I prefer to date/marry women/a woman too smart to fall for that crap.
Plus, I don’t mind.
I never understood while as a single guy, men are expected to do all these things to prove they are an adult and don’t live like a slob, but once a man is married, he can disavow all household work as below him, like a child.

Been married for 26 years and I still do my own laundry… LIKE A MAN!

Well, she does the laundry for me, not because I can’t or won’t, but only because I’ll do laundry every 3 weeks, and she’d rather do it sooner. Not complaining
My complaint is the “pretend you don’t know how to do housework, and like the sly dog you are, she won’t ask you to do it anymore” game.
If you and your spouse have your roles outlined in a way both are happy, then good for you. But pretending to be a helpless child to get out of things you damn well know you should help doing…

-When on most automated phone lines, if you continue to jam the number ‘0’, you will get transferred to a live person. Not just normal automated lines, but large companies where the REALLY dont want to tie up their employees with one little customer’s issue.
-Every 6 months I call our internet/TV company and ask for the ‘customer retention’ department. I tell them that I don’t really think I’m getting my money’s worth. That’s literally all I have ever said, and I usually get whatever their new promotion is, whether $19.95 per month for the next 6 months, or the free premium pack.
I was told once by one of the Direct TV employees to do this, which is how I learned it. He said they dont trust the employees with solving these issues, hence the employee sits on a computer and uses a negotiating tool to offer consolation.

I think we agree on a lot, I just don’t talk about it as much.
