Thanks for the compliment, although I noticed it's a classic woman compliment—it starts with a compliment to me, but then it ends by implying that I could only be that smart if I were a woman.

Hilarious...

I was married and I didn't write these. It was just something I saw on my FB timeline and I thought it was funny.

I saw this on my FB stream and thought I'd share it here. It's pretty funny. We always hear 'the rules' from the female side now here are the rules from the male side (please note: these are all numbered #1 on purpose!).


1. Men are not mind readers.

1. 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.

1. Crying is blackmail.

1. 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!

1. Yes and no are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.

1. 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.

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

1. If you think you're fat, you probably are. Don't ask us.

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

1. 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.

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

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

1. 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.

1. 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.

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

1. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine...Really.

1. Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as football or motor sports.

1. You have enough clothes.

1. You have too many shoes.

1. I am in shape. Round is a shape!

1. Thank you for reading this. Yes, I know, I have to sleep on the couch tonight.. But did you know men really don't mind that? It's like camping...

A guy says anything and they're being bitter or immature or whimpy, but if a woman says anything they're just "disagreeing". I guess with that in mind it would be kind of hard to have a mature relationship, because a mature relationship requires honesty on both sides.

Dude, you know women—they never admit to anything. Take the other guy's advice; just smile and walk away.

Reminds me of the Glory Hole...

No one. I already have someone to kiss and I met her on another dating forum.

That's usually the reaction you get in this place. I've rarely seen anyone reply with any kind of understanding or compassion. Just jump right in and start bashing. It's a shame really, but then wasn't that the point of your original post :)

I guarantee you, for all their talk, if a nice guy really did walk into their life they probably wouldn't even recognize him. Or, since most women seem to be on the defensive, they'd most likely ostracize the poor bastard before they even got a chance to know him.

Lol...yeah, I did notice that.

Indeed.

So true...[sly smile]

Lol...really. If I actually did I'd die of shock and then I wouldn't get to enjoy it.

I understand this, but I can only speak from my own experience. And in my experience the only women I've known have reacted negatively to me being the "nice guy". There were even a couple who said they loved the fact that I was a nice guy, but in the end they left, which speaks more truth than what they said.

I can understand what the OP said, because I have seen it myself—being nice didn't do anything for me with the women I was with. In fact, it seemed to turn a lot of them off. So (from my own experience, mind you) I have not seen any proof that this "nice guy" thing actually works.

It only stands to reason then perhaps there's some truth to not being so nice—not in the essence of being a jerk, but maybe just not being too nice, because maybe the woman starts getting used to that and you become boring to her.

Just a thought....

Because it's far easier to say that than face the alternative.

The whole point of the thread is that we have tried being the nice guy and it hasn't done us any good.

disillusioned

I never would have bought this statement before, but now after all the relationships I've had I can see that it's probably true. I have been decent, loving and attentive with all the women in my life, and yet this did not make any difference. Obviously giving women what they claim they want doesn't work, so I'm thinking the OP is on to something. Holding things back and not giving of myself so freely—even if it means being a bit of jerk in the process—might not be a bad idea.
