Rules for Single Women (courtesy to Forbes forum & MK)

If you think all men are pigs, expect to live alone when you get older.

If you have 100 reasons to reject a man, expect to live alone when you get older.

Prince Charming is gay.

Rich, attractive, nice - you can only have two in a man.

If you ask a man on a first date how much he earns or what kind of car he drives, he gets to look at your bare breasts while you are still in the restaurant.

If you answer your cell phone during a first date, he has the right to immediately get up and leave with no explanation.

Choosey and "stuck up" are closely related.

At 40, single "Rules Girls" become single, lonely women.

If you expect a man to pay for everything, you'll need a strong jaw and a good tongue.

Perfect men don't exist. Good men are everywhere.

It's OK not to want kids. It's not OK to sacrifice your personal life and goals for your career.

The kharmic retribution for putting good men into the "Friend Zone" while getting hurt by bad boys is to become bitter, angry, and the owner of at least three cats.

You are not a princess no matter what your T-Shirt states. If you really think you are a princess, then you'd better have the body of a stripper, the face of an angel, and the personality of a saint. Even so, only Prince Charming can marry a princess and Prince Charming is gay.

Your single girlfriends don't want you to have a happy relationship with a man. Consider this when listening to their advice.

A man won't say "I love you" until he is 100% confident that you won't use this against him. This might take years, be patient because men can be sensitive, too.

Taking the time to look your best is not optional. After all, if you can catch his eye then you can catch his heart. Being agreeable, pleasant, and happy will seal the deal.

Smiles and laughter are contagious and can melt any man's heart.

The unintended consequence of independence is loneliness.

There is a fine line between expecting that a man pay for everything and being a common prostitute.

Excessive complaining is neither attractive nor polite.

You are entitled to nothing. However, you can expect rewards for working hard for something.

Before you say "it's all his fault" after a bad date, look closely in the mirror.

It's not always men making you unhappy. Don't let bitter women convince you of that.

Being strong doesn't mean being bitchy. Southern women have known this for generations.

You can't have it all. Please have the good sense to realize this.

Compromise is not surrender, it's what is necessary to have a good relationship.

Don't expect men to fall all over you just because you are a woman. Feminism taught men to be independent, too.

There's nothing wrong with looking feminine.

If he doesn't call you back, it means he's just not really into you. Deal with it.

If you meet a man, don't find reasons to reject him or things to change in him. Find reasons to accept him and respect him.

"As if" and "whatever" are immature insults used by 12 year olds, not intelligent young women.

The common word in "drink whore" and "dinner whore" is still whore.

Sorry girl, it's NOT all about you so you can change your T-Shirt now.

Many men would rather chase women, not girls.

Given the current state of divorce laws, don't expect any man to marry you. It's not you, it's just how things are right now.

Hanging around gay men won't give you any useful insights about straight men. Frankly, hanging around gay men is just creepy.

"No fat chicks" is the man's version of "If you're rich, I'm single".

Winning a man is easy, keeping a man requires hard work.

Advertising "Bitch" on your T-Shirt or sweatpants won't get you any dates. Single men don't care for that attitude.

Deferring self-gratification is a sign of maturity. You can wait until dinner even if you're hungry now.

The real world is pushy, rude, and often unpleasant. That doesn't mean you have to be the same way.

If you dress like a tart, expect to be treated like a tart.

Fire Away, Ker.

Lord, where to even start. I agree with some of them, but I hate the stupid condescending tone. Whoever wrote this obviously has a huge chip on their shoulder.

What the hell is up with the "taking the time to look your best is not optional" crap? Not every woman is out there to try to attract you, asshole. And maybe we want to wear bitch t-shirts because we hope to repelunenlightened, paranoid, egotistical, self-important little boys who think that they can write huge diatribes and use big words to impress other little boys and maybe win over women through sheer brute force. I just laugh at these people.

"Your single girlfriends don't want you to have a happy relationship..." Really? Wow, if you're speaking from personal experience, I really hope you find real friends soon. Then again, I can understand why you don't have any, seeing as how you're a fucking prick that has so much alone time that you're writing a bunch of "big man" tracts.

"...independence=loneliness." OH I totally didn't realize. Here, let me quit my job, forego my career, let go of my dreams, and mooch off you for the rest of my life, and cling onto you for dear life because I shouldn't have any life of my own. If you're this insecure about your woman having a life of your own, perhaps it's you that needs an attitude adjustment.

Enough ranting. I've wasted too much time on this loser already. Thanks for letting me vent. Let's all just ignore these lonely children from now on.

On the other hand, if this is a rebuttal to some sort of "Rules for Men" crap, the writer for that one should be publicly flogged, as well. I don't understand why these people think they can arbitrarily make up rules for other people. I think they're trying to feed the "Mars Vs. Venus" fire. Which is sophomoric and imbecilic. Grow up, people, and stop trying to run other people's lives. Instead, go and try to cultivate one of your own.

I do apologize for the typos... you really got me going.

One more thing: "Hanging around gay men won't give you any insights about straight men... it's creepy."

HAHAHAHA ARE YOU SERIOUS?!?! This guy honestly thinks that we choose our friends based on how much "insight" they can give us about straight men? Give me a fucking break. And the blatant homophobia really makes you look just that much more attractive, really. Maybe we have gay friends because they're not sitting around hating and jacking off with one hand to posters of Jessica Alba while typing up misogynistic, homophobic tantrums with the other hand. And maybe we're friends with them not because they're gay, but because they're nice people. Jesus, did a gay man once steal your date or something? I smell jealousy.

Okay. No more.

I knew you'd enjoy this entry.

Did I say "jacking off with one hand to posters of Jessica Alba?" I actually meant, "jacking off with one hand to posters of Jessica Alba with a photo of the guy's own head pasted over hers." Just so we're clear. ;)
