Dummies. Men who help with housework are more tired than those who do not.

decreased testosterone and more estrogen in the males???

My wife's doctor mentioned this to her. Apparently there has been a real decrease and increase of these hormones in men.

A man's place is barefoot, celibate, and in the kitchen.

“The couples reported having sex approximately five times, on average, during the four weeks before the survey.”

The average married couple only has sex five times a MONTH??

I... I just...

wow.

Got to tell hubby that we’re doing better than we thought.

They may bitch and moan but sexually they want a man who will stand up for himself nomatter what. Even if he comes across a bit selfish.

I actually agree with you. In addition, I also tell both my daughter and my daughter in law that you don't want a guy to do all the things you'd do, the way you'd do them. If they did, they'd be gay and not the least bit attractive to you.

How many guys holding their girlfriend's/wife's purse in the middle of the mall realize they just failed a test?

I'll do a lot of things, but no. No way. Never.

No wonder there are so many angry and frustrated people in this country... :-)

I haven’t held it. I have guarded it on the floor outside the dressing room. Does that make me a homo?

I’d say this is a prime example of women viewing sex as a bargaining chip. He’s already doing it. No need to give up a chip.

Nope. There’s a BIG difference. I’ll watch it or guard it, but I won’t carry it.

I’ll bet the men who help out with housework are married to women who work full time and are parents as well.

In other words, now both of them have a headache.

I pay housekeepers to do the women’s work. And I have no complaints in the bedroom department.

That was along my lines of thinking.

Also, if a man is doing the housework, there is a good chance she is working. If she is working the kids come first, the job second, and he's somewhere down in the pecking order. There just isn't enough of you to spread around.

I love it that my guy mows the lawn, fixes the toilet, kills the ugly bugs, takes out the trash, and for years he took the kids to the library every week. I get to do the chores I like better. I’m better at laundry, cooking and shopping, packing and event planning.

Isn’t the idea to get help from the guy on things I am not good at, or he is better at? If he tries to do what I do, I just get frustrated, because he doesn’t think like me. I can’t even watch when he makes pancakes, because he does it “wrong”. But he is my absolute favorite Christmas light installer.

Hmmm, maybe I should show my appreciation soon....

“The results show that gender still organizes quite a bit of everyday life in marriage. In particular, it seems that the gender identities husbands and wives express through the chores they do also help structure sexual behavior.”

Well, actually........what the study suggests is

the more gender does not organize everyday life in marriage, the more that fact will restructure a couples sexual behavior.

There, fixed it.

And you expect a self-respecting woman to respect that sh*t?

Well, technically there’s housework and then there’s yard work. Guess what we do... Otoh, let’s also remember home maintenance and repair. There’s a division of labor, but we are working together.

Love and respect your wife. Be the man of the house and make it a pleasure for her to be the woman.
