Hark and pay heed

Women,

Don't give crap to a guy you're not dating. If you're just friends and you nag him or treat him like a bitch that's not good. Men are hard to find (not as much if you're a homewrecker) and if you give a man crap he will give you crap back. You're just going to end up getting everyone pissed off and nothing gained. A guy who doesn't give crap back either isn't a man or is looking for some play.

Intergender friendships are difficult. To be friends with a guy you have to understand the male rules of friendship.

  • Speak only when you have something interesting to say
  • If you must speak then say something interesting
  • If you are angry or pissed off or feel slighted say something or express it obvisiously (cursing and punching a wall are obvious, silent treatment not so much)
  • Friends carry their own burdens, pay thier own share. It's one thing to help or be helped, it's another to expect it.
  • If something disgusting is done it is fine to comment, forbidden to outlaw ("Oh man! What did you eat?" not "ew, that's disgusting, don't do that again")
  • Comment and observe but don't pass judgement.
  • Give and Take.
  • A gentlemen always knows and respects debts or gratitude owed without being reminded.
  • You and a friend should always be on the same team, no snitching.
If ya want to be friends with a guy you should know these things. You don't have to follow them as unbreakable rules but they are good guidelines.

If you give a guy enough grief you'll have one less friend.

Spoken words of wisdom I do say Kev; this could be the single most powerful post to date. It speaks with a simple elegance, yet is unwavering in its message. All girls would be wise to head these guidelines if they wish to keep men as plutonic friends. Sadly most women look at male friends as "dick's in glass" to be broken in case of emergency. I think that this post is a stepping stone to end the mistreatment of countless men banished to the "FRIEND ZONE".

Cheers
