Girls.......

When you borrow a screwdriver from a man's tool box....use it and then bring it back....

There will be three drawers...

One with screwdrivers in it...

One with wrenches in it.....

One with hammers in it......

Put it back in the hammer drawer!

Or, if the peg board has a clearly drawn outline for a hammer, hang a wrench there

Latent homophobia law says that in a room where penises are exposed, eyes should be focused on the ceiling or immediate vicinity floor, because should one man see another man's penis, the world WILL END!

My colleague in the next cube was wondering what the hell I was laughing about. I wish I could have told him.

Thanks, Kairi.

When hanging with the Bro's having the quickest wit, usually get's you on top in the group. Having the fastest come back's and a sense of humor will set you apart in the Bro den.

As well as being able to spit the farthest, being able to spell your name peeing in the snow, and having the biggest flame while lighting your farts (scortching your pants wins extra points).

I can't believe no one mentioned how guys nod their heads!   Remember, chin goes up if he is a friend, down if just being friendly.

Handshakes are really important. No need to break bones, just make them think that you could if you wanted to.

Also, guys can "set" their eyes. It is something most girls have a hard time doing. Really do not know how to explain it other than that. (Advanced levels only. If you don't do it right, you will either just look silly or like you are going to kill someone.)

A note on exercise. Most guys tend to prefer low rep/high weight exercises. Which is good if you only want big muscles. I personally prefer high rep bodyweight focused stuff. You stay smaller (and faster) but have explosive energy/strength. (Extra bonus, no need for a gym!) Downside, you look weak. (If anyone gives you flak, do a hundred push-ups and ask them to join you for the next set.   )

Confidence! Remember, you are a man on a mission. Every action should show that. And make a plan to carry out your tasks.

[Guest Nikole]

May I contribute? I know some were asking for more from the FtM's, but may a regular F help too?

I can't believe this one was missed:

Ladies, always leave the toilet seat down, and complain when the guys leave the toilet seat up (grr I hate that... middle of the night, if you're not paying attention and you're half asleep, you can fall right in!)

I'll certainly back up what John said about while women arn't OUTWARDLY as aggressive, they do tend to get back in different ways, and have a completely different way of competing. With women in general it can easily be competitive about who has the "better" spouse / partner / s.o., etc, who's house is cleaner, etc... etc... Perhaps I'm different in the sense none of that really matters to me, as I'm quite happy with what I do have. Some other girl's s/o buys them more stuff? Doesn't matter to me, as long as I'm getting cuddles and know I'm loved, I'm happy! Etc, etc.

Women are compassionate and passionate about things.

Women are more likely to say "ohhh that's so CUTE!"... can't say I really hear many males saying that without getting some strange looks.

Exchanging a smile in passing is perfectly ok, as well as eye contact... and doesn't necessarily have any hidden meaning behind it!

That's all I got for now.

Ladies, sit with legs close together. Cross them at the ankles or higher up so one knee is on top of the other.

Play with your hair (esp when flirting) and talk with your hands. Vary the tones you use when talking. When carrying your books, carry them at your chest. Move your hips when you walk. Giggle when you laugh.

Gentlemen, keep the hands away from the hair. If you get hair in your eyes, shake your head. When you stand, stand with equal weight on both feet and lean your torso back a bit. Walk with good posture, with shoulders out, keep your chin up and look ahead of you, not at the floor. Don't touch your face much, unless you're rubbing your nose briefly. Talk in a deeper, more monotone voice. Do not move your hips when you walk, but move your shoulder slightly, and don't drag your feet. When sitting, have your legs out in front of you so your leg is bent at the knee in a way so it makes an obtuse angle. Stretch out and take up space, but make yourself look comfortable too. Crack your joints--if you crack them loudly, it's a bonus. When laughing, either chuckle or give a good hearty laugh from the gut. Don't cover up your mouth with your hand either.

[Guest Daiyu Hurst]

So many good comments so far. Like others who posted here, I was a girl stuck in a guy's body for years, trying to "guy-up" whenever I could.

So for you new boys, here are some don'ts. You new girls can flip 'em and do the opposite.

Don't rotate your hips, and lean your shoulders forward as you walk. Otherwise, you're swishing. Don't rock on your heels, or stand on the outside edge of your feet. Don't rest with most of your weight on one foot with the other leg bent at the knee and the toe of that foot touching the ground.

Don't turn a chair around backwards leaning forward against its back and when your knees on the chair.

And here's a do for the new guys:

Leave the toilet seat down, but get a few drops of urine on it.

EWW! GROSS! BAD GIRL! Don't tell them THAT!!!

[Guest JaniceW]

Aren't we supposed to tell them the secrets we used to get the girls to stop complaining about the seat being up? Oh I am so confused now.

[Guest Daiyu Hurst]

When I enter the stall in the men's room here at work, when I'm in a rush, seeing the seat down, I tend to fail to inspect it. And I can't tell you how many times I've sat my naked flesh against a bare seat and cursed the dolt who peed on it.

At least, if the seat is up, as I swing it down, the wetness will reflect the light just long enough for me to notice it, and even in an emergency, I'm gonna wipe that stuff off first.

But frankly, I can't think of anything more male than the self-centered, inconsiderateness that's represented by these drops.

[Guest KimberlyF]

I have dozens of female friends on the net all over this country and no topic has really been taboo over the years. There have been numerous discussions on women's restrooms and hover peeing so you don't touch the seat which of course lowers the accuracy and I was surprised to find this wet seat thang happens in both places. Not in private residences by women but there is a real phobia that a lot have with touching anything in the little public cubicles so they hoover and then flush with their heel and get the hell out all the while clutching their purse so nobody swipes it from the hook on the door.

So THAT'S why guys sorta "miss" the hole sometimes and get some on the seat?!?! It all makes so much sense now... LMFAO

I too have done the "hover" in a few ladie's rooms, and given the occasional "aerosal" state my urine stream has been in since my surgery, I've made a few messes, but I always clean up after myself.

[Guest Lily B]

ugh the toilet seat thing.

If everyone leaves the toilet seat as they use it, then the toilet seat would never be moved unnecessarily.

If a guy leaves the toilet seat up then there is a chance that another guy will use it after him, if the first guy puts down the toilet seat then the second guy has to put it back up. That's two unnecessary toilet seat motions.

And it's not just the extra work, it's also gross.

We would have a similar problem if when sitting down you were expected to put it up when you were done.

Therefore the most efficient and least gross situation for everyone is if people leave the toilet seat as it is when they're done.QED

[Guest kelise]

If I lived with a guy, I'd just have seperate men's and women's restrooms built in my house.

[JJ]

My take-if the seat is down no one is going to fall in. One midnight dip will make you a rabid seat downer for life.

Besides you should NEVER flush without closing the lid. That thing about shooting bacteria 12 feet if the lid is open when you flush isn't an urban legend- it's true.

Besides which even if you handle the dreaded seat you are going to be washing your hands anyway. I fervently hope!!

John

Control of this thread will now be returned to Kelise-sorry about that .

[Guest Lily B]

JJ,

But its inefficient *whineee* =p

[Guest Zig]

The state of the toilet seat is never an issue in my household. The rule is that the lid goes down after every person, regardless of gender. That way, everyone has to lift and lower something. That isn't the main reason, of course, but it could be considered a bonus. Just thought I'd throw that out there.

JJ,

Not as inefficient as scrubbing all that bacteria off the bathroom surfaces-unless you are advocating putting the seat and lid down, flushing, then raising it all again.

THAT"S inefficient

[Guest Cowboy]

Eh, ive never really been forced to "be a girl". so all my mannerisms, expressions, etc., i picked up naturally from my dad, grandpa, and friends. there are a few things ive noticed though

guys- eye contact with another male is a good thing. not making eye contact makes you seem "scared", and the less dominant male. it also makes you seem more professional and mature [picked that up from JROTC]

girls- sweat is gross. physical labor just can not be done (lord have mercy if you gotta pick up somethin heavy lol) hunting is boring, so is fishing. you'd rather be shopping or making small talk than watching the ball game. and always ALWAYS demand your man to take out the trash or do something around the house while hes watchin last nights highlight reel, or the game.

guys- less is more but take up more space. guys do start conversations, but its not the "lets talk about everything, then everything again" type convo. if you know the guy, say a quick hello, ask how him and his family is, how life is treatin em, mention havin beer or two, then say later. keep it short. if you dont know the guy, you shouldnt really have anything to say to him. dont try to "cut the tension" by making small talk about the hamburger buns in the bread aisle. that silent tension is natural, and unless the other guy talks first, dont say anything.

girls- make every effort you can to look "cute" even if makes you and your date 20 minutes late for the movie, restaurant reservations, etc. add an extra 30 mins to get ready if you and your date are goin to a sportin event. (as in be later than you would normally) walk around the store, look at everything, then repeat. dont worry about bein in a hurry, you've done read that lipgloss label 3 times, an extra once or twice wont hurt. another thing, no matter how wrong you are, you're always right. act like a spoiled brat to get youre way, then threaten your man with the "no action in the bedroom" threats to let him have your way.

guys- its not about who wears the pants in the relationship, its who wears the skirts. learn to live by that-- itll never fail you. dont think you have to be some super-a hole for a girl to like you. girls are lookin for decent men with the capability to bust skulls if it comes down to it. acting tough and "cool" all the time makes you look like a total dweeb. grow up and treat a woman respectfully. now if youre with the fellas, bein graphic and vulgar wins you points, but say to a lady what you say to the fellas, and your beer will be on your head. also-- act as if youre the best at everything, and as if you know it all. your friend has a scar from a BMX accident? well guess what? that scar you have from the playground in 2nd grade, just turned into a scar from an attack by a rabid bear. the biggest bear in the woods at that.... that you killed with your own two hands. if you truly are the best, and are a knowledgeable person -- dont showboat about it. go about your business with class. simply said -- be smooth.

lol hope this helps some.

Colton, Sweetheart,

Are you sure that you are only 17?

Such amazing insights.

Women can listen to a three hour description of a beaded jacket or a cute pair of shoes but keep anything about the most amazing play in the history of sports under 15 seconds - we loose interest.

Men enjoy a highly detailed retelling of all sporting, hunting and automotive topics but as far as plans for the weekend with you - just tell him what time and EXACTLY what to wear.

Love ya,

Sally
