Some of you ladies want a relationship and you want commitment.
But, are you TRULY ready to live with a man ?

To be ready you must obey the rules.
While we men may be hard,
we're not hard to understand.

With no further ado, in order to be truly ready to
have a happy meaningful relationship with a man,
you must understand and obey the following 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 emotional blackmail. Don't do it !


1. Simply 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!
Will you please 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 real medical 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. Lose some weight.


1. If something we said can be interpreted two ways
and one of the ways makes you sad or angry,
we meant the other way.


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. Christopher Columbus did NOT need directions and neither do we.


1. ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings.
Peach, for example, is a fruit, not A color. Pumpkin is also a fruit.
We have no idea and don't care what mauve is.


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's wrong. We may know you are lying,
but it is just simply 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, absolutely anything you
wear is fine. Really !!


1. Don't ask us what we're thinking about,
UNLESS you are prepared to discuss such topics as sex,
cars, the shotgun formation, or baseball.


1. You have enough clothes.


1. You have too many shoes.


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 ?
To us, it's sort of like camping...

Let's look back in time.
What was before online dating. Newspaper personal ads, friends/family arranged blind dates, social events, bars, libraries, literally everywhere where people were.
It was very slow. It was usually down to luck. It was very limited in choices. (Usually in a limited geographic location).
Why was it good? It was natural. People met because they were at the same place. They started to talk because probably had some similar interest.
When people chose or accepted the partner they went for the "good enough" option. It was enough if it was slightly better than others. The brain is happy to do a task like this.
These days the Internet gives the false impression of unlimited choice.
Do a search. Not enough results? No problem. Widen your options and voila now you can scroll 30 pages.
And makes you believe it is down to how you choose.
Barry Schwartz wrote a book called "The Paradox of Choice". He says too much choice will be detrimental.
There are couple of problems inside:
1. Because there are so many options you believe there must be a perfect one. This means the weight of your decision is much bigger.
2. When you choose one and it's not flawless you believe other choice would have been better. Which means you will never be satisfied with the choice.
3. Choosing from a big selection is exhausting. Our brain is not made for this.
4. Big number of players mean big competition. It's very easy to feel you are the only one left alone.
5. Anonymity changes the behaviours for lot of people. They would never say things or act the similar way face-to-face as they do online.
You can find many more points if you think.

Solution: I don't know. I believe it's still a very slow game. You have to accept it you either go for just a good enough or wait much much longer. Same as it was before. The difference is you have to cancel all the noise.
Also I don't believe the marriage is about how you choose at the beginning. It's about how much work the partners put in. The marriage is a workshop. (Yes, I know the classic: Men work, women shop...)
But no one can see in years ahead. what works at the beginning might not work in 5 years time. People also change.
The biggest issue is not how you choose but people didn't learn to work on problems. It's better to look out for new partner if there is a problem.... See, how many potential options out there? Just look around on dating sites.....

I am a Chinese girl,am 25 years old,English is not well but am learning,I do not know if you like a Chinese girl,I am 170cm tall from a company as a receptionist never married and no kids.

I was struck by the truth of this. Plus I loved the film. So hopefully it will make you laugh too.

I promised myself, no more blogs for a while. PROMISED myself. But I have a particularly busy weekend coming up for once, and a holiday almost immediately afterwards, so you WILL have a break from my incessant blethering.



Feel free to use the blog as a chance to pass on more priceless advice. It's all friendly ammunition in the war between the sexes.

He is charming, confident,witty and single......
Ladies are thrilled to bits when he comments on their blogs,many are lining up to be on his friend's list, he is indeed a 'prize catch'
Now who can that be...?

I always seem to find out the hard way but if there's one thing I've noticed about them it's that they are way too full on early in the relationship. I have found no other common denominator.

Hi friends, I'm in a confusion and would appreciate your opinions here.

I have no desire to marry and have kids again, been there, done that...but wants someone special to share some parts of my life with. I'm not looking forward to sharing the same house with that special someone and cuddle everyday. All I want is to have a respectable relationship on part time basis, what I mean by this is that I want to have a separate life, have enough time and space for myself...spend time with that special someone whenever it's convenient for both of us, like seeing each other 3x times a week. A part time relationship but with set rules and with respect to each other. So far no one agrees with what I want.

Does what I want debase the value of a relationship?



Thanks and have a good night/day everyone!

So....I've met up with my mystery man yet again...I haven't drank a drop of alcohol in years....not because of any alcoholism issues, but only because I like to always be clear headed. Well....last night, not so much He had taken me out to a local club where I enjoy singing..ohh my, I think I mixed up every single song I did, was definitely comical lol....and I've told this mystery man a million times, I can't dance....I have two left feet. He finally told me last night, he didn't know what that meant...still getting used to some American expressions ....I've been asked numerous times at this club to dance but I refuse because I'm just horrid on my feet...but last night, we danced. And I will say this, I think it's one step in the right direction towards curing my case of two left feet. There was just him and the music....wasn't sure if it was the alcohol making my head spin, or the company

The first thing to remember is that she will be looking for some level of perfection, your profile may give her love butterflies, but when she meets you won’t be the person that she dreamed off...it’s not sods law its reality.

Women over 50 have been there and done that, so don’t try and blind them with self-serving boasts.

She will more than likely have dogs; these dogs are her babies and take precedent over everything else. If she is a cat women be prepared for a unique stench in her home.

They are for the most part looking for a stable partner and want walks on the beach and she will probably be randy as hell, so you may get a leg over but don’t expect a sandwich afterwards.

Be kind about her looks, she will still be beautiful on the inside as well as the outside, but comments about her “Turkey Neck” will result in being blocked or a hefty slap.

They will make excellent companions, but be wary of one who is into daytime TV soaps; to her the characters are real so tread carefully and think before making derogatory comments about the programme.

Be romantic, she will love getting flowers, cards and gifts, and she will repay you with kindness and or baked goods, If she throws a packet of supermarket brand biscuits at you, time to leave, you failed.

So ladies, add some hints and tips for the men...

So that is the new opening line in all my recent personal messages.
Small case i's, capital letters mid sentence and the urge to relocate in the name of love to another country.
