let a woman "serve" him. I don't think it's a super big deal, but today after barbeque, all the women (my grandma. my mom, my aunt, and my brother's girlfriend) cleaned the kitchen, while we guys just sat around talking in the living room. Why did I just sit and let the women clean after us......?

i think more and less u wanted to help but u was with the guys and there is nothing wrong with that. more then likely the women would of told u to go hang out with the men, they got it. u said it was a barbeque, well every bbq i every went to the guys did the cooking the moving the tables etc. but i dont know what kind u all have meaning who cooked and all. theey are not serving u so i dont want u to think that. thats something us women do together and thats something u men do together. maybe the next time u can say u guys got the cleanin gup u women go in the room and relax and chill. talk to the rest of them i feel sure they wont have a problm!

Don't beat yourself up over it. At family get-togethers, this is perfectly normal. At least it is in the South! LOL! Sometimes a kitchen is a woman's domain and they were bonding all the while they were cleaning, believe me. Next time, just ask if they need a hand with anything. They'll probably laugh and say no. But if you ever have a wife or girlfriend, always do your share.

When guys get together with other guys they act different. It is in DNA I think. They always get very macho and try and have the best story. If you would have helped in the kitchen they would have teased you. Subconsciously you did what a guy does and most women know this. FYI I like your picture.BTW I am female.

Because you did. You made the decision to sit around while the women did all the work. Maybe next time you will get up and help them, or even take the iniciative to get the other guys motivated to either help or do it all. It's all up to you.

dont think anything of it. sometimes at "family gatherings" the girls like to clean up, but we talk alot while we clean. it ends up being quite fun.

Because you didn't want your grandfather, father, brother and uncle to call you a wussy.
Why did you just sit there?

Way to go Blue! You did this because you are flawed. If it bothers you enough to post on here, then change it.
