We have all seen, heard and read many insights into the male psyche. I tell women that it is us who are the complex enigmas we pretend men to be. They are, they want to be and they are not insulted by being called simple creatures...as long as that gets them fed, sex and time to watch their shows.
This very simple list found it's way into my e-mail and it just sums up a man's perspective. Just to be sure I asked 10 very different men if they agreed and they all said, "finally a quick guide for women, will you send that to my wife, please?"
Note: They are all numbered one on purpose.
1. 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.
1. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. All comments are null after 7 days.
1. If you think you're fat, you probably are. Don't ask us.
1. If something we said can be interpreted two ways and one makes you sad or angry, we meant the other way.
1. You can either ask us to do something or tell us how you want it done. Not both.
1. Whenever possible, please say whatever you have to say during commercials.
1. Christopher Columbus did NOT need directions and neither do we.
1. ALL men see in only 16 colors. Peach, is a fruit, not a color. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have NO idea what mauve is.
1. If it itches, it will be scratched. We do that.
1. If we ask what is wrong and you say 'nothing,’ We will act like nothing's wrong. We know you are lying but it's not worth the hassle.
1. If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, Expect an answer you don't want to hear.
1. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine... Really!
1. Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss baseball or golf.
1. You have enough clothes.
1. You have too many shoes.
1. I am in shape. Round IS a shape!
1. 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.

It really is that simple isn't it? We women tend to make relationships much more complicated than they need to be because we can't accept the fact that there aren't layers and layers of complexity to navigate. We tend to think that men are like us...a web of confusing messages when in fact, they are like reading a book and it's all there in plain black and white. If we could only get that, we'd make our own lives a lot easier. Thanks, Saundra, for reminding us!
