The Man Etiquette Test

I scored 54, what did u guys get? Don't forget to add 50 as your base score! we all start out as being average guys!

Here's a chance for you men to find out how compassionate and sensitive you are to women. 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 game is played.

Simple Duties

You make the bed. (+1)
You make the bed, but forget to add the decorative pillows. (0)
You throw the bedspread over rumpled sheets. (-1)
You leave the toilet seat up. (-5)
You replace the toilet-paper roll when it's empty. (0)
When the toilet-paper roll is barren, you resort to Kleenex. (-1)
When the Kleenex runs out you shuffle slowly to the next bathroom. (-2)
You go out to buy her spring-fresh extra-light panty liners with wings. (+5)
But return with beer. (-5)
You check out a suspicious noise at night. (0)
You check out a suspicious noise and it's nothing. (0)
You check out a suspicious noise and it's something. (+5)
You pummel it with a six iron. (+10)
It's her father. (-10)


Social Engagements

You stay by her side the entire party. (0)
You stay by her side for a while, then leave to chat with a college drinking buddy. (-2)
Named Tiffany. (-4)
Tiffany is a dancer. (-6)
Tiffany has implants. (-8)

Her Birthday

You take her out to dinner. (0)
You take her out to dinner and it's not a sports bar. (+1)
It is a sports bar. (-2)
And it's all-you-can-eat night. (-3)
It's a sports bar, it's all-you-can-eat night, and your face is painted the colors of your favorite team. (-10)


A Night Out With The Boys

And the pal is happily married. (-4)
Or frighteningly single. (-7)
And he drives a Mustang. (-10)
With a personalized license plate (GR8 N BED). (-15)


A Night Out

You take her to a movie. (+2)
You take her to a movie she likes. (+4)
You take her to a movie you hate. (+6)
You take her to a movie you like. (-2)
It's called Death Cop 3. (-3)
Which features cyborgs having sex. (-9)
You lied and said it was a foreign film about orphans. (-15)


Your Physique

You develop a noticeable potbelly. (-15)
You develop a noticeable potbelly and exercise to get rid of it. (+10)
You develop a noticeable potbelly and resort to loose jeans and baggy Hawaiian shirts. (-30)
You say "I don't give a damn because you have one too." (-800)


The Big Question

She asks, "Do I look fat?". (-5)
You hesitate in responding. (-10)
You reply, "Where?" (-35)


Communication

When she wants to talk about a problem, you listen, displaying what looks like a concerned expression. (0)
When she wants to talk, you listen, for over 30 minutes. (+5)
You listen for more than 30 minutes without looking at the TV. (+10)
She realizes this is because you've fallen asleep. (-20)



Scoring

Start with 50 points and add your score to it. If you ended up with +15 then your score would be 65 for the 65th percentile. If you got -15 then your score would be 35 for the 35th percentile.

I should of had 72 but I got minus five for bringing beer home w/ panty liners. That's not fair because she loves beer.

56 - I don't have a girlfriend so I don't find myself in most of these situations.

She doesn't ask "Do I look fat".
I simply call her a fatso. I don't get points off for that?
I think I should. Wait, maybe I shouldn't.
How does leaving toilet seat up a -5?
Putting toilet seat down may be a +5, but how does leaving it up a -5?
If you need it up, you put it up. If you need it down, you put it down.
I am willing to help anyone who is handicap and unable to put it in either position, but what's up with the "down" position?

I agree there is a great deal of disrespect here.
The idea that a forum created to bring enthusiasts together has actually served to alienate the women is extremely sad, after all, I can't think of a finer thing than lady who appreciates such things as performance automobiles!
As a driving school instructor I would simply like to ad my favorite students are women, because they listen to what is being offered up as a suggestion with an open mind. They are not genetically programmed to compete so they seem to be able to learn quicker because they focus on self-improvement and not the car in front of them.
A bit more respect would go a long ways.
