
99% of the time our way is the right way. You don't hear the admission of wrong when we are because you are too busy with your victory dance.
17. If we can't talk to you during a football game, then don't try to get our attention during Gray's Anatomy.
Ummmm, OK.
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.
I refer you to #1. PLANNING is paramount.
21. We have other friends of the male gender, so leave your jealousy at the door!
It's not jealousy. It's common sense. Given half a chance, your "friend" would bed you in a second and we know it.
24. Hey, we CAN be friends with our ex's- so deal with it!
No. See# 21. :)
>>Then throw it away when you do my laundry.<<
No need to duck! That’s what I do!!!
Although once in a while I leave it just to get a laugh around the bedroom.
