Married life

[Tommy Ruyle]

Thinking about romance but this will help you remember how the point system works.

In the world of romance, one single rule applies:
Make the woman happy. Do something she likes, and you get points. Do something she dislikes, and points are subtracted. You don't get any points for doing something she expects. Sorry, that's the way the system is set up. Here is a guide to the point system:


SOCIAL ENGAGEMENTS
You stay by her side the entire party. (0)
You stay by her side for a while and then leave to chat with a college buddy. (-2)
Named Tina. (-10)
Tina is a dancer. (-20)
Tina has silicone implants. (-80)

HER BIRTHDAY
You take her out to dinner. (+2)
You take her out to dinner, and it's not a sports bar. (+3)
Okay, it's a sports bar. (-2)
And it's all-you-can-eat night. (-3)
It's a sports bar, it's all-you-can-eat night, and your face is
painted the colors of your favorite team. (-10)

A NIGHT OUT
You take her to a movie. (+1)
You take her to a movie she likes. (+3)
You take her to a movie you hate. (+6)
You take her to a movie you like. (-2)
It's called 'Death Cop.' (-3)
You lied and said it was a foreign film about orphans (-15)

YOUR PHYSIQUE
You develop a noticeable potbelly. (-15)
You develop a noticeable potbelly and exercise to get rid of it. (+10)
You develop a noticeable potbelly and resort to baggy jeans and baggy Hawaiian shirts. (-30)
You say, "It doesn't matter; you have one too." (-8000)

THE BIG QUESTION
She asks, "Do I look fat?" (-5) [Yes, you lose points no matter what]
You hesitate in responding. (-10)
You reply, "Where?" (-35)
Any other response. (-20)

COMMUNICATION
When she wants to talk about a problem, you listen, displaying what looks like a concerned expression. (0)
You listen, for over 30 minutes. (+50)
You listen for more than 30 minutes without looking at the TV. (+500)
She realizes this is because you have fallen asleep. (-4000)

SOCIAL ENGAGEMENTS
I refuse to go because I don't like crowds or the people she liked to hang out with.

HER BIRTHDAY
Hey! I got her a cake! She should be thankful that I remembered, even if was a week or two, or three late! I made up for it! The next year, I got her birthday cake a month early!

A NIGHT OUT
What? Camping ISN'T a night out???

YOUR PHYSIQUE
It was HER cooking that did me in! I was in shape before I met her!

THE BIG QUESTION
What? She wants me to lie??? I accepted the way she is; Why can't she?

COMMUNICATION
If she didn't want a solution to her problem, she needs to talk to one of her "friends". Tell me the problem and don't go on about it. Not only will I give solutions, but I'll make sure the problem will never come back!

Soooo.... How did I do?

Noticed I said, "ex".

Everything in the previous post was said in jest, other than I don't like crowds. For her, I tollerated them.

While I was in the military, I was everyone's big brother. Everyone told me their problems and I'd give them my ear and sometimes shoulder. I was moreso for my then wife.

Whenever I start talking, my husband "listens" for about 30 seconds and then says, "Can I just have the Reader's Digest version?" (-10,000 at least) I hate that!

you get 30 seconds luck you, I only have to say 'I want to tell you some thing' and I get 'well hurry up then' and then I don't want to say anything anymore, and then he gets miffed that I clam up. Men..... :roll:
