Men are always the last to know

Men are always the last to know. Men never catch on to the rules of life.

A fact, men don't even know they are governed throughout their lives by a set of rules.

It is with great peril that I take pen in hand to disclose these hidden Rules of Life. I promise you, men, that they exist. My telling you the rules really won't change anything, but at least you will know what you are up against.

Here are the Rules of Life that guide all civilization. Any breakdown in these rules will end civilization as we know it.

Rule 1: Females always make the rules. Men are not privy to the rules, but sometimes they figure out part of the scheme. Men never completely understand all the rules.

Rule 2: The rules are always subject to change without notification. It’s called a woman’s prerogative. Men never change the rules because they are not even allowed to know there are any rules. 4 Rule 3: If a female suspects the male knows any rule, she must immediately change the rule. This rule perpetually keeps the male in the dark as to what the rules are.

Rule 4: One of the most fundamental rules of civilization is the female is never wrong. Man really figured this one out centuries ago, but is too insecure to actually bring it up. Therefore, it remains as a true cornerstone of society.

Rule 5: If the female appears to be wrong, it is because of a flagrant misunderstanding, which was a direct result of something the male did or said wrong. Simply stated, the man is never right.

Rule 6: If Rule 5 applies, the male must immediately apologize for causing the misunderstanding. Failure to comply will force upon the man a steady diet of hot tongue and cold shoulder.

Rule 7: The female is allowed to change her mind at any point while the male must never change his mind without express written consent from the female. Failure to complete this cycle of correctness will result in the man being wrong -- again.

Rule 8: The female has every right to be angry or upset in any situation, while the male must remain calm at all times -- unless the female wants the male to be angry or upset. Because men don't know the rule, they walk a slippery slope.

Rule 9: Under no circumstances must the female let the male know whether or not she wants the male to be angry or upset. Rule 9 is forever called the no-win clause of life. Rule 10: If any two females disagree over any of the rules, they are both right. Males may hear the disagreement firsthand, but they not allowed to mention it or give an opinion about the disagreement in question. The correct answer to any female from a male under this rule should be, "You're right."

Now that the rule’s code has been broken, I really don’t know what you guys are going to do with the information. In fact, you’re pretty much stuck here because any attempt to go against the code will end your relationship with women forever. And you know the old saying, “You can’t live with them and you can’t live without them.”

Your best bet is to go with the status quo and act stupid like always. Having too much information can actually be a pain in the neck. The fact is, your life was probably simpler before you read the rules.
