Speaking of Man Rules, What Should Men Never Do List

[toys2cool]

While walking down the street always walk on the outside closest to traffic.

I've always done that anyway,I didn't know there was a reason for it.What is it ? I just do it for her to be safer

Never ask the guy in the stall next to you to borrow some paper.

Always check the stall before entering!!! (unless you are having one of those "Dumb & Dumber" turbo lax moments, which is usually the time there is no paper)

Another rule:

Do not let her drive when both of you are in the car (unless you been drinking, medical condition, etc) and if she is driving you, you still tell her the directions no matter how wasted you are!!!

Never and I mean never walk around in the locker room with the towel over your shoulder when you are finished your shower!!!
Wrap it around your waist for crying out loud!!!
I go to the gym with my son he is a little over three and a half feet tall.
Now think about that!!!
Would you want some ten foot tall naked guy walking in front of you in the locker room???

Someone could lose an eye!!!!!

Now it would probably be for safety reasons. In the old days, I'd imagine it would be to keep the women a bit farther away from the raw sewage running down the streets.

Actually, back in the Medieval era the lady always walked on the right of her escort.
And for practical reasons.
Men almost always wore their swords on their left hip, as they were right handed.
So, if a lady was on his left, she would be in the way when he went to draw his sword. And/or could be injured by the sword being drawn.

hit a woman in anger??

Never hit a woman.

In Most cases Hector, I would agree. However, me and my sisters fought like cats and dogs when we were little. Secondly, my mother taught me, "To never hit a women in anger unless she put herself in the position of a man". I have encountered two women in my adult life that have done that. In both cases, I was in a fight with their boyfriend and I was winning and they got involved to help their man. The first came from me from behind and raked her nails of her left hand across the left side of my face drawing blood and almost costing me the sight in my left eye. The second, one, tried to break a beer bottle over my head, which didn't knock me out. They both got exactly what a man would have got for doing that.

That makes sense. But I wonder how a lefty like me would handle the situation. Oh well, I probably wouldn't be much of a swordsman anyway.

From what I was taught that way back in the day people would just throw their trash out of their windows into the street. with your lady friend walking closer to the building it lessened the chances of her getting hit with garbage. Also the sewerage theory sounds pretty accurate. I wouldnt know about the sword thing but that too makes sense.

[Chippupperty]

When the woman asks about her weight---always tell her she looks great!!

"I've had better..." is usually a comment which extends the single lifestyle.

Never let her pick the movie.

You pick the movie when it is your turn, and you two agree on a movie when it is her turn.

One of my buddies said he would never watch "The Fried Steel Beaches of Green Magnolia County" again (meaning he had been forced to watch every chick flick known to man, but he played it off like it was only one movie because, after all, they are all the same).

That's exactly what I was taught although chamber pots were more along the line of what I was told.
Gee, I wonder where the Bubonic Plague came from?

Regarding the sword theory, this is the reasoning behind modern military courtesy that specifies that the senior most rank walks and sits to the right of junior personnel. The right is a symbolic post of honor.

In that case...blast them away.

I did not know that SAILDOG....that is a pretty cool piece of information
