This is out to all the females that think that they’re always misunderstood. I know I can speak for all the guys out there, when I say that we feel the same way as well. Here are some things that we feel that females get the wrong impression about us men. These are some of our guidelines you need to take into consideration:
- We are not mind readers, so don’t think we always know what’s on your minds. You want us to know how you feel just tell us in the easiest way that we can understand you. We are definitely not mind readers. You know what? Learn to work the toilet seat, you're a big girl. If it's up, put it down; too easy! We need it up, you need it down. You never hear us complain that the toilet seat is down.
- This one is very important, Sunday = Sports. It's like the full moon or the changing of the tides, just let it be... and no, shopping is not a sport and never will it become one.
- Crying is blackmail, don’t bother trying, we men will eventually learn not to cave in.
- When special holidays roll around, ask for what you want. Let me be clear on this one: subtle hints do not work, strong hints do not work, and obvious hints do not work! Just tell me what it is that you want!
- Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.
- 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. A headache that lasts for 17 months is a problem, please go see a doctor.
- Anything we say six months ago is inadmissible in an argument. In fact, all comments become null and void after 7 Days.
- If you won't dress like the Victoria’s Secret girls, don't expect us to act like soap opera guys.
- If you think you're fat, you probably are. Please don't ask us, it’s a lose - lose situation for us guys.

- If something that we said can be interpreted into two ways and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we definitely meant the other one.
- You can either ask us to do something or tell us how you want it done, but definitely not both.
- If you already know what the best way is, just do it yourself.
- When watching TV, please say whatever it is you have to say during the commercial breaks.
- Most men see in only 16 colors, like the Windows default settings. Peach, for example, is a fruit, not a color. Pumpkin is also a fruit, but we have no idea what Mauve is.
- If shit itches, it will be scratched. We do that, please don’t tell us otherwise.
- If we ask what is wrong and you say "nothing," We will act like nothing is wrong. We know that you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle.
- If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, expect an answer you don't want to hear.
- When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine, really.
- Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as sex, cars, hunting, fishing, the shotgun formation, hockey, baseball, basketball or golf.
- Lastly never complain that you have nothing to wear. You have enough clothes and you have too many shoes.
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; soft couch, big plasma TV, and a cold brewsky. Can’t get any better.

lol what do we feel..??? hunger.. lust... anger .. confusion.. lol thats about it..
This list is overused.
Maybe not on Xanga, but in general, I've seen it at least five times.i think i saw this on an email chain... 5 years ago
@unabridgedtales@xanga - Yep.
Also, I WISH I had too many shoes. My boyfriend has more than I do. And he does tell me when I look bad in an outfit - it's appreciated. Why would you take it as an insult?
I think stereotypes are boring...
This list is, as aforementioned, overused. And harsh. I know for a fact that this list does not apply to all men, so please stop trying to make it seem so.
Oh, and the toilet seat is a big issue. It's not like having a smaller hole to pee in is just as bad as falling into the toilet water. C'mon. Girls are so used to sitting most don't even look.
Someone burn this. It's been overly used. It's right up there with Lindsay Lohan.
Was this a repeat? Sounds typical, really.
These are stupid. And mostly false.
hah!
OGMOSH!!!!! i cant stop laughing haha great entertianment:)
i like the part if u dont dress up like the Victoria’s Secret girls, don't expect us to act like soap opera guys. LOL
I find this pretentious.
Wow, this is so true! (If you're a jackass)
And I have seen this on Xanga before.
So dumb.
baha. ive seen this before, but its actually pretty spot on, and if i guy isnt like that hes doing it for your sake. but if all women abided by this list their men would be happier
@tykazowsky@xanga - Oh, you're so right. Even better, we should be chained to the stove and only be released to serve you cold beer. The world would be so much better if women knew their places.
Jackass.
i really shouldn't read mancouch, every time i do i lose a little more faith in men.
@CommunismIsForLovers@xanga - lol i guess thats why were not dating
also if you don't put the toilet seat down, especially at night when i'm half asleep, i will beat yo' ass. FALLING IN IS NOT FUN.
"If something that we said can be interpreted into two ways and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we definitely meant the other one."
You sure 'bout that? XP
This post should be titled "What douche bags really feel."
Were the requirements for posting on man couch changed to "write the stupidest, most ignorant piece of shit post possible" while i wasn't looking? I'm basically done reading posts on here.
@soyeahthatswhathappened@xanga - Agreed.
@exist_without_trying@xanga - apparently the requirement for reading it was....you did. bye. don't let the door hit you in the ass.
Smart as men are supposed to be, you know bigger brains and all, they seem aweful slow to me half the time. The world's women, since my granny's granny's gran figured out the logic of faking orgasms all life long to impress truelly yoz and maybe get him to actualy perform up to standard (it owrks by the way, half the time).
What i do not get is why men are so stubborn about hanging on to their nasty habits! cannot figure out why guys havent figured to just do whateva, impress the lady coz this can get her to perform like the 'Victoria Secrets girl'. If you listen to her for a bit, let her cry a bit, the sex and life with her in general will be that much better trust me.
And this i know for sure, no woman that is secure in the knowledge that you are Romeo, albeit the result of good faking, will discontinue boys night out or talk unless its commercial time. Tried and tested!!!
Somewhat funny, somewhat stereotypical of men, somewhat overused. Ah, what the hell...what else is new?
Wow, you're a very very boring man.
If "Men" means "heartless bastards" then yes this list is so true!
