A man wanted a new aardvark so he looked through the classified ads. He phoned a number he found and an elderly lady answered. "How much are your aardvarks?" he asked. "Theyre L6 each," came the reply. "Did you raise them yourself?" inquired the man. "Oh yes," she said, "Yesterday they were only L5 each."

It was found that people who had reported frequent worries and demands from a partner of had a 50-100 per cent increased mortality risk, while those who experienced regular conflicts within any type of relationship had a two to three times increased mortality risk.

Well that's just stupid. You are a good for nothing, lazy slob who can't even get off the computer. Why don't you go out in the real world and make a decent salary so that I can have that spa day that I so greatly deserve instead of posting ridiculous nonsense.

And another thing....

Men shouldn't be letting women nag them anyway. I don't. They should put their feet down. One problem today is that women are a lot louder and more boisterous than they used to be.
not a problem you will ever have to deal with, so don't worry, be happy

Maybe the men shouldn't whinge so much, eh?

Well there's only the one here who really does "whinge" so it's not really fair to use the term "men".

Actually, now that I think about it, probably not fair to use the term "man" either. Child perhaps.

See what happens, fellas, when you stand up for yourself rather than allow a woman to get her own way all the time? It's time we started putting our feet down and showing who's the boss. For too long, these days, women just expect to have it all their own way at home without considering their husbands or partners. Times are a-changing.

These days? Look what Queen Victoria did to poor Albert. She nagged him into a grave within a few years. :p

All men should refuse to do women's jobs at home until women start doing men's jobs at home, like re-tiling the roof, bleeding the radiators and taking the spider out of the bath.

However, as women refuse to do these men's jobs, it's only fair that men refuse to do the ironing and washing at home until women buck their ideas up and start pulling their weight in the household.

You never met my grandmother. She worked at a lumber in the mill from age 17-30 and helped my grandfather build a house. She did all of the jobs you speak of and then some. After he died she did a lot of the maintenance work herself until she couldn't anymore.

You also haven't met my last girlfriend who is a carpenter. Time to get out of the 19th century. Wait, maybe not, back then women did do all of these jobs and more. The jobs you speak of as being just for women were a fluke for 1-2 generations in the 20th century. Before that both men and women did all of those things.

Reminds me of an incident I had at work about five years ago. One of my co-workers, a man, was saying "Women have to deal with so much. They have periods, menopause, child birth, what do we have to go through that compares with that?" I chimed in "We have to deal with them."

I have to agree with you here. Not only that, but more and more women are being patted on the back, made to look good, okay to practise a double standard, okay to put men down, in life, tv, etc. Fathers and men are rarely complimented. I still believe that the break down of families, marriage was when the woman went out to work.
Why does a woman think she has the right to nag a man to death, he is a grown man, if he wants to mow the lawn, fix the roof, etc, he will or wont his decision. If you do not like it,,leave. Let him find happiness. You can too. It is okay for women to band together and ball bash, but hey if a man does,,,look out!!!!
I stand beside my husband good or bad. We have a wonderful life full of respect and love.

Kitchen, housework is mine, outside, car, maintenance is his.

Also comparing women of the past that worked alongside their husbands to build THEIR home, and stayed home, as to women who go out and build homeS. Well big difference, not worthy of a comparison. It is called grasping for straws.

Times are changing? You sound like an old decrepit man. Showing them who is boss? You view your wife as an employee? Learn to work in a team, you weak limp bastard.

In another related study...

Women who carry some extra weight tend to outlive men who mention it!

:lol:

All men should refuse to do women's jobs at home until women start doing men's jobs at home, like re-tiling the roof, bleeding the radiators and taking the spider out of the bath.

However, as women refuse to do these men's jobs, it's only fair that men refuse to do the ironing and washing at home until women buck their ideas up and start pulling their weight in the household.

Oh, I forgot. Women are only interest in equality when it's advantageous to them. That's why they whinge when men don't do the ironing, yet they themselves aren't expected to re-tile the roof or bleed the radiator.

You're an idiot and a sexist pig!

My other half helped build this house from the ground up. She is probably far more handy than you. She can also maintain her own vehicle and do engine repair. I do lots of cooking & cleaning and laundry. Now before you go off all half c*cked (not that I think you have even half of one) we do not have role reversal, we both do everything as required. We are equal partners, no 'woman's work' or 'man's work', just stuff that needs doing and the work never cares who does it.

I couldn't agree with you more. And I'll be the one who's laughing when those men who don't have the balls to stand up for themselves die years before me as a result.
