I have the same attitude that I too shy away from those with a lot of rules.

My issue would be that I don't want to inadvertently break the rules, and I really don't want to be responsible for remembering any list of rules longer than three items. It shouldn't be my responsibility, so I don't accept such responsibilities.

Further, in my limited experience in playing with those with a long list, I've found that those people seem to have a long list in order to blame their playmate if their experience is less than ideal. I've found that they've considered something as having broken their rule and thus the opus isn't on them for having had a bad experience, but on their playmates. For example, there's a no kissing on the mouth rule, and a kiss on the neck is now considered having broken that rule and that becomes the playmates' fault. My limited experience with "laundry-list couples" has shown that those with an extensive list of rules are those that probably aren't equipped to swing yet.
