in writing •  7 years ago  (edited)

Bringing you some really cool tips every Thursday, but to make these tips even more exciting I will relate some of my life experiences to them in a fun short story.

Today's topic: Men

Today's tips are:

Well I have been a guy all my life, last time I checked I was still a guy and I think I am happy with being a guy. A few days ago I shocked a girl when I told her guys were very simple. She looked at me and looked at me, I don't know what was going through her mind. She then continued asking me more questions... she was trying to make guys so complex.

Tip 1: Guys are very very simple they say what they mean and mean what they say. Even when telling jokes and you will pick up when a guy is telling a joke.

Man flu they call it... I don't get why we can't get that one week a year where we are just sicker than everyone else. We as men deal with so much stress and can we not just have this break. All we want to do is just chill in bed doing nothing. Women get their "illness" every month and generally they are like a ticking time bomb, at lease when we get our "illness" we don't want to murder everyone.

Tip 2: Leave him be, let him have his man flu, in a few days time he will be back to normal again.

One of my friends asked me what was on my mind? Then I got a tap on the shoulder and she asked me the same question again. I was spaced out, thinking of nothing. When I told her this she asked me again with a more serious face, I replied with the same answer. She sat looking at me, I looked at her, she then started to laugh and said "this is one of your jokes again, right?

Well I gave her the same answer and I watched in sheer horror as I saw her frustration grow... "HOW ON EARTH COULD YOU BE THINKING OF NOTHING?!?!!!!???" For once in my life I was lost for words, how do you describe thinking of nothing?

Tip 3: Guys can think of nothing, I know women can't understand this, but a guy's "nothing" word does not have the same meaning as a woman's "nothing". When guys say nothing it does not have any sinister or dangerous hidden meanings.

The BRO code

This is probably the most complicated thing guys have. Whenever a women asks what is the bro code, well most men would not describe it to them. It is just way to complex and logical for women to understand, there is no feelings or emotions involved in the bro code thus women will not understand.

Tip 4: Do not ask what the bro code is! Why? because the secret is we don't even know!😉!

My last tip: Guys never really grow up, the saying boys will be boys lasts forever. We, as simple men, merely learn how to conduct ourselves, in a civilised manner, in public and society, but we just as savage as we have always been. This you will only ever see when just guys go hiking or camping. We will also never tell you, what happens on hike/camp stays on hike/camp!

Just on a little side note for self improvement. I will be doing pushups, situps and squats for the amount of $$$ (ratio;$1:1) I earn on this post and will give a short feedback every day at the end of each post. This will be split in equally between all 3. Any not done will carry onto the next day.

I don't understand why every man think that woman is a complicated animal. I think they afraid of women, why I don't really understand. Weman are so nice gift to man as daughter, sister, girl friend, wife and lastly the very precious gift as mothers. So please guys don't ever think negative thoughts about women. As you are serving in the various sectors,you can meet your women at that time when you get tired, but they beautifully handle you. They every time adjust themselves to please you .So please don't forget you are a child from a woman. Any way thanks for giving me the chance to share my thoughts. Happy steeming friend.

I agree with you

I particularly agree when you say boys never grow up ! I've seen forty year old men behave like teenagers. Not saying it's wrong though ! We (adults) all have some childish ways within

Yes and sometimes it is a good thing to embrace

Hahaha giving away man secrets.

Not the secret secrets

Seems it deserves a tip! link

Hey @dragonslayer109 , I really enjoy your posts especially when you involve yourself in them :) Looking forward to the next Thursday Tip.

I am a guy with hopes, dreams, fears, and there is not a second where i cannot thing at something and the last thing i can say about me is that i am simple...does that make me a women?
Humans (male or female) cannot think at nothing...you would have known that if you spent a little to research and learn about the brain for yourself that to believe a stupid trend on the internet.
Good job with the effort but things dont work like that in reality...at least not in this univers.
PS: What are you doing on camps that you cannot tell? :D

Well the nothing relates to something that I can't remember thinking about, therefore it is thinking of nothing.

Haha I agree with you @dragonslayer109 let them leave men alone!!!! we are like children that need to have fun ...upped.

dragonslayer109 - As a male I can attest to being that simple. I like to just check what the situation is and deal wit it just to get it out of the way so as not to have to think about it too long. Something that is able to be clear as soon as possible is dealt with forthwith and ticked off the list like - NOW!!! Great post. I have followed you with the hope of receiving notifications of more such posts. Cheerio

Glad you enjoyed it :)

I like it!

Lol! I love this post...Men are definitely not as complicated as us females. That may be the reason I've always had more male friends than female friends. Now ladies I'm not downing our kind...I just tend to steer clear of my girlfriends when they are down with the sickness...lol!

I do not totally agree with you, some guys might be simple , but then most guys act up unnecessarily, I don't also like the fact that they want to be in control at all times.
But, on another page some guys are super amazing and simple, when you meet people like that you will not want to get them out of your sight for any reason.

My wife cannot get that, thinking of nothing, although it is completely true.
I must say, I don't get that very sick thing, I am never sick.

Great post.I was thinking about nothing a good part of my married life. If there were pay for it,I would be a pro!

This made my day. Thanks, you got a new follower.

You nailed it bro, boys will be boys!

Have you decoded my husband lol ?

The first post I read on steemit.
It's a good one.

P.S:
I think the Image credit link for third tip has some problem.
And how can I add an emoji?

Oh my word I had a good giggle! You hit home with the "man flu"thing - its real! And I would love to SIMPLY leave my guy alone when he has it, but he acts like such a frikkin baby! I have NOTHING else to say ;) I think I need to do Top Tips Men from a woman's point of view, to be fair!

hahaha not a bad idea
