i was reading some site and i thought it was fun and interesting...ergo i decided to copy paste it for you all...plus a little education for women doesnt really hurt...hahaha =P...i highlighted the ones i especially liked..enjoy! 1. SportsCenter starts at 11:00 PM and runs an hour. This is a great time to pay bills, put laundry in the dryer or talk to your sister. 2. Two hot dogs and a beer at a baseball game do, in fact, constitute going out to dinner. 3. Unlike you, we essentially want to dress just exactly like all our friends. Thus, you need not go much further than the Gap, J. Crew or the local Patagonia store. 4. If we see you in the morning and at night, why call us at work? 5. Is it too much to ask to have the bra match the underwear? 6. You probably don't want to know what we're thinking about. 7. Silence does not need to be filled with discussions about "us" and "the relationship." 8. Things you can help with: the Sunday crossword, yard work, the dishes, cleaning, and grocery shopping. 9. Things you should let us do alone: figuring out where we are, watching anything on TBS, playing cards, smoking cigars, and picking out the beer. 10. Socks never constitute a gift. 11. Department stores and malls were designed so that when you want to look at bed linen, shower curtains, or handbags, there are always some speakers, tires, or sporting equipment nearby. 12. We don't know anything about handbags. Don't even ask. (this one hits home with my mother especially..lol) 13. We did water the plants. They died anyway. Nobody knows why this happens. 14. Even if you think he's cute, Kevin Costner can't act. 15. Of course, neither can Elle McPherson, but she had the good sense to do "Sirens" rather than "Waterworld." 16. Compromise does not mean that we abandon our position in favor of yours. 17. Sports Illustrated is a better magazine than Cosmopolitan. Just accept that. 18. It's in neither your interest nor ours to take the Quiz together. 19. Unless you are willing to follow the careers of Mo Vaughn, Cal Ripken, David Robinson, Michael Jordan, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Chris Farley, don't expect us to know what Helen Gurley Brown, Hilary Clinton, Naomi Wolf, or your mother are up to. 20. Sex on a weeknight is generally welcome. Three hours of post-coital conversation is not. 21. Dinner out is a pretty good birthday present. Two tickets to a ball game are even better. 22. No, you can't have the remote control. 23. If you must take us with you into Victoria's Secret, never, ever, leave us alone. All the old fat ladies make mean faces at us and only add to our discomfort. 24. Learn to work the toilet seat. You're a big girl. If it's up, put it down. 25. Sometimes, we are not thinking about you. Live with it. 26. Shopping is NOT a sport, and no, we are never going to think of it that way. 27. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine ... Really. 28. Crying is blackmail. 29. Ask for what you want. Let us be clear on this one: Subtle hints do not work. Strong hints do not work. Obvious hints do not work. Just say it! 30. We don't remember dates. Mark birthdays and anniversaries on a calendar. Remind us frequently beforehand. 31. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question. 32. 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. 33. A headache that lasts for 17 months is a problem. See a doctor. (or stomachaches...=P) 34. Check your oil! Please. 35. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. In fact, all comments become null and void after 7 days. 36. If you won't dress like the Victoria's Secret chicks, don't expect us to act like soap opera guys. 37. If something we said can be interpreted in two ways, and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one. 38. Let us ogle. We are going to look anyway. It's genetic. 39. 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. 40. The relationship is never going to be like it was the first two months we were going out. Get over it. 41. ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings. Peach, for example, is a fruit, not a color. Pumpkin is a vegetable. We have no idea what mauve is. 42. If it itches, it will be scratched. We do that. 43. 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. 44. 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. |
