A guy doesn?t know how to do the following:

**Yard Work
**Wash dishes
**Laundary
**Cook
**General house work :O

OR

What if ??.

1) His Mom still did simple ?adult? things for him ?.

2) He didn?t want to learn how to do what he considers a ?woman?s duties? ?

Would you consider being with him or marrying him ?

***gasps*** You are one of the good ones then Shaka πŸ˜‰

Well, I was talking to a friend of mine and we know some girls who are willing to put up with a guy that doesn't do anything for the sake of ... who knows. A few girls I know actaully worked two jobs just so there guys (if you could call them that) are confortable.

LOL, my cap/aqua boss's has a husband that does yard work and some house work -- he a capricorn so he knows how to pitch in πŸ˜‰ It's like 50-50 with them and I think thats the way it should be.

A man who knows his way around the the kitchen/house/garden/yard is devastatingly attractive to me.

Same here πŸ˜‰ But its not just that ... if a man can't take care of himself then how can "we" take care of each other?

It doesn't make sense .........

i like competent people and those who dont shy away from learning how to do things on their own rather than NOT doing them just because they dont know how... i find that lazy. that should answer this question. πŸ˜›

My grandmother (on my mom's side) is really into the "women" taking care of the "men". Most of my uncles -- except for two (hahaha, hey are both caps HA!) can't do anything for themselves because they were always taken care of by there older sister (when is my mother), it wasn't her choice but my grandmother persisted.

So I guess thats why I'm the exact opposite -- I've done it before but then I get frustrated after a while and I'm really to call it quits.

Lazy men are definitely created by their parents ... just like lazy women.

However, if a man can't help me with basic chores around the house ... I don't know if we can be together.

We are the same CP πŸ˜‰ I find that incredibly lazy! However, those same people are quick to call someone else lazy for some pointless reason.

Personally, I'm attracted to men who know how to take care of themselves and are independent. A man who looks down on general housework as a "woman's duty" or has his mommy still doing things for him as an adult is a HUGE TURN-OFF for me!

I wonder if some men have a "mommy" complex? Like they want to be treated like boys for all eternity or something?

My mother knew this woman who contantly begged her husband to get a job but he wouldn't look for one ....
