Now here are the rules&lt;br&gt;
from the male side. These are our rules! Please note ... these are&lt;br&gt;
all numbered '1' ON PURPOSE!&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;1. Learn to work the toilet seat. You're a big girl. If it's up, put&lt;br&gt;
it down. We need it up, you need it down. You don't hear us&lt;br&gt;
complaining about you leaving it down.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;1. Shopping is NOT a sport. And no, we are never going to think of&lt;br&gt;
it that way.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;1. Crying is blackmail.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;1. Ask for what you want. Let us be clear on this one: Subtle hints&lt;br&gt;
do not work! Strong hints do not work! Obvious hints do not work! Just say it!&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;1. Yes, and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;1. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it.&lt;br&gt;
That's what we do. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;1. A headache that lasts for 17 months is a problem. See a doctor.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;1. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument.&lt;br&gt;
In fact, all comments become null and void after 7 days.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;1. If you won't dress like the Victoria's Secret girls, don't expect&lt;br&gt;
us to act like soap opera guys.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;1. If you think you're fat, you probably are. Don't ask us.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;1. If something we said can be interpreted two ways, and one of the&lt;br&gt;
ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;1. You can either ask us to do something or tell us how you want it&lt;br&gt;
done. Not both. If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;1. Whenever possible, please say whatever you have to say&lt;br&gt;
during commercials.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;1. Christopher Columbus did not need directions and neither do we.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;1. ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings. Peach,&lt;br&gt;
for example, is a fruit, not a color. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have&lt;br&gt;
no idea what mauve is.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;1. If it itches, it will be scratched. We do that.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;1. If we ask what is wrong and you say "nothing," we will act&lt;br&gt;
like nothing's wrong. We know you are lying, but it is just not worth&lt;br&gt;
the hassle.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;1. If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, expect an&lt;br&gt;
answer you don't want to hear.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;1. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine.&lt;br&gt;
Really.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;1. Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless you are prepared&lt;br&gt;
to discuss such topics as baseball, the shotgun formation, or monster&lt;br&gt;
trucks.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;1. You have enough clothes.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;1. You have too many shoes.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;1. I am in shape. Round is a shape.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;1. Thank you for reading this; Yes, I know, I have to sleep on the&lt;br&gt;
couch tonight, but did you know men really don't mind that, it's like&lt;br&gt;
camping. &lt;/p&gt;
