Please Ladies.

[Moonrakers]

I am sure that these things have been asked ad finitum in that past, and that this thread of mine could be a 'ladies in Thailand' forum equivalent to "how much sin-sod" ect, but I must get it of my chest:......

1) Toilet seat... Up or down? Would you all please collaborate so as to give a definitive answer. It seems to be a 50/50 thing that us men somehow, and against the odds, seem to get wrong 80% of the time. How is that even possible?

More importantly, what does it matter anyway?

2) Movies, as in watching movies. I mean as in when actually watching a movie with a guy (lets call him Bob).

Bob has not seen the movie himself, in which case what is the point in asking Bob what is happening?. Bob knows as much as you do and so you are surely better of asking somebody else who has actually seen the movie already. Or even better just watch the movie fukcing yourself which is surely the point of watching it in the first place, right?

And when you ask "what did he say?" and Bob replies "I don't know because I was telling you about the last chapter". There is no need to take massive offence resulting in a big domestic dispute, incidentally Bob wouldn't have actually know anyway because you were talking through that bit of the movie and you have now also spoken through the current bit meaning that when the next chapter comes along .......... can you see a pattern emerging here?

Apologies for my little rant, but some things have to be said.

Oh, and when Bob asks "should the toilet seat be up or down anyway?" , please don't respond with a question like "Why does it bother you so much anyway?". Such responses are a tad tough for us men to handle.

cant agree more.

and regarding the toilet seat i am not sure should we leave it up or down, in my opinion it should stay up, to have proof that it was up when we used it.

for movies, yes i agree, and also must please do not ask us especially if you have chosen the movie, and no one got shot, or nothing blew up in the first 5 minutes.

[sbk]

usually, we ask because we haven't heard what the guy said and hoped you did. Or don't follow the plot and hope maybe you have been able to figure out whats going on.

toilet seat question answered in other thread

You know really guys, you make things far more complicated than they really are.

The last time a guy took me to the cinema he had to wake me up at the end!! It was one of those complicated Keanu films. Keanu may be gorgeous - but his movies are not my cup of tea.

Regarding comments on taking a female to the movies:

Being:

1. male

2. in my 60's

3. attached to one female partner for many years

My comment on taking a pretty young woman to a movie is this:

Which would be better...to have her paying attention to you and asking questions to you all the time; or having her sit there for the whole movie and never even looking at you?

But maybe I'm just dense?

[Lili09]

Toilet seat down... ready to use for the lady! Only guys put it up because they cannot pee without putting some of their liquid on the seat!

Having been married for 5 years now, I would much rather my wife allow me to watch the movie.

No need to talk in a movie theatre... EVER!

If you are bored but your partner seems to be enjoying it then tough it out to the end. Discuss the movie later. Once you learn your partner's tastes then plan what movies to watch together... or go on your own. Most movies are over in 3 hours or less. It's no great hardship to share those three hours with your partner if that is what they enjoy.

[lannarebirth]

Leave the toilet seat down; it's only good manners. As for the movie disturbances, best to go by yourself. It's like your own vacation.

dont you just hate this?

[loong]

Get a Thai squat toilet - no problem with the seat then.

[thithi]

no bob, i do not ever ask you unless you have seen the movie. I would rather finish watching movie myself then talk later.

The Man Rules

At last a guy has taken the time to write this all down

Finally , the guys' side of the story.

( I must admit, it's pretty good.)

We always hear " the rules"

From the female side....

Now here are the rules from the male side.

These are our rules!

Please note.. these are all numbered "1 "

ON PURPOSE!

1. Men are NOT mind readers.

( FIRST & FOREMOST RULE)

1. 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.

1. Sunday sports, It's like the full moon

or the changing of the tides.

Let it be.

1.. Crying is blackmail.

1. 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!

1. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.

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.

In fact, all comments become Null and void 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 of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one

1. 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.

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, 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.

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 is just 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 such topics as Football

or Hockey.

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.

Funny, you say you always see the women rules, but to be honest, i've read this or something like it multiple times (and usually in the women's section--why the need to reiterate this over and over in here? ) but haven't read multiples of women rules quite so much.

and frankly, the bold font and all, is a bit rude. akin to shouting. You won't get very far shouting here

[Pearlgirl]

The "shouting" wasn't intended as I had only copied it from something I had read a few days earlier and apparently that's the way it showed in this post. As for it not being very funny - I thought it was and hadn't seen anything like this before. No rudeness intended - just a bit of humour.
