At last a guy has taken the time to write this all down Finally.....the guys' side of the story.
Now here are the rules from the male side.
These are our rules!
1. Men are NOT mind readers.
2 . 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.
3 . Sunday sports, It's like the full moon or the changing of the tides. Let it be.
4 . Crying is blackmail.
5 . 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!
6 . Yes or No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.
7 . 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.
8 . Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. In fact, all comments become Null and void after 7 Days.
9 . If you think you're fat, you probably are. Don't ask us.
1 0 . If something we said can be interpreted two ways and one of the ways makes you sad or ang ry, we meant the other way
1 1 . You can either ask us to do something Or tell us how you want it done. Not both. And if you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself.
1 2 . Whenever possible, Please say whatever you have to say during commercials ….
1 3 . Christopher Columbus did NOT need directions and neither do we ..
1 4 . 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 what mauve is.
1 5 . If it itches, it will be scratched. We do that.
1 6 . If we ask what is wrong and you say "nothing," We will act like nothing's wrong. We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle.
1 7 . If you ask a question that you don't want an answer to, Expect an answer that you don't want to hear.
1 8 . When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine...Really.
1 9 . Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as baseball, hockey, football or golf.
20 . You have enough clothes.
2 1. You have too many shoes.
22 . I am in shape. Round IS a shape!
23 . 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.
I've received this email several different times, and am sure alot of you have seen it before as well...just thought I share it anyways..
'Some people!' snorted a man standing behind me in the long line at the grocery store. 'You would think the manager would pay attention and open another line, 'said a woman.
I looked to the front of the line to see what the hold up was and saw a well dressed, young woman, trying to get the machine to accept her credit card. No matter how many times she swiped it, the machine kept rejecting it.
'It's one of them welfare card things. Damn people need to get a job like everyone else,' said the man standing behind me. The young woman turned around to see who had made the comment. 'It was me,' he said, pointing to himself.
The young lady's face began to change expression. Almost in tears, she dropped the welfare card onto the counter and quickly walked out of the store. Everyone in the checkout line watched as she began running to her car. Never looking back, she got in and drove away.
After developing cancer in 1977 and having had to use food stamps; I had learned never to judge anyone, without knowing the circumstances of their life. This turned out to be the case today.
Several minutes later a young man walked into the store. He went up to the cashier and asked if she had seen the woman. After describing her, the cashier told him that she had run out of the store, got into her car, and drove away.
'Why would she do that?' asked the man. Everyone in the line looked around at the fellow who had made the statement. 'I made a stupid comment about the welfare card she was using. Something I shouldn't have said. I'm sorry,' said the man.
'Well, that's bad, real bad, in fact. Her brother was killed in Afghanistan two years ago. He had three young children and she has taken on that responsibility. She's twenty years old, single, and now has three children to support,' he said in a very firm voice.
'I'm really truly sorry. I didn't know,' he replied, shaking both his hands about.
The young man asked, 'Are these paid for?' pointing to the shopping cart full of groceries. 'It wouldn't take her card,' the clerk told him.
'Do you know where she lives?' asked the man who had made the comment.
'Yes, she goes to our church.'
'Excuse me,' he said as he made his way to the front of the line. He pulled out his wallet, took out his credit card and told the cashier, 'Please use my card. PLEASE!'
The clerk took his credit card and began to ring up the young woman's groceries.
Hold on,' said the gentleman. He walked back to his shopping cart and began loading his own groceries onto the belt to be included. 'Come on people. We got three kids to help raise!' he told everyone in line.
Everyone began to place their groceries onto the fast moving belt. A few customers began bagging the food and placing it into separate carts. 'Go back and get two big turkeys,' yelled a heavyset woman, as she looked at the man. 'NO,' yelled the man. Everyone stopped dead in their tracks. The entire store became quiet for several seconds. 'Four turkeys,' yelled the man. Everyone began laughing and went back to work.
When all was said and done, the man paid a total of $1,646.57 for the groceries. He then walked over to the side, pulled out his check book, and began writing a check using the bags of dog food piled near the front of the store for a writing surface. He turned around and handed the check to the young man.
'She will need a freezer and a few other things as well,' he told the man.
The young man looked at the check and said, 'This is really very generous of you.'
'No,' said the man. 'Her brother was the generous one.'
Everyone in the store had been observing the odd commotion and began to clap. And I drove home that day feeling very American.
Kindness is the language the blind can see and the deaf can hear.
Im not sure it took me that long, I was arguing with you last night...im more amazed you drug this out so long and came across as "one who isnt blessed with a great deal of brainage".
ahmmm ahmm duh ahmmm...maybe you could narrow down what speech... ok...just so there isnt another mix up...if you can read this..can you give the name or the date of this speech? and not say..i gave you the link..yada yada yada..man your funny!
"The statistics spell out the dilemma. The number of Americans on food stamps topped 31.5 million in September, a record high. Obesity, too, is at epidemic levels: In 30 states, at least 25 percent of the population is dangerously overweight. Nationally, 31.9 percent of children are considered overweight or obese.
For decades, the government has treated hunger and obesity as unrelated phenomena. But at a recent news conference in Chicago, Tom Vilsack, President-elect Barack Obama's choice for agriculture secretary, said that he would put "nutrition at the center of all food assistance programs," a signal that he will get involved next year when Congress moves to reauthorize nutrition programs that support school breakfasts and lunches and summer food for children."
this among many articles I have read and none lay claim to reducing food stamps for obese women. Moreso, they talk of obesity in regards to the general public, not discrimmating against only women. And in even more articles it talks of farmers markets to increase a healthy choice of food for lower income families...(not just women), also they go into more detail about healthier food in the school food programs...anyways, this is getting to be quite boring as you cant come up with direct and valid proof of your "sources"
Your information is inaccurate and just plain false. But say whatever it takes to justify it in your head..
naaa, i dont think you lowered yourself, most likely many of us would of done it too. You know in life there is alot of not so nice people, it makes you appreciate the "good" ones even more. Dealing and coming in contact with the rude and selfish people, makes me want to be a better person and not come close to their type of character.
She treated you poorly at a very rough time in your life, but you made it and am sure to some degree it made you a stronger person..
Im not sure that anyone is saying your wrong in what you did, your just trying to overly justify it...hmmm if i remember correctly you said you did it for self-gratification, maybe thats the difference. Im not sure.
How long ago did this happen snuggly? it seems to bother you greatly, i was thinking it happened someetime ago..
RE: why are some men
