Sorry. I think having the hubby do housework for me is VERY VERY romantic. Especially if I am eating bak kwa and watching TV at the same time. I wld recommend this to all men. Don't bother with the diamond ring.Originally posted by the Bear:i think doing housework together with partner is kinda... romantic

MmmMMmmmm....
HoHo.. ok la.. u know how it is with resumes... u just need to EXPAND on whatever good points u haveOriginally posted by the Bear:how about just the dishes and ironing?
those, i'm very good at...
cleaning the house, can.. but i really hate doing it
Marbles works too. Especially in the form of accommodation and furnishing. .....Originally posted by the Bear:well, chores for me have never been a problem.. can easily do all of them.. just that some are more enjoyable than others... and some are... a chore
hmmm.. marketing concepts.. i can cook too!
btw, why is there a fascination with diamonds?
they've caused so much bloodshed and atrocities, i could never ever buy them.. i think sapphires (both white and blue), rubies and emeralds are much prettier

but.. thing is... that's you... if the dude does the chores all the time, it ceases to become special...
people remember what stands out, no matter good or bad...

Useful marketing concepts for flirts
June 29, 2006
1. You say to a gorgeous girl at a party: 'I'm very rich. Marry me.'
That's direct marketing.
2. At a party, your friend goes up to a gorgeous girl, points at you and says: 'He's very rich. Marry him.'
That's advertising.
3. You get the phone number of a gorgeous girl. The next day, you call and say: 'I'm very rich. Marry me.' That's telemarketing.
4. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You walk up to her and pour her a drink. You open the door for her, pick up her bag when she drops it, offer her a ride, and then say: 'By the way, I'm very rich. Will you marry me?'
That's public relations.
5. A gorgeous girl at a party walks up to you and asks: 'Are you very rich?' That's brand recognition.
6. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You say: 'I'm rich. Marry me!' She gives you a hard slap.
That's customer feedback.
7. You say to a gorgeous girl at a party: 'I'm very rich. Marry me.' She introduces you to her husband. That's demand-and-supply gap.
8. You say to a gorgeous girl at a party: 'I am very rich. Marry me.' She turns to face you - she's your wife!
That's competition eating into your market share.

My husband believes in equalityOriginally posted by ShrodingersCat:Entirely agree. Which is why I don't do the housework all the time. And the sporadic times I do it, I make sure I point to specific areas done for appropriate appreciation and praise
But then again that's me, i have high mess/dirt tolerance. So it really doesn't matter to me if BOTH of us don't do it ALL the time
I mean housework lah.
Learnt tt from my cat. See.. don't always catch cockroaches. But when you do, make sure you leave them where the owner can see them!!! I don't believe in the type of silent self suffering behaviour in a relationship where u labor silently in the hope of appreciation from ur partner. That belongs to as bad a category as .... girls who expect good surprises from men when they refuse to tell the men what they want as pressies then get terribly disappointed when they get.. uhh.... an indian pot or something.
I think sometimes its not abt equality but visible effort. Its like if one party loses the job, then the other party would be prepared to shoulder the burden - BUT when both parties are working, then both shd contribute. Same thing with housework ba... if one party is busy with lots of OT, then well, the other party either does what's required or diamdiam.Originally posted by elindra:My husband believes in equality
Housework have to be equally shared (Actually not so )
Both have to work and household expenses are equally shared (He pays for more still)
Yes, I have high mess/dirt tolerance, well at least higher than him and I do make sure I get appreciation and praise when I do something
I always think the 'maiden in distress' method works well.
Kan_i's wife 'maiden in distress' method seems to be working very well leh. Mine fails sometimes when he is tired but it works still.Originally posted by ShrodingersCat:I think sometimes its not abt equality but visible effort.

Sigh.. my maiden in distress method doesn't take in the husband anymore.
Now I just rely on good faith
