| When she complained about the toilet seat, is it over ?. Posted: 7/6/2008 10:49:49 AM | LOL at toothpaste cover, i was gonig to say that too! hell i usually put it back down except for that rare middle of the night tinkle. if you cant get in the habit of putting it down just go outside and then you dont have to worry about a lid! my expierence is that if you always put the toothpaste cap back on and the toilet seat lid back down they will still find something to nitpick on.... | |

When the inevitable ****ing starts, It is definently the begining of the end. Ihave learned that now, so when the biatching starts, i get the heck out of dodge.  | |

| When she complained about the toilet seat, is it over ?. Posted: 7/6/2008 3:26:52 PM | | ....in a word....YEP, LOL. Do you fall in when you are going to use the rest room if she doesn't lift or lower? You use the facility when you need to with seat down right? Bet if the light wasn't on with her you wouldn't be falling in, but of course if you were the last one, oops! Interesting that men no longer want to open a door, pay for dates, etc., but who would of thought that the toilet seat is too much trouble. Sad state, & if you can't do at least that in a relationship in order for your loved one not to fall into a commode at night, possibly injuring themself, seems a single state is a good one for you. | |

"You must put the toilet seat down. Otherwise all your luck will escape down into the loo - this is obviously what has happened. Feng Shui revenge."
Actually Feng Shui says that the cover must be also down, not merely the seat. I know all that "jazz" from an former SO who was really into all that. Her Feng Shui obsession was one of the main reasons I did the Forrest thing, Run!!!
Now, closer to the core of the topic, home ec things are often IME a reason for a couple to grow apart. Because most women think that their "home ec" management theories or customs are the only way to Home Ec. They refuse, many times subconscioysly, to accept the notion that a man can have Home Ec view or philosophy that can conceivably be right! And such a mentality can really and does break couples apart in our modern era, when they start living together and these things become important. If not immediately, they sure do erode the rel. | |

It tells you a lot about how a man was raised if they haven't been taught this simple rule of respect for the women in their world. I suppose some men may have had this lesson but let it slide when they became bachelors. My advice would be to stay in the habit of putting the seat down even when you live alone, that way you won't be careless or sloopy when visiting a female friend or potential person of interest. Would you really want to date a woman who wouldn't be offended by your not observing such a basic courtesy - what would that tell you about who you are, or who she is for that matter? | |

However, if they always find it down they just find something else to argue about. So, I think in order to keep things in balance it is best for men to leave it up. That way they don't notice your dirty socks and underwear on the floor. | |

| When she complained about the toilet seat, is it over ?. Posted: 7/6/2008 6:50:07 PM | | Haha, when I look back on my relationships, I can point to a certain argument that was the beginning of the end. At the time I never realize it, but looking back I recognize exactly the point in which things turn. It's usually been when I've been very frank about a topic or stood my ground firmly about something. I think they then realize I'm not going to "go along with things". They usually mentally shut me out, or start holding back sex. Their whole demeanor changes. We might even stay in the relationship for months, but I can usually point to the incident in which things turn. Lately I've gone ahead and ended it when I notice a change. | |

I've always been fascinated by this complaint. Do women not LOOK before they sit? If not, WHY not? I find that just SOOOoooooo bizarre.
WHY not? The majority of butt plunges happen in the middle of the night pees. We're half-asleep, the "need" is urgent, lighting may be poor and I, for one, don't put my eyeglasses on. At this time the white toilet seat looks much the same as the white toilet rim. I cannot believe that some men are suggesting we put our hand down "to feel" whether the seat is down. Ewwwwwww.
I would NEVER advance a relationship with a man who refused or constantly forgot this simple gesture of consideration. I would assume, rightly, that inconsideration is part of his character.
Ladies, on this thread, take note of who begrudges and cross em off your list. Begrudging gentlemen, may I suggest that you go directly to the toilet, lift the lid up and dunk your a$$ to get a feel for what it's like. Hope that ends the fascination. | |

HowEva... do you extend the same courtesy when you are in a man's home? When I'm in a woman's home or a place where there are more women, I DO put the seat back down. I've only met ONE woman who had the courtesy to put the seat back up after she used it while in MY home. Brava!!!
