no, and why would we? The bed doesn't need to be made.

Aw, I'm sorry, ladies. Here... you can fold me laundry. No, really, I insist...

/I hate folding laundry.
//Most other chores are okay.

American women stopped doing household chores about 30 years ago, but will deny that fact to the death, even when it is obvious that it is true.

Most of them can't cook, won't clean, and only do laundry when they run out of clean panties.

Christ, like any modern American woman can even cook today. Shut down McDonald's and half the families in the country would starve to death.

THIS IS GOING TO BE FUN......

/sits back, has his woman serve him a properly chilled beer

I just cleaned all the floors in my house in 33 seconds and I only used 1 gallon of gasoline. Now I'm going to get drunkr and watch hockey.

My husband was laid off the first week of January, so I asked him to do more chores until he found a new job. I did discover that he does the grocery shopping better than I do. I get distracted & usually forget 1 or 2 things, as well as buying stuff not on my list because it looked like a good idea.

/As I write this, he's downstairs doing laundry.

//What--I cooked dinner. AND cleaned the kitchen afterwards.

eddyatwork: Christ, like any modern American woman can even cook today. Shut down McDonald's and half the families in the country would starve to death.

I can, and do, cook dinner for at least 6 nights a week. If I know my schedule during the week is going to be crazy (I have to travel all over the tri-state area some weeks), I'll cook a whole bunch of meals on Sunday & freeze them.

/Tonight's dinner was turkey w/green bean almondine & yams with bourbon sauce

or just quit wearing them

You should at least give him a hummer, you know....

/Common courtesy

Amen to that, brother.

The dishes are cleaner when I do them.

/do I lose my man card for saying that?

I'm pretty sure that her husband has some gay.

My dad already did the laundry. Now he makes kickass salads.

I can cook and bake like a mofo (pretty good at improvising with whatever's in the fridge too) and am mastering the art of freezing stuff (have a ton of homemade chicken soup in there now - $6 for chicken and veggies, about 10 meals). The boyfriend can make Spinach Eggs Florentine and good coffee, and we split the dishes. It's more than a fair trade.

/it's a damn good breakfast

Why, it's almost as if men are better then women at everything, even at being women.

I find it depends on education level. If they have a university degree they can not function domestically, and think your trying to persecute them if you ask them to boil water. But shiat, don't pay for dinner when your out and they become the 50's lady that still clings to old traditions.

...but hey they look awesome naked, so I can't complain.

I don't mind folding, but ironing sends my blood pressure up

I move the slacks to iron a different part, and the first part gets a crease in it. My girl has to come take the iron away from me before I wing the farker off our balcony

My wife is unemployed right now, and I still do housework than she does. At least she cooks of an evening. Mainly because I point at my belly, and do my best Fat Bastard "Get in mah belly!"

treecologist: Amen to that, brother.

/do I lose my man card for saying that?

You can still keep it if you elaborate that your method is placing them in front of the dog or some other equally creative yet manly fashion of executing chores.

In fact my dog is the most effective cleaning agent at my disposal. Dog + peanut butter + toilet bowl is pure win.

Girl Wonder can't exactly cook and I do the bulk of the housework... But she can initiate a drift at 155 miles per hour to scrub off speed for a corner and nail apexes with laser precision.

So I'm happy to let it slide.

treecologist: The dishes are cleaner when I do them.

/do I lose my man card for saying that?

They just don't understand innovation. For instance, when I take a shower, I pull my underwear off and leave it on the bathroom floor. After a week, the floor is covered with underwear, and as I walk/slip/slide over it, it buffs the floor clean. When I pick it all up to launder them at the end of the week, the bathroom is clean and shiny. Laborsaving!

Just buy wrinkle-free chinos from Land's End and spray the bastards with Febreze when they start to get stinky. Dope.

Suede head: Why, it's almost as if men are better then women at everything, even at being women.

So, which gives better beejays?

It's true. I was in between jobs for about a month 5 years ago and when my g/f came home to a clean apartment and dinner ready, she was very impressed. Now that I'm buying her a house she'd better get on the ball and make me a sammich when I demand it! ;)

antron: treecologist: The dishes are cleaner when I do them.

/do I lose my man card for saying that?

I am not whipped, I just like the dishes than my wife gets them!

/not making this better, am I?

Um, "cleaner", I like the dishes "cleaner" than my wife gets them.

/only 3 beers so far but it's already going downhill

Silovik: But shiat, don't pay for dinner when your out and they become the 50's lady that still clings to old traditions.

Being in a relationship these days a financial investment for women. I pay for everything while my girlfriend spends all her extra money on clothes. When I bring this up, she tells me about all the lingerie she only buys because I like it. Ummmm. right.

Furthermore, I do most of the cooking and always keep the kitchen clean.

Sigh, my subscription to whipped is expiring next month. I need to renew.

The best chefs in the world are always men.

Oh please. I would come home from work to do dishes, mow the lawn, etc, and he would just sit and play videogames. When I asked him to help he'd yell, "I work all day, I deserve to be able to relax!"

So WTF. Where can I get one of these househusbands?

Control_this: Suede head: Why, it's almost as if men are better then women at everything, even at being women.

Well, vaginas have always mystified me. I mean, they're a hole, an absence. What do you do with them? Cocks are easy. You know where you are with a cock.

this just in,

Wah.

Wow.

That's farking deep.

It's funny, I just finished reading a monster flamewar over at Salon.com about how women are pissed at men because they don't do the chores properly. There might be a similar flamewar here!

You know what else men do better?

Not biatching about housework.

I hear you loud and clear. I might get flak for saying this, but from what I have seen this is a symptom of the 'white girlfriend.' I have buddies that are dating girlfriends from Asian, Persian, Arabic etc. backgrounds that were raised so differently. They aren't the oppressed slaves, but they seem to be able to do household things without thinking that they just turned back the clock on the feminist movement.

Dad?

This just in - talent and ambition tend to be higher in people trying to rise up in the world than in homebodies.

We both hate cleaning. I usually give in first. I know that after weeks of begging, when he finally admits that it's his turn to do the dishes, I'll have an empty sink in about a month. Love to cook though.

LordZorch: American women stopped doing household chores about 30 years ago, but will deny that fact to the death, even when it is obvious that it is true.

Most of them can't cook, won't clean, and only do laundry when they run out of clean panties.

Regarding the laundry: damn straight. what of it?

If I had a laundry machine that might not be true, but as it stands laundry gets done when I'm down to my last pair of undies.

Also, if I didn't have a full time job, the apt might get cleaned. Whatever.

I find that I do things more efficiently by not doing them until she does them. Things get done, with a minimum amount of work from me.

I was laid off for about 7 months last year. My live-in girlfriend at the time basically lost her god damn mind.

It wasn't so much that I easily did everything better than she did (I had always done that anyway), it was the insane jealousy she harbored that she had to go to work each day while I stayed home.

Sure, I slept in till 8am before hitting the job boards and making phone calls for 2 hours. Then I worked out twice a day, maybe went for a bike ride, hung-out at the pool (with my phone for recruiters), and played insane amounts of Armed Assault. Finding a job isn't a full time job. Once you get into a system of hammering the job boards for a week, there's not a lot of new stuff to apply to. You can get it all done in an hour or so because you've got all your materials and you know what to say.

Apparently what she didn't realize during my little "vacation", was that I had a measly income from Unemployment Insurance and was going through my savings to support myself. Minor detail in her eyes.

As soon as I found a new job I kicked that piece of shiat to the curb. It's bad enough being a man and being unemployed, but to listen to your girlfriend whine about how jealous she is because of it, that's the pinnacle of stupidity and selfishness. It's only fun in retrospect, when you're making money again. But to cut your income into 1/3 or 1/4 and have no ending in sight, that's a real, real potentially depressing situation. You gotta do everything you can to stay upbeat and realize this is just a minor speedbump. It'll be okay.

So is a vagina.

ugh... men? cleaning?? in the same sentence??? I have to remind mine to get out of bed, then I have to encourage him to get 2 plates out after I've spent the entire day cleaning and shopping and sorting out the things he won't do. He's allergic to washing up and won't sweep the floors (I don't own a vacuum cleaner and don't want one) can't put his rubbish in the bin, can't stop using the floor for clean/dirty clothes and can't put anything back when he's done with it and when it comes to cooking, don't go there.. I could write a recipe out for him and he'd STILL come to me to ask if he's doing something right and then I end up taking over because he's just got messaged on on wml/aim/yahoo - take yer pick... he's distracted and outta here...

yeah, he's lazy... but... heck, he's a damned good lover and a fine musician... at least he's got two endearing qualities

He has you well trained.

I hate to say it, but yeah... I AM better at doing a lot of stuff than she is. I can tell she doesn't like it much, but she's usually polite enough not to say anything. I think the secret is that "handy" guys don't sweat the small stuff so much and aren't as worried about how it "should" be done. Of course the downside is, when this approach goes awry... it goes motherfarking AWRY.

That depends. I've known PhD's that literally could not do their own laundry, as in calling their grad students as asking "How do I do laundry?"

I, on the other hand, have never had anyone to shoulder the load for any length of time, so I'm more than capable of laundry, cooking, etc.
