Someone recently asked me if I needed help in the kitchen while I was cooking dinner. I suggested cleaning off the dishes. I have a dishwasher. This does not mean washing the dishes - just cleaning them off. Their answer was, "Naw. I'd prefer not to." They think that doing dishes is a women's job. I think this is a bad sign. If you were in a relationship, would you help with the dishes? Do you think it's the woman's job? Honest answer please.

Of course I'd help with the dishes. And no- it's not a "woman's job". Whoever said that is a boob.

I do the dishes all the time, or they don't get done. And I do them the old fashoned way. I would help for certain, until I busted enough that she would not let me help anymore

Did you reply "Then why the f*@K did you ask me, you twit?" It seems like the only appropriate thing to say at a moment like that.

If I was dating a lady and she asked me yes I would help. The last time I knew it takes two to make a relationship work

It's traditionally the womens job, but alot has changed since the 30s, so...

Are you men being honest? I know that there must be some men that believe it's a woman's job. I feel that being in a relationship is about teamwork, btw.
