What would Happen If Men?

Question

If Men Were to Rewrite "The Rules"

Rule # 1 Anything we said six or eight months ago is inadmissible in an argument. All comments become null and void after seven days.

Rule # 2 If we say something that can be interpreted in two ways, and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other way.

Rule # 3 It is in neither your best interest nor ours to make us take those stupid Cosmo quizzes together.

Rule # 4 You can either ask us to do something OR tell us how you want it done -- not both.

Rule # 5 Whenever possible, please say whatever you have to say during commercials or time-outs.

Rule # 6 Christopher Columbus didn't need directions and neither do we.

Rule # 7 When we're turning the wheel and the car is nosing onto the ramp, you saying "This is our exit" is not necessary.

Answer 1

Very Funny...Interesting observation

Answer 2

If they're honestly considerate of women, they'd rewrite the rules this way>>>

Rule # 1 Anything we said 6 or 8 months ago is admissible in an argument... all comments are acceptable and important/valuable, regardless of how long ago the words were spoken.

Rule # 2 If we say something that can be interpreted in two ways, and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, then we’re truly sorry if we’ve offended you... how can we make ammends?

Rule # 3 It is in your best interest and ours, to take those Cosmo quizzes together, because they help us get to know/understand one another better... then we can have a better relationship, and we do care about our relationship with you.

Rule # 4 You're welcomed to either ask us to do something… OR… to tell us how you want it done... we want to do things to help you, and we know it's important to you HOW we do it... you and your opinions matter to us.

Rule # 5 Please say whatever you have to say, whenever you need to say it... we're here for you, to give you the undivided time and attention that we know you need from us.

Rule # 6 Christopher Columbus didn't need directions, but we realize that there are times when directions are certainly necessary... because we're only human and we can make mistakes that cause us to get lost.

Rule # 7 When we're turning the wheel and the car is nosing onto the ramp, you saying>>> "This is our exit" ...is appreciated... thank you for getting us on the RIGHT exit, just in the nick of time.

Answer 3

What each of these means

1) Matters should be dealt with fully as they come along. If you are not satisfied with the outcome at the time, then don't pretend that the matter has been settled.

2) Don't assume, period. And if you insist on assuming, then don't assume the worse.

3) If it ain't broke then don't try to break it. And if you have a question you want us to answer, then just come right out and ask it. Quit trying to hide behind a magazine quiz.

4) Quit trying to manipulate us and deceive us. You want honesty from us (at least that's what you say you want), well then, give it to us as well. Practice what you preach. If you WANT us to do something, then tell us that. If you'd LIKE us to do something, but you'll accept it if we choose not to do it, then tell us that.

5) Be considerate. Again, practice what you preach.

6) This is just stereotyping. It's like saying all women are bi***es when they have their periods and that's why we shouldn't have a female President. That's just garbage. Plenty of men ask for directions and use directions. I do. And I've known many a woman who wouldn't ask for or use directions.

7) Stating the obvious, especially at times when we are otherwise distracted, is redundant as well as annoying. Try having a guy around as you are putting on your make-up and stating what you are going to be doing just as you start to do it, then you might get the idea.

Edit: That's a really nice revision bubbleo1954. Too bad it misses the "practice what you preach" angle. You shouldn't ask more from the man than you're willing to give to him yourself. A relationship involves two people, not just one. Quit acting like it's all about the woman.

As to your revisions:

1) Does this mean we're allowed to use your words from arguments of times past against you as well? No, I didn't think so.

2) You can take offense to something said but that doesn't mean it was said to offend. Why should the man apologize for the woman's mistake? If she is so narrow minded that she can't see any other way to take his remarks other than the worst way, then that is her problem.

3) The quizzes don't simply ask questions, they try to give a generalized meaning to the answers given, which may or may not apply to the relationship you have. If it was simply asking questions to discover more about each other, then you don't need the quizzes to do this.

4) The way you state it the man has no choice in the matter, he's supposed to do as she wishes when she wants it, how she wants it and be more than happy to do so every time no matter what. Read my last two paragraphs below.

5) There's a time and place for everything. Are you going to give us the same undivided time and attention for any mundane thing we wish to bring up and talk about whenever we feel the need, whatever you are doing at the time? It works both ways.

6) I already stated this is a stereotype.

7) So you want to be lied to and told that you are being helpful when you're not and that it's appreciated when it's not? Like I said, also, it works both ways. How about he says to you as he opens the driver's side door to get in, "I'm driving", or as you put a napkin to your face to wipe off your mouth, "You have something on your lips". As you prepare to sit in a seat at the theater he points to it and says, "That seat's empty". I'm sure you'd be very appreciative.

The only problem I've ever had with the woman thinking the man should treat her like a princess is that she doesn't think she should have to treat him like a prince in return, but rather like a servant or a lowly peasant.

I will treat a woman as a lady if and as long as her behaviour reflects her to be one, and do so gladly. And part of being a lady is to treat the man as a gentleman in the same manner.

Answer 4

Seems to me that except for #'s 5 &6 that's a womens rulebook. So your saying when you guys do the same thing, your just "following the rules" right? LOL!!
But when it comes to women I want to modify/add to #7. Yelling "THE LIGHT
IS RED" 1 1/2 miles before we get to it, does nothing but distract us!

Answer 5

Yeah.... that would be great. What I don't understand is if all you ladies know this to be true about us why do you make such a big deal about it. I mean a little give-n-take would be fair don't you think.

Funny thing I think you ladies think this funny in the sense of "wow its funny that they think like this" were as guys are saying its funny in the "man this is true (but sad) its so funny they will never understand, might as well laugh at ourselves" sense.

Answer 6

Very true.....lol.....there's more

Rule # 8. We were never taught that the toilet seat is what keeps the marriage ticking

Rule # 9. We wear everything on our sleeves....including the heart

Rule # 10. When we're told "You should know....." we're really lost because we actually dont....

So on and so forth

Answer 7

Are you a feminist? There are no rules like that,at least not for everyone.You just take things that we say and twist them into oblivious messes! Some of us men are still into equal opportunity and treatment.

Answer 8

I play by my own rules. I don't need anyone to write any for me, female or male.

Answer 9

You forgot, I know that I spilled Beer/Nacho cheese on my shirt, I just dont care.

Answer 10

ha ha ha ha ha

I know SO many men would fit all those rules!! It's funny because it's true! ;)
