An open letter to women


  • 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.

  • Sunday = sports. It's like the full moon or the changing of the tides. Let it be.

  • Shopping is NOT a sport. And no, we are never going to think of it that way.

  • Crying is 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 it!

  • "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.

  • A headache that lasts for 17 months is a problem. See a doctor.

  • 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.

  • 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. We have no idea what mauve is.

  • If it itches, it will be scratched. We do that.

  • 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 baseball, the shotgun formation, or monster trucks.

  • You have enough clothes.

  • You have too many shoes.

  • I am in shape. ROUND is a shape.



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.

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.I don't want to look inside the toiletbowl everytime I walk in the bathroom and see anybody's "remnants" (floaty bits). Can we compromise and put the seat AND the lid down? That way, we'd both have to lift and lower.


Sunday = sports. It's like the full moon or the changing of the tides. Let it be. Okay, but can you at least help us with repairs at home sometimes, or spend a little time with your children? Just for a few hours, then watch TV?


Shopping is NOT a sport. And no, we are never going to think of it that way. Just like we'll never think farting or burping is funny, I suppose...lol


Crying is blackmail. Most of the time, we cry only because we're genuinely sad about something. Some of us are actually quite embarrassed to be caught crying. If you're with someone who cries to get things or to manipulate you--that's sick, and I'm sorry


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! Agreed! Good point! Just please don't accuse us of being overly aggressive if we do?

"Yes" and "No" are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question. From 3 year olds, yes wink


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. This is sad. And aren't we usually there for you when you want to vent or need sympathy? However, I agree that after awhile, if there's nothing that can be done about the situation, it's best to leave it be.


A headache that lasts for 17 months is a problem. See a doctor. Or you could read some sex manuals on how a man can find the clitoris and last longer than 5 mins? wink


Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. In fact, all comments become null and void after 7 days. nod Goes both ways


If you think you're fat, you probably are. Don't ask us. that is, admittedly, quite annoying when women do that!

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


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. I swear you guys do that on purpose--do it really poorly so that we never ask you to do it again! LOL


Whenever possible, please say whatever you have to say during commercials.Agreed! That is annoying, too!


Christopher Columbus did not need directions, and neither do we.You are not captain of the ship! If you're driving and have zero sense of direction and we're trapped in the car with you--you're gonna get an earful! lol


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.Gotcha!


If it itches, it will be scratched. We do that.Could you look around and see who's in the room first before you do that? Like the minister or my parents? Oh, and you won't mind then if I pull up my bra straps in public!wink

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.Understandable--I don't like that either! But if we tell you what's wrong in a reasonable way , please don't accuse us of "bitching"...


If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, expect an answer you don't want to hear.Gotcha! wink


When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine. Really. 10-4, Good Buddy!


Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as baseball, the shotgun formation, or monster trucks.I might not be prepared to discuss those topics at length, but I'll accept that that's what you're really thinking about! smile


You have enough clothes.For this season, maybe! wink


You have too many shoes.see above answer


I am in shape. ROUND is a shape. lolAnd that goes for both of us--especially if I have had babies!
