At last a guy has taken the time to write this all down

Finally, the guys’ side of the story.

Please note… these are all numbered “1”
ON PURPOSE!
1. Men are NOT mind readers.

We need it up, you need it down.
You don’t hear us complaining about you leaving it down.

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 blackmail.

1. 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!

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.

Don’t ask us.

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