Stuff Men Need to Know about Women
Not a complete list, obviously.
The reason why our bras don't
always match our
underwear is because we actually change our underwear.
The next time you and your buddies make jokes about armed women in combat, take a poll to see which of you successfully aim at the toilet rim.
If we're watching football with you - it's not bonding - it's their butts.
Whenever possible, please try to say whatever you have to say after the movie.
Lay off the beans several hours before bedtime.
Please don't drive when you're not driving.
If you were really looking for an honest answer, you wouldn't ask in bed.
The next time you make jokes about female drivers, research the number of accidents caused by rubber-necking mini-skirts.
If only women gossip, how do you and your friends keep track of "who's easy"?
Stop telling us most male strippers are gay: we don't care.
When you're not around, I belch loudly, too.
We don't mind if you look in the mirror to check your appearance - in fact, please do!
When you're out with us, please wear "our" favorite outfit rather than "yours" - the torn jeans and dirty T-Shirt will last longer that way.
If you must grunt in reply, please develop a system to indicate a positive vs. a negative grunt.
Don't insist that we "get off the stupid phone" and then not talk to us.
Eye contact is best established above our shoulder-level.
Cleaning the house is not necessarily "women's work"; besides, most of the "dirt" and clutter is yours anyway.
Yes, we know most of the great chefs are men, why is it then you never want to cook?
We go to the Ladies Room in groups to talk about you.
Yes, we know you can probably beat us arm wrestling. However, very few raises or promotions were gained by arm wrestling the boss.

Stuff Women Need to Know about Men
Not a complete list, obviously.
If you’re cooking a special
dinner for a man, be sure to include something from each of the four major male
food groups: Meat, Fried, Beer, and Red.
When he asks for a threesome with you and your best friend, he is only joking. Unless the answer is yes. In which case, can he videotape it?
Any sort of injury involving the testicles is not funny. Seriously.
Don’t make him hold your purse in the mall. It does something to our manhood.
Shopping is not fascinating. Ever.
It is only common courtesy to leave the toilet seat up when you’re done.
If you really want a nice guy, stop dating good-looking assholes.
The man is always in charge of poking the campfire with a stick and/or tending the grill.
Trying to provoke a large, dangerous-looking felon from across the room is not funny.
Don’t hog the covers. Really.
If he has to sit through “Legends of the Fall”, you have to sit through “Showgirls”.
“Fine.” is not an acceptible way to end an argument.
Money does not equate love. Not even in Nevada.
If you truly want honesty, don’t ask questions you don’t really want the answer to.
Of course he wants another beer.
The guy doesn’t always have to sleep on the wet spot.
Dogs good. Cats bad.
He does not want to be just friends.
Do not question a man’s innate navigational abilities by suggesting he stop for directions.
He was not looking at that other girl. Well, okay, maybe a little. Okay, so what! He was looking at her. Big deal. Like you never looked at another guy.
He is the funniest, strongest, best-looking, most successful man you have ever met. And all your friends think so too. Especially the cute ones.
Your butt/boobs/hair/makeup/legs look fine. As a matter of fact, it/they look damn good. Stop asking.
If you want a satisfying sex life, you will never fake an orgasm. Ever.
Despite the overwhelming evidence to the contrary in many of the fine bars and fraternities throughout the country, not all men are cretins deserving your contempt.
It is not necessary to discuss the heaviness of your menstrual flow with him.
Remember: that Nair bottle looks an awful lot like shampoo if left in the shower.
Any attempt by a man to prepare food, no matter how feeble (ie: microwaving a burrito, fixing spaghetti, etc.) should be met with roughly the same degree of praise a parent might shower upon their infant when it walks for the first time.
Those male models with perfect bodies are all gay. Accept it.
He heard you the first time. Honest.
You know, you can ask him out too. Let’s spread the rejection around a little.
Dirty laundry comes in several categories: Looks fine/smells fine, Looks fine/smells bad, Looks dirty/smells fine. Unless you intend to wash it, do not try to disrupt piles organized in this manner.
Yes, Sharon Stone/Pamela Anderson/Cindy Crawford is prettier than you. Just like Brad Pitt/Antonio Banderas/Keanu Reeves is better looking than him. But since neither one of you is going to be dating any of these people, love the one you’re with.
Of course size matters, and boy does he has the grandaddy of them all.
His bald spot/beer gut/impossibly thick glasses/impotency/scabby rash, is cute.
Watching football is a major turn-on for him. But please wait until the halftime show to act upon that.
