Good list.

I thought so too :)

[Flo_Evans]

But F1 racedays are on a sunday.

.

[SteveWinwood]

Yes.

You don't pay attention to people?

And yeah sunday is sports. What is saturday? College crap?

[Danielsan]

Some of these apply. Most of them are terrible.

ALL men see in only 16 colours. Peach, for example, is a fruit, not a colour. We have no idea what mauve is.

This one always cracks me up though.

[worldrevolution]

Maybe a lot of you replying are single but uh..as a married man..this list is well..erm.. let's just say I smiled and cried at the same time while reading it.

[Lissar]

This one is so true for me.

This is also true for me.

I am a woman.

It's my boyfriend who is always having to remind me of things and getting irritated if I don't remember. :<

Also, "crying is blackmail" kind of makes me angry. I haven't cried because of something someone said to me since I was a young woman, but it certainly wasn't something I would have done if I could have helped it. Most people I know if they cry aren't doing it specifically to manipulate someone else. It's just a reaction.

[RustyNails]

Cant wait for the inevitable Women's rules for Men. These things should be nuked from orbit. They make me puke.

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 whining about you leaving it down. Sometimes we are not thinking about you. Live with it. Ask for what you want. Subtle hints do not work! Strong hints do not work! Obvious hints do not work! Just say it! We don’t remember dates. Mark them on a calendar and remind us frequently. Check your oil! Please. If you think you’re fat, you probably are. Don’t ask us. We refuse to answer that question anymore. ALL men see in only 16 colours. Peach, for example, is a fruit, not a colour. We have no idea what mauve is. We are not mind readers and we never will be. If we ask what is wrong and you say “nothing,” we will believe you.

I agree with these at least. The subtle hints, thinking about you and the color ones especially drive me nuts.

I don't get the saturday=sports thing though. There's nothing of importance that's routinely on saturdays. Maybe they meant Sunday for football.

[Bamelin]

Good list.

I agree. laughed too. So many of those things I can relate to with my wife.

[The Anti-Monitor]

Maybe a lot of you replying are single but uh..as a married man..this list is well..erm.. let's just say I smiled and cried at the same time while reading it.

What about those of us who are women?

And I wish the "nothing" thing was true. It's so assumed we are lying people don't believe you. I used to chat a lot with this guy, but if for some reason I wasn't as talkative as usual but said nothing was wrong, he'd get offended as fuck as I was obviously hiding something.

And I call all colors the same, too.

[Dahellisdat]

This sounds like it was written by a woman. I agree with some of these but most of them are just dumb.

[Bamelin]

This reminds I have to do some Facebook clean up soon.

I'm pretty sure there was an article not long ago that showed the WNBA had more ratings than Hockey (probably non-playoffs) did in the US. So no, not hockey.

[Kaizer]

While some these are spot-on for people in general, not just women, it's a pretty "duder" list. Sounds like something they'd play on a commercial for SpikeTV.

[Bamelin]

Your assuming the list in OP wasn't created by a Canadian. ;p

[Meier]

This is what is to be a man, if you're 13 years old.

To be honest, a lot of these are pretty accurate regarding how men think versus women. Quite a number (not all, but many) apply to my real life.

[Canadian Psycho]

I've had several arguments about this over the years. Good list.

Dude, yesterday I drank like a whole bottle of beer. I'm such an alcoholic lololololol

[NaturalHigh]

And so you decided the best course of action was to propagate it?

Came to say this.

[Ezalc]

Eh pretty terrible list but I agree on a few of the points, like the subtle hints one.

[CornBurrito]

The "you have too many shoes" thing is funny, since I know a lot of men with an unnecessary amount of sneakers.

[shanshan310]

Stereotypes!

[worldrevolution]

For those of you who are women, well, you have your own list of pet peeves about us right? It's not sexist or ignorant to understand that there are things in life (small, like the majority of this list, but sometimes giant too) that men and women are naturally hardwired to be on opposite sides of. Cue the cliche cymbal... that's life.

As for the "nothing" thing, I think your friend is just conditioned to the woman rules that if you say "nothing" we HAVE to assume "something" otherwise we're insensitive and don't care ..ties into the whole mindreader thing too.

College Football is on Saturdays. College Football is the best sport in the world.

[LosDaddie]

Except for when ACC teams play in BCS games

[entrement]

But you're just spreading the stupid. If you think the "war of the sexes (and goddamn if that isn't one of the most trite, hackneyed phrases in all of the English language)" making the rounds on the net is a problem, then the solution is to ignore that stuff, not to repost it in highly visible places. Now the meme is winning.

I don't take things like this too seriously. Meh.

If you're ignorant to accept it at face value, without context or critical thinking, that's a bigger problem. It's just for laughs.

Except I don't think of men as being a monolithic whole. If something annoys me it annoys me about one particular person, not half the population. I can't think of anything that the entire gender does that annoys me.

[shidoshi]

Having the toilet seat up when not in use seems disgusting to me. I don't know why men would want to always leave it up.

Both sexes, however, should shut up during a movie/tv show/sporting event if it's obvious the other person cares about watching it (and is not just doing so casually).

[macuser1of5]

Maybe a lot of you replying are single but uh..as a married man..this list is well..erm.. let's just say I smiled and cried at the same time while reading it.

Maybe uh I'm married!

I leave it up so I wont have to put it up next time I take a piss. *shrug*

Works for me.

[Buddha Beam]

I pretty much agree with all of these.

But I'm also a horrible human being, so...

[Replicant]

Having the toilet seat up when not in use seems disgusting to me. I don't know why men would want to always leave it up.

What's the point of putting it down when you're going to have to lift it up again eventually when you got to pee? The only time I got the seat down is when I need to shit.

The list was silly but there are some items that are true, like the toilet seat. It's not a big deal, FFS. If you see it up and you need it down, then just put it down. Why must one feel that one's preferred position is the correct one? Just as it inconveniences you to have to put it down, it also inconveniences the other person who needs to pull it up. But the truth is, it doesn't need to be inconvenient to anyone. It only becomes inconvenient because you feel petty about this kind of thing, which frankly is ridiculous because it's just a toilet seat. There are better arguments you can spend your energy on.

[evilromero]

Is it OK to find the list funny?

Yes. Because otherwise you're just too serious and need to loosen up. I actually feel like the toilet comment makes perfect sense. Why would women even complain about that when men have to put it up just as much. Seems a silly nitpicky thing.

[frequency]

I have no comment on the validity of the list. It's just a bunch of silly stereotypes about both genders. But I have a question.


I feel really silly and a bit embarrassed to ask this but...

Why does the toilet seat have to be up when you use it? There's a hole to the water even if it's down.


EDIT: Also, I listened to a radiolab thing the other day that was talking about colours. Women actually are capable of seeing more colours than men.

[DJ88]

Damn, a lot of you are way too up tight. Some of them are pretty true, but of course there's always going to be some exceptions to the rule.

[jon bones]

Saturday = Sports

Check your oil! Please.

ALL men see in only 16 colours. Peach, for example, is a fruit, not a colour. We have no idea what mauve is.

You have enough clothes.

You have too many shoes.

These are all stupid.

Saturday is for Sports? Laughable. Sunday is for sports. Luckily, my girl is a die hard football fan.

I would not expect my girl to be able to check her oil. I like working on cars, and I like being relegated to resident mechanic.

Men can't have an opinion on matters of aesthetic? Right...

Clothes are awesome.

I probably have more sneakers than my girl has shoes. Mmm.... Jordans.

[Loki]

First, The whole color thing is stupid. To the human eye there are only 6 colors: red, blue, green, cyan, magenta, and yellow. Everything else is just a variation or combination of one of those colors. So "lemon" and "morning sunshine" really are both just a type of yellow (and probably have a specific pantone number). However, the idea that men can't discern between the plethora of shades and saturations that exist is idiotic.

Way to overanalyze things lol. Pretty sure he didn't actually mean that we can't see/discern more than 16 colors. It was an offhand way of saying that most men don't concern themselves with learning/remembering a million names for various hues the way women do. And, from my experience, this is true. Nearly every girl I know knows a ton of obscure colors whereas most men only know the basics.

[Lord_Byron28]

To be honest, a lot of these are pretty accurate regarding how men think versus women. Quite a number (not all, but many) apply to my real life.

Meh while I can see a bunch of these this thing just reeks of Spike TV. For just about every point on the list I can think of an exception. I've been yelled at and gotten into arguements over the toilet seat but I've also been to plenty of ladies houses who simply don't care. I know plenty of men with good memory and are pretty observant/creative when it comes to gift giving. I know women who simply don't care and will answer yes/no to the point of being insensitive. I know men who don't watch sports. I know a lot of female football fans. I know straight men that have a lot of clothes and shoes. There are plenty of men on this very site that don't drink beer. I know women who don't care about purses and don't "love" shopping. The list can go on.

While I can see most of these and have dealt with most of these problems before it's a fairly annoying generalization to represent Men and to depict women.

Anyway stupid list is stupid. It wasn't meant to be taken all the seriously I don't think. I'm curious to see the women's list that was going around cause I imagine that would be just as bad.

[claviertekky]

The writing style reeks entitlement.

Most of the complaints are very childish.

What a stupid list.

[Buddha Beam]

Yes. Because otherwise you're just too serious and need to loosen up. I actually feel like the toilet comment makes perfect sense. Why would women even complain about that when men have to put it up just as much. Seems a silly nitpicky thing.

In fairness, we don't NEED to put it up. Impeccable aim and all that.

But when our aim is anything less than impeccable, the gals can't complain because THEY didn't put the seat back up!

[Replicant]

I have no comment on the list. It's just a bunch of silly stereotypes about both genders. But I have a question. I feel really silly and a bit embarrassed to ask this but... Why does the toilet seat have to be up when you use it? There's a hole to the water even if it's down.

Because when a guy pee, we pee standing and sometimes it's hard to control the direction of our urine. If the toilet seat is down, it's likely that we'll splash it with our urine all over. The bigger the hole can accommodate the urine, the better it is for us. That's why men lift the toilet seat up because it's more convenient for us to do so when peeing.

It's king of queens level humor.

[MThanded]

We echoing stuff from facebook now?

[Derrick01]

College Football is on Saturdays. College Football is the best sport in the world.

How can it be when it's kids playing a sport? It's nowhere near as skillful as the Pro version, just like college basketball or college anything really.

[Lucius86]

But F1 racedays are on a sunday.

I blame this for being single. Saturdays and Sundays are sport days.

[Lord_Byron28]

We echoing stuff from facebook now?

Yeah maybe we should all post stupid things we hear on Facebook. I especially love when people try to be advice columns offering sage advice when a lot of the time it doesn't make sense.

[LosDaddie]

It wasn't meant to be taken all the seriously I don't think. .

You don't say. :lol

[Buddha Beam]

It's king of queens level humor.

We're on a forum where a significant chunk of us glorify things like Adventure Time and My Little Pony.
