^^^ Who does that? I don't eat out all that much, I've never paid someone else to clean, and I LOVE cooking for and especially WITH my guy, and also being cooked for by him.
I just don't think these things are "girl jobs". They're everybody jobs, and we both do them. It's easy.
There would be no "helping out" were we married. It would not my job that he sometimes is just so sweet to relieve me of. It would be both of our responsibilities.
No "helping out" if you were married? ... where did you get that idea? The commitment is deeper (at least it is for us) after marriage.

I think she means no 'helping' in the sense that it's someone's primary job and the other person is just 'helping.' This is pervasive. She takes care of the house and he 'helps.' She takes care of the kids and he 'babysits'. It implies that housework is not the guy's primary responsibility when in fact it is both people's responsibility.
But to counter your argument, I think that given the choice between a woman who is good in the bedroom and a woman who is good in the kitchen, they'll take the one who is good in the bedroom and call for reservations.
Or they will find a woman who is good at both. That's a phenomenon.
Why wouldn't anyone want to cook for the woman they love either? Why wouldn't a man want to keep the house neat, not only for themselves but for their family, their woman, and their children?
I also like the look on my boyfriend's face when he enjoys a meal I've cooked for him, when I've ironed his shirts, or cleaned the kitchen. Equally, he seems to like the look on MY face when I enjoy the peaches he's canned or the pasta he's made from scratch, when he's cleaned up after my dog, etc.

Reading through this thread gives me the shivers and makes me really appreciate what I have, which I didn't think was all that rare nowadays, but I guess it might be!
Of course it goes both ways and please point out to me where in my post have I said that it should ONLY be a woman's job to cook and clean?
Go to the corner so I can teach you how to read!
This thread also gives me shivers. Seems to me that women have stopped being women, bunch of lazy asses.
This is all why we eat out every meal and just do very basic cleaning and pay someone to do the rest.
Eating out every meal is not only expensive and unneccesary waste of money, it's also unhealthy. There is nothing better than a homemade meal prepared with love, and not by someone who had a crappy day and couldn't care less if you die tomorrow.

Yes! Wow, you said it very well. That is the crux of it.

Which could very well be a wife in some of the scenarios described in this thread!

but seriously, if a woman has a good man, she should make him good meals!! This is not a rocket science really.
