Hi everyone. So living with 3 guys I've made a lot of observations about male thinking and behavior. So I decided to share them with you.
1. A promiscuous guy is a stud. A promiscuous woman is a slut.
2. When you're out with your boyfriend and you get mad when you notice another girl checking him out he smiles and says " she's just looking. What's the big deal?" But when he notices another guy checking you out that's messed up and he starts talking about knocking the guy crosseyed.
3. When you're shopping with a guy and you want to look at something you're wasting time and he asks why you can't ever just buy what you need and be done. But if he's looking at stuff and you complain he tells you to chill out and asks if you need to be somewhere or something.
4. A guy will do anything if another guy dares him no matter how stupid or dangerous it is. If he does get hurt doing it he will say " yeah, but I still did it". Yeah, I lost my arms and legs and went deaf and blind but I did the dare.
5. A guy will go to ridiculous lengths to avoid sitting close to another guy or accidently touching them. Apparently they are afraid accidental physical contact with another guy could cause them to turn gay.
6. Guys can't resist messing with another guy who's passed out. A guy who passes out around other guys can expect to get his head and eyebrows shaved, genitals drawn on his face or forehead, be stripped naked and left exposed in public and all manor of equally unpleasant things. And it's hilarious if you do that stuff to someone. But if you're the one who passed out then it's messed up and wrong.
7. If a guy sees another guy crying, not only will he not try to comfort him, he will quickly leave the area as if he might catch sensitivity from the guy.
8. Guys think it's hilarious to scare you with rubber roaches. But if they happen to be afraid of say spiders, and you do the same thing to them with a rubber spider, then it's messed up and you're a cruel monster. Just like having a guy scare you all the time is hilarious but when you do it to him it's messed up and totally not funny.
9. A guy will complain about how long it takes you to get ready and tell you you don't need all that make-up. Then if you don't have it on they will say " are you sick? You look awful".
10. In the rare event a guy does a little housework he not only expects you to notice it, he expects to be praised for it. You can spend all day cleaning the house and not only does he not notice, if you say you spent all day cleaning he says " oh, did you?". But if you don't clean the house he will ask why "this place is such a mess".
11. If a guy doesn't know how to use something, instead of asking someone who does know he just says the item he's having trouble with is " designed stupidly" and he just doesn't bother trying anymore. But if you don't know how to do something it's to be expected since you're just a dumb girl after all.
12. If a guy can't assemble something it's always because the instructions are wrong or unclear or they didn't include all the pieces.
13. A guy will blab nonstop and try to get your attention while you're watching something. But you risk death if say one word to him while he's watching football.
14. Sports and action movies are cool and good entertainment. Shows women like are dumb and sappy.
15. Guys can only identify the basic colors, red, blue, etc. If you say crimson or aubergine their eyes go blank and glassy.
16. If a guy knows or finds out you're ticklish they can't help themselves. You're doomed. But if you tickle them you're being mean.
17. If a guy finishes leftovers he will leave a microscopic amount in the container to avoid having to wash it. My brother is famous for that. I've found containers in the refrigerator with one kernel of corn, one baked bean, one strand of spaghetti, etc.
18. It's a guy rule that as long as no trash falls on the floor then he doesn't have to take it out. I've seen my brother place something on top of an already full trashcan with the skill of an explosives expert just so he won't have to empty it.
19. When a guy tries on an article of clothing, even if he only had it on for 2 seconds, he will throw it in the dirty clothes instead of hanging it back up.
20. To avoid having to wash something a guy will throw a dirty article of clothing in the dryer with a fabric softener sheet rather than wash it.
21. If a guy spills something on the kitchen floor he will kick it all under the stove rather than get the broom. He will also kick stuff he's spilled under the sofa if he can rather than get the vacuum cleaner. I've found all kinds of stuff under both the stove and sofa.
22. Always check your oven before turning it on. When a guy cleans up the kitchen he will stuff anything that can't go in the dishwasher into the oven rather than washing it. Should you turn on the oven and burn something up, he will tell you it's your fault because you should have looked in there before turning it on.
23. And lastly, if a guy is in the mood for sex then everything else becomes totally unimportant. " you can watch TV anytime". " you can give that old man cpr anytime". " I know the missiles are on their way but we can have a quick one before we head for the shelter".
Love this...

There is a significant amount of reality in that list of behaviorial rules.

This is actually hilarious 🤣🤣🤣 there so true! The only thing is I've never know a man read the instructions [emoji39]

I always read instructions ... oh, wait ......
Okay this made me giggle. Just a bit, lol.
I never knew about #17, though. Growing up with two brothers, that never happened. I didn't even know it was a thing.

LOL. I was thinking the same thing about the rule on accepting dares. I can think of a few where I told the guy that what he wanted me to do was incredibly stupid.

One, I knew this was Julia before I read it and two, not all guys are like that or completely so. I'm sure there's a book for women too. I would advise to develop your own set of principles and use them.

My brothers used to do it with orange juice. The thing that got me was that they had to walk past the bin to put it back in the fridge!!!

Oh yeah, they do it with drinks too. My favorite is when my boyfriend totally refills his cup with coffee but makes a point to tell me he saved me some. I get to the coffee pot and there's like an eyedropper full of coffee in there.
Here they call butch lesbian studs. I know it's messed up of me but I'll never use that term the way I used to ever again...

If they ever get lost, they simply cannot ask for directions, for fear it'll make than look like failures. They'd rather drive around for hours trying to figure out where they are. This can often result in them sleeping in their cars overnight.

Oh I know. Yet my brother has lectured me about relying on GPS too much and said I need to learn directions in case my GPS stops working. Uh Yeah, if I was going to go to that much trouble why even have the GPS. He can be so dense sometimes!

Here's another one, and it applies to Phillip. We start packing bags for a 3 day trip. He argues that all my stuff should be packed into a spare purse, not keeping in mind that I pack certain things that guys don't.
He packs his stuff, and will put in 4 or 5 pairs of socks, but one one pair of underwear, if he even remembers it. And, his bag is bigger than mine.

I hear comments from all 3 of them about how my purse is huge and I can't possibly need everything I have in it and that they get along fine with no purse. Yet when we go out all three ask me to put their wallets, keys, etc in my purse.
#4, I suspect it affects them at a very early age. The triple dog dare for your enjoyment.

I watched that movie for the first time this past Christmas. When I saw that scene I pictured Tyler and his friends. Lol.
Julia, you've got a real talent for writing. Don't waste it. Do something to develop it further and you could have a really successful future.

Thank you.
Are you going to be authoring paperbacks or novels? Your dad's library could use some good reading by you.
Feel like it could mostly be summarized in the terms of:
+ Self Serving Bias
+ Fundamental Attribution Error
+ Testostrone
+ Agression
+ Societies norms.
It would be only fair to make a sequel called the Big Book of Sexist Female Stereotypes.
Tricky isn't it.

What about the rule about guys not liking it when the shoe is on the other foot? They can pick on others, but nobody is allowed to pick on them?

If I offended you or anyone with this post Im sorry and that wasn't my intent. I only meant this as a kind of humorous list of MY observations of male behavior. I'm not a sexist. To be honest Im not in any way a feminist and I find most of their rant offensive. My loved ones are all male and I love males. I find their behavior both baffling and humorous. As for someone making a big book of female behavior as men see it, I would LOVE to see that. Im sure female behavior is just as baffling to men as theirs is to me and I would enjoy seeing their observations. Im sure my boyfriend, brother and dad could write a list of stuff they observe me doing that's just as long if not longer.
I figured it was generally meant in humor and I like you, so it wasn't directed at you. Not offended, more tired at the atmosphere and the double standard around in general.
I've already come across a post in another thread this morning here that riled me, and I'm sure the poster that made it is going to continue to blame "white men" with impunity for everything under the sun. I get sick of hearing it and the wilful dishonesty of those who peddle this line, especially those who feel suddenly extra-justified that they can because they've transitioned.
But that's not meant for you... It's meant for the ideologues around here and I don't want to derail the thread.
I'd be happy to read such a book and get a kick out of it I'm sure. I just like to remind some of the people around here that if they can give a joke I hope they can take one as well.
Kylo,
You and me both! It's not an honest discussion when it is a projected diatribe (from either side of the fence). Oh and I'll take offence at literally everything you say to me, because mental health, but be certain that if I've sent a quip your way, I'm certainly expecting something back ;)

That is totally my brother. He loves to mess with other people but no ones allowed to mess with him. But that isn't limited to males. I had a friend who was always saying smart ass and insulting stuff to everyone but if someone said something to her the person was a cruel monster. That friendship didn't last long with me being the smart ass I am .
Two pages and not one mention of the worse male trait? Two words: Toilet seat.

Oh yes. That and not replacing the toilet paper when they use it all up. Getting up in the middle of the night and almost breaking your ass falling into the bowl and then realizing there is no toilet paper really sucks!!

It's not difficult to put down

I don't get the toilet seat thing. It's not hard to put down. But it's not hard to put up either. What's the big deal?
If the seat should be down, shouldn't the lid be closed too? I don't know anyone but old folks who keep the lid and the seat down religiously.
My guy friend I live with is constantly putting empty pitchers, orange juice jugs, and empty leftover dishes back in the refrigerator. He doesn't even leave bits of food or drops of beverage, they're completely empty. It's baffling and really annoying when I'm digging to get to my little jug of milk that's always shoved to the back.
Don't forget the courtesy sniff

Tyler leaves minuscule bits of stuff in them because my dad yelled at him and told him if he emptied a dish he had to wash it. So he makes sure to leave a tiny bit in them. Lol.

We do at our house. Because we have at times pets like ferrets and other small critters that could get in the toilet and drown. We don't have them anymore but it is just a habit now. Plus it keeps stuff from falling into the toilet.
