Which do you prefer: NES vs. Sega Genesis

NES:



SEGA GENESIS:


In the home video game console wars, the NES and Sega Genesis are the two systems that I remember initially going head to head. Both systems had plenty of success for several years before other systems would eventually replace them.

Anyone that played with these systems are likely to have great memories. I know I do. My question is, if you had to pick one, which system do you prefer?

NES?
Sega Genesis?

Man Laws: Dating

This is the 3rd installment of my knowledge of Man Laws. It'll cover dating, as I'm aware of it. Add any additions, corrections, or whatnots in the comments section below. I'm sure I'm likely to forget crucial points.



DATING:
  1. If dating a friends' sister, caution should always be used....regardless of whom you met first. Intimate details MUST be remain as such.....private. Under no circumstance should you share what you're doing with your girlfriend. Not to other friends. Not to her family. Not to yours. Doesn't matter. Keep it private.

    This includes, but is not limited to arguments, sex life, living arrangements, so on and so forth.

    Marriage discussions depend heavily on who's planning on initiating a marriage proposal. If the man is planning on proposing, an additional rule will be suggested further on.

    Under no circumstance do you mention anything involving sex. It doesn't matter how close you are with your male friend. Discussing your sex life with his sister is strictly forbidden.
  2. If, by some chance, you're interested in dating older women, you should avoid dating the mother to any friend. Do I need to spell this one out? Seriously.....we're talking about the mother of a dude that we're cool with.

    With a sister, it can be argued that you knew her before you met him. A sister is more likely to be in your age group. A mother takes dating to a whole new level.

    With a sister, you know things will happen you don't want to hear about. With your mom, things become a bit more sensitive.
  3. You should avoid hanging out with your friends' girlfriend/wife alone. Exception is if you were friends/dated the gf/wife before they hooked up. If his girlfriend/wife is a close relative of yours, you don't owe your friend any explanations.

    If she's not related, if you were friends with her before you knew the male friend, you can still remain good friends with his woman.

    If you previously dated his current girlfriend/wife, your friend should be able to trust you and/or his wife/girlfriend. If he's unable to do so, you're required to question his status as your friend.

    Your friend has good reason to be suspicious if you and/or his woman still have "feelings" for each other.
  4. If you're interested in dating a sister of a friend, it's highly suggested you mention it to your friend before interacting with the woman you're interested in. This will avoid serious problems with your friend in the long term. Also, if she's already got people she's interested in, your friend may be able to warn you of this.....minimizing your odds of embarrassment.
  5. If dating a friends' sister, never put yourself in a position that could create problem. Having side chicks would be one of the worst offences you can do. If caught cheating, your friend is justified in kicking your ass. It would also be his obligation.
  6. If dating a friends' sister, no sharing problems involving her to your friend or his other friends. It makes you look like a douche canoe and creates more drama.
  7. If your friend gets into a fight, shit-faced, lands in jail over the weekend, offer up an alibi and/or make up excuses. Whatever is appropriate for the situation. Never leave a friend high and dry when his woman starts asking unwanted questions.

    The only exception to the rule that I can think of is if your friend is caught being a pedo, in which case, let him suffer.
  8. Cock blocking is a serious violation of man law. It is forgivable if friend is trying to score with a woman who has a nasty STD, in which case bros have to protect each other.

    If a friend has committed a serious man law violation, like ruining your chances at scoring with a hot chick, you are allowed to retaliate in kind. Retaliation, however, may not exceed the original violation.
  9. When a friend is trying to ho
    ok-up with a gorgeous woman, it's your obligation to act as a wingman. If that means keeping her women friends distracted, you're honor bound to keep them busy......even if they're built like linebackers and could eat your arm like a chicken wing.
    If this means having sex with one of her ugly friends, don't hesitate to take one for the team.

    Your friend, in turn, must return the favor. Though, this favor must be repaid within reason. Your buddy can't stall to avoid repaying the favor. You can't ask for the repayment to be made several months after the fact. If you wait to long to collect on the debt, the debt shall be considered forgiven.

    Favor must be repaid in a reasonable time frame. What's considered reasonable to be determined on a case by case scenario. I'm going to estimate 6 months, for the sake of argument. I'll need outside opinions to see if this is within reason.

    If the wingman is relying on the friend for a ride, the wingman is obligated to find his own way home.....assuming your friend was able to hook-up with a hot chick. Again, favors can be repaid somewhere in the future.
This is the best I can remember for dating rules, at the moment. Any additions to this section of man law, add to the comments section below.
