this was a topic on another forum I am on. We all had the same take on it. My house if full of race car parts and if she doesn't like grease stained jeans and hands then she ain't my type. But I though the article was kinda funny. Look where they are trying to send men. Metrosexual man strikes again.

Yes to the lamp. Not that I NEED one, but I do notice that most men don't have one.
Yes to the high thread count sheets. Anything 400 and up is spectacular! Yes to cooking, but not a must. If you can't cook, but enjoy her cooking, that's almost just as good. The rest of it is horse shit. Swiffer? Please! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif) Jen |

Somehow I get the impression this article is written for someone who lives in a New York or San Francisco apartment. They are probably between 20 and 35 years old and into the "scene." The whole thing about the expensive clothes probably just makes you fit in to the scene and the swiffer thing makes sense only if you have hard wood floors, something more commonly found in old buildings in places like big cities....
I'm willing to be this list is worthless to 80% of single guys in the US. I just can't picture a guy in a non-liberal locale being taken seriously if they have a stainless steel coffee maker and $250 tight jeans. -Tony |

You don't need all that "stuff". Just always be kind and don't rebuild alternators on the kitchen counter.

Stay single....Do what you want, and don't worry about any of that crap. If you want someone to cook and clean for you hire a housekeeper. Way cheaper than a wife.
I'm serious, as I married at a young age, made the same mistake at 40, divorced in 1991, and have never been happier. I do what I want, when I want, and have all the xxx I can handle. There are no advantages in being married IMHO. |

Looks like I have to loose the cartoon sheets and matching underwear.
Got the lamp....how else do you read Playboy at night? Jeans...$16 at Costco...they cover my ass. The rest is crap. |

Are you gay? geez!
If you do all the crap on that list you'll never get a woman! She will either think your gay or you are too close to your mother. Plus, she will be bored because there is nothing to change... Be honest, kind and try being a runner, loose some weight, shower often, buy a new toothbrush, dont be a drunk and dont be gay. What women really want is a man. Not a fag with decorating talent. Follow that advise and the women will find you. |

A 10$ coffee pot works for me.
I don't have lamps,too much trouble to turn on. Have never used a swiffer,a handy broom does the job. I do like a comfy couch to lounge on,mine was $100. As long as the underwear is clean,wear what you want. Don't have to have a key ring that can do everything,I have one of those tools in my purse. As long as the jeans look good,doesn't matter how much they were.I see guys in $15 jeans,and they look great! As long as the shoes go with the outfit,good deal. As long as the sheets are clean,i'm not thinking about the sheets. There are a lot more things that are sexier than a man cooking! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) |

That's unfair to say! It dishonors the memory of the guys that were berated to death, by their wives! Poor fools! Uhoh... here comes a woman to change us! RUN! M |

Check. Swiffer. Check. Comfy couch. Black leather. Check. =-) Hey it was cheap! White leather love seat from craigslist. cheap. Nice underwear. Subjective, but check. High count cotton sheets. Check. I like 'em too! All purpose knife. Check. Nice jeans. See first line. =-) They have decent jeans there too. $200 dress shoes. Oh hell no. I did $170 one time and they held up very well. and Joy of cooking. Check. Excellent cooking skills intact. Wanna' BBQ? BYOB. |
