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 feel your pain, if I shaved every day it would be a blood bath.

I got a shave from a barber once, said shaving my beard was the equivalent of trying to shave grit off sand paper.

Needless to say, that rule goes out the window

[CJ Wolf]

what’s the fun in that?

[Jersey Republican Biker Chick]

Ha ha ha ha ha....I LOVE THAT MOVIE!

[ladyjane]

What about day-old stubble with no underwear? Yowser.

[najida]

For this guy, it wouldn't be a problem.

[netmilsmom]

>>There is no Karen there. None at all. She has become an animal. I called her relatives and told them what’s going on. I did so to protect the 13 year old daughter.<<

You did the right thing, Dear Heart!

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

I am married. No notice is required. Dates can spring up at any time and in place.

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

If it is a problem say something. Just be warned that going to go shave first comes out of the 'foreplay' time budget.

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.

Trouble? I never get into trouble. Never lie either. That is because I am practically perfect

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.

Works both ways.

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.

Where exactly would that be? Look away if you can't deal.

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.

Sex is a couples sport. Take responsibilty for your own climax.

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

Yes I do.

8. Ask for directions

My wife is in charge of navigating while I drive.

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

Cell Phone.

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.

Does not apply. Never would have married someone into Y&R

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.

Women are all perceptive and intuitive and into sending signals. So you say. If you can't pick up on when we don't want to talk maybe you are not up to having a man around.

12. Get rid of your holey underwear.

Don't own any.

13. If you can ogle so can we!

I can? Since when?

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

Alright. You can go watch shows on a tiny little tv with a mono speaker. Don't bother asking me how to get the high def hometheater to work.

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

Give me a break, if you stop whining for a second you would realize you could grab us a bear and you would get lots of free snuggling on that couch. Of you could just stay over there... alone... unsnuggled...

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

See, now there is where you are 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.

If you talk while we are distracted you can expect to hear 'uh huh' and 'yes dear' a lot.

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 did not say WHEN. Stop nagging.

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

Whatever. We don't mind the mess too much. Do what you like.

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

The man is not the sole source of all romance in a relationship. Oh, and almost anything can be romantic. If it is only romantic to you and not to him then it is NOT romantic.

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

We know how men thing. You, clearly don't.

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.

Why would I complain? I just would not live there. Feel free to learn consideration while you redecorate and beg me to come back home.

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)

I always wear a t-shirt.

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

See 21.

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.

No problem. Just grab me a beer and a movie and slip into something more comfortable.

I don't know about male body shaving just being for queers. I shave my arm pit hair. It keeps down the stench. It is for both my and my girls olfactory protection and only takes a few minutes every week.

[najida]

Yeah,
but we know the difference between that and “What? Those size 2 panties in the glove compartment must be yours!”

We know our panty size, trust me.

[netmilsmom]

BABY!!!!!!!

[Red Badger]

Used strictly as ornament....and to make their girlfriends jealous.....

[Texas_shutterbug]

Missing a sense of humor, huh?

(Must make note to see which other lists you think are funny.)

[forkinsocket]

Haifa is so gorgeous, but I think her singing & dancing is baddddddd.

My boyfriend (now fiance) used to be obsessed with Bollywood & Indian chicks & was so vehement about never marrying an Arab, even though he’s an Arab himself. He also hated Lebanon & Lebanese people in general. His parents were beyond shocked that he’s ended up with me - a Lebanese!

[najida]

I actually have a bunch of pictures-— a whole set of web pages...need to update them though (you’ll be the first I share them with).

He is real purdy, ain’t he ;)?

[trussell]

I don’t find chest hair and nipples to be totally repulsive. My date could wear a t-shirt if he liked, if he didn’t...I wouldn’t mind.

[netmilsmom]

>>10. I don’t like my brothers and sisters any more than you do. Do not assume that I am the reason that most of them are lazy obnoxious boors. They are that way because they chose to be that way. But I do not need to hear what I already know about them any more than you need to hear why I cannot stand your older sister or your cousin the chronic jailbird. I did not marry any of them and youd did not marry any of my siblings. Try to remember that. Doing so will help me control my blood pressure without resorting to medication. <<

I want you to know that I found this very insightful.
My hubby will appreciate you!

[netmilsmom]

>>He is real purdy, ain’t he ;)?<<

Ooooo, yes!

[Nea Wood]

FR is probably not the best place to post a list like this. But good luck!

[netmilsmom]

And the added bonus has got to be that you know how to make Lebanese food. Yum!

[Arrowhead1952]

When a woman says 7:30, she means 7:30 plus about 45 minutes for incidentals.....

No kidding. I told my wife and daughter they are the only two people who are always late, and will probably be late for their funerals. Didn't make any points that day.

BTW, is it men or women who always use the term 7:30ish? I hate that term.
