Guy Rules

The problem is a miscomunication. Shopping to a man means an entirely different thing than shoppng for a girl. Sure we hear it all of the time, men hate to shop. But actually that is simlpy not true. Men love to shop. We adore shopping. We crave the textile feel of new things in our fingertips. Confussed?

If you want flowers (an organic gift that typically costs over $50 and 'dies' about 5 days later) you better tell us and give some directions. Sure we can assume, based on cultural references and the overwhelming desire for our own 'personal favors', that you might want flowers but face it... its just not something that makes sense. They die. Dead, wilted masses of organic waste that get thrown out a few days after purchase.

Guy Rule - Just because we do something once doesn't mean we have to always do it.

Yes we do like being nice. In fact it is nice to be nice, but just because one day we take the time to do the dishes or fold the laundry does not mean that we have to do it every day going forward. It takes away the 'specialness' of the nice act when it automatically becomes an expectation.
