that's not what the article says lol.
If I got a wife that works 40 hours a week yeah she probably isn't gonna want to come home and cook dinner, clean up the house, wash dishes, fold clothes, clean the bathroom, etc every damn day. that's pretty much common ****ing sense. If she does do it, guess what, she's probably not gonna be putting out because she's ****ing tired lol. ****, I do that and I'M tired lol.
I think you trying to frame the arguement as cleaning up= BETA male is dead wrong
I also think the Time article trying to say that a man who cleans up should be rewarded with sex = dead wrong
if you split child rearing/caring responsibilities, split bills, both work full time, i dont' think it's that much to ask to split household responsibility as well. But you shouldnt do it because you want "sex" you should do it becuase that's now normal well adjusted adults act in a normal well adjusted relationship
my wife and i have a unique / odd situation / understanding in this regard. she doesn't work. As far as our holdhouse chores are broken down I let her handle 2 things
1. cooking. she cooks.. probably 90% of the meals. I might cook once every 2 weeks when i feel like to or she's dead tired or gone or when i feel like grilling
2. child caring. Getting our son up on the morning, to school, from school, homework, feeding him, getting him to bed, making sure he isn't burning down the house and **** lol, that's 100% on her. i'm too busy in the day time and doing such cuts out of my bottom line. with that said when my son wants me im' there. the few times she goes out of town without me which is not often but it happens i do this as well.
everything else, cleaning up, folding clothes, watching dishes, mowing the yard, taking out the trash, I do all this myself. Not because she won't.. actually i somewhat enjoy cleaning up and don't mind doing it, plus i'm 10x cleaner than she'll ever be. If she cleaned up i'd just go behind her and do it again anyway lol so I just do it myself. i mop everyday. I scrub the cabinets with bleach + laundry detergent (gives it that clean hospital smell) daily. I wash dishes as soon as they are used.. though that's one thing i will get on her don't leave dirty ass dishes in the sink i can't stand that. but after she cooks i'll wash dishes.
my wife likes to have sex. alot. a LOT lol. pretty much whenever i want it it's whatever let's go. But part of that is, she's never really tired. I work, i work out, i play with our son, i clean up the house, about half the time if not a little more than that she wants it i'm like babe i need a raincheck i'm out of it. Even then...lol.. use your imagination lol. But my point being i can see what the article is trying to say. A woman who is not as tired is gonna be more likely to want sexy time tha na woman who is beat the **** down all the time and that's 100% true from mye xperience.
the days that she does have to handle a load, like the days that andre is over here my little brother from big brothers and big sisters or we have a party and she has to help me clean up or she has whatever to do and she's beat she is exhausted and goes dead to sleep
