sum things i don't understand

perhaps it's because i'm single, or maybe because i am me, but i really don't get some things about what women expect of men.

#1: women expect men to be home for dinner. on time.

my response: now really ladies, this is the new millenium. this isn't the 1950s. and me? i don't eat "dinner". so will my man need to be home for dinner? no. will he get any when he gets home? maybe. just about the same answer as if i would get dinner made by him waiting for me when i get home.

i just don't care that much about eating with people. during the years i grew up, we had a lot of fights at the dinner table. now i'd just rather eat in front of the tv or something. "DINNER" is not a hot button for me. if my man wants dinner when he gets home he can 1) call for a pizza & pick it up on the way home, 2) bribe me for dinner, 3) make his own (and mine too). otherwise, he can do what i'm doing when i get home from work: see what is in the fridge and put it on a plate and eat it.

IMHO, "dinner" is much ado about nothing.

however, the on-time part is another topic!

#2: women expect men to take out the garbage, mow lawn, and nag nag nag until it gets done.

my response: why is this a man's job? like women have no arms. i'll either take out the garbage myself (after all i grew up doing it) or it will mold and rot until someone breaks down & does it.

and the lawn & other stuff? if my man agrees to do/fix something i'll give him a reasonable amount of time & then if he doesn't do it, i'll hire someone else to. when he sees the bill chances are he'll get on it next time. if he doesn't care, why should i. i'll just start hiring people to clean the house too while we're at it. we'll have less fights, more done and more time to play. of course we'll be poor, but who cares. we'll be poor and happy.

who the hell cares if he doesn't do all this stuff? not me...not right now anyhow. wait until you see my boyfriend-blog and then i'm sure i'll have another opinion (full of trying to coerce him into "doing the right thing", god forbid.

what do i care about?

damn it, be a man of your word. if you say you'll call, call. if you say you'll show up, show up. if you say you'll do something do it. or else i'll find someone else who'd be most happy to do all of the above in your place.

nuff said.
