Unwritten Rules for Men - from Men's Health

Oh, these are good for men OR women.....
  • Never ask a woman if she wants to have sex by asking her if she wants to have sex.
  • It is more important to have good health insurance than good health.
  • Don't bluff more than once in a poker game with friends.
  • When one of the big bosses at work unexpectedly says something really cheery and friendly to you, he means absolutely nothing by it. Not even if he's your father.
  • Wear as much black as you can. It makes you look slimmer and cooler. But avoid black jeans, they just look silly.
  • When someone in your family is going through a divorce, always side with the blood relative.
  • Pointedly praising something unusual a person owns or has done will make you appear far smarter in his eyes than a 10-minute discourse on world events.
  • Be aware that most people are operating on a very condensed version of the 10 Commandments: the part about murder.
  • Be careful about publicly discussing your hobbies, as most hobbies strike people as somewhat pathetic: most notably, collecting stamps, coins, or anything else, bird-watching, bowling, rockhounding, spelunking, table tennis, poetry, dog shows, chat rooms, polka music, yoga, herpetology, marathon running, and religion. The only hobbies you can safely own up to when among people you need to impress are fly-fishing and golf.
  • Never buy anyone a gift at a kiosk.
  • When choosing a bottle of wine to bring to a dinner party, spend between 10 and 15 dollars. That's for a bottle, not a gallon.
  • The person who sincerely says to you, "I want to get to know you better," is a person you don't want to know at all.
