Rules for Men Written by a Tomboy
I've always seen those "rules for men by women" lists online, but whenever I read them, I think, "Wow, this really doesn't apply to me!" I've never assimilated myself with the rest of women out there. To be fair, there are things I do not do like most women, and there are things I do. I'm an attention whore, but the thought of getting all girly every day disgusts me. I take a shower every other day, I sleep in and only give myself a half hour to get ready, I get drunk as much as the guys do, I watch football, I love rock metal music, I enjoy living in the moment, and I prefer hangin' with guys over girls any day. I seriously think there should be more of us out there. One day, we tomboys will rule the world! *evil laugh*
Anyway, here it is. MY version of the list:
Rules for Men Written by a Tomboy
1. Don't ever lie. Tell me the truth at all times. I don't care if it's something I don't want to hear. Just do it. I may be upset, but it will pass, trust me. I am a huge advocate of honesty, so don't lie. Otherwise I'll kick your butt.
2. There are women that are comfortable with sexual things, and some that are not. For the ones that are, be open to experimentation. For the ones that aren't (like me), be patient. One day she will want to do naughty things. If she waits until marriage, again, be patient. Having sex is an emotional thing for all women.
3. We secretly hate girly girls. Of course, we'll always act kindly around them, but deep down we just want to kill them.
4. You put the seat down for me, I'll put the seat up for you. Deal?
5. We can get a little competitive. Take us on in a game of Mario Kart or darts. I'm sure the thought of getting your butt kicked by a girl scares you anyway.6. Hug or kiss me every so often. I really do appreciate it. I don't care if I have morning breath or my lips are chapped - JUST DO IT!
7. If you ask "what's wrong?" and we say "nothing...", prod further. I want you to care about what's worrying me.
8. I am probably the best thing that's ever happened to you, compared to your girly girl ex-girlfriends, not gonna lie.
9. If you want a guys' night out without me, I'll be very sad.
10. If you want sex, ask for it. Doesn't hurt to try. More often than not, the girl will want it just as bad as you do!11. I admit it, I'm not always right. Sometimes you are, and sometimes I am. Just depends on the situation.
12. Tell me you love me every day.
13. Don't want kids? No problem! I agree.
14. This might sound questionable, but when you get drunk, it gives me an excuse to take care of you. Least you've got your hands all over me and are telling me you love me every five minutes. So don't worry, I'll be there for you.
15. Every woman is different when she has PMS or her time of the month. Act accordingly. Some women need sleep, others veg out in front of the tube.16. You are so much better than the asshole ex-boyfriends I've had to deal with in the past.
17. Every now and then I WILL want to dress up. Granted, you'll appreciate it, because it doesn't happen often. So if you see me applying makeup, don't make fun of me for it. Just take it in; otherwise it'll be longer before I primp again.
18. PLEASE let me know if something in your life is bothering you. I don't want it to come up so bluntly and scare the living crap out of me. I won't judge you, promise!
19. Call us pretty, beautiful, honey and not bitch, hot, or sexy. Unless it's in bed, of course.
20. Comfort me when I am at my worst (e.g. sweatpants and pigging out on random junk food) or upset at something. Most likely it is because of something really traumatic, like a family member dying or something. Something that would make you cry, too!21. Be creative and spontaneous, even down to the day you propose to us (that is, if we get that far - here's to hoping!).
22. At the very least, PLEASE remember my birthday. And yours. Kinda pathetic if you can't remember your own birthday. I don't care if you don't remember our silly month anniversaries. Years are important, though.
23. We will try to give you space when you need it, try being the operative word.
24. You dressed up = drool...
25. And finally, be my best friend. Talk to me. I love having conversations with my loved one and losing the concept of time. I know you're my friend when I look at the clock and think, "where did the time go?"

Here here!! Again.. if i was drinking at 12 noon i would SO raise my glass to this post! I totally agree on everything here! except #9. guys.. PLEASE have a guys night out once and awhile.. i need my girls night out too. so go for it!
but other than that i agree 100%! again.. great post!
Aw, this is cute. I agree with almost all of those, especially #20. I do that one almost too much, lol. I'm at the point though where it doesn't really matter what I look like around the boyf. He's used to me by now. =p. I don't feel the need to get dressed up whenever I see him during class, I just save those for our (rare) date nights. It bothers me when girls can't leave the house without getting all dressed up. I mean seriously, at college...who the heck cares? I sure don't. But no, some go prancing around class wearing heels and their latest "going out" clothes...come on now. I'm the one in just jeans and a tee.
I agree with a lot of these. But especially the last one. I love the fact that me and my boyfriend are best friends. I can tell him anything and he can tell me anything. And I wouldnt trade that for the world.
Awesome post! Not all of it applies to me, but there are some very good points. I really like 14 (This might sound questionable, but when you get drunk, it gives me an
excuse to take care of you. Least you've got your hands all over me and
are telling me you love me every five minutes. So don't worry, I'll be
there for you.)
This is so true! I love it when my boyfriend gets drunk cause he gets really touchy (I love that!) and he flirts a lot. Getting smashed so you can't even walk isn't great, but I'll still take care of him cause I love him!
i agree!!
We could be the same person!
haha
I totally agree with all of this
;D
Agreed, lol. Especially #3. )-:< LOL.
Awesome post!!!! :D We're basically thinking on the same wavelength. :)
YES! I shower every other day and get ready in a half hour too! Why take forever, sleep is much more exciting than putting on layers of makeup! I also enjoy metal and living in the moment... and for the most part, guys are much better company than girls. Girls are so emotional and dramatic (this has become even more real to me since I've lived in a dorm).
1) Heck yes! Better to tell the truth and have it hurt a little than to lie, then get caught and have it hurt a lot! Honesty is the best policy, no doubt.
2) Ahhh... yeah. I'm not comfortable with sexual things at all; I'm waiting for marriage. Guys who know me well should know this about me. Luckily, a certain boy who I very much adore, knows this and is patient. Besides, he's waiting too.
4) Hahaha... never thought of that. Honestly, the whole seat being left up thing, never bothered me. It's not a big deal to put it back down.
5) I think men are intimidated by women who get competitive. I think they are also really afraid of girls who can beat them in video games. *points to self*
8) AMEN!
9) Yeah, guys always do the best things on "guys nights." I get jealous... I hate girls nights. lol
13) I want kids, but just not soon. I want to live a little first! People who have kids really young on purpose... I don't understand them.
17) Yes... the advantage of being a tomboy! When you dress up, people appreciate it even more!
19) HECK YEAH!
21) Yeah, creativity in a man is adorable!
22) I'm really bad with dates, so I don't mind if he is too. lol
24) Ohhhh yes. I wish I could see it more often.
25) The best rule out of them all! I don't want to date someone just to date them, I want to date someone because they are my best friend and I love every minute that I spend with them. I love talking to my best guy friend, because hours pass so quickly and we never run out of things to say. I just feel so comfortable in his presence. It's not that awkward, "I like you" kind of relationship; we're best friends who really like each other.
i liked most of these points/they applied to me.
the last one was especially sweet.
I'm glad someone did this.
And that you did it, since you did it well.
It's so true, for some women of course.
:D
Props!
Lol, I agree! :)
Good stuff ^^
when i read this i totally was lol-ing.
i totally can relate. O:
does that make me a tomboy? lol
i really don't like girly girls either haha.
although i made my own list of girlfriend rights. haha
instead of boyfriend rules.
:D you're free to read it and give me feedback!
aha. =)
lol... very sweet list. :D
I suppose every girl has their list. I consider myself a bit on the tomboyish side, but even this doesn't fully apply to me.
#1 is absolutely true for me, though. It might be hard to swallow, but the truth is always better than being lied to.
#9...well, tomboy or not, you're still a girl, right? It becomes a problem when a guy ALWAYS needs their guy nights without you, lol.
Nonetheless, it's a good list. Applies to me more than the standard lists that women make. I'd like to see a counterpart list from a not-so-typical guy.
THANK YOU. It's like I wrote it myself.
wow I think this applies to most people and I totally agree!! great post!
KUDOS. totally agree. esp. #3 ahahah. These are truer than the other lists (for me at least).
i think this is awesome :D
i like #4 i love me a competitive girl, it always makes me happy when i meet a competitive girl especially in games and arugments!
I really liked this list. There is one thing that kind of adds to number nine.
 If you are going out (for whatever reason), let me know. I dont want to make plans arouind you and be stuck home alone.
Haha, I love this list! I wouldn't call myself a tomboy, but I actually think that what you describe as a tomboy is more of a "real woman" to me. I definitely have never really related to 99% of the girls I know.
I love #5: My guy friend got so butthurt when I beat him at Mario Kart that he turned off the Gamecube before the game saved my score.
Definitely yes on both #8 and #9.
And definitely #25. If a guy can't be my best friend, he is outtie.
:)
Tomboy power!
THANK YOU.
