Gee, except for the toilet seat and the Columbus thingy, this could be the girls’ rules in my household.
Disagree with:
toilet seat - everybody, including the girls, puts BOTH the seat AND the lid down. It keeps kids and pets from falling in AND it looks 10 times better. (Always amazed to see photos of houses for sale online and the toilet lid and sometimes both are up - yuck.)
Disagree with directions thing - men won’t ask, women will - men spend forever driving around, understand not wanting to admit they don’t know something, but it’s so much more practical - and I would think guylike - to just ask.
Disagree with crying - women are emotional, that’s hard-wired, you really don’t want one that acts that much like a man.
Agree with all the rest:
sports fine,
going shopping with you except for VERY special and RARE occasions no way,
talk everything to death with your girl friends (my friends who have sisters only, no brothers, drive me crazy with the minutia they can pick over) and leave your guy alone
men are great at solving problems, that’s what they do - if it’s not solvable and some things are not, talk it to death with other women.
