Some of these 'Rules' are so obvious it's pathetic they are even listed. Some reflect such atavistic attitudes on the part of men and women alike, you'd think they were compiled in 1953.
Then there are a few that I have to question, like the ones about the haircuts. It's all well and good to be considerate and not bash a botched haircut, but if I decide to go get a mohawk knowing full well my wife hates them, I'm not going to expect her to pretend it looks great on me. Especially if she is the type to want to tell me what kind of haircut she likes, what clothes she likes on me, etc. I don't see anything wrong with considering what kind of appearance your SO finds attractive, especially if you want them to fuck you now and then.
Then there's this little tidbit:
"At the end of a hard day, there may be smoke coming out of your ears, but let’s face it: You’ve basically been sitting on your butt."
Fuck you, Diane Otis. How the hell do you know that?
To be sure, a lot of guys ARE sitting on their butts all day, and housework is a bitch--I fucking HATE cleaning--but a lot of women are sitting on their butts all day too. Kids do make it a lot tougher, that's for sure. But trying to tell a guy in a high-stress occupation (like say advertising for instance) that he's just sitting on his ass all day because he didn't vacuum the floor is not only ignorant but rude as hell.
But really I mostly find lists like these a little scary. Are couples in the USA really still stuck in the 1950's, or what?

Guess it depends on the couple (duh, but true).
