Hi Ladies! I’m not sure if the tips below will help or hurt your relationship with your man, but hey, they are trying to communicate. We have to give them credit for that.
I found most of these “helpful hints” humorous. Some, however, made my blood boil! Therefore, proceed with CAUTION!
Men are NOT mind readers
Men feel that women should learn how to work the toilet seat instead of the other way around
Sunday sports It’s like the full moon or the changing of the tides.
Women should let it be.
Men consider Crying as blackmail.
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 what you mean!
Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.
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.
Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. In fact, all comments become null and void after 7 Days.
If you think you’re fat, you probably are. Don’t ask us. (Okay, this one made my blood boil!)
If something we said can be interpreted two ways and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one.
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.
Whenever possible, Please say whatever you have to say during commercials.
Christopher Columbus did NOT need directions and neither do we.
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. And we have no idea what mauve is.
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.
If you ask a question you don’t want an answer to, Expect an answer you don’t want to hear.
When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine…Really.
Don’t ask us what we’re thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as hunting, fishing, golfing, or something with wheels.
Lastly, You have enough clothes and way too many shoes.
Well, what do you think ladies? Should we let them live? 🙂
I, like u, found some funny. Like the one that said u can’t ask us to do something and then tell us how to do it. I’ve been married almost 22 yrs, but I admit it took me a while to learn this one. Also, I so wished I could take back all the times I asked my hubby in a disrespectful, complaining, whiney way for help. How insulting to both him and God! Thank u for sharing today. Looking forward to ur Bible study.
Some of those are hysterical!! My best friend hears more of my day to day struggles than my husband, because she understands that I just want to vent. Not that my husband wouldn’t listen while I vent, but he would want to bash someones head in (Possibly his own. LOL) by the time I finished my rant. Oh and we will let them live, but they will never understand us, so I don’t know why they keep trying.
This was great, a good way to start the day. Yes, my husband is so different from me, but I didn’t want to marry myself… Thanks for this, good stuff to remember.
I have found in the twelve years that I have been with my man and the seven that we have been married that each one of those are absolute truth even the one that makes your blood boil!
I love the book and will teach it at my Bible Study when we are finished with our study. Thanks for all the insight you share.
