She sounds like she wasn’t the brightest bulb in the box.

After being in the business world for a long time, I was always wary of a man who didn’t look at my chest at least once during the conversation.

I heard a story from some guys at work. They were at a technology fair of some sort showing off a project of theirs involving tracking eye movements. They were trying to explain what it was all about to some older woman and she was not getting it. At the time they had the rig on some guy and a display was tracking where his eyes were focusing and where they had focused. A young woman passed by and the display showed 'focus' points on the head, chest, and er, lower than that. The older woman immediately said, "Ah, I get it now."

want my hubby to do two things. One, love me like he does (bathroom, kitchen, while hanging wallpaper [yes, that was different])

Okay, I understand the bathroom and the kitchen, but he makes love to you while hanging wallpaper?

Talented!

Laz, I’m so sorry. I watch “Intervention” on A&E and the pain inflicted on loved ones when someone becomes an addict is heart breaking. Be well, sw

Hahaha... I think you hit the nail on the head.. I don’t know why more women don’t teach there daughters the fundamentals of men.. and stop letting feminists fill their heads with mush.

I have no issue with women who are emotional per se, my problems are with the ones who are, and then pretend or refuse to admit that they are. Women/girls just need to recognize that they are being emotional at times, and there is nothing inately wrong with it.. just recognize it that’s all.

Men, generally, are decent... not all mind you, pleanty of them are not the kind you want to be dating your daughter, especially in the teen years... when even the “good” guys have more testosterone than their bodies can handle. However we are guys, we are relatively base creatures.. yes there are exceptions, but generally speaking we’re pretty base.

Yes, if we see an attractive woman, we are going to notice, some of us may even oogle (I try my best not to do this, but I can’t claim I’ve never ever done it) but that doesn’t mean we don’t love the one we are with. Just like when you sneak that sly glance at another guy, that you think we don’t know happens.

ALso, because we are BASE, generally speaking we mean EXACTLY what we say.. we aren’t hiding hidden messages or subtle meanings in what we are saying, we mean pretty much what we say... don’t write things into it, and in the same vein don’t try to communicate with us using subtleties and vagueries.. just be blunt, we (again generally) are just not parsing every word of everything said for hidden or underlying meanings.

Also, as a guy, YES... we can think of nothing... I know for the interconnected nature of the female brain this seems impossible, but not only can we be thinking of nothing... we can do it for hours.. we aren’t trying to avoid intimacy when you ask us what we are thinking about.... most often we are indeed thinking of nothing.

Yes, feeling appreciated for a guy is important.. if all we have to look forward to when we get home from the office is nagging.. we aren’t going to want to come home.. and that’s just one step closer to finding what we need somewhere else.

Take the time to keep up your appearance... I know I know... not fair, but like it or not, letting oneself go is a bad bad trap. Men are visual creatures, we are... And letting oneself go, will have an impact, even on the nicest most loving guy on the planet over time. Now I’m not talking medical issue stuff, where something cannot be healped.. but if you let yourself go consciously far enough, even the guy who truly does love you will not feel appreciated.

Give your guy a good reason to come home, and no you aren’t guaranteed that he’ll never stray... sadly.. but odds are pretty damned good you’ll have a long and happy life together.

This list is missing the most obvious rule of all.

26. Wimmen make the rules, and only wimmen may know all of the rules. If a man learns all of the rules, some or all of the rules must immediately be changed.

So, you don’t want to see us scratching (#5). We’ll stop the day you stop adjusting your bras publically. In other words, you’re gonna have to deal with our scratching ‘cuz no way in hell can you stop your hourly adjustments.

Hard to imagine that wimmen have a rule about punctuality ...

Our underwear is none of your concern, unless you want our input on yours. I’m quite sure you don’t.

If you don’t want to clean up after us like our moms, stop talking down to us as though you are our mom.

LOL. I see many more female nipples displayed publically through their tops than men’s - and I am totally OK with that :-) Of course, I spend exactly no time ever looking at men’s chests.

You forgot that the rules change hourly and randomly.

Also, I’ve heard that it is a rare man that will take the first step on divorce.

If you keep him happy, he will be there.

You’re right. At any given moment there are only 25 active rules. Out of a total list numbering well into the hundreds.

People look at my face, not my chest, when I’m talking to them. One of the benefits of being a 34B.

Fine. But you still can't wear a white shirt to a water park.
