I've just noticed that most of my blog post are usually written at night, or super early in the morning like now.
To be honest, I do love the environment at night much better than the day.
It's more peaceful :)
Anywaysss, there is something that I NEED to blog about.
Something that Andrew posted as his status earlier today about rules for dating men.
Here are the contents of it.
RULES FOR DATING MEN (Ladies take notes :D)
Finally, the guys' side of the story. We always hear "the rules" from the female side. Now here are the rules from the male side. These are our rules! Please note..
1. Men ARE not mind reader
2. Shopping is NOT a sport. And no, we are never going to think of it that way.
3. Crying is blackmail.
4. 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!
5. Yes and No are perfectly Acceptable answers to almost every question.
6. 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.
7. A headache that lasts for 17 months is a problem. See a doctor.
8. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. In fact, all comments become null and void after 7 Days.
9. If you won't dress like the Victoria's Secret girls, don't Expect us to act like soap opera guys..
10. If something we said can be interpret in two ways and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one
11. 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.
12. Whenever possible , Please say whatever you have to say during commercials.
13. Christopher Columbus did NOT need directions and neither do we.
14. 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.
15. 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.
16. If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, Expect an answer you don't want to hear
17. Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as football, cars, bikes or games
18. You have enough clothes.
19. You have too many shoes.
20. 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.
There ya have it!
I do agree with some of them but the others are just.. bullshit.
Here are my responses to the above rules.
1. YOU DON'T SAY. Ladies are not mind readers as well! But of course after being with a person for a while, you will notice the habits & behavioural patterns of a person.
And when you know a person's patterns, you would be able to tell when a person is angry, sad, disappointed, etc, etc.
2. First of all, I'm not sure about other girls but I do not view shopping as a sport. Who the heck would? Lol.
Maybe there are some girls who view it as a sport mainly because shopping involves walking I guess? LOL.
I'm not entirely sure though. & MIND YOU, in some relationships, GUYS are the ones who shop more than the girl. Also, it is really UNFAIR for guys to be complaining when they expect girls to give them opinion about their clothes but when tables are turned, they just idle away -_-
3. Crying CAN be blackmail. It depends really.
If the girl is super emotional, then duhh, she can't freaking help it man. lol.
It also comes down to how well you know your girl. Not all cries are blackmail.
4. Personally, this is what I do. HAHAH. I SUCK big time in giving subtle hints.
The thing about this is, not everything asked will be given.
A very good example is guys and their games.
If your girlfriend is sad & ask you to stop playing your game to attend to her, would you stop?
The fact that the girl even has to ask that is an INSULT to the dude man.
So about asking, don't ask us to ask when you can't provide.
5. Yes & No. Obviously they are acceptable answers but sometimes there may be other answers.
Don't only target girls on this. Guys are sometimes indecisive as well.
One of the most annoying answers I get from him is, "I don't know" -_-
If you're talking about constant indecisiveness, then yes it is annoying!
6. First off, you're a boyfriend. You're supposed to be there for her.
& by saying that sympathy is what girlfriends are for, are you saying that guys have no ability to empathize?
The thing about women when it comes to ranting is that it makes us feel better.
You guys are not Bob The Builder who needs to fix everything yo.
Listening takes way less effort than thinking of ways to solve the issue, so why not just listen?
7. I've no idea what is this about actually. So I won't say anything about this.
8. In an argument, sometimes things get heated up & people say things they don't mean.
Having said that, it does not mean that it is forgivable to take advantage of the previous things that your partner told you.
For instance, let's say the word "worthless" reminds your partner of how his/her parents does not approve him/her, don't go using that on your partner just to have more impact.
It will stay in the person's head for a very long time.
Stay away from sensitive issues to avoid being attacked by what you said to her in an argument.
Cognitively, one should be able to control him/herself when it comes to matters like this.
If not, please go & learn some self control skills.
9. HAHAHA, I'll tell you a story about this.
I used to dress up every single time I go out.
I LOVED dressing up in general, & for the boy.
BUT, one fine day, I was asked to dress down or not even dress up.
So, hmm...
10. This is a contradiction to the saying that guys say it as it is. Enough said.
11. If we were to tell you how to do things but you don't possess the listening skills, how?
& since you proclaim that solving problem is what you guys do, shouldn't you know the BEST way to do certain things? Lol.
12. LOL, I don't talk during movies.
If anything, he'd be the one nibbling on my fingers & nails.
Sometimes even tickle me. PFFT.
& if we're talking about TV shows or whatever shows, I'm the on who usually gets interrupted -_-
13. Christopher Columbus did not need directions.
You guys are not Christopher Columbus.
Therefore, you guys need directions.
If you know your way around, do your thing man. Ain't nobody's gonna be in your way.
But if you are LOST, it wouldn't hurt to ask for directions unless you want to be stranded with your ego.
It'd sound really dumb if people were to know you were stranded or stuck somewhere just because you don't want to open your damn mouth & ask for directions.
The funny thing is that Andrew, most of the time asks me for directions even if he sometimes know the way, or so he claims hahaha.
If it's not me, it's the GPS.
So.. guys & directions?
Technology is now helping you. What do you have to say now?
14. Haha this is probly true =P
15. This comes down to knowing your girl & how much you care about her.
Take the time to understand that some girls take time to open up.
If you're just gonna sit back & say that it isn't worth the hassle, why do you even bother having a girlfriend?
To maintain a relationship, you will have to juggle your time & you will need to put in effort.
ESPECIALLY if the relationship exceeds a year.
The two people in the relationship should already know each other's tendencies at their fingertips.
The girl should know when her boy is down, angry, disappointed, etc etc. VICE VERSA.
A relationship is a two way thing man.
& Like everything else, everything needs effort.
NOTHING in life is hassle free man.
16. Ahah, this works both ways. But if you know your other half is sensitive, sugar coat it a little bit :)
17. Really? Is that ALL guys think about ? I don't think so.
If that's all that is in your mind, wtf man. Get a life.
Never think about future & stuff?
Swag ain't gonna pay your bills man.
Kinda disappointed that he shared this because I know it's not the case for him.
He thinks about science and other stuff too.
& it's nice hearing him speak so passionately about science stuff :)
Somewhat enlightening ^^
18. Heheheh, girls have more choices than guys anyways.
Girls have dresses, skirts, jeans, long pants, shorts, jumpsuits, etc etc.
Guys don't have that many choices so.. technically, guys won't have that many clothings.
19. Guilty as charged ! LOL!
20. Andrew LOVES camping ;)
There you have it! All my thoughts & comments about these rules.
I don't even know how "You have enough clothes" is a rule LOL!
Anyway, these rules are unreliable because not all girls & guys are the same.
& I won't be surprised if the roles of guys & girls switch.
Some guys these days are really like girls. Haha.
& what the hell lah, who's so damn free to come up with these rules?
With different people, of course there'd be different kind of rules. Tskk. Ridiculous!
I didn't even know that rules to date women existed, what more men?
Zzz.
That's all I have to say about this.
Ciaozers!
