Already did that, several times over. But no one is lined up to take "his"
place, especially when they find out that they have to clean up after
themselves.  In fact all the contenders after him have had the nerve to say out
loud, "but if you loved me, you'd change......" or my favorite is, "once we are
together, you'll cook for me because you love me and doing that will show that
you love me."  None of them lasted very long....

Since I can't cook at all, I'd probably kill the guy anyway.  :-)


Katie,

Sounds to me like you just have bad luck on finding men ;-)

Men AND women should realize that they are NOT going to change their spouse >in any major way.

It took my wife nearly four years, but she finally got me to pick my socks
up off of the living room floor. Of course it might have been the fact that
she taped them to a ceiling light fixture just as company was arriving.... :-)

Anyway... My thoughts (not that anyone asked) are that men and women need to
work together. For example. My wife won't even touch a lawn mower. We've
come to the agreement that mowing the lawn will be my job. Her's
more-or-less will be the day-to-day cleaning. Mind you, we have other
compromises too. Cooking is a 50-50 thing. We have learned that we each have
different tastes when it comes to "clean". I dislike clutter, but could go
months without cleaning the bathroom sink. She's the other way around.

We tend to agree that we have complimentary likes/dislikes. If you put the
two of us together things balance out. Some things are split along the
"typical" sexist lines and others aren't. When we first were married, we
were determined that everything could be done by both of us. We also found
that idea wasn't really desireable either, so we compromised and found a
split we could live with. I know that she works hard and I still slack off
on some things, but one thing makes me positive that she'll keep me
around... She still needs me to open the pickle jar. :-)


And there are men out there that like to cook, you just need to look harder - >or eat out all the time ;-)

(...) Great idea! You wouldn't have lasted four years here though. My dogs would have just eaten all your socks in that time. You wouldn't have to worry about learning to wash them though, you'd just be buying new ones all the time :-) (...) (...) (23 years ago, 19-Jun-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
