Maybe this has been done before but I did not see it.....
Ladies....if there was one trait or aspect of the male race that you could change what would that be?
As the starter of this thread, let me say that men have a bad habit of hearing us but not listening to us and then they make assumptions as to what we want or need....
Anyone else?

This isn't an indictment of men any more than it is of women, but most men tend to avoid doing things they consider to be women's work (cooking, doing dishes, ironing, washing clothes...), but by the same token, too many women avoid doing things they consider men's work (working on cars, swinging a hammer, fixing things around the house...). I grew up on a farm, and I can do a lot of things even a lot of men wouldn't tackle, but the guys I live with still rely on me to do more than my share of cooking, washing, ironing, etc.

Not a lady, but I'd say the worst trait of any purely male race would be infertility

There seems Pl l l to me to be more than enough that feel they are a gift from God. That even though they are more than a little overweight, bald but with a thick coat of back hair, and have the personality of a spoiled 2 year old, that all women are going to find them irresistibly sexy? I'm here to say, that isn't the case. If a guy can't take care of himself, he stands no chance of being able to take care of me.

That's something that affects either gender.

sorry, did you say something?
You can’t truly call yourself peaceful unless you are capable of violence. If you’re not capable of violence, you’re not peaceful. You’re harmless.

Some of us say the same thing over and over to the men in our lives.
At some point he just turns the sound off and may miss the really import message.

That problem guys have consistently performing certain household tasks with only 50% efficiency. Aka “half-assed”. Eventually we get tired of having to do the job again anyway and tell them not to bother. I think the name for that particular affliction is Reverse Psychology.

Sounds to me that rather than a failure to perform these certain tasks to your definition.
Maybe it could be a failure in Communication.
What do I know I have never lived with a man.

Maybe it could be that they just don’t do the task properly.

That's my problem! I live with two guys who do a half-assed job at everything around the house, except sex! So I just wind up doing things myself if I want them done right, and they just sit back and let me take over rather than putting forth the effort to do things the right way.

Is it just me or has anyone else notice men can’t find things in the house even with things are literally RIGHT THERE in front of them ?
I agree totally - I can't find things that are in plain sight. Which is why I go through a 3 pack of reading glasses month.
For some reason the refrigerator, specifically stuff in the door shelves, is the worst (and I do nearly all the cooking!).

I would hope that you know me well enough that this sort of behavior would never be tolerated with me. They know you are going to step in and do the job, so there is no motivation for them to do things the right way. Perhaps a withdrawal of certain key benefits of living with you, might encourage them to pull their weight a bit. I am sure the line would be long and energetic of guys willing to do there share around the house for an opportunity to share in the other benefits that exist by living there. Grown men are like children, they will do or not do, whatever you let them get away with....it took being estranged from my sister and several very close friends for a couple of years for me to learn this, but I learned it and will NEVER make that mistake again.

We're not all children. Until very recently (when my fiance moved here) I did nearly all the shopping, cooking, cleaning, dropping off and picking up from school/doctors/activities, bill paying, simpler house repairs, logistics and scheduling, yadayadayada, for two kids and my Dad, all while holding down a full time job. I drive to the ER for emergencies, I wipe away tears when boyfriends are mean, I celebrate all victories, I mediate all arguments.
I still do most of that, though I have some help now (thankfully).
Yeah, I still can't find the Worchester sauce bottle which is right in front of me in the fridge door. I ask my daughters or LJ. I suspect it has more to do with how men and women's brains are wired than laziness. Because the reason I'm looking for it is so I can make supper for everyone.
Sorry if I sound a little defensive there. But some men work HARD for their familes.

Sorry, if I offended and that was not my intent....there are exceptions to every rule, and I am smart enough to realize that there are some fabulous men out there. i have just recently begun seeing a gentleman that is in fact a true gentleman. There are stereotypes about all people and I am sure there are beefs, that the guys have about women. No one is perfect, neither sex is perfect and there are good and bad in both. The purpose of this informal poll on the thread was just to see if women were having some of the same problems with men, or if in fact their particular situation was unique.

It's all good. I'm sure there are a lot of deadbeat men out there. But my guess is they are outnumbered by men who quietly do what needs to be done, everyday, 365/24/7. We tend to be invisible, while the boors and assholes take up all the air in the room, and sometimes it is frustrating. My frustrations clearly spilled into my post. Apologies.

Amen Brother.
I personally have raised my oldest son by myself until he was 18 and then remarried into a house with 5 more kids and had another one as well. I have been running numerous companies and angling kids by myself for years because of the wife working nights most of the time. I cooked and cleaned and ran companies and still do most of the time even now that the kids are older because most teenagers these days are lazy and useless most days. As for not finding anything, well everyone in my house knows the rules. Put it back where it belongs or you no longer get to touch it. My personal stuff is only touched by me and no one else, even the wife.
I know this was for the ladies but like Verbal said, there are a lot of us quietly running things and getting it done with little or no help from ladies. I know there are a lot of ladies out there that the role is reversed like my mother who had to do it all with us kids by herself. Prob where I learned it from.
Sorry to intrude on the ladies posts.

Haha I just shake my head at my husband when he can’t find things and 80% of the time it’s literally in front of him or somehow his eyes looked right over it. The reason I even mentioned it was because I remember when his grandpa was looking for his jacket in the mud room and his grandma said it’s hanging in the same place it’s been for years. Then his grandpa said “I’m not blind, it’s not here”
We searched for 30 mins for that jacket, I looked at granny and we went in the mud room where he was in the beginning... moved another jacket and under it was the jacket he wanted lol
The jacket was in the SAME place as always, but he hung up another jacket on top of it and I’m guessing either didn’t see it or he was too lazy to look behind other jackets lol
All you could hear after he grabbed his jacket was granny shouting one word lol “Men!” Lol ?

Men. I'd move their brains from their dicks to their ass so they not only talk through it but also think with it. So you don't get a delay between actions and words. Mind you you it still would be shite.
