Man Law

Diane Johnson once said, ~Men are generally more law abiding than women. Women have the feeling that since they didn't make the rules, the rules have nothing to with them.~ If you think about it, men and women most definitely go by a different set of unwritten guidelines when it comes to certain things we all do on a semi-daily basis. When it comes to how guys do things, women just scratch their head and no matter how much its explained to give a better understanding it just confuses them even more. Anyways, even though it seems to women that the entire male species is considered idiotic and immature, we do have rules that all men adhere to, which I will share with you now.

Without a doubt, men have been conditioned since the dawn of time to not cry, but there are circumstances in which it's okay for us to shed some tears. The following circumstances are: #1.) The death of man's best friend is cause for tearful mourning due in part to the close bond established. #2.) A particular sports team winning a major championship for the first time in a number of years is cause for tearful celebration, which many male fans of the Boston Red Sox did 2 years ago. #3.) Getting hit, punched, and/or kicked below the belt hard gives guys the right to cry and not only that we can also take as much time to compose ourselves as possible. Note: If you find a guy who is crying for no reason at all just leave....IMMEDIATELY!

Men aren't generally into fashion and that is why there are rules when it pertains to the clothes we wear. Women, as they often tend to do, share clothes and clothing related accessories, which is perfectly acceptable among females. Guys, on the other hand, are prohibited fro ever sharing any clothes because quite frankly it's not how we roll. One of the main reasons sharing clothes is not such a good idea in our book, so to speak, is because guys generally sweat...a lot. Let me tell you something, any guy can agree with me on this and that is if for some off chance a friend or best friend for that matter borrows your clothes and sweats in them then its theirs to keep as their own.

Believe it or not, there are set guidelines that all men go by when using a public bathroom, whether it's crowded or not. The following guidelines are: #1.) Unlike women, there is absolutely no socializing with each other because we're there to do business and we need to concentrate as much as possible. #2.) If a guy is using the standing urinals he must look straight forward or up, but if he starts looking around then there is a possibility of being severely injured. #3.) There must always be a buffer zone separating you and another guy when it involves the standing urinals. Ladies, if you don't know what I'm talking about, ask a guy and he'll try to explain it for the best he can.

In retrospect, there are countless number of rules that guys go by in life that can be considered strange, weird, and/or completely stupid. Rules such as: It's perfectly okay to eat food off the floor it was there for less than 5/10 seconds; A guy must wait six months before asking out the girl that your friend or best friend broke up with; A guy must not spend more than 30 minutes in a store or a mall; Men don't use twist ties to close a bread bag, we spin the bag around and tie the bag; Every guy is obligated to watch Scarface, The Godfather 1-3, and all the Rocky movies; Duct tape solves everything, which we learned from watching MacGyver. In the end, it's the rules that every guy lives by and knows by heart has come to be known as man law.
