The Man Rules.
 

Girls read this.
The Man Rules
At last a guy has taken the time to write this all down


Finally, the guys' side of the story. (I must admit, it's pretty good.)
We always hear 'the rules' from the female side

Now here are the rules from the male side.

These are our 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. 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.

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 already think you're fat, then Don't ask us.

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

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 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 it is 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. 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 baseball or motor sports.

1. You have enough clothes.

1. You have too many shoes..

1. I am in shape. Round IS a shape!

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? It's like camping.

Pfffffttttttttt. Like we care about mans rules.

Re: The Man Rules.
 

You women hear what you want to hear.:foottap

Re: The Man Rules.
 

Sure, Scott. THAT is the #1 woman's rule! :gotcha:

Re: The Man Rules.
 

oh so true, lol

Re: The Man Rules.
 

Hmmm... that could be what makes it so hard to be the head of a household these days.

:)

Re: The Man Rules.
 

Scott,


WONDERFUL!

AND TRUE!

Re: The Man Rules.
 

Just a thought:
After the fall, God gave Adam his assignment. Get out and work by the SWEAT
of your brow.
Eve, you will bear children in travail and labor. Childbirth.

If the man rules, then he needs to carry his assignment through. Get out
and SWEAT! No, not the gym! Provide for your family! Work until you sweat!
The woman surely does travail and gives birth to their babies.(Her work has
just begun!
But how many men, AFTER the woman has travailed in labor and had the babies,
then want the woman to help carry their part too. Man doesn't go through child-
birth, and she shouldn't have to go out and leave her babies and help until he
has sweated on HIS BROW!!! Labor as in work and labor as in childbirth.

So if it seems the woman sometimes desires to "have a say", has she not earned
a right to!! Didn't say it was right. But maybe she feels it is!
Also, did God instruct Eve to go out and work by the sweat of her brow until
Adam got something (job, family, ministry, his college education, doctorate)
started or finished!

Now, let me go hide for awhile!

Falla,

Good to see you again!

Does your husband know you are posting?:gotcha

Email us sometime,

Lord Bless

Re: The Man Rules.
 

I completely agree with the concept but I would say that it isn't always... and maybe even the majority of the time... that the man isn't doing his part. (although this is definitely the case for some people... and I know some personally.)

The woman in the workplace is often the result of several issues.

1. They (the couple) want to live a higher standard of living than one income can bring in. So... for the sake of the SUV, home in the burbs, the boat etc they both work to live "the dream".

2. There are many women who work because they do not want to be in a place where they are dependent on anyone.

There are other reasons as well... I am sure.

Re: The Man Rules.
 

Guess I should turn off the A/C, then? ;)

Re: The Man Rules.
 

Brother Scott,
You are too funny. Sounds like a frustrated man wrote that article. I am glad he does
not live in my house because he sounds mean.
In Jesus,
D



Sister Falla that was awesome but I like to occasionally work to have socialization. I have stayed home all Summer with the children and missed the adult interaction.
I do however like to be able to choose if I want to work not be sent out to work
by a lazy spouse. I am blessed that I can stay home if I desire. The choice is mine
but for years it was not.

Re: The Man Rules.
 

Hello, Bro. TJJJ,

Yes, my husband of 50 yrs of marriage, knows that I, as
an older woman (will turn 70 next month) could teach young-
er women. I learned from my mother, and other godly older
women, that went before me. I was a pastor's daughter for
over 30 yrs and church secretary for over 50 yrs. Hubby and
I both received the Holy Ghost over 50 yrs. ago.

I have seen many things out of order (God's). Things just
do NOT work right when they are out of His order, no matter
how we might try to re-arrange or justify it!

A plumbing problem, ignored will eventually get your attention.
If ignored too long could result in permanant damage or irre-
pairable condition. In other words, just waited to late. Costly
too! In more ways than one.

Bro. I know you have an interest in family life. We have raised
six children to adulthood (all in church with their original spouses)
and 20 children among them. We could never have done it by
ourselves. Just had to do the best we could and then TRUST HIM
with the things ONLY HE COULD DO!!!

I have seen many irgore situations and would not listen and later on
the problems increased except now it was their children and then
their grandchildren. Like a curse. We choose today but tomorrow our
chidren choose and then the grandchildren choose. And by that time
it is almost unbearable to realize that IF ONLY I/WE had listened to
that older person who was much further down the road, we could have
saved ourselves, and our family, much grief and sorrow. When it gets
down to the grandchildren and you just have to stand by and watch as
you no longer have a voice in it. Not your place any longer.

On the other hand, I have seen a grandmother make a choice before I
was ever born. She turned from the traditions and searched the scriptures
and obeyed the Word. It has affected up to the beginning of a 6th gene-
ration of my family to those who believed and obeyed. Our little GREAT-
grandchild, our first, will began the 6th generation of Apostolic Truth in
our family. All because Grandma Lizzie listened, searched and obeyed the
Word of God. Some of every generation following also heard, searched and
obeyed.

Just my thoughts.

Re: The Man Rules.
 

Is that one of the reasons it is so difficult for the women to be the head of the household these days? :)

Re: The Man Rules.
 

This was sent to me by my dad's Pastor.

Re: The Man Rules.
 

Bro. Scott,

Just want you to know, dear Brother:

I was not offended in anyway by your post, regardless of who sent it.
And I did not post anything to be offensive to anyone. But we are living
in a time that is unlike anything I have seen in the almost 70 yrs. in which
I have been here. What will it be like when your daughters marry and have
your grandchildren. We must seek GOD for wisdom and direction as never
before.
Just because my children are raised, doesn't mean I don't care about
others that are coming behind us. May God help us all to do our part in
whatever way we can be of service to HIM and this world, in Jesus Name.

Blessings,

Re: The Man Rules.
 

I only have one correction.

this:

1. 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.

should read:

1. If we ask what is wrong and you say 'nothing,' We will respond with "GREAT! go fix me some ice cream"

Re: The Man Rules.
 

Oh I know you weren't offended this was meant to be funny.

Re: The Man Rules.
 

I did see the humor, but sometimes because of the seriousness I see
and with homes so broken and torn apart, it makes it hard for me to not
see the serious side of life. And it is not getting better. GOD is our only
HOPE!:heart

Hugs, dear Brother!

Re: The Man Rules.
 

Work and then go home and be comfortable with your A/C!

My late father and mother raised eleven children and got them all through
school, etc. He worked all day in an A/C facility and came home where there
was no A/C. He couldn't afford an A/C and have his wife home with their
children. So he opted for her to stay in the home and did without an A/C.
My mother never worked out of the home and they trained us up in the way
we should go.
As long as I lived at home, we never had a telephone. Had a good neighbor
who insisted we come use her phone if we needed to make or receive a call.

Dad felt it more important for his wife and mother of his children to be home
with their children rather than have a telephone.
God supplied their needs, not necessarily their wants. But they had their
priorites right. They had one vehicle. God always made a way for the things
we needed.
I thank God for the lessons and blessings of God to our large family. Ten of
us remain,. although Dad and Mom have gone HOME!

Blessings,

Re: The Man Rules.
 

Every man needs a Man Land!
Usually a few hundred square feet in the basement where the "man" can do whatever he wants while the woman designs the rest of the house to her liking.

Re: The Man Rules.
 

Scott,
Someone sent me the man rules a while back. I agree with most of it, even tho' not "male".

There's always a nugget of truth even when in jest.

Re: The Man Rules.
 

It's really not my room. It is a scene from the show "Man Land" (on HGTV) where he tours 2 or 3 "man caves" where the man of the house is allowed to make a small section into whatever he wants.

Here is one segment from a typical episode.

Re: The Man Rules.
 

Wow. I first thought the guy on the left was Keith and the guy on the right a certain funeral director from down South!

Re: The Man Rules.
 

Hahahahah, BAM!!!! That was ON THE MONEY Senor Hoove!!!

Re: The Man Rules.
 

:uhoh

I was soooo gonna invite myself over. Let me know when yours is ready!

Re: The Man Rules.
 

I'm sure the one on the right is not the funeral director brother. In the first picture, it looks like
this man's got a dip of Skoal (as in smokeless tobacco), in his bottom lip!:nah LOL!
