Female Merit/Demerit System

Okay, I thought this was funny, even though I don't think its totally true.
Enjoy!

In the world of romance, one single rule applies: Make the woman happy. Do something she likes, and you get points. Do something she dislikes, and points are subtracted.

You don't get any points for doing something she expects. Sorry, that's the way the system is set up.


Here is a guide to the point system:
SIMPLE DUTIES
* You make the bed. (+1)
* You make the bed but forget the decorative pillow. (0)

* You take her out to dinner, and it's not a sports bar. (+3)
* Okay, it is a sports bar. (-2)

* It's a sports bar, all-you-can-eat night, your face is painted the colors of your
favorite team. (-10)

* You develop a noticeable potbelly and resort to baggy jeans and baggy Hawaiian shirts. (-30) * You say, "It doesn't matter; you have one too." (-8000)

THE BIG QUESTION
* She asks, "Do I look fat?" (-5) Yes, you lose points no matter what
* You hesitate in responding. (-10)
* You reply, "Where?" (-35)
* Any other response. (-20)

COMMUNICATION
* She wants to talk about a problem, you listen, displaying what looks like a concerned expression. (0)

I think many of us can resonate with this and laugh at it because there is a measure of truth to it. Many times our love is conditional. For example, "If you make me happy and don't hurt me than I will love you." It is sad, but often true.

Thanks for pointing that out! I hadn't thought about the conditional side of love aspect of this. I just reread the entire posting again, and think its even funnier now!
