Only yesterday, my man saw that my office garbage was full; he brought it back emptied. That action stirred up a little something inside of me. I found it sexy that he had taken charge and handled it. I believe it’s the same for men when you pick up or make their favorite dish, or walk around in a nighty and heels.
According to The CLR Chore Wars Report, a national study looking at how opposite sexes clean, men and woman have very different ideas when it comes to sharing household duties. No surprise there! In fact, 69 percent of women felt they did most of the work around the house, while 53 percent of the men disagreed, feeling they worked just as hard as the women when it came to cleaning up. The survey also found that arguing over chores was extremely common; about one out of five Americans admitted to arguing about housework on a monthly basis.
And the battle of dividing chores goes on in households across America. How does this ongoing dilemma affect romantic relationships? No touchy, no feely, no lovin’!
Many times men stop helping with chores because they are told that they don’t do it ‘right’ or they can’t do it as well as... Yes, a person can learn to do it your way; however, there is more than one way of running the vacuum cleaner.
So gentlemen, in this case, I encourage you to be the bigger person and look at helping with chores as a love drug—begin by rinsing the sink after you shave or perhaps, throw a load of laundry in the washing machine before going to work. Seduce her with laundry. By the way, if you get it done without being asked first, the love drug is even more potent. Are you ready for the burst of romance?
