The man\'s side of the story

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...

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

Shopping is NOT a sport. And no, we are never going to think of it that way...

Crying is blackmail...

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!!!

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 give you...

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...

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

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...

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...

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...

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

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

You have enough clothes!!!

You have too many shoes!!!

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.

So they ARE all the same. I'd copy this too, but I'm afraid of getting pasted.

Luckily, I don't have to deal with this. My fiance isn't like this at all.

No fiance is ever like that. When she becomes your wife, she will be exactly like that.

Re: The man\'s side of the story

It is obvious that none of you understand how a woman's mind works. I am not sure how I know how it works, but it seems to be something that came to me naturally.

It always seems that when I try to explain it to some friend, he just gets confused.

I suppose that is why my wife is so happy with me.
My humility might help some.

Ok... this is just blashemy and PROOF that men don't know squat about women!! Any man with even HALF a clue would never say this!! Too many shoes... PFFF!!... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/jpshakehead.gif ... there's no such thing... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif

Evan... trust us... it's true... seriously... and if you don't see these things in your fiance or won't admit that she can and will become these things, then she has you very well trained... and I'd like to meet her... so she can teach me how she did it... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Re: The man\'s side of the story

Back when I was married I actually had this happen to me:

I come home from work and she is pissed off for some reason and NOT talking to me.

Next day...same thing!

Third day..."You don't know why I'm mad at you do you!"
"No"
"Ok then, if you can't figure it out, then I'm not going to tell you!"

She stayed mad for a couple of days and never really forgot or got over it!

Really happened, not a comedy routine, really did happen.
She reminded me of the event when we got divorced several years later!

Hell, Roy. Now even *I'm* mad at you. I just can't believe you could do that! Insensitive jerk. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/jpshakehead.gif
