Through the years I learned how to cook breakfasts, and dinners. I can clean, vac, etc, I refuse to live in sh*t, or go hungry. Most of my mates could do the same. Anyone who can't do any of these, is just a lazy bastard, because none of it requires any degree of skill. It's a basic requirement, so anyone who cant feed themselves if they're hungry, or know where to get TP to clean their own arse has a major problem.

If cooking a meal is woman's work, why are all top chef's male? I wouldn't live with a person who hadn't the basic ideas of how to keep a house/area clean, or sit there in need to use the bathroom because they couldn't find TP I'd hand them a box of confetti and tell the lazy bastard to improvise just to see the look on their face.

Re: "Is it true that "men don't care"? I'm 100% hetro male, and forgive me for saying this, but your friend has accepted the way he is. If he went into the forces (military) they would knock that out of him. I just find it incredible that with every couple having to work to have anything approaching a life, that a few can't fend for themselves. I could say more like, was your friends partner at his mothers t*t till he was twenty? did she wipe his arse for him?? Your friend doesn't need to wake herself up. She needs to wake him up, or she' will be carrying him for the rest of her life.

Making something to eat isn't an art form, nor is cleaning up after yourself.

Q : Does she (your friend) want to be burdened with everything around the house till she's old and grey?

Q. What would happen (God forbid) If your friend was taken ill, would the lazy bastard go back to his mother??



.
When I was 8 years old, I used to take my 5 year old brother home at dinnertime (about half a mile from school), let myself in with my key that was kept safety-pinned to the inside of my pocket and then start COOKING. And I used to vacuum the house top to bottom for my mom and clean the windows.

I'm now totally self sufficient when it comes to cooking, washing and cleaning. When any woman comes to my house they always comment that it's cleaner and tidier than their places. Not always a good thing though if they're the looking after type

Do you mean that if they see your place a bit grubby they'd think you would need looking after??

I'd be thinking Phew, thank god he can look after himself, I've got enough to do!

I don't like being looked after - I like to sort myself out, but even in this day and age, some women still want to look after a bloke and adopt a more traditional role. This is just an observation. For some women, a self-sufficient man derails this role and in my experience, makes them feel uncomfortable

Q : Does she (your friend) want to be burdened with everything around the house till she's old and grey?

Q. What would happen (God forbid) If your friend was taken ill, would the lazy bastard go back to his mother??




1). No, she doesn't, but her husband is a pig and he actually does Not care if he lives like one. She on the other hand is clean and likes things kept that way. It's sad really.

2). No, but he'd be as happy as a lark.

Here's an example of what happened last weekend:

They'd been camping. She's had this tent for many years. It was her's from her 1st marriage. She'd kept it in nice order and knew the in's and out's of it. He went to take it down and was actually breaking the thing apart, because he didn't understand how it worked. She went over and said, "if you do it this way, it'll fall right into place...." He Screamed at her "I know how to take down a tent! Do you think I'm STUPID??" He's SO overly sensitive.

His father was "all man" and treated his mother this way, so... on it goes. Where does the chain stop? Who takes it upon themselves to break a chain of wrong understanding as to how to treat people?

As for name calling, I LMHO at some of you. I call my husband "Marge", and tell him he sounds like an old woman when he complains about things. Don't want to know What he calls me! lol :rolleyes:

This has been a fun(ny) thread and I'm enjoying it a lot. I think I'll read some of the posts to my husband and see his reaction to you men out there who are self sufficient. And BTW, WTG!! It's nice to see men who aren't afraid of taking care of themselves.

[Lulu2]

If only I'd lived with my husband before I married him! He'd been living with his aged parents and his mother ironed everything he wore.

The first night we were back from the honeymoon, he took a bath. I went in after he was finished and saw a tub of bathwater. When I asked about this, I was told his mother always emptied and cleaned the tub for him!

You can imagine how long THAT lasted! (It was downhill all the way!) :wah:

[CheshireCat]

Well guys, I've never been married, and from some of these stories I'm glad for it. I do, however, have a male room mate and he is wonderful. We cook for each other and do each other's laundry and are a pretty good team really. Maybe it's because we're just roomies. :p

That's a good question. We are both attractive people and have SO much fun together. Neither one of us is involved right now, both of us are working two jobs. I think it's a topic we just avoid.



You are so right, SEX just complicates everything.

But what if you are missing out on an opportunity of a lifetime?

The best relationships are based on true friendships :-4

Why don't you both get drunk one night

and then come here and tell us what happened?!! :p

Well, as you're driving home, think about what might happen if the sex doesn't work or one or the other of you gets possessive......

(Not to be the voice of doom here....but it WILL change your friendship forever!)

You know, I should just go ahead and sleep with him. If he ever got a girlfriend, I'd have to kill her.:sneaky:

Chershire, you wouldn't have to kill her, just maim her a little!:D

You know, my mother doesn't walk anymore and my father does all of the house work now. He might need a little prodding to do the laundry, but he takes it all in his stride!:-6

Well it looks like my wife lucked out, lol . We have been married 22 years(today) Happy anniversary to me. We split everything 50/50. If I get home before her I start supper.If she is home first she will. I help with the dishes and all other house work.I even clean the toilets. I do not understand why men think there wife is there to serve them.I was always taught to respect your other half and things will go much better in your life. We have been together since we were 15. I can see why so many marriages end in divorce.

I found this just now, when looking for the recent scap attempt posted:

Quick, Get me a beer!

===============

A man comes home from an exhausting day at work, plops down on the couch

in front of the television, and tells his wife, “Get me a beer before it starts.



The wife sighs and gets him a beer.

Fifteen minutes later, the man says, “Get me another beer before it starts.

She looks cross, but fetches another beer and slams it down next to him.

He finishes that beer and a few minutes later says, “Quick, get me another

beer, it's going to start any minute.

The wife is furious. She yells at him, “Is that all you're going to do tonight?

Drink beer and sit in front of that TV? You’re nothing but a lazy, drunken, fat

slob, and furthermore¦





The man sighs and says, “It’s started¦

An Old West cowboy was waiting at the train station for his mail order bride. When she arrived smiling, he looked her over much as one would do a horse. Deciding she was healthy enough, he said "Get in the wagon."



As the old mule pulled the wagon down the dusty trail, no word was spoken. Without warning, the mule stopped at a patch of grass and started eating.



"That's one," said the cowboy, who snapped the reins to get the old mule going again.



Soon the mule swerved to the side of the trail and stopped to drink from a stream.



"That's two," said the cowboy, who had to use a whip on the mule to get him headed home this time.



Hours later, the old mule again stopped to drink.



"That's three." And with that, the cowboy pulled out his rifle and shot the horse dead on the spot.



"What are you doing??" screamed his new bride. "We've been traveling for hours and you shoot that poor animal just for getting a drink? How are we supposed to get home now?"



The cowboy didn't even glance her direction as he said,



"That's one."

There are obviously some men about who have never really grown up. They want to be a little kid looked after, waited on, fed etc etc by his Mummy. And of course be indulged/rewarded in a few adult ways, like getting candy. Unless you're the sort of adult woman who really wants to mother everybody (in which case having a child/partner might work), this is going to be a big pain.

There are also, of course, some women who want their mate to be Daddy - proudly making all decisions, worrying for them both, taking control of lots of big stuff, finances etc, while they just play and look decorative. (Like the first example this may work for some couples).

In the real world these days, a partnership means each person doing their share of work - paid and unpaid - however they split it, making the big decisions jointly and supporting each other equally.

My ex-wife always moaned at me that, although I was clean and tidy, I never took any notice of her.

I came home from work one night and she asked me if I noticed anything different about her. I knew then I was in trouble.

"Have you had your hair done?" I asked, but it wasn't that.

"Are you wearing a new dress?" I asked, but it wasn't that either.

I inquired as to whether the shoes she had on were new. She started getting all sarcastic and stomped off. It was quite a few days later that I found out she'd been wearing a gas mask.

[AussiePam]

Grin.

I cut my hair once. I mean one day it was literally down to my knees, the next day it was a curly sue type bob. Three days later, in some exasperation, I asked himself if he'd noticed I'd cut my hair. And he hadn't. Was really surprised.

This blindness in a partner can of course have a positive side. :sneaky:

Oh, well....we're all family here, right? I remember a day when my partner of over 20 years became LIVID because he'd shaved off his beard and I hadn't noticed.

(GEEEEEZE! CRINGE! WHINE! SLINK!)

And...all right, friends, it WAS indicative of the way I felt about him.

Lulu2 wrote: I remember a day when my partner of over 20 years became LIVID because he'd shaved off his beard and I hadn't noticed.


I think it works for both sexes, and is just a human trait... for years I used to

have a good beard. I shaved it off, and that evening went to the pub, which

I very regularly attended.... various friends took no notice until one said "you

look different" after about an hour.
