Rules For Being A Man Post by: Tony Moclair 19 October, 2009 - 4:03 PM

It's not a secret society, but there are some unwritten riles for being in the collective club known as men.

There are things known and some things that can get a bit blurry when your a man. However, there are some borders that don't get crossed under any circumstances.

For example:

Always look annoyed when you have been asked by your partner to hold her handbag.

Men do not share umbrellas, unless it is raining at the footy and your pie is getting wet.

Unless you're in prison, never fight naked.

There is no reason for guys to watch ice skating or mens gymnastics.

Have you got a rule for being a man, please add it to the list?

  A real man follows the rule of never drinking your last stubby at the bottom of the esky at a BBQ.

  Under any circumstances, it doesn't matter how hot it is never, ever, rub sunscreen on a mate. You would rather burn like a lobster.

  Seldom does an occasion grant license for men to dance, but in the unlikely circumstance it does 3 rules must be adhered. 1.The shirt must be fully or partially untucked and the tie removed or loosened (preferably to one side), beer may be applied/spilt to the shirt. This dishevelled appearance indicates to other men that you are too hammered to know better therefore no hard feelings or stigma is endured. 2. Under no circumstance can the males hands be raised above shoulder height, this warrants instant dismissal from the heterosexual community. 3. If/when a dance-off should occur with another male, the only way to win is with the unassisted back spin. Throwing hand-shapes is just lazy and uncommitted. Remember, no good can come of man-dancing. Sore head, ripped suit and ruined shirt are just some of the physical side-effects of man-dancing, not to mention the mental scaring forced on innocent spectators, wife's and girlfriends.

  A real man doesn't abbreviate on text messages. If a mate sends Soz m8, I'm runnin L8 2 the pub :( C U sn, lol - Finish your drink and leave the pub, make it clear that you will never speak to him again until he has written a formal apology and promises never to repeat this ever again.

  As unlikely as it is ; in the event that you meet a nice girl on a footy trip , it is appauling as a man, to attend a follow up date with that girl whilst still on the footy trip; a random hookup is fine and is to be applauded by your fellow team mates but if you sneak of and leave mates at the pub while you wine and dine a girl or take in a movie (dare i say it a romantic comedy) you may as well get a subscription to cosmo and be done with. The exception to the rule is if you have a follow up date with 2 girls; which is to be commended ; in fact you would probably be in line to captain the footy club the next year

  Under no circumstances is a man to walk through or stop in, at or near the perfume section or underwear section of a department store.

  Man Punting Rules -

  When you lose on the punt you always broke even.

  When you win on the punt only ever disclose half your winnings.

  Salad or Soup is not a meal, & I will not hold your purse while you go to the "loo". It's called a bloody toilet!
