TV talk shows are constantly saying that women love it and think it's sexy and romantic when guys do stuff like take out the garbage, do the dishes, laundry, whatever.
It sure seems like a myth to me, because I have always been the kind of guy who likes to do his part and help around the house. I do it because I want to. Unfortunately, this has never made any of the women in past relationships get all warm and fuzzy inside. In fact, one even resented that I liked to contribute to any housework!
Was I simply with unappreciative women? Or is the whole thing about "men helping around the house is a turn on to women," just a big, fat, false myth?

I think the women you were with just didn't appreciate you helping out around the house. I don't know about it being a myth, but I like when a guy helps out around the house. It shows that he cares enough to keep the place looking good and that is a turn-on. Most women view it as a turn-on because it's rare that guys will help out around the house because most guys think that that is "woman's work" and that's so not true. Happy cleaning, lol....

It's not the fact you do chores around the house..it's the fact that you care and show a mutual respect for the woman rather than just "me larry the man of house..you judy housewife....wash my dirty drawers woman!" And yes you will have unappreciative or just..'differen't women who really don't care or take any interest in a man who cares in that way...in fact a lot of the ignorant ones think it's gay...oddly enough.
Is it a myth? No....but it's not really about the daily chores....in essence that's something you're SUPPOSED to do anyway, so in essence it just shows you're a responsible man....cause if you were single...wouldn't you do that sh*t anyway?
Yea man, you're in a world full of confused freedom...ethics and morals are being questioned and rebelled against....and for those who still hold faith to it are unfortunately suffering because of it....just DISMISS those fools and look for women who appreciate the fact you give a f*ck about them....rather than mull over the stupid high maintenance women that apparently have their priorities and desires truly f*cked...scuse my language...bad habit.

I really don't consider it sexy or romantic, but when my hubby helps out, he's more likely to get some. Here's why...if I work my job, take care of kids and do all the housework then at the end of the day I am tired, cranky and resentful- not sexy. If hubby helps with the housework, I feel appreciative and less stressed out= more chance of nooky.

I think it also depends on if you are asked to do any of those things. Women like for men to take the initiative. I think that you were probably with unappreciative women who expected you to do your part. Did you ever say thank you to her for doing her part? I think that as long as you were never appreciative of the things she did, she also in return may have been unappreciative. You have to give to get...

well all women differ in more ways than 1, so although it may or may not be a myth, it mainly depends on your mate/mates~it doesnt mean that she didnt appreciate you, b/c some women look at it as a mans job/duty, so there wont be any rewards in that situation, then there r some that have to beg or make a guy do it so there will be any rewards, some men do it so often & regularly that it goes unnoticed so there wont be any rewards,some men never do it & their lady really wants or needs then to & so when she meets up with a man that will & does do it oh HERE COMES THE REWARDS!!!!!!

Actually its about love language.
If you feel like you are showing these women love by taking out the garbage and helping out else where then your love language is possibly Acts of Sevice
mine is physical touch
you should look up on this topic and it will help you in your relationships.

Today's women expect guys to do "their share" and while they want to be appreciated for those same thing, they fail to see that you are going above and beyond.... since they just expect you to do it.
There are still a few of us who were born out of time and recognize that when a guy does things for you, it's his way of showing his love and contribution to the relationship.
No doubt, you are young enough to be my son..... but do you have an older relative around 50ish? I'm available......
Best Wishes,

You were with unappreciative women. But you are bound to one day meet someone who will see what a gem it is to have someone who fundamentally believe that caring for the household is a mutual responsibility. :) If you don't, email me! LOL.
