She's not the first to start some crap like this only to see it's not going her way and then claim it was all "in fun". She doesn't seem to understand people don't like being generalized catagorized and will take offense to such a thing.
Even if she's not learned not all men are the same she's learned to be more careful with what she posts here. | |

Posted: 1/10/2007 4:45:31 PM | So much for presenting your best side.
I think anyone (man or woman) who would be so clueless as to actually invite someone to their house and see it in this condition is fence post stupid. Turn around and go home immediately. This man or woman has no respect for you, never mind themselves.
Shake the errr... dust... and move on. | |

Posted: 1/10/2007 4:57:27 PM | It sounds like you have met some nice guys... if you made it to a third date or beyond.. and you should could yourself lucky. I know people that start off their story the same way that you do but in their cases, the guys disappear off the face of the earth. That being said, I think that you may be a tad bit over dramatic when you say that a messy place means the relationship is going noweher.
I believe that men should pick up after themselves and a bicycle in the middle of the house is ridiculous but to state that a messy house screams "axe murderer or serial rapist", that's nuts.
It might mean that he's busy and that he doesn't spend alot of time in the house... it also takes the stress off of trying to run the perfect household.
If someone is obsessed with a clean house and keping everything in perfect order, than you feel like you have to walk on glass when you are at their place. It can also make you feel uncomfortable to have them to your place because of the judgement that they might be placing... much the same way that you are.
I guess what I am saying is, don't be so quick to judge. You may miss out on a great guy because of a silly difference. | |

And your obvious abject delight in telling her just how wrong you think she is, and what you expect to see her and others as well post here says exactly what about you, Mssr?
Is it a Moderator's position you're looking for, or would it be the PC Police? | |

I see another chick that doesn't get it either.
We make generalizations about chicks and get toasted for it. "Not all women are like that", "Why paint us all with the same brush?" and other stuff like that. Some bird comes on here, tries to say that all us men are the same and then we just have to sit and take it 'cause we're men? Not very damn likely, my dear.
Speaking of fence post stupid, my dear, a women who would leave at that immediate time upon arriving deserves to be single as long as there are men breathing... much like you do. God, I *hate* when women hold us to double standards. | |

Posted: 1/11/2007 2:27:23 AM | I have not been hiding out licking my wounds as some of you have suggested. I have not been checking the posts for a few days because I have been getting on with life. Happy to see some have missed my being around as an object for chastisement.
I stand by my position. A messy house is a sign of a sick mind. God did not create chaos. A little disorganization is nornal (even for me, if you can believe that), but living in filth and upheaval is a mental disorder or a character flaw. Whether it indicates someone is a procrastinator, is lazy, disrepects self or others, in a fog unaware of his or her surroundings, or possibly a hoarder? - all this is for the psychiatrist to figure out.
All I know is, I don't want to live the rest of my life with someone like PigPen in the Peanuts cartoon who eminates a cloud of dust wherever he goes. Sorry, left my dust pan at my mothers when I left home at age 17. | |

Posted: 1/11/2007 3:03:56 AM | Hi
I'm British Caribbean...and there are a lot of us guys out there and in our culture, we cook, clean and are totally self sufficient in all those avenues of being house proud. We aspire always, for better. Our home environment reflects who we are and our personality. We are clean and tidy men...
Often we find your claims to be the other way round but know not all women are that way. That's one of the topics me and my pals find always cropping up when go on dates and it's gone on to the stage of homely invitations...
I have to say though that...people can change, sometimes the inspiration of someone else can be a catalyst for another improving their ways. while you may gasp at untidy men, he could be the best thing for you soul to soul, try to get past that and look at everything in balance then make your decision as you must remember, guys judge you as well and it could be something minor to you that you may wish for him to look beyond.
But like most of these postings, you'll damage your well presented status by making generalised comments about men like that...Be careful-think before you speak, its not women vs man, its women and man working together in harmony constantly exploring to find the balance, but also remember, there are qualities a women brings into a mans life that gives him that reason to conquer the world and be all he can be...(for her), we don't function without-yes we will always need your love...Lol!!
The changes we've made over the years as older/mature individuals and keep making in order to achieve our state of happiness should tell us they are in others as well...

Well Ma'am when someone posts something just plain STUPID here it's bound to attract those who don't agree---like me for example. I don't necessarily take delight in chatizing her specifically but I won't shy from replying in like kind. Just as the OP took delight bashing men in general for her limited experiences with messy men I didn't have a problem expressing my own feelings. I don't speak for all men just as she can't either--but that didn't stop her, did it? Reading her post you can detect the smallest bit of smugness and arrogance that she knew it all about men. Those who disagreed in whatever form simply followed OP's lead---expressing themselves.
What is says about us and even her is we're prone to self-expression and don't consider what reaction it might create. I'll admit I enjoyed those who opposed her simply because it shows me I wasn't alone in thinking she was nuts-----or at least a bit extreme. She's welcome to behave or act as she damn well prefers----I reserve that same right for myself in exchange.
I'm not seeking a Moderator postion nor a PC Police job either----I'll just seek to change the system from within!! LOL | |

Posted: 1/11/2007 4:00:29 AM | OK, men have a penis and a brain. But only enough blood to run one at a time. Since you already know where the blood is most of the time, there isn't much left over for the part of the brain that says "clean the house". On those rare occasions some blood actually reaches the brain, it usually goes to the parts that say "food", "scratch balls", "take a dump", "turn on TV". These periods of brain activity usually only last around 10 seconds, tops. Then the blood races back to the penis. Cleaning the house just isn't something we want to deprive our penis of precious blood flow over.
Hope that helps clear things up a bit.
Peace | |

How dare you generalize. I know some men whose blood does not flow to either place. | |

Hmmm.....wonder why she's single?  | |

Posted: 1/11/2007 6:03:20 AM | .
Being the oldest son of a family of nine children , I can say that I’ve changed a few diapers a few hundred times and cleaned a few rooms from time to time. Did quiet a few hours of ironing, too. And, okay, I don’t like that child stuff anymore, but can still do it in a pinch, when necessary.
As a single man, living alone, I can say that my home is mostly clean. Mostly. Not completely, though.
Let’s just say that if someone “special” was coning over, I might fix a few things. But, when my gal-friends come . . . . well, they know I’m half blind and do not have a house-keeper, as they do. Nonetheless, my mother taught me well and my place is always mostly clean.
When I cook, I clean as I go. So, when I’m done, everything in the kitchen is clean, except for the dishes we are using. That bothers some women, sometimes, but I don’t care.
Fact is, I no longer have to care about what anyone thinks! Being a single retired man, I get to do anything in life as I wish. And so, if I do not clean my place quite to someone’s standards . . . well, that’s the way it goes. I try. But, you know. . . .
Are far as the “men are” comments go, I know many single men who keep their homes much neater than some single women I know. Indeed! But, perhaps I know a lot more single women then men.

By the very fact that you started the original post with "MEN ARE MESSES" you generalized at the very start of this. Left the whole post open for defensive (and sometimes offensive) remarks from all who read it.
I'll agree that I've seen the inside of some places that make me shake my head in wonderment at the filth.........but I certainly wouldn't think the person was an axe murderer (male OR FEMALE) simply by how they kept the condition of the place they live in. Personally, I like having a clean house; I also like to live and refuse to pass up on spending time with friends simply because I feel the need to scrub my floors or dust the heaters, or wash the windows. When planning for company to come over, I tend to make sure that things are picked up, put away, etc; but let's face it, if you're coming to my house then you're coming to visit ME, not do a close quarters inspection with a white glove. My days of that are over, thankfully. There's reasons to all things; and from your description I would say that yep, his house was one hell of a mess. But that's HIS HOUSE, not yours and in his defence he has every right to live as he chooses; he pays the rent/mortgage, not you. I've personally walked into some of the worst filth that you could imagine in a house, and I'm embarassed to say that they've been houses in which a FEMALE lived. Since they were close friends, I chose to ignore the condition of their place on that particular day and had my visit with them and got over it. I've noticed recently that the homes I've visited in which a man lived by himself are generally a hell of a lot cleaner than the homes of many females I know, so I don't believe that painting all men (or all women for that matter) with the same dirty paintbrush is anything even remotely close to being fair.
If it truly bothers you that much, then get off your high broom and lend it to him to use......but only if he asks you for it. Otherwise, just get over it and get on. | |

ummmmmm.........maybe the cloud of dust that is created from when he uses the high powered broom would transport her home? Not sure............just one possible suggestion. LOL | |

Posted: 1/11/2007 2:54:33 PM | | I live in home not a museum. I havn't got special shoes that enable me to avoid touching the floor (hoverboots).If I want to go dancing until 2 am then I can and do hang myclothes up on the floor.If washing up is a chore after work all day then I can forget it. However what is better ? To walk into my everyday house or for me to complete the illusion by doing it all up and pretending it is like it everyday /all time. | |

You are right, the kitchen is more practicle. What happened to the garage or porch for storing things.
*Was* there a garage or porch? I have mostly lived in apartments and have always had bicycles. Keeping bikes outside or in common areas is a good way to get them trashed, stolen, or corroded. If the bike used regularly, like for commuting, the living room is a reasonable place to put it. | |

Posted: 1/13/2007 5:32:13 PM | | Could I just point out that axe murders are somehow old fashined. Chainsaws are far better at spreading blood and guts. Nursie nurse if in her uniform can spend days cleaning up after us.With chainsaws it can be weeks. Instead of blaming us men for untidy homes , better if you arrived suitably dressed to help out. | |
