why are men so lazy?

Question

instead of picking thing up! they walk over it! for example,

Answer 1

Does that make my ex-wife a man!!

OMG I'm GAY!!!

Answer 2

I don't know, it's a good question.
My bloke will do chores, but only when I explicitly ask him. Other than that he can sit around the house for hours without noticing that there are dirty dishes everywhere, that the washing needs bringing in, the living room is a mess, the lawn needs mowing etc. If I ask him he'll usually do it no problem, but he never seems to notice.
The worse thing is - when he ever makes himself a drink he ALWAYS leaves the cup/glass or whatever on the table/desk or wherever he was. He just lets them pile up all over the house. Grrrrrr!!!

Answer 3

Your man isn't "men". He is one of a species of which there are millions and millions and millions. What if a man said "all women are shopaholics" just because his wife is one? See what I mean?

Human beings come in all shapes, sizes, characteristics, habits, quirks and foibles. If he's a good guy in all others ways, and just has this habit of dropping his clothes on the floor, lol, see if you can get him to think about putting them somewhere else, and if he slips once in a while, well, heck, are YOU perfect? It's a little irritating, I know, because I've got a husband who kinda does the same thing. But he's such a great guy in every other way, he's still a keeper. Don't sweat the small stuff.

Answer 4

I think it is a learned behavior. I bet when he was growing up, he had a Mom or someone that did everything for him and never made him clean or be responsible.
I have a rule when it comes to men, never start something that you don't want to do for the rest of your life. So don't pick up those dirty undies from the floor, make him do it. Don't pick up those wet towels from the bathroom floor, make him did it etc...,
Sit down together and talk about the household chores and responsibilities. Tell him what you will and won't do and what you expect and don't expect. Divide them up, so there is no question. Communication is the key to any good relationship.

Answer 5

Earth to Kayla, specific expensive there's a difference between lazy and laid back. The lazy guy will ask you to upward thrust up out of your chair to scratch his back for him even however he has a back scratcher sitting in his hand. The laid back guy will purely turn over on his back and rub up and down like a canines and scratch himself. OR, A lazy guy will ask you if he can excitement you later as quickly as he has had his excitement with you. The laid back guy will say, woops, I kinda have been given too excited, supply me 10 Sugar Britches and that i visit guard you. All without breaking a sweat or appologizing for being too speedy. So, is there a difference or not?

Answer 6

Interesting....here is my theory. The one's who are lazy, had momma's that picked up after them continuously as children and probably never had to do many chores around the house. I am in my second marriage and I also have 2 stepsons and 2 of my own sons that all live under the same roof...and let me tell you...I love my husband...he works to support us, but when it comes to housework....it's like, I am the maid...and I am not lazy when it comes to doing the basic housework and cooking and everything, but when you are one person and trying to keep up after 6 people in a household...let's just say, it's a joke. My husband's oldest son's take right after him in the belief that "the mom" takes care of all the needs of them "at home". I seriously left my one stepson's dirty underwear on the bathroom floor for three days. Then I picked them up and hung them on his lamp in his bedroom...I don't know what to say about it all. It's a lack of caring about your personal space. It's sad.

Answer 7

A real man is not lazy!
The ones that are lazy had someone picking up after them all the time...

Answer 8

You can have my husband then, he's an absolute clean freak and it drives me crazy! He'll hoover over when I've just done it and I find that offensive cos it's like saying I didn't do a good job of it but he tells me I should just be happy he does it. I have to keep reminding him that this is a home with KIDS and he can't expect it to look like something he'd inspect in the army

Answer 9

There is nothing like a general statement to reinforce a stereotype....

You need to practice behavior modification.
Tell your man, once, that you are not going to pickup his clothes (or whatever) anymore. Then don't be his maid. Either he gets the message and changes, or you will have much larger relationship issues to work on.

My advice: make sure it's a battle that really needs to be fought. If it's not, then let it go.

Answer 10

Why do some (not all) women throw things on the floor and never pick them up until the man steps all over it.

Answer 11

That. Is a generalization. I cannot stand to see stuff lying about. I don't like it when some one comes in and there is a coat rack by the door and they just throw their coat on a chair, the floor or the couch. What, are they blind. I have seen and experienced women doing this too, so please don't generalize about 'all' men. Women can be slobs too.
