Women and the point system


For thousands of years, men have tried to understand the rules when dealing with women. Finally, this merit/demerit guide will help you to understand just how it works. Remember, in the world of romance, one single rule applies: Make the woman happy. Do something she likes, and you get points. Do something she dislikes and points are subtracted. You don't get any points for doing something she expects. Sorry, that's the way the game is played.

Here is a guide to the points system:

11. And no liners.....-25

12. You check out a suspicious noise at night.....0

13. You check out a suspicious noise and it is nothing.....0

14. You check out a suspicious noise and it is something.....+5

15. You pummel it with a six iron.....+10

16. It's her cat.....-40

     Why Men Lie
     

          One day,  while a woodcutter was cutting a branch of a tree above a river, his  axe fell into the river.   When he cried out, the Lord appeared and asked, "Why are you crying?"  The woodcutter replied that his axe had fallen into water, and he needed the axe to make his living.
     
          The Lord went down into the water and reappeared with a golden  axe.  "Is this your axe?" the Lord asked.
     
          The woodcutter replied, "No."
     
          The Lord again went  down and came up with a silver axe.   "Is this your axe?" the Lord  asked.
     
          Again, the woodcutter replied, "No."
     
          The Lord went down again and came up with an iron axe.   "Is this  your axe?" the Lord asked.
     
          The woodcutter  replied, "Yes."
     
          The Lord was pleased with the man's  honesty and gave him all three axes to keep, and the woodcutter went home happy.
     
          Some time later the woodcutter was walking with his wife along the riverbank, and his wife fell into the river.   When he cried out, the Lord again appeared and asked him, "Why are  you crying?"
     
          "Oh Lord, my wife has fallen into the  water!"
     
          The Lord went down into the water and came up with Jennifer Lopez.   "Is this your wife?" the Lord asked.
     
          "Yes," cried the woodcutter.
     
          The Lord  was furious.   "You lied! That is an untruth!"
     
          The  woodcutter replied, "Oh, forgive me, my Lord.   It is a misunderstanding.  You see, if I had said 'no' to Jennifer Lopez, You would have come up with Catherine Zeta-Jones.  Then if I also said 'no' to her, You would have come up with my wife.   Had I then said 'yes,'  you would have given all three to me.   Lord, I am a poor man, and am  not able to take care of all three wives, so THAT'S why I said yes  to Jennifer Lopez."
     
          The moral of this story  is: Whenever a man lies, it is for a good and honorable reason, and  for the benefit of others.
     

            (That's our story, and we're sticking to it!)
Where was that again?

Laiynla,

All in all, a nice list of items that I have found many to be true when dealing with women I have known.  And although, there is much frustration in dealing with the logic that I find myself confronted with, I would not trade them for anything.

A few tid bits I would like to add to your already excellent list of items:

1) In regards to movies, shows and activities of interest when you ask her to pick the movie, show, or other place to chill and relax, realize:
a) Sometimes I have found that they will pick a place or movie that I love just to see if I will go there or come back with an alternative more in line with their interest.  Example, I have a friend that when I ask her what movie she would like to see, she comes up with a list of movies that she thinks I want to see that she will tolerate.  We, men, need to try and do the same for them.
b) Sometimes simply asking for their input is a 100 point demerit, as sometimes, they don't want to think about something you are putting together.  Be willing to brainstorm and make some plans.  I have found that if you can come up with a couple of options all of which they like is a big winner.

2) If they say something like "whatever you get me for my birthday (christmas, valentines), I don't want any (flowers, candy, stuffed animals, etc.)" really means "I want this AND something else".

3) Never agree with a woman when they are bashing women and women logic.  Trust me, that is not what they want. Deduction -10,000.

4) When you find yourself a passenger in a car being driven by a women who is driving wildly with many people honking their horn at her and she comments, "why is every one driving so crazy?", I have found silence is the only wise response.  If someone has more insight on this one, I would like to hear it.

Later all.
