You also have as low a threshold for embarassment as myself. Although a statement like that steps over a mark I personally wouldn't, there are many more that I would.The Last Conformist said:

@ Lozzy: 2 things. a) These rules need to be kept general for all men, not just CFC users. So smiley rules are out. b) Check your PMs.
@ Everyone: I'm playing around with a new rule, which I noticed in action this weekend. Here is the provisional wording of the draft bill:
"Regarding cooking: You should refrain from doing this wherever possible. However, it is quite acceptable to do so on occassion, but there are strict guidelines governing this:
a) You must make a god awful mess.
b) You must demand and use the most expensive ingredients.
c) You must declare that yours is the finest version of that 'lemon drizzle cake' (for example) that ever has or will be made.
d) You must indicate that it would be entirely possible to start a Michelin star restaurant based around that one dish / cake etc.
e) I'm sure there are more here guys.....?

@Ram: Never been a college student? Everybody knows that real men make terrible food very cheaply, using poorly dished cutlery.

I did some of my best cooking at college, and so did a lot of my very macho friends (no they weren't Manowar fans). A lot of this was motivated by romantic dinners with my current gf admittedly, but I'm not seeking to write off men's cooking ability with this rule. Also don't want to confine it to students. What do you think? It's a tough one.The Last Conformist said:

My dad is quite an adept cook, far better than most women I know...
And the majority of chefs are males too!

So that's a no, I think that rule isn't true.

A rule to live by, whenever action is required ask yourself this:
What

Do?

Well, I always ask for directions(after some driving) if I don't know an area, and Gods(!) help them (those who know the area) if they don't help me out: they'll have to DEAL with a REAL MAN'S RAGE!Mathilda said:
"Men don't need to talk when driving in a car together (ever)".
If the drive is say for 45 minutes and they don't ever speak it's considered perfectly normal man behavior. Do not try this as a guy if you are with girl. Either you are already in a fight with each other or the man will get "What's the matter?" within 15 minutes of the silence.
