While I'm at it, why do women expect men to put the toilet seat down for them, but don't ever think to put it back up for their man?

Taking up for the men
I realize I will probably receive a lot of hate mail after this post, but I have a valid point.....really, I do. Why is it that any "neutral" holiday (i.e. Valentines Day or say an anniversary) that is suppose to be SHARED by both the man and the woman, has an unwritten rule that it's all about the woman? The man is suppose to plan a romantic dinner, or take the wife/girlfriend out to see some chick flick, or take her dancing. Why can't the girl plan to take him to the races, or fights, or to the game, or fishing, or hunting? Why is he expected to send her roses, but she isn't expected to send him a 6 pack, or a new rod & reel?

Do I hear a broken record?
Sometimes it becomes very apparent that I have been out of commission for quite a while. When I hear of dates where men talk about themselves the entire time, or past relationships, or show up late, or perhaps are complete duds, I realize there are still men to reach.
MEN. LISTEN TO ME. PLEASE. It is for your own good. STOP (collaborate and listen) sorry, back on track now....STOP talking the entire time, STOP talking about past relationships (until the appropriate time in a relationship, which is NOT the first date). ASK your date about her likes and dislikes, ask about her family, her job, her friends, her dog, her cute shoes....ok, don't go there, she'll think you swing the other way, or at least missed a good opportunity. However, make sure there is balance in the conversation. Don't ask so many questions that she feels like she is being interviewed by US Weekly.
Whew, you made it through the dinner (and a movie if you lack a creative bone in your body), now you've just pulled up to drop her off. Go with a side hug. Always a side hug on the first date. It keeps from scaring the bee-jeezies out of her if you go for a FFH (full frontal hug) and she thinks you might try to go in for a kiss.
If you enjoyed yourself, you can end with "I had a great time, and I'd like to do it again sometime". If you did NOT enjoy yourself, do NOT say you'll call her, do NOT say you'd like to do it again, simply, say "thanks so much for letting me take you out, have a great night"
the end. obey the rules. quit being stupid.
