Do you think us ladies should listen to what the man calls his laws? all can answer.?

MAN LAWS

We always hear "the rules" from the female side.

Now here are the rules from the male side.

These are our rules! Please note... these are all numbered "1" on purpose!

1. Men are NOT mind readers.

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.

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

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

1. Crying is blackmail.

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!

1. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.

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.

1. A headache that lasts for 17 months is a Problem. See a doctor.

1. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument.

In fact, all comments become null and void after 7 Days.

1. If you won't dress like the Victoria's Secret girls,

don't expect us to act like soap opera guys.

1. If you think you're fat, you probably are. Don't ask us.

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.

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.

1. Whenever possible, please say whatever you have to say during commercials.

1. If it itches, it will be scratched. We do that.

1. If we ask what is wrong and you say "nothing," we will act like nothing is wrong.

We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle.

1. If you ask a question you don't want an answer to,

expect an answer you don't want to hear.

1. When we have to go somewhere in a hurry,

absolutely anything you wear is fine. REALLY!

1. You have enough clothes.

1. You have too many shoes.

1. I am in shape. Round IS a shape!

1. 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.

Pass this to as many men as you can - to give them a laugh.

Pass this to as many women as you can - to give them a bigger laugh!

    Really you should talk to a lawyer, to be sure what laws have been violated and what you should do. Also he should give all the gifts back. He doesnt need them and they are a constant reminder of infedelity in the marriage. Mabey if she gets the gifts back she will go away, because she will be satisfied. Talk to her again. Dont laugh at her. Be sincere and tell her you love your husband and you are a family and are going to always stay together. Tell her that she is being a homewrecker and needs to find a man who doesnt already have a women. Also do go to counceling with him. If you love each other and are determined to work it out you have to adress your problems. Dont let him off the hook to easily. Make him prove he is trustworthy. Good luck. You are a strong women who has endured much. It will get harder before it gets easier.

    I wouldn't call them LAWS, but they are good guidelines. In my opinion if women understood the power of using even half off them (not agree with, just understand) life would be much simpler for both.

    I agree with Monterey on the toilet seat thing.

    As far as shoes and clothes go, I love the look of a well-dressed, sexy-dressed, and/or cutesy-dressed woman in heels. So I don't care how much of either there is. That's what spare/guest bedrooms and storage areas are for (well that's one of the reasons)...And if you're going shopping at Victoria Secret's or anyplace like you can definitely count me in!

    I dont have any problems with my wife, she has nothing to do. Luckily and most blokes will agree...there is a thing called a house fairy. I drop clothes in a heap...next day they are ironed...same with the kitchen and every other room. I dont shop and yet the fridge always has food in it. I sometimes hear my wife playing in the background whilst I am watching TV....nope women have no problems.

    As one of three sisters, I had to learn a lot of these the hard way. My husband and I had three sons. I learned real fast that tears don't always work. The one thing that I was adamant about was that toilet lid thing. They all learned real fast in life to be sure it was closed. Also, my oldest son loves to shop. Of course it is mostly for sporting items! Bless them all.

    I have an answer to the toilet seat problems. Everyone, male and female, when you finish with the toilet, put the lid down, AND the lid. There is a reason there is a lid on a toilet. I recently read that when you flush a toilet make sure you have the lid down first. It will eliminate many germs from being displaced into the room as it is swirling and flushing. Hey works for me. Also this way, EVERYONE is cooperating, and the seat as well as the lid, is down. :) Thanks for posting, Suzie, funny!

    As long as he agrees that he has too many of whatever his hobby is, that golf is not a job, that there's no such thing as a dress flannel shirt or a dress T-shirt, that his feet do indeed stink, that no one wants to pull his finger, that his pants did not shrink, and that HMMFFHH is not an answer to any human question, then I'm OK with your list.

    The trouble is that a lot of women assume that man is being harsh and mostly inconvenient, whilst not realising that they themselves are just as bad. Those rules you've written are extremely exaggerated, and seem to typify the things women simply like to moan and men for not thinking of the whole time.

    Yes, I'm a divorced woman of 62 and already knew all that. I think we should all be who we are and not make too many demands on anyone else, that's why I prefer to be on my own.

    *roflmao* My husband has three and he calls them SLCM *pronounced slick 'em*

    S..Sex, and a lot of it.

    L..Laundry, always done.

    C...Clean House.

    M..Money..Don't spend any.

    He says as long as I follow the laws of slick 'em, his life will always be one of contentment and joy.

    Edit: HA! I can't count! Make that four! No wonder I counted three! For the past four years we've had a grandbaby or two sharing our bedroom! We don't get much of the S anymore.
