on here, but this is actually cute:

Men's Rules:

1) The floor is considered an acceptable clothing storage location.

2) Never ask me to purchase feminine products. Assume that I will come
home with the wrong thing.

3) When watching TV hugging is always fine because I can still see the
screen. Kissing should only be done during timeouts and commercials.
Questions should also be limited to this period as you stand a much
better chance of getting an immediate response.

4) When we are watching your show and I change the channels during a
commercial, do not hassle me that the commercials have probably
finished, and to change the channel back. I always know when the
timing is right. Also, when we are channel surfing do not ask me to go
back, there was a good reason why I skipped it.

5) If you need help with the laundry, I am more than willing to carry
it from the bedroom to the washer. In my mind this is half the chore
and I am now free to return to the couch.

6) If I mention that a male friend of mine is allowed to do something
it is not necessary for you to call his wife/ girlfriend to discuss
it.

7) If you don't like the way I am driving close your eyes. And I would
appreciate it if you would refrain from making that reverse inhaling
alarmed noise. I haven't hit anything yet and if I do it will be your
fault.

8) I go clothes shopping to buy, never to look.

9) Just tell me what you want me to wear before I get dressed. And
remember that this takes me less than ten minutes no matter what the
occasion is. After all I am getting dressed, not getting ready.

10) Don't ask me if I prefer one outfit over another or if a certain
accessory should be worn or not. I consider this a no-win situation
and would rather just wait for you to get dressed while watching TV.

11) If you want me to put the seat down when I am finished then you
should leave the seat up when you are finished. It's only fair. And
stop giving me a hard time about missing the bowl.

12) I will cook anything as long as it is on the BBQ.

13) Yelling to me across the house sounds exactly like stadium crowd
background noise to me. I am not ignoring you.

14) When I am on the phone to my pals, I usually talk about important
stuff, and I'm finished talking quickly. I don't phone someone and
talk for hours about stuff I could've said when I saw them in person
earlier.

15) "Housework" is not a word I like, and actually doing any of it, I
like even less. So this is a non starter, don't even think of
suggesting this to me.
