RULES FOR MEN...courtesy of Freeman Institute...lol!

 Okay...I happen to find this hilarious, because I happen to find it true. I can just hear alot of my female friends protesting, but if they were to get seriously honest, they would agree. I'm sorry, men...I honestly hate drama and games, but I have to admit that this is how my brain wants to work. I do work on it, but it's so fun to just laugh long and loud at the absurdities of both genders portrayed here in this list. :) Enjoy!


Rules For Men Explained -- Finally!

For thousands of years, men have tried to understand the rules when dealing with women. Finally, this merit/demerit guide will help you to understand just how it works. Remember, in the world of romance, one single rule applies: Make the woman happy.


Do something she likes, and you get points. Do something she dislikes and points are subtracted. You don't get any points for doing something she expects. "That's just not fair!", you exclaim. Sorry, that's the way the game is played.
