Gender Issues From a Man's Perspective:
Things a Woman Should Know
• Men are NOT mind readers


• Learn to work the toilet seat – you’re a big girl; if it is up, put it down. Men need it up, and women need it down. You don't hear us complaining about you leaving it down. 

• Crying is cheap blackmail and never solves anything. 

• Ask for what you want. To be clear let me spell it out:
Subtle hints do not work!
Strong hints do not work!
Obvious hints do not work!
Just say what it is that you want.

• Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answer to almost every question.

• Come to a man with a problem only if you want help solving it; that is what men do. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.

• Anything a man said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. Frankly, all comments are null and void after 7 days.

• If you think you’re fat, you probably are don't ask a man for his opinion.

• If something a man said can be interpreted two ways and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, it was meant the other way.

• All men see in only 16 colors – somewhat like a windows default setting. Peach, for example, is a fruit, not a color. Pumpkin is a squash. I have no idea what mauve is. 

• If a man asks what is wrong and you say “nothing,” he will act like nothing is wrong – though he knows you are lying, he does not think it is worth the hassle of trying to find out what’s bugging you.

• If you ask a question to which you don't want an answer, expect an answer you don't want to hear.

• When a man has to go somewhere and you are going with him, absolutely anything you wear is fine … REALLY!

• Don't ask a man what he is thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss something that is of no interest to you whatsoever. 

• You have enough clothes.

• You have too many shoes.

• I am in shape … round IS a shape!
