25 Essential Insights for Men Before Tying the Knot

1. If I ever remark, “You look stunning,” the only acceptable reply is “Thank you.” And honestly, why did I need to say anything at all?
2. Returning my car with the fuel gauge on empty implies it’s been too long since we’ve had a meaningful disagreement.
3. Drinking the last soda in the fridge without replacing it is just like me finishing your favorite beer.
4. Spending three hours trying to talk while you shout at the television during the big game doesn’t count as “quality time.”
5. No, I can’t maintain my pre-wedding weight if I’m indulging in big dinners with you every night.
6. Yes, I know you dislike the music on my playlist. That’s precisely why it’s called an “I” playlist.
7. Beer isn’t the only drink that can satisfy your thirst.
8. Just because you’re a man doesn’t mean you instinctively know how to fix my car. Please take it to a mechanic.
9. Tossing all my delicate laundry into the dryer on high isn’t helping; it’s damaging.
10. There’s no religious doctrine preventing you from putting the new toilet paper roll on the holder instead of leaving it on the counter. I checked.
11. Cranking up the surround sound in a small room isn’t “awesome.” It’s just obnoxiously loud. I don’t need to hear helicopters flying over my head.
12. No woman anywhere interprets “fine” as “beautiful.” When you say, “You look fine,” we hear “you look ordinary and unremarkable.” Next time you ask, “Was it good for you?” I’ll say, “It was fine.”
13. After two gentle nudges and a swift kick in the shins, if you’re still snoring, I’m taking the guest room. Yes, I still love you.
14. A sports bar with endless “Buckets-O-Wings” and multiple TVs will never be my idea of a date night. I’ll choose the next spot—no TVs, but a fantastic wine list.
15. Sharing a toothbrush occasionally doesn’t mean I can drink milk directly from the carton. It has backwash, and so do my sodas. Glasses are in the cabinet next to the fridge.
16. Thong underwear feels like dental floss, and 4-inch heels are as comfortable as ballet shoes. They were designed by men; you can wear them.
17. Pulling the duvet over crumpled sheets isn’t “making the bed.”
18. The distance from your hand to the sink is about the same as to the dishwasher. Please put your dirty dishes in the dishwasher, not the sink.
19. We’ll never be married long enough for me to find ball-and-chain jokes amusing. Never.
20. If I’m wearing something, it’s because I like it. And if I like it, you should too—even those boyfriend jeans.
21. A two-minute back rub followed by the presumption of intimacy is not a “massage.”
22. Consistently leaving the toilet seat up is the male version of “Not tonight, dear; I have a headache.” No one’s getting lucky tonight.
23. Just because I do the shopping doesn’t mean I’m the only one spending money. The dry cleaning I picked up? Yours. That $40 moisturizer from Nordstrom? Yours too. You say “we” need to cut back? You go first.
24. There are plenty of fantastic films without car chases, gunfire, alien invasions, or apocalyptic themes. We enjoy comedies, musicals, and love stories. Constantly asking, “When does something happen?” is guaranteed to have us watching movies in separate rooms.
25. No, you cannot wear that neon tie-dye college shirt to dinner with my parents or any event we attend together. Ever.
