This is an oldie but a goodie, or is it? You decide. RULES THAT GUYS WISH GIRLS KNEW... If you think you are fat, you probably are. Do not ask us. We refuse to answer. Learn to work the toilet seat. You're a big girl. If it's up, put it down. Do not cut your hair. Ever. Long hair is always more attractive than short hair. One of the big reasons guys fear getting married is that married women always cut their hair, and by then, you are stuck with her. Birthdays, Valentines, and Anniversaries are not quests to see if we can find the perfect present yet again! If you ask a question you don't want an answer to; expect an answer you do not want to hear. Sometimes, we are not thinking about you. Live with it. Do not ask us what we are thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as navel lint, the shotgun formation and NASCAR. Sunday = sports. It's like the full moon or the changing of the tides. Let it be. Shopping is not a sport, and no, we are never going to think of it that way. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine. Really. Crying is blackmail. Your ex-boyfriend IS an idiot. 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! We don't remember dates. Mark birthdays and anniversaries on a calendar. Remind us frequently beforehand. Most guys own three pairs of shoes - tops. What makes you think we'd be any good at choosing which pair, out of thirty, would look good with your dress? Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question. 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. A headache that lasts for 17 months is a problem. See a doctor. Foreign films are best left to foreigners. Check your oil. Please. Do not fake it. We would rather be ineffective than deceived. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. In fact, all comments become null and void after 7 days. If something we said can be interpreted two ways, and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one. Let us ogle. We are going to look anyway; it's genetic. 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. Whenever possible, please say whatever you have to say during commercials. Christopher Columbus did not need directions, and neither do we. The relationship is never going to be like it was the first two months we were going out. Get over it. And quit whining to your girlfriends like THEIR relationship is SO MUCH better. 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. If it itches, it will be scratched. We do that. We are not mind readers and we never will be. Our lack of mind-reading ability is not proof of how little we care about you. 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.

I love the article posted below. No, I don't have any complex about my height. 5'6 isn't that short but in our society, most women prefer taller men than themselves. That is alright, as I have been fortunate to know those women in the minority who don't care or believe that they are worth the climb! ********************** Want a husband who’ll stay? – better marry a shorter guy. From the Times, London, May 2001. Taller the man, more likely he’ll stray, study finds. LONDON- Women who want a faithful husband should think small because tall men are more likely to divorce and remarry, research has found. A 50-year study of graduates from the United State’s most prestigious military academy has shown that taller men are more likely to stray as they get older, and to replace their partners with a younger model. Tall men also tend to father more children, largely though starting two or more families with different women. The study, the first details of which are published today in NEW SCIENTIST magazine, analyzed the class of 1950 from West Point military academy in upstate New York. The findings suggest that the allure that tallness holds for women has a hidden string, because it gives a man more opportunity to stray. “The more attractive a man is, the more chance he gets to destroy his first marriage,” said one of the researchers, Dr. Allan Mazur or Syracuse University in New York. “Tallness is pretty much universally attractive. I don’t know why.” Other studies have suggested that tall men are more successful in the workplace, and that they appear more intimidating to potential aggressors. Mazur, however, said that the advantages of tallness might be imagined rather than real and that women might not be making a logical decision by preferring taller men. The tendency of tall men to have more children may also result in an evolutionary trend because height is 3estimated to be about 90 per cent inherited. There is, however, one group of men who seem to defy the theory. A short Hollywood actor is no more likely to be faithful than a tall one. While diminutive characters such as Michael J. Fox (5’5”) and Mel Gibson (5’8”) are happily married to their first wives, Dudley Moore (5’2”) has four divorces to his name, and Dustin Hoffman (5’5”) and Anthony Hopkins (5’7”) are both on their second marriages. Among taller men, the 6’4” Liam Neeson has been married to his first wife, Natasha Richardson, since 1994, and Arnold Schwartzneggar (6’2”) is also on his first marriage. Jeff Goldblum (6’4”), however, is twice divorced, and Sean Connery (6’2”, Clint Eastwood (6’3”) and Jeremy Irons (6’5”) are married to second wives.
