1. When he comes home from work, it's best not to bother him for 10-15 minutes. He'll calm down, get over his mood, and start talking on his own.

2. Dumplings are the best food. When you say, «Honey, I didn't have time to cook today!» you should always have a pack of dumplings in reserve!

3. Socks disappear on their own. You buy him 20 pairs of identical socks, wash them, and there are only 39 left, and so be it. Don't try to find out where that one sock went. He probably doesn't know either...

4. Their consoles (computers, cars) are sacred!!! Even if you're just wiping off the dust, try to do it discreetly. So he doesn't see that you've touched his deity.

5. If you're going somewhere and need to leave at 10 am, it's normal that your alarm is set for 7:00, and his is set for 9:50. Don't nag him every 5 minutes. Yes, they can get ready in 10 minutes, and on top of that, they even manage to warm up the car while your majesty is finishing applying mascara.

6. If he wants to figure something out himself — let him! It doesn't matter what it is. Calling the internet provider, canceling a sushi order — if he has the initiative, let him do it himself.

7. If a man doesn't want you, right now, when you've decided to pounce on him, it's not that he doesn't want you, he just doesn't want sex right now. Do you have a headache? Menstruation? He has it too today. It just happens sometimes.

Women will disagree with me on many things (most likely), but in my opinion — this is the basics.

1. I don't know if it's just me, but that childish voice and silly, childlike behavior looks very creepy from the outside. It really repels me, and I don't find anything funny about it at all.

2. I used to work in an office where everyone was a woman. There were two other men, but they were overweight guys in their 60s with beer bellies. And I was the only fit young guy. The women constantly commented on my physique out loud. They stared. They touched me in various places. Many of them were married or went to church. Women can easily break gender stereotypes of behavior.

3. I'm in great shape, and the number of unfamiliar women who supposedly accidentally touched my arms, shoulders, and chest when I was on the street, in the store, on the subway, was far too high.

4. When women look at you and say something like, «If I were 10 years younger...» And I'm only 17, and she's twice my age. And if a 30-year-old man said that to a 17-year-old girl, the FBI would have been called a long time ago.

5. I block them, but they keep creating fake accounts and bothering me.

6. My wife demanded that I delete a photograph of an old friend of mine, whom I've known for over ten years, and who has long been married to a mutual friend of ours. This photograph is part of a group of eight pictures. It's dear to me as a memory. I didn't delete it. My wife first made a scene, then didn't talk to me for a week, then threatened divorce and division of my property, but after a month she calmed down.

7. Last weekend we were hanging out with a group of guys, there were six of us, and then some unfamiliar girl started circling around us like a lost puppy and wouldn't leave. She was attractive, but she so clearly craved attention that it felt creepy to give it to her. This girl was just looking at everyone, batting her eyelashes, and trying to hug everyone, but the guys just awkwardly distanced themselves from her.

Now imagine if a guy did that to girls. He would be called a creepy guy and the police would be called.

8. Honestly, women definitely exploit men's emotions. We may not cry in the movie theater, but we are not immune to deep, painful emotional wounds. It's easier for women to criticize men for their appearance, height, weight, or income. Men can't criticize women without being called pigs.

So yes, women who nitpick men for the most insignificant reasons are usually creepy and arrogant. And that's a huge red flag for any guy.

9. Double standards regarding sexual harassment. In a store, some idiot grabbed my butt. So hard that it left a bruise. Everyone around just laughed. But if I had done that, I would have spent at least the next night in a police station.

10. Wherever I go, I'm constantly asked at home afterwards if anyone flirted with me. What the hell! I went to an American football game. Who would flirt with me during a game?

11. Hypocrisy regarding sexism.

If a guy hits a girl: «What an asshole!»

If a girl hits a guy: «Well, what did he do to you?»

An older man harasses a much younger woman: «What a scumbag!»

An older woman flirts with a much younger man: «You got what you wanted, girl!»

Jokes about small penises: funny!

Jokes about fat men: funny!

Jokes about men, especially short ones, are funny!

Jokes about women's appearance and the lack of intelligence of some representatives of the fair sex are categorically unacceptable.

Some women with fake boobs, fake asses, fake lips, fake nails, and fake facial features are looking for real men for some reason.
