OK, this is the cutest and most accurate of the lists I have saved. :)

[najida]

Totally TIC humor.

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

It has been my experience that this is the other way around.....

[ThomasThomas]

I must assume that since you numbered them that we can ignore anything past #1.

[subterfuge]

Here’s mine for all the women I know.

1. Stop telling me what to do.

[Moonman62]

I hope a woman like this would give me the list right up front so I could have nothing to do with her.

rules guys wish girls knew:
we want sex. lots of it. if you don’t give us plenty of opportunity to practice, don’t expect us to get it right when you want it once a month.

[ArrogantBustard]

2. Shave every day.

Sorry, dear ... you lost me right there.

Last time I shaved was ... hmmmm ...

Oh, yes. I had facial surgery several months ago. Had to shave for that.

Had to buy a razor.

[Tax-chick]

Unacceptable thing to do is sit there and pretend you're listening and just say "uh huh" and "yes Dear"- it's condescending.

I actually think this is okay. He says "Uh-huh, sure, whatever ..." and then I head for Amazon.com or Ignatius Press with the credit card :-).

How many men does it take to change a light bulb in the kitchen?

None. She can cook my dinner in the dark, barefoot and pregnant with a smile on her face for having such a wonderful man in her life that allows her to bear his children.

[HoosierHawk]

They're not totally unreasonable. But shave every day??

That's just cruel.

[absolootezer0]

yeah, i have a little problem with the “shave everyday” thing too. it takes me 3 days to grow five o’clock shadow.

[absolootezer0]

rofl! that’s what he gets for pretending to listen.

[ladyjane]

I think day old stubble is very attractive. My friends do too. Obviously not for formal occasions but otherwise it’s okay.

[mnehring]

You touched a nerve with this one ->

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

We need to take things apart to know how they work just in case it breaks and we need to fix it.

[MNJohnnie]

Rule #1. Rules are only for guys, Women reserve the right to change their minds at random, on a whimsy, or for no apparent reason what so ever.

Rule #2. What is your is “ours” what is her’s is her’s alone.

[SeanOGuano]

I noticed several things on the list where one could reply “Back at ya.”

[mnehring]

it takes me 3 days to grow five o'clock shadow.

I shave at 7am and have a 5 o'clock shadow by noon.

[APFel]

Huh. I wonder what sort of guy inspired this list? Probably not someone worth having around.

In my experience, this is a list of complete cliches that situation comedies love to draw from. Absolute rubbish.

Is the t-shirt rule true? I had no idea and I hardly ever wear one under a dress shirt. < But I’m willing to change if it’s unacceptable >
