    Mens rules for Wives:

    Women, learn to work the toilet seat. You're a big girl. If it's up, put it down. We need it up, you need it down. You don't hear us complaining about you leaving it down.

    Birthdays, Valentines, and Anniversaries are not considered by us to be opportunities to see if we can find the perfect present again!

    Sometimes we are not thinking about you. Live with it.

    Sunday = sports. It's like the full moon or the changing of the tides. Let it be.

    Don't cut your hair. Ever. Long hair is always more attractive than short hair. One of the big reasons guys fear getting married is that married women always cut their hair, and by then you're stuck with her.

    Ask for what you want. Subtle hints do not work! Strong hints do not work! Obvious hints do not work! Just say it!

    We don't remember dates. . . .Period!!

    Most guys own three pairs of shoes - tops. What makes you think we'd be any good at choosing which pair, out of thirty, would look good with your dress?

    Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.

    Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That's what we do. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.

    A headache that lasts for 17 months is a problem. See a doctor.

    Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. In fact, all comments become null and void after 7 days.

    If you won't dress like the Victoria's Secret girls, don't expect us to act like soap opera guys.

    If you think you're fat, you probably are. Don't ask us. We've been tricked before!!

    If something we said can be interpreted two ways, and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one.

    Let us ogle. We are going to look anyway; it's genetic.

    You can either ask us to do something or tell us how you want it done. Not both. If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself.

    Whenever possible, please say whatever you have to say during commercials.

    Christopher Columbus did not need directions, and neither do we.

    The relationship is never going to be like it was the first two months we were going out. Get over it. And quit whining to your girlfriends.

    ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings. Peach, for example, is a fruit, not a color. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is.

    If it itches, it will be scratched. We do that.

    We are not mind readers and we never will be. Our lack of mind-reading ability is not proof of how little we care about you.

    If we ask what is wrong and you say "nothing", we will act like nothing's wrong. We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle.

    If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, expect an answer you don't want to hear.

    Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as navel lint, the shotgun formation, or monster trucks.

    Foreign films are best left to foreigners. (Unless it's Bruce Lee or some war flick where it doesn't really matter what they're saying anyway.)

    BEER is as exciting for us as handbags are for you.

    Yes, I know, I have to sleep on the couch tonight, but did you know, it's like camping.

          You jerks should have warned me about not mentioning strip club antics from years past. Boy did that conversation go downhill fast...

          On the plus side, this is just a long term girlfriend, not a wife

          Come to think of it, maybe too long term... BWAHAHAHAHA

              eh, if your good, you can easily turn trips to the strip club into girlfriend points.

              its all about the spin. if you spin it the right way, a trip to the strip club can easily earn you a free dance and sex from the GF. done it easily half a dozen times with my GF.

                oh you poor sucker, another one bites the dust. that is how they get you. one day you are minding your own business, next one gives a smile, then wham you have a ring on you.


                if she ask what you would like for dinner. dont answer anything you want, start throwing out ideas. and dont think you will ever figure them out, any of the above rules or guide lines can be reverse at any time.

                  Oh they are easy to figure out once you come to the realization that they never forget anything.

                  Watch the video I posted up above and it will help you understand them.

                  There are times to speak, and times you had better keep silent.
                  You can know which is which by understanding the way their minds work.

                    I spun it well the first time . The problem in my case is twofold: 1) the remembering everything thing, 2) she is starting to become a femi-nazi (in a lib-tard college town) so this just recently became an issue.

                        Don't look!!!

                        This advise was given to me by a really good friend of mine and I did not heed the warning. So please read and follow the warning or you will be mentally scarred for life!! During childbirth do not let the morbid sense of curiosity get the better of you. Do not!!, I repeat, do not look at what's going on down below the sheet!! It will ruin you for life!! I'm sure you have seen all the movies made of childbirth, this is no comparison to actually watching what is happening to your spouses private parts. Remember the reason you got married in the 1st place, let's be honest is SEX. Childbirth, yields that area of a woman, that has brought you so much pleasure, to a screeching halt. 1st you can't have sex for at least 6 months (while things heal) 2nd now that you have a newborn, you and your spouse are freaking too tired all the time to have sex!! and 3rd Watching childbirth will ruin You, all those times you thought your were "Tearing that up" leads you to realize that You were doing absolutely nothing, I mean nothing!!! I don't care how big you think you are, You'll never compare to a whole child coming out of there!!!!

                        So remember for your sake, DO NOT WATCH!!!

                          To be fair...points one and two happen regardless of whether you watch or not. So really you should mostly avoid looking because why add insult to injury?

                          And six months is longer than I've heard for most women. Ask your doctor for an episiotomy...it will reduce damage and quicken recovery time. Also ask him to put an extra stitch or two in when he closes it back up.

                            Well don't have to worry about having any more kids (2 is enough and I've been fixed, that's another completely different story), as for the extra stitch, that sounds all good but if your wife is already in a crazy mood having gone through so much pain, your pleasure later in life is not something she will be interested in. Any comments on extra stiches will have a large price to pay later in the marriage.

                            as for the 6 months yea it's 6 weeks (according to doctor) but as I said no sleep with a screaming baby turns it into 6 months at least.
