Rules that Girls Wish Guys Knew
April 18, 2008

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.

Well, when I'm half asleep, get up to go to the bathroom during the middle of the night and the seat is up, I fall in!

After being awoken by my screams a couple of times when first married, my dh learned to put the seat down real fast!

How is it different from this thread? Equal humor.

(However, I’ve had one friend already point out the irony of it all) :)

I guess I’m looking at it more from a business perspective.

If my husband were dating, he’d have a whole lot more to worry about than his dress code :-)

It’s humor, just like the Guys List-— TIC.

Well, it's an ATTEMPT, anyway. In the same vein as "chicken crosses the road" or "guy walks into bar". Tired and cliche.

If you hadn't billed the list as "accurate" I wouldn't have said a thing. Just like on that "guys list" nonsense.

>>Crying is emotional blackmail. <<

I have found that if a woman cries silently, it’s real.
Loud with a lot of hand motions, blackmail.

Sometimes tears come. I refuse to let my hubby see me cry. Even when my cat died.

All I ask then is that you post this in both places.

And honestly, it was the least silly and vitriolic of the lists out there. Seriously :)

Mmmmmm, Lebanese food is the BEST! Mujaddarah, hummus, babba ganoush, that cauliflower stuff with the almonds and golden raisins, lamb, flatbread. And those wonderful semolina cookies! Yum,yum yum!

There is no “I” in “team”.

But there sure as heck is one in “wife”.
Not to mention the “US” in “husband”.

That about sums it up.

A Dear Abby column:

Dear Abby,

A couple of women moved in across the hall from me. One is a middle-aged gym teacher, and the other is a social worker in her mid twenties. These two women go everywhere together, and I’ve never seen a man go into their apartment or come out. Do you think they could be Lebanese?

Truth be told!

We just had our largest chain go bankrupt after the owner was found to be sending money to Hezbolla. La Shish.

And the Christian one closed too. Boooo.

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.

I didn't know you were into that kind of stuff.
