Tips About Men

by Gene | October 15, 2009

So I’d like to give some tips to women about men. I’ve had girls come to me wanting to know about what men think or why we do certain things, so here is a useful guide. I stole some of these from an email, but most guys think this way.

All of these are labeled number 1 for a reason.

1) Men are not mind readers

1) Ask for what you want, Subtle hints don’t work! Strong hints don’t work! Obvious hints don’t work! JUST SAY IT!

1) Crying is blackmail

1) Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. In fact, all comments become null and void after 7 days

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) 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) If we ask what is wrong and you say “nothing”, we will act like nothing’s wrong. We know you are lying, but its 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) If you tell a guy you want to be with a guy, don’t act like he doesn’t exsist.

1) Don’t let a guy’s ex-girlfriend scare you away. She doesn’t run his life (as much as she thinks she does)

And I know I’ll catch heat for this, but its a great tool. Because this is really how a lot of guys think.
