    Default Dumb Lists for Idiots in Relationships

    http://dating.personals.yahoo.com/si...ask-you-to-do/

    http://shine.yahoo.com/channel/sex/1...ver-do-552285/

    Some of these 'Rules' are so obvious it's pathetic they are even listed. Some reflect such atavistic attitudes on the part of men and women alike, you'd think they were compiled in 1953.

    Then there are a few that I have to question, like the ones about the haircuts. It's all well and good to be considerate and not bash a botched haircut, but if I decide to go get a mohawk knowing full well my wife hates them, I'm not going to expect her to pretend it looks great on me. Especially if she is the type to want to tell me what kind of haircut she likes, what clothes she likes on me, etc. I don't see anything wrong with considering what kind of appearance your SO finds attractive, especially if you want them to fuck you now and then.



    Then there's this little tidbit:

    "At the end of a hard day, there may be smoke coming out of your ears, but let’s face it: You’ve basically been sitting on your butt."

    Fuck you, Diane Otis. How the hell do you know that?

    To be sure, a lot of guys ARE sitting on their butts all day, and housework is a bitch--I fucking HATE cleaning--but a lot of women are sitting on their butts all day too. Kids do make it a lot tougher, that's for sure. But trying to tell a guy in a high-stress occupation (like say advertising for instance) that he's just sitting on his ass all day because he didn't vacuum the floor is not only ignorant but rude as hell.

    But really I mostly find lists like these a little scary. Are couples in the USA really still stuck in the 1950's, or what?

    ^ Yes. Look at modern commercials. Advertisements for Swiffer in which only women are used... advertisements for grills in which women carry out platters of food to the men who have apparently just discovered fire...

    Though the more I think about it, the more I think it's silly that advertisements aren't trying to stay ahead of the curve. I mean I know the aging population is full of people in 50's-esque relationships, but they should realize that the next few generations are different.

    And yet, my SO and I have a pretty damn egalitarian relationship. And he's almost 40. Guess it depends on the couple (duh, but true).

    Oh sigh. If only all relationship woes could be solved by a to do(n't) list. Now that ladies magazines are moving online, we are going to see a lot more of this kind of stuff, I'm afraid.

    Oh that's good!

    What's Swiffer? I never, ever watch TV except on those rare occasions I go to friends' houses and they don't turn it off. So I miss a whole lot! By choice, though.

    What's weird is--much as I despise TV for any number of excellent reasons--because I never watch it, when I am around a live, working television I have a really hard time keeping my eyes off it. Commercials especially. And so many commercials are so fucking funny, for all the wrong reasons, that my friends look at me like I'm some kind of idiot as I am laughing insanely at truck commercials and feminine hygiene commercials and toilet paper commercials, and so forth.

    So where are the lists for women's rules? In the women's magazines or the men's? I suspect the former, though I don't know whether that's good, bad, or just fucking stupid as the lists of rules are anyway, lol.

    I hate sexist advertisments. I know just as many women who work (and I know stay at home dads) yet you rarely see women manning grills or men washing floors in ads (though I know many who do). This is my #1 pet peeve about advertising. Not to get off on a tangent I know lazy people that stay at home, and also lazy people who work (both male and female in all cases). Yet if we go by these articles everyone would think all women stay at home. Incidentally I once lived with a guy who loved to clean and cook. He'd come home from work earlier than me and have dinner ready. If he wasn't such a mean alcoholic/drug addict I may have married him. I would never date a guy who didn't also cook and clean.

    I've actually had exboyfriends who's tried to pull the make a sandwich or buy gifts for his families. I refused to. I'd add another one: cut down the person to family members. Yep, that is one I dealt with when an ex would get mad at me. Another one was cut down weight even though he was fat and I wasn't. I am glad I didn't marry these guys.

    I have to say the one article by Diane Oatis is extremely sexist. Sounds like a 50's article.

    I dunno I'm liking the good boyfriend traits.

    My last bf and I were not even friends on Myspace so I could care less about whether his status was single or not. It was not and neither was mine but still. Who cares.

    I don't know...number 3 on the Husband List doesn't really apply to me. I would die a happy woman if someone I was dating/married to bought me a KitchenAid Professional 620 Stand Mixer in satin copper from Williams-Sonoma.

    lol that's cute. I need a damn blender too. Single broke young parent person here, thinking the two parent model IS actually a little better... lately ... Anyways, it just boils down to what makes individual couples happy, right? Anyways, the world is idiotic. Just something I noticed.

    I don't know that I'd say Swiffer ads with women doing the swiffering are sexist as much as they are targeted. Let's face it...95% of people that buy Swiffer are female. If I'm selling golf clubs, I'm not putting ads of women swinging golf clubs in my ads. If I'm selling Legos, I'm not putting 75 year old ladies playing with Legos in my ads. There's no sexist conspiracy with this, they just want to sell as many Swiffers as they can with the ad budget they have.

    I think advertising works in the other direction, too. For instance, my husband asked me to go get a new vacuum today because he is downright afraid of buying the wrong one and having to deal with the return process. The other issue is that he doesn't want to be seen buying a vacuum, and getting the 20 questions about "this isn't a gift for your wife is it?" or "Ah, you must be a house husband now?"

    I think men are as negatively affected by the stupid ads as women are. I told my hubby he could go buy a vacuum at Home Depot if that made him more comfortable, instead he would rather clean out the garage today as a trade off for my time finding and buying a vacuum. Poor guy, I feel a little bad for him, actually. Not bad enough to stop him from cleaning the garage, though.

    Yes, in women's magazines. You'll find things like "Signs that he is in love with you" or "How to please your man in bed" with equally ridiculous lists as the ones you posted.

    I'm pretty sure the vast majority of women over the age of 14 only read those things to openly ridicule the lists or the writers. We love to trash talk, but there are very few ways to do so without ending up friendless. These articles are safe trash-talking outlets for the female propensity toward cattiness, without any risk to personal relationships.

    Men look for useful gifts while women want meaningful. I tried like hell to get my last girlfriend to buy me a video game for my birthday, every time she asked i would say "left 4 dead, i really really want it". She just would not have it, apparently something i would enjoy for many many months was simply not meaningful enough. I don't even remember what she ended up getting me, i bought myself the game and i still play it today, i also learned that i better buy her something super fucking special when it was her turn or id be hearing about it for a long time. Frankly, i can't handle that kinda pressure.

    What the hell? Why didn't she buy you that shit? My ex harped on and on and on about an iPod Touch, so I got him one for Christmas. I know women who like, make collages and stuff. Men don't like that. They like toys.

    Ugh I wish I could teach classes on this stuff.

    I'm the opposite, I buy toys for people and expect the same. Exboyfriends I have bought CDs, video games, DVDs, etc. I often get hell from female family members asking why I can't be like other women and request clothes, perfume, etc.

    I still have no idea what the hell a 'Swiffer' is.

    This is slightly off-topic, sort of, but how many guys have problems buying Tampons for their SO? It's never bothered me in the slightest, but it's anathema to so many men.

    Is my dick going to fall off, or what? Obviously I'm not using them myself, and it's likely that if I am buying Tampons I am fucking the woman they are for--so what's the big deal???

    Oh I know a lot of women don't like Tampons, but they would then need the MaxiPads or whatever. Which I suspect the guys whose balls shrivel at the thought of buying Tampons would have equal trouble publicly purchasing!

    Fro the sounds of it your guy is pretty secure, though--I doubt he would have a problem buying either.

    I think your GF is just being a biatch. I always buy my husband some stupid PS3 game he wants even though I freaking hate the thing. Him playing video games is pretty much the whole reason I found/use stripperweb cause we only have one dumb tv. haha

    My husband refuses to buy them. Also annoying.

    And I can't believe you don't know what a swiffer is. They have seriously been around for at least 10 years maybe longer. Actually probably longer..maybe 15. You won't break it either, it is electromagnetic or magic or something so the dust sticks to it.

    That handle looks like it would snap like a twig if you really scrubbed something with it. But that's just one picture, maybe they are tougher than they look.

    Nope, never seen or heard of a Swiffer lol! But I hate cleaning, and never ever watch TV so would miss the commercials, even if they've been on for a while.
