Does anyone Know what "The Rules" Are?

JimmyWint · 06-29-2005, 12:21 PM

So, I was out for a few drinks on Friday night and got to talking to this cute girl and she and her friends kept making refrences to some rules. Like if I was following the rules or not. When I quizzed her on it she said it was some book written by 3 guys. I tried to get her number, but I guess it was against these rules on the first night we met?! I was just wondering if anyone had some insight on these rules. I am planning on meeting her out again this Friday (If she shows since I don't have her number!)
Thanks!
Jim

You *still* lack closing skills, obviously.

Mustang · 06-29-2005, 12:26 PM

Wow.. Early impression, stay the fuck away from her.

st.cronin · 06-29-2005, 12:27 PM

Stay away. She sounds like big trouble.

Balldog · 06-29-2005, 12:30 PM

Sounds immature to me, sounds like she is into playing games. I would move on, a year ago I would fall for her shit then post here about how much of a dumbass she is.

Good times.

JimmyWint · 06-29-2005, 12:33 PM

Maybe I should meet her on Friday and bring a list of *My* Rules! haha

rkmsuf · 06-29-2005, 12:34 PM

no idea but she sounds uber annoying.

Thats artistry. And fuck requests, I aint your local drive time DJ.

oliegirl · 06-29-2005, 01:11 PM

Be afraid of her...she is husband hunting and won't stop until she finds her victim!

It amazes me that women like that still exist...can't think for themselves and have to rely on a book to tell them what to do when it comes to dating. Gives the rest of us a bad name!!!

Tell Radii thanks for sending me the book with info on how to find a wife...

JimmyWint · 06-29-2005, 01:18 PM

She did give me the impression that she was wanting to find a keeper...So I told her I was not trying to make out with her or take her home...which was not totally true, but I was pretty drunk by that time

(loud buzzer noise)

The correct response would have been to squeeze her boobs and tell her you want to f*ck.

Danger, Will Robinson! Danger! I'll second or third or whatever this sentiment. Sounds like someone who needs self help books and Oprah to think and that sounds like trouble.

Lathum · 06-29-2005, 02:28 PM

I'd ask her if you get spanked for breaking the rules

lurker · 06-29-2005, 02:41 PM

She thinks a book she's read is written by three men when it's two women? Shallow and stupid. A winning combination!

Kodos · 06-29-2005, 02:58 PM

Run away! Run away!

Balldog · 06-29-2005, 03:09 PM

Please tell us you did not buy her and/or her friends a drink!?!?!?!

How old is she? I bet she owns the complete Sex in the City DVD set.

Rockstar · 06-29-2005, 03:19 PM

Next time she mentions "rules" rip off your shirt,slam your shot and yell "OZZY FUCK'N RULES". Then puke right on her purse.

FWIW, I think there was a book for written by men for as a retort to these rules. Still not exactly sure what she was getting at though.

I though that if any male figured out any of the rules, it was changed.

Okay, everyone has to look at the positive Amazon reviews for this book. I can't tell if they're hilarious or scary.

Some excerpts from an insane woman's review:

Quote:

WOMEN WHO RATE THIS LOW SHOULD REPORT THEIR LOVE LIFE STATUS

I was sweet but oh so busy when I talked to him - I was the Prom Queen, I was the most sought-after woman in my city, I had an interesting and fulfilling life.
...
All this letting him become hunter was bringing out the primal instinct in him. I could see his testosterone levels rising, his eyes starting to bulge, his brain-power heading south inch by inch. This was good. This was what we wanted.
...
I was feminine, wore bright colors, talked positive, used my Sweet Voice and never nagged him when he wasn't around - oh? I was so busy I didn't notice.

"We want him in a HEAT" I told my girlfriend.
"We want The Ring!" she corrected me.

Sounds like true love, huh?

It is within the Rules to bang her best friend. Or her mom. Or both at the same time.

Here's a thread just tearing the book apart in another forum. The book is positively mind-boggling. I can't even do it justice. The comments are pretty funny, though.

Young Drachma · 06-30-2005, 02:02 AM

This book was huge back when I worked at a bookstore. Really annoying.

I remember when this book was first making the rounds (or maybe re-released or something) that anyone who was espousing them sounded just about crazy. Thankfully, I was in high school and I think the girls who were using them would grow out of it. Scary that there are still people out there who think these are a good idea. The review posted is hillarious
