Just So The Women Know...

[Mrs. Bro. Adam]

Why do women date before marrying?

So that they can train their future husbands!

Ahh...I kill me!

[quote name='IcePrincessKRS' date='Apr 20 2004, 06:53 PM'] Yes those are so right.... Teresa's 2 rules are so right. [/quote]
hehe....yeah....

[IcePrincessKRS]

Reasonable, eh, crusader 1234? Lets take a look at these "reasonable" rules.

[quote]> 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. [/quote]

Start cleaning the bathroom and YOU men can dictate how the toilet seat is to be left.

[quote]> 1. Sunday sports. It's like the full moon
> or the changing of the tides. Let it be.
[/quote]

And lets not forget Monday night football and basketball games in the middle of the week.... or baseball for that matter....

[quote] 1. Shopping is NOT a sport.
> And no, we are never going to think of it that way. [/quote]

And what dingbat said it was? Men don't listen very well, proof is right there in that statement. lol

[quote]1. Crying is blackmail. [/quote]

Crying about anything? I beg to differ. If I break my leg and cry because it hurts how is that blackmail?

[quote] 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! [/quote]

Hints are so that we can try and delude ourselves that you might actually be thoughtful and come up with something on your own. If y'all paid attention better hints would work just fine. lol

[quote] 1. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every
question.
[/quote]

I'll grant you that one.

[quote]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. [/quote]

When we marry you and you move us hours away from all our girlfriends and sisters you darn well better show us sympathy. Its only "reasonable" that we should expect you to be there for us, isn't that part of what those vows are about?

[quote] 1. A headache that lasts for 17 months is a problem.
> See a doctor.[/quote]

Agreed. Its probably a tumor.

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

If you keep saying the same dumb things and do the same dumb things over and over its perfectly admissable to bring up past events in arguments to demonstrate our point.

[quote]1. If you won't dress like the Victoria's Secret girls, don't
expect us to
act like soap opera guys.
[/quote]

Soap opera guys are gross and they sleep around. What woman wants that?

[quote]1. If you think you're fat, you probably are. Don't ask us. [/quote]

Now thats a good way to make a girl feel good about herself.

[quote]> 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.
[/quote]

Cop out.

[quote]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.
[/quote]

If my hands are full or I am already busy and all the guy is doing is sitting on his bum, doing a favor and following instructions isn't going to kill him.

[quote]1. Whenever possible, please say whatever you have to say during
commercials.
[/quote]

If a woman is that low on your priority list then you shouldn't have a wife/girlfriend.

[quote]1. Christopher Columbus did not need directions and neither do we. [/quote]

Yeah, and I love living in India... oh WAIT, thats right, this isn't India. Guess Chris shoulda asked for directions after all.

[quote]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 or a vegtable something like that.
> We have no idea what mauve is.[/quote]

Which is why most women don't say "Honey will you grab me my emerald sweater" we say "Will you grab me my green sweater."

[quote]1. If it itches, it will be scratched. We do that. [/quote]

I've noticed. Ew. Can't you all at least try and be discreet about it?

[quote]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. [/quote]

haha Now thats a lie! You don't act like nothing is wrong.

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

Fair enough.

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

For some men this holds true, but I know guys who this does not fly with.

[quote]1. 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[/quote]

or any number of other things....However women only ask what men are thinking when they should be thinking about the woman.

[quote]1. You have enough clothes. [/quote]

Get pregnant, gain 35 pounds, have your hips and butt widen, lose most of the weight but still have wider hips and rear, and THEN tell me I don't need new clothes.

[quote] 1. You have too many shoes. [/quote]

I have just enough shoes.

[Mrs. Bro. Adam]

You know why each of the rules is numbered one?

It's because men can't count BEYOND one!

[HomeTeamFamily]

ok now lets look at your responses

[quote]Start cleaning the bathroom and YOU men can dictate how the toilet seat is to be left. [/quote]

many guys i do know do clean the bathroom

[quote]And lets not forget Monday night football and basketball games in the middle of the week.... or baseball for that matter.... [/quote]

those that are that important should be planned around, we will let you know....MNF starts at nine and many basketball games are only important enough to be on....not religiously watched.....Super Bowl, Indy 500, and march madness should be assumed

[quote]And what dingbat said it was? Men don't listen very well, proof is right there in that statement. lol[/quote]

i dont care who you ask, you need to be fit to shop....there is competition (see day after thanksgiving)....and there is score (in the form of a credit card bill....see golf scoring rules)


[quote]Crying about anything? I beg to differ. If I break my leg and cry because it hurts how is that blackmail?[/quote]

you know exactly what we are talking about and dont try to pretend you dont

[quote]Hints are so that we can try and delude ourselves that you might actually be thoughtful and come up with something on your own.  If y'all paid attention better hints would work just fine. lol[/quote]

cooooooppppppp ouuuuuutttttttttt

[quote]I'll grant you that one.[/quote]

and rightly so

[quote]When we marry you and you move us hours away from all our girlfriends and sisters you darn well better show us sympathy. Its only "reasonable" that we should expect you to be there for us, isn't that part of what those vows are about?[/quote]

yes it is what vows are about.....however, there is such a thing as a phone....i know you know how to use it.....we will make sure there is a working one in the house at all times

[quote]If you keep saying the same dumb things and do the same dumb things over and over its perfectly admissable to bring up past events in arguments to demonstrate our point.[/quote]

granted....but it must be a chronic mistake....not forgetting what we had for dinner that one night when we were both pissed off and you needed something to be mad at

[quote]Soap opera guys are gross and they sleep around. What woman wants that?[/quote]

youd be suprised

[quote]Now thats a good way to make a girl feel good about herself.[/quote]

ok then you tell us how to answer "do i look fat in this?"

[quote]Cop out.[/quote]

ill give you that one

[quote]If a woman is that low on your priority list then you shouldn't have a wife/girlfriend.[/quote]

again ill agree that is pretty sleazy.....however, during the major sporting events, please try your hardest to wait....thanks on behalf of all guys

[quote]Yeah, and I love living in India... oh WAIT, thats right, this isn't India. Guess Chris shoulda asked for directions after all. [/quote]

we will admit that we are lost when you admit that you cant read the map

[quote]Which is why most women don't say "Honey will you grab me my emerald sweater" we say "Will you grab me my green sweater."[/quote]

so what about paint.....how are eggshell white, cream white, white, and enamel white different?

[quote]I've noticed. Ew. Can't you all at least try and be discreet about it?[/quote]

we try....sometimes it cant be avoided....if you dont like the way it looks, dont look at it

[quote]haha Now thats a lie! You don't act like nothing is wrong.[/quote]

yes we dont act like nothing is wrong....however, you lie when you say nothing is wrong in the first place, most of the time

[quote]or any number of other things....However women only ask what men are thinking when they should be thinking about the woman.[/quote]

ill give you this as well

[quote]Get pregnant, gain 35 pounds, have your hips and butt widen, lose most of the weight but still have wider hips and rear, and THEN tell me I don't need new clothes.[/quote]

its called goodwill honey.....you can let go

[quote]I have just enough shoes. [/quote]

which is probably 7 more than you NEED

[Mrs. Bro. Adam]

Women rule, men drool...must we go through this again?

[HomeTeamFamily]

ooooo what a comeback

[Mrs. Bro. Adam]

See..women don't need to resort to tounge-sticking-outings...that's why God gave us the brains, and men the 'muscles'

[IcePrincessKRS]

[quote]many guys i do know do clean the bathroom[/quote]

Thats funny 'cause NONE of the guys I know clean it.

[quote]those that are that important should be planned around, we will let you know....MNF starts at nine and many basketball games are only important enough to be on....not religiously watched.....Super Bowl, Indy 500, and march madness should be assumed[/quote]

I guess its a good thing my husband doesn't watch sports because my life doesn't revolve around planning what I can and cannot do due to March Madness being on the tube.

[quote]i dont care who you ask, you need to be fit to shop....there is competition (see day after thanksgiving)....and there is score (in the form of a credit card bill....see golf scoring rules)
[/quote]

lol Fit? Not necessarily. When was the last time you went out to do serious shoping the day after Thanksgiving?

[quote]you know exactly what we are talking about and dont try to pretend you dont
[/quote]

*snicker* Whatever are you talking about? I only cry if my feelings really ARE hurt.

[quote]cooooooppppppp ouuuuuutttttttttt[/quote]

Can you give me one good reason WHY hints don't work other than the fact that y'all don't pay attention?

[quote]yes it is what vows are about.....however, there is such a thing as a phone....i know you know how to use it.....we will make sure there is a working one in the house at all times[/quote]

I dunno about the other ladies here, but my sisters and friends all work, they are tough to get ahold of 99% of the time now that I'm not living close by. My husband also works from home and does phone support so I can't use the phone for an hour at a time whenever I want to.

[quote]granted....but it must be a chronic mistake....not forgetting what we had for dinner that one night when we were both pissed off and you needed something to be mad at[/quote]

I guess its a good thing I don't do that and only bring up the chronic mistakes. lol

[quote]youd be suprised[/quote]

I don't know any women who'd want a guy who acted like soap opera guys.

[quote]ok then you tell us how to answer "do i look fat in this?"[/quote]

You can say, "No, I think you look great" (my husband really does think that even when I feel fat) OR, say " I like that other outfit better" and mention the outfit you like better.

[quote]again ill agree that is pretty sleazy.....however, during the major sporting events, please try your hardest to wait....thanks on behalf of all guys[/quote]

If you want that one you'll have to send her out with the girls, shopping or something, or cultivate an interest of sports in her. lol

[quote]we will admit that we are lost when you admit that you cant read the map
[/quote]

I can read a map. I cannot fold a map. If men didn't get lost so much women wouldn't have to worry about reading maps in the first place. lol

[quote]so what about paint.....how are eggshell white, cream white, white, and enamel white different?
[/quote]

Gloss, satin finish, matte finish, some have a hint of yellow or pink in them, others more of a bluish tint. Duh.

[quote]we try....sometimes it cant be avoided....if you dont like the way it looks, dont look at it[/quote]

I do, but its kind of hard to miss when the guy is standing right next to you. Ew. Ew. Ew.

[quote]yes we dont act like nothing is wrong....however, you lie when you say nothing is wrong in the first place, most of the time[/quote]

I can't speak for other women, but when I say "nothing" I mean "nothing that you can fix so why bother telling you."

[quote]its called goodwill honey.....you can let go[/quote]

Sure I can, but saying I have enough when half don't fit is inaccurate at best. I have gotten rid of what I have no hope of ever fitting into again.

[quote]which is probably 7 more than you NEED [/quote]

I have 1 pair that in cool weather I wear everyday, and then a couple pairs of flip flops which I wear everyday in warm weather (they wear out so I have back up pairs in case one breaks or if I want my shoes to match my outfit better), I have a few pairs of dress shoes--white for white outfits, black for black outfits, brown for anything that white or black looks dumb with. The only unnecssary pair I have is my cow pattern boots, but those are just too darn cool.

[voiciblanche]

Okay. I want to explain something -

Women like men. They want to make them happy.
Men like women. They want to make them happy.


Women will pretty much do anything for you, guys, as long as you APPRECIATE IT! If they clean the kitchen, per say, don't come home and demand why dinner isn't ready. Say, "Oh, the kitchen looks so clean. You've worked hard; would you like me to cook dinner?" You would be all set if you just did that, and the woman would feel all special all the time and lucky to have you, and she'd let you watch your March Madness. So, there you go. Ms. Bling-Bling might not agree with me, , but it's a pretty good rule of thumb.
