Of course we don't. Thats why we have men. They do it all and make us women look good.

ladies do not fart. they drop their guts through their ass.lots worse.

I am late into the thread but i loved living alone. and hated it. Its the same as living with somebody though. you love bits and hate bits.

I could cook before i left my parents house. washing and ironing was a skill learnt quickly . My wife says I can cook clean and run a house better than she can.

would i go back to being single - Hell no.

Of course she says that. That's because she wants you to continue to do all the work. Your wife clearly isn't stupid..........

Of course...I understand...one simply flatulates delicately.

 

[Moon bunny]

feeling free to fart, hawk, burp, belch and pick ones nose whenever one chooses is also a bonus

But it is so much more fun when you can get a competition going.

Wasn't thinking specifically about an individual post... just the way established groups can focus in on an individual and then it gets uncomfortable... it seems to happen most often in CA&D and Commuting.

CA&D is pretty tame really you just have to stand your ground but be prepared to admit it when you are wrong (something a few others should consider).

My only dislike is that some posters (on ocassion) get stick because of who they are not what they post.

What is this "ironing" of which people speak?

I wonder if there is a greater correlation between cyclists, a mode of transport where you can have your own space, and people who live alone.

Riding home from work a wee while ago, empty streets, blurred and water kissed by the permanent Scottish drizzle, I was reflecting on just that.
A long ago story came to mind.
There was a young, pretty, extremely clever student at Glasgow University.
She came from a small island abroad, fell in love with a Scotsman a bit older than her.
She told me, in tears: "he jumps out of bed at 6 on a weekend morning! I want romantic lie ins, he wants to go bike riding!"
Needless to say, the relationship never survived.
I think cycling taken to the extreme can be a form of escapism, unless of course you are a pro.
Much better for you than taking to the bottle or binging on chocolate though!

Moral: she embraced the pillow, not the peloton....

I think this maybe where you could have gone further with her training.

[QUOTE 2763982, member: 9609"]Could women be their own worst enemy when it comes to doing jobs around the house with bizarre standards of what needs to be done. I have seen my wife hover an entirely clean carpet then say to me, why couldn't you have done that. Baths don't need to be washed out, it happens automatically when you have one. clothes that have only been worn once or twice do not need laundered. And then there is the complete madness of 'the ironing'.... underwear does not need to be ironed, or towels or dusters or bed sheets or pillow cases or socks. In fact the vast amount of stuff that gets ironed, didn't even need washed in the first place. It does seem to me that men get into trouble for not doing jobs that didn't need doing.[/quote]
That really is quite disgusting.
