A Few Simple Rules & Requests For Men to Consider

Posted by Mason Jamal Monday, February 22, 2010

It's come to my attention that some readers occasionally take me too seriously. Certainly, there are points I make that I hope are embraced and thoroughly considered. Often, however, I'm offering a very tongue-in-cheek style of opinion and observations. And while I don't profess to espouse the gentlemen's gospel, I do fully endorse what I provide in the way of commentary and counsel. On that note and in that spirit, today I've decided to share, from the guys at Esquire Magazine, a few thoughts that are flavored with a similar style of wisdom and wit and underscored with the same sort of wink wink self-awareness.

Continued: This is a list of 10 highly opinionated observations, that I distilled from Esquire's little gray book called The Rules: A Man's Guide to Life, which features more than 600 entries.

Rule #3:
Don't trust a man who calls the bathroom "the little boy's room".

Rule #24: A man in a mini-van is half a man.

Rule #40: For the last time, no goddamn speedos.

Rule #62: No matter how greasy the pizza is, you can't blot it with a paper towel and expect to be taken seriously.

Rule #69: No group of people has worse hairstyles than men in government.

Rule #72: A man whose belt is fastened on the last hole looks desperate and 'resourceless'.


Rule #111: The stupider a man, the slower he walks.

Rule #224: People eager to get married can be trusted as much as people eager to get elected.

Rule #276: If you are uncertain how much cologne is enough, you are not allowed to use cologne.

Rule #343: No fluorescent condoms unless they're all that's available.

  3. Rule #111 (substitute lazier for stupider) and Rule #224 are honestly facts in my mind. If there are exceptions to the rule they are few and far between.

  5. Corollary to Rule #62 Don't eat it with a knife & fork either.

  7. Rule #72: A man whose belt is fastened on the last hole looks desperate and 'resourceless'.

    Insanely funny.

    Also, I too believe there is some truth to Rule #224 and #276.

  9. rule #24 about being half a man because you drive a mini-van is nuts. I have a mini-van, In fact it's a 95 oldsmobile silouhette that's hooked up to look like a star trek shuttlecraft. it's a head turner and i'm quite proud of it. The body's made of fiberglass no rust and she gets great mileage. Besides I also have a hayabusa 1300. Point is whatever you drive does not make you more or less of a man or person.It's what's within your character. Want to see that shuttlecraft? send your request to me at Robertsreplicas@aol.com

     
  10. That is too funny. A stupid man walks slow, priceless.
