Mom doesn't need to nag you, either, kiddo, if you do your chores!
Yes both my sister and mom like to come into my home and nag about stuff. One dish in the sink will not cause a collapse in my household. Sometimes I have to tell them where to stick it. But that's OK, you can never really get rid of those people. Girlfriends can be shown the door though.
The tricky part is they don't usually do it before they become wives because they don't care before this point. That's one of the reasons shacking up is not advisable!
You're right, the less a wife nags, the more inclined a man is to do various things for her.
I wish more women would consider just how disrespectful, demeaning, and emasculating it is to be treated like a child, because, that is exactly what a woman is doing when she nags her husband. Treating him like a child who needs to be trained will just **** a guy off if he has any backbone at all and I guarantee that most of us eventually learn that caving in to nagging even one time validates it as a successful behavior modification device and as such, more will ensue.
And some men are perfectly content to say, "Sure, I'll take care of it," and then never do it. That is one major reason I drop-kicked my ex. He tended to do it with things that had timelines, too, like taking the car in for inspection.
I'm glad my wife doesn't have the mindset some women may have. When I read "manipulate him into doing what he should already do", I feel once again how lucky I am to have the wife I have. Mature enough to not try manipulation of any kind, knowing that it is not going to work. When my wife asks me to do something, I do it because i know it will please her. She doesn't expect me to just drop what I'm doing to please her, however. If my reaction to her request isn't quite as quick as she would like she doesn't nag, sometimes she says nothing other times she will make a comment that reminds me to get with it. Somewhere she learned 'you catch more flies with honey than you catch with vinegar'...

The answer is within your own post. There's no need for nagging when things get done; your wife is not driven up the wall and doesn't have to do it. Therefore, there's really nothing special about your wife in that respect - you simply fulfill your responsibilities and promises. Nobody gets a kick out of nagging for its own sake.
My wife doesnt nag. What most women would usually nag a guy about I usually take care of myself before she has to say anything. What I did teach her to do is, to think before she opens her mouth. There is a way to ask someone to do things without sounding like a nag or worse yet a negative person. Bi**hes need to be taught certain things. You know.
The bolded part sounds like something out of a gangster rap song. As long as you're taking care of business, your s/o shouldn't have to nag. Spot on with everything else you stated bro.
Referring to women in general as *******? That's so frigging rude. If you want to refer to your wives, mama's, sister's, etc as ******* that's your deal. I don't get the leap into bigotry, tho.
