The Man Rules

[reelemin]

of course Barb - that is always true -

[hondarider550]

wow... you have these women figured out perfectly!!!! What is a man to do??

[Rebel9921]

Thats the other thing... when a woman says "fine" in any possible sentence... its not fine... reason for this...

F- Freaked out

I- Insecure

N- Neurotic

E- Emotional

As far as we men know... one of those displayed is NEVER a good news...

and i beg to differ with you two!

Is that a fishing contest threat I'm reading?? Didn't we try this last year and it never got off the ground. ?

[Quetico]

I'd be game for a fishing contest. Men vs women. I spent last winter giving mngirl ice fishing lessons. Student will never beat teacher.

[mngirl]

It's official, men are more confusing then women. You act like simple creatures, beware, it's a scam!

Yep, seems that we extended an invite to the men to show up Jan 10th for our GTG but no one was interested.

[UdeLakeTom]

My wife wouldn't let me go!!!!

And that was after I explained the "man rules".

Scam??? Wow interesting thinking... hmm hmm

[Quetico]

Actually we are extremely simple creatures. Being difficult and complex is too much effort for the its little benefit.

[mngirl]

That's right, I'm onto you men... pure evil... but still fun to poke fun at, and usually easy.

What does it mean when men say it? I've heard my fair share of "I'm fine" or "It's fine" from men and it's not true. Do we apply the equality standard here also?

[Rebel9921]

what equality standard??? We men never hear stories of the wife sleeping on the couch while the husband sleeps in the bed... just other way around...

My favorite is "we need to do this". We need to clean out the garage or we need to paint the house or boy we really need to get the lawn mowed. When ever I hear "we need to" It really means you need to get this done and soon. I cant even imagine the the reaction I would get if I came in and said we really need to get the laundry folded and put away.

You are soooooooooooo right on this. Where IS the equality?

[Quetico]

Its one of those issues where women cry for equality but in reality what they want is equal but better.

[glenn57]

could be, yep!

[glenn57]

excuse #1 jan 10th didnt work for me. excuse #1 didnt think it got off the ground. excuse #1, i hate millacs lake.

[glenn57]

ULT, bring the wife with!

Sorry guys, not always true. I slept on the couch for 2 months after my husband came home from the hospital from a devastating illness. He has ticked me off so bad I have slept in the car rather than be in the same house with him.

I actually hear this phrase from my husband all the time, and you know who does it.....ME!! He got the truck stuck in the ditch recently, came in the house and informed me that I had to call AAA to get it out. I could relate a books worth of equality stories, but they would really make me wonder why I have stayed married 38 years.

[UdeLakeTom]

And lose my excuse????

Rule nr 1....whenever you get the chance, blame it on the other half.

Don't forget Rule #1. We like sleeping on the couch. It's like camping.

If said over and over we start to believe it.

Around our house "we need to do this" means I get to do it while she watches me. That is the we thing I guess.
