As society hurtles ever closer to the end of all manners, male behavior in particular is disintegrating at a rapid pace. Go out any evening, and you'll find one guy trying to get you and your best friend to kiss, another regurgitating on the sidewalk out front and another debating whether he'd rather eff the three-breasted alien from "Total Recall" or the blue, serpentine woman from "X-Men."
And so we're compelled to offer the following guy primer. Enjoy -- and then leave a comment letting us know what we left out.
Guys, if you're left wondering how to behave, check out these rules from our brother site Asylum.
Please, Just Stop
Urinate Look, maybe when you were a kid your mother thought it was adorable when you'd drop your little pants to take a pee in the backyard. But we're not your mother and the world isn't your lawn. Whip it in, boys.

Regale Us With Tales of How Wasted They Got Last Night Guess who else has gotten totally smashed before? Everyone. You're boring and you smell like the floor. Shut up.

Say That They're Bringing the High Five Back (or that they're bringing anything "back" for that matter) I'm bringing disdain back...with a vengeance. Oh, and your tool box called...you got out again.

Talk About Fight Club This is a great book and movie that you ruin every time you open your mouth to say how much you'd like to join a fight club if only you hadn't just renewed your gym membership. You...are...Jack's...tiny...penis.
20th Century Fox, Fight Club
Say things like, "It's All Good" How about instead, you just say, "I'm not listening to you because I'm too busy thinking about the Phish bootleg I just bought on eBay"?

Go Shirtless Look, this isn't an easy stance to take. Some of you guys look spectacular topless. But others...well, I just don't think we can afford to take chances anymore.

Refer to "Dropping the Kids Off at the Pool" or Any Other Euphemism for What They're Going to do in the Bathroom I also don't want to hear your blow by blow recount after you return from the bathroom. Call me uncultured that way.

Their Glenn Quagmire Impression Alright! Giggity! Giggity! Oh my god, you're, like, the FIRST guy I've ever heard do that! Do you like that one song from American Pie, too? You do? Oh, we simply MUST have a love affair!

Take a Magazine into the Bathroom at Work Do it at home. Do it at the sperm bank. Do not do it at the company that matches your 401(k).

Talk to Their Mothers What's the quickest way to a man's issues? Overhearing a phone call with mommy.

This was a complete waste of time. The author Carol is obviously a man hating seacow. Here is something you should never do in public or private Carol - write another article.

I actually think half of the "no-nos" are pretty adorable. Half of them they don't do around girls they really want to impress. Boys are smarter than that ; )

Personally, I think this is pretty damn funny. Other men would do well to take heed to this list of do nots. Though some of the things you do are fun with your friends, when you do them around people you don't know and/or ladies you'd like to impress, you look like a neanderthal.

Ohhh, Ohhh; I got one! : Don't EVER go up to an unknown female at a bar and tell her she shouldn't be drinking during pregnancy. OUCH! My man came home from the bar one night and told me that his buddy (who was wasted at the time) said this to some woman...and even he couldn't believe his friend had the audacity to say such a thing! I'm so glad I missed that one: how awkward and RUDE!

Silly, zippy, I use my vagina for sex, so I don't have to take the stick out. In fact, the stick makes it better!
Thanks for reading!

Great list! When I was in my twenties going without a shirt looked great (many women told me so) because I had an awesome six-pack. Now I'm mid-forties, no more six-pack, so the shirt stays on, at least in public. Also my wife goes spasdic when somemoron says my bad. Are your linguistic skills so bad you can't make proper sentences? I hate when people say conversate! Its not a word. If you talk its called conversing, as in I'm conversing with someone.

butter face is a code word that people use to describe someone...
like man her body is fine butter face (but her face) should be covered with a bag
urban dictionary comes in handy with slang terms that you don't understand

I gave up it took too long for the photo gallery to load, but I can imagine by the comments that I didn't miss anything, men will be men. What grosses me out is how often you see woman spit these days, its gross enough when men do it, talk about unladylike. Also why is it the majority of people today can't have a conversation without every other word being the f - word ? Also who with half a brain would think a ring sticking out of there nose and lips looks good, talk about discusting, and what about these people with tattoos up and down ther earms on men or woman all I see is that it degrades the human vessel and makes a person look cheap. and this person that wrote this article is worried about men who talk about how wasted they got. I wish I could get paid for being a moron !

I SHOULD have done like you, but instead, I wasted the time waiting for the everything to load! Despite what seemed obvious, I was HOPING to see something that was actually funny. I guess I'm not up with the times because most of it made no sense at all.
As for your post, I could not agree more! I totally agree with EVERYTHING you rag on and I too wish I could get paid for acting like a moron.

are you really saying men have gone downhill these days? you're right, we went from "shut up woman and cook me some dinner" to "hey hunny how's your day been" we're just horrible neanderthals these days and you women have it so bad, i hope you don't actually get paid to write this garbage
