My Motto: If you want a job doing, then do it yourself.

You ask SOME man to do a job for you and the guarentee is that they will 'botch' it. They never put 100% effort into it and its always ends up in a frank spencer scenario.

You always end up playing mumsy with them, as they struggle to do the simplist of tasks, like putting the rubbish out, they lift the bag but drag it along the concrete which makes the bag break and spillage happen, you turn around to them and say 'give-it -here'. Dew! Dew! Dew! Trust me praise does not work in these types of situation.

I could say the same thing about women . . . very easily. But first I will address your concerns.

Men, generally are not lazy . . . we are just tired.

Surveys have been done, and men usually wake up 1-2 hours before women. Commute 2-3 times farther than women. Work 12-16 hours longer per week than women. Pay for the majority of the bills, including mortgage/rent, utilities, food, clothes, as well as the luxury items you enjoy.

And when we get home after being away for 12-14 hours a day because of earning a living . . . we want to relax. It is not laziness . . . we need to unwind and destress. Can you understand that?

In most cases, I would say no . . . and that would be a fact. Because number said and done . . . women complain, that guys don't help out around the house either. Which is also, BS . . . 89.7% of guys, who own their homes, take pride in their home. We mow the lawn, do repairs, even take out the garbage . . . like we did before you came into our lives. If we rent, we are most likely not to care . . . 59.2%.

Do you want to know why your men do a piss poor job on the things you want him to do? I will tell you why . . . straight up . . . because you nagged the sh*t out of us until we do it. So we do it begrudgingly and do a half a**ed job, so you don't ask us again.

If you want us to do something, say please. I noticed, from the past, when a my gf or my beloved asked me to do something and say please (in a nice tone) . . . I am more willing to do it and usually get it done quickly. But if I am told . . . "Do this, do that, do this . . . " without hearing my name or even please . . . most often than not . . . I don't hear you. And after you nagged us to death . . . then we eventually do it . . . and we don't give a sh*t how we do it.

Look, I know women now-a-days, work full-time jobs . . . as well as try to manage a household. It's difficult. It was easier in the good old days, when men work and women took care of the house . . . but women made their choice and decided to go to work. I am not saying that it is not necessary . . . but since women joined the work force, the income of the standard household nearly doubled . . . and the inflation rate went up nearly tripled during the first two years and it has been going up ever since.

Some women feel like they have two jobs - one at work and one at home. Consider this . . . women have more flexibility in their jobs than men. Until just recently, men could not take time off of work, because they were having a baby. Some companies, still won't pay men for the time off, while women get paid for that time.

I posted a lot of information, in my own blog . . . and I know I don't have the space to provide all that data . . . but I will provide links here . . . and the topic and a brief gist.

Communications - Key or Dagger to Relationships ( http://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-1fu03lEleqEHvVmUM.5t9K4-?p=201 ) Talks about how to communicate . . . when is the best time . . . and not to nag or complain.

Simply because we are mere men. Put it this way, why are most women never on time?

I think the answer to your question could be as follows:-

Men have to tune out after working a lot. Simple as that. We work the whole day and we only want some rest peace and quiet. The same way women want rest, peace and quiet when that time of the month comes

Because women bring it on themselves.

Stop molly coddling our sons, and let them know a lover is not half a substitute for the things mummy used to do.

Though saying that, a person will only push their luck as far as you're willing to let them get away with it. ha

And not all men I've met are lazy actually. Some were, but I wouldn't say the majority.

I guess you know you've made a generalisation.

There are no women in the house where I live and if we behaved as you stated, we'd be in a right mess.

The men who ARE lazy have usually been pampered by their mothers or they could be arrogant. they became like this as a result of their upbringing. If it isn't corrected by the age of 16 - 18 then they'll be like that for life. If you have a man like that and you don't like it there ARE plenty of men who behave better.

From experience it is usually the men who have been molly coddled by their mothers that are the most useless. They are lazy and have a warped idea as to whose job things are, i must add though in my relationship everything is shared, even putting the rubbish out.

Most men is a loose term. Most people would be more like it. As for men they have to find the relationship of what you asked them to do and whats in it for them. I realize this is selfish but it is true. If they can't see a reward for for what they are doing then they tend to do it half assed.

I resent the statement and actually believe you have met a bunch of "loser" men.

I for one am not some mothered gent who married a woman to have a new mom.

And I know many men like myself. You seem to have met a bunch of morons who do not represent men at all. Are they all fat, white, middle class American men?
