THE RULES (FROM MEN TO WOMEN)

  1.  If you think you're fat, you probably are.  Don't ask us.
  2.  Learn to work the toilet seat -- if it's up, put it down.
  3.  Don't cut your hair.  Ever.
  4.  Birthdays, Valentines, and Anniversaries are not quests to see if we can find the perfect present, again!
  5.  If you ask a question that you don't want an answer to, expect an answer that you don't want to hear.
  6.  Sometimes, we're not thinking about you.  Live with it.
  7.  Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as navel lint, the shotgun formation, and monster trucks.
  8.  Get rid of your cat.  And no, it's not different; it's just like every other cat.
  9.  Dogs are better than ANY cats.  Period.
10.  Sunday = sports.  It's like the full moon or the changing of the tides.  Let it be.
11.  Shopping is not a sport.
12.  Anything you wear is fine.  Really.
13.  You have enough clothes.
14.  You have too many shoes.
15.  Crying is blackmail.  Use it if you must, but don't expect us to like it.
16.  Your brother is an idiot, your ex-boyfriend is an idiot, and your dad probably is, too.
17.  Ask for what you want.  Subtle hints don't work.
18.  No, we don't know what day it is.  We never will.  Mark anniversaries on a calendar.
19.  Most guys own two or three pairs of shoes -- what makes you think we'd be any good at choosing which pair, out of 30, would look good with your dress?
20.  "Yes" and "No" are perfectly acceptable answers.
21.  A headache that lasts for 17 months is a problem.  See a doctor.
22.  Your mom doesn't have to be our best friend.
23.  Foreign films are best left to foreigners.
24.  Check your oil.
25.  Don't give us 50 rules when 25 will do.
26.  Don't fake it.  We'd rather be ineffective than deceived.
27.  It is neither in your best interest nor ours to take the Cosmo quiz together.
28.  Anything we said 6 or 8 months ago is inadmissible in an argument.  All comments become null and void after 7 days.
29.  If you don't dress like the Victoria's Secret girls, don't expect us to act like soap-opera guys.
30.  If something we said can be interpreted two ways, and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one.
31.  Let us ogle.  If we don't look at other women, how can we know how pretty you are?
32.  Don't rub the lamp if you don't want the genie to come out.
33.  You can either ask us to do something OR tell us how you want it done -- not both.
34.  Whenever possible, please say whatever you have to say during commercials or time-outs.
35.  Christopher Columbus didn't need directions, and neither do we.
36.  Women wearing Wonderbras and low-cut blouses lose their right to complain about having their boobs stared at.
37.  Consider Golf a mini-vacation from you.  We need it, just like you do.
38.  Telling us that the models in the men's magazines are air-brushed makes you look jealous and petty, and it's certainly not going to deter us from scoping the magazines.
39.  The relationship is never going to be like it was during the first two months when we were going out.
