I just want to point out that the 'men are lazy pigs' subtext you are apparently reading off of my OP is not intended. It's only my general experience and what I could offer from my own view point. I was kind of expecting that backlash though, because I can't really offer much from a man's point of view.

I also did mention that I am aware it can be reversed and I know many guys who tell me they are the fastidious neat one.

Hell, I'm very messy myself. I like clean and tidy, but I'm not the best at enforcing it. To give you a little insight, my ex used to complain that I wouldn't vacuum often enough since he liked to walk around the house barefoot and hated getting dust on his feet. Sometimes he'd pick up the vaccum in a fury and huff around the house doing it. My bad.

I posted this topic mainly because a lot of girls I know complain about their guys not helping. There really is no subtext, just my experience. I hope more of you will post, I am curious to hear more on how people resolve little issues like this.

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.

Fernando Pessoa, 1918
