Default Marie Claire: Things a Man Should Never Do in the Company of a Woman

*Mods, feel free to move this if it's not in the right spot*

Reveal how much your car cost.

Clean your gun.

Polish high school trophies (which you still have displayed).

Refer to your mother as your best friend.

Rap.

Check out our assistant/roommate/the baby-sitter.

Question our footwear.

Blow-dry your hair.

Tip less than 20 percent.

Celebrity impressions.

Impressions of us.

Forget to carry cash.

Flip it, flop it, swing it around, tug on it, adjust it, scratch it, or do anything that will remind us that it's just a goofy appendage and not a mystical source of pleasure and satisfaction.

Wii.

Boot and rally.

Screamat the dog, at the guy who just stole your parking spot, at Bill Belichick. Because, no matter how much Belichick deserves it (cheater!), when we hear you raise your voice, we have an idea of what we're in for.

Talk about former exploits. Ever.

Use the words bitch, slut, tramp, or whore, unless referring to another man.

Tell us you're going to kiss us. (Just get on with it!)

I'd have to agree with most of them except for the tipping thing- horrible service warrants at least a 20% tip?

maybe its just me, but DF does all this stuff around me. once youre together for a long time and live together you cant help but do everything in front of each other. and honestly, i enjoy him doing a lot of it. (he does a lot, not all of the things listed.) it makes me laugh when he raps (he sucks), and impressions are hilarious.

Clean your gun.

He doesn't have a gun (I think that's a good thing)

Polish high school trophies (which you still have displayed).

If he had trophies, I would prefer that they be polished since I'm allergic to dust mites.

Refer to your mother as your best friend.

Meh...dunno...

Rap.

That would just be funny

Check out our assistant/roommate/the baby-sitter.

That would be bad!

Question our footwear.

I don't wear any weird or high shoes...so this doesn't apply to us.

Blow-dry your hair.

What if he's in a rush? I don't care.

Tip less than 20 percent.

I only let him tip 15%...I think 20% is ridiculous

Celebrity impressions.

That could be cute...

Impressions of us.

He does this all the time, I think it's cute!

Forget to carry cash.

So? He just stops at the ATM if he needs to.

Flip it, flop it, swing it around, tug on it, adjust it, scratch it, or do anything that will remind us that it's just a goofy appendage and not a mystical source of pleasure and satisfaction.

Haha, I think it's cute and funny when he has to adjust things! He adjusted himself in his sleep once in the car, it was hilarious

Wii.

The Wii is fun! Plus, he's a gamer, so I'd never dream of depriving him of his video games!

Boot and rally.

What the heck does that mean?

Screamat the dog, at the guy who just stole your parking spot, at Bill Belichick. Because, no matter how much Belichick deserves it (cheater!), when we hear you raise your voice, we have an idea of what we're in for.

He gets angry at other drivers sometimes, but I don't mind because he would never yell at me.

Talk about former exploits. Ever.

He has no former exploits. I'm his first girlfriend.

Use the words bitch, slut, tramp, or whore, unless referring to another man.

Don't care because I'm not a ridiculous inist. Plus, he would never call me any of those things.

Tell us you're going to kiss us. (Just get on with it!)

Don't care.

Ah... very entertaining list I'm surprised more bodily functions did not make it on the list (I'm talking about the gaseous and salivial kind). Are those for granted?

SO doesn't do any of those things...maybe he'll get mad at stupid driver but I can't recall him ever yelling...and tipping varies because I decide how much to tip, not him.

It's so ridiculous to want equal rights and all in a sexist world.

We are both former service industry workers and never, ever tip less than 20%.

A lot of this stuff seems rather...regionally specific. Boot and rally?

Think this might have been better titled 'things a man should never do on the first three dates' ;-)

I've cleaned MY gun in front of a guy before... hahaha
