That might be,, A big bonfire,, under the star lite night,, moon shining,, sharing a dish of strawberries ( without hands) .. some wine,, your choice,, I like my Buds,, I'm sorry I forgot to mention,, we are sharing one lawn chair,, we are facing each other,, the fiery coals snap and pop,, as we talk and laugh of the day,, we hint about things to come,, awww so we spill the strawberries,, no biggie,, the white tee shirt I wore,, in the fire it goes,, as for you,, I'll clean it,, only because you did the dishes,,
Why can't all dinners be like this,, but they can be,, Summer is here,, cool.... | |

I've noticed that older women always insist on cleaning up my kitchen and with younger women, it doesn't even cross their minds!
That's too funny,, but it's true,, not that I have that experienced that in the kitchen, nor will I, all I have to to is talk to those younger woman (some not all) (I had to same my butt)....,, and you know,, it;s all about them,, That is why I love woman my age,, maturity goes a long way... | |

That is a horrible generalization. Just like everything else, this depends on the woman. At the ripe old age of 20, I'm willing to do everything for the man I'm with as long as he's willing to help out if I need him to. And yes, that does mean I cook AND clean, do laundry, clean house, get ur beer, "take care of you", and still hold down a full time job. BTW I've also done all of this through nine months of pregnancy. So maybe u should get to know some deeper women honey. | |

| Dinner and Dishes? Posted: 5/13/2008 4:11:03 PM | | If I invited a woman over for a dinner that I was cooking, I would never in a million years ask her to help clean up or do the dishes. That's just absurd to me. I might let her help if she offered, but if I'm the host then I feel that cleanup is just part of the job. | |

Isn't that most important part,, to offer to help,, man or woman...It seems so many men and woman for get how simple it is to offer a hand as a gesture,, This goes well beyond the kitchen,, | |

| Dinner and Dishes? Posted: 5/13/2008 5:27:14 PM | Hmmm, I just feel the need to mention this great little moderm invention called the dishwaher - which means it takes about 1 minute to load it up and TADA job done, no need to do the dishes so it's into the lounge for a bit of finger fumbling - weheyyy!!  | |

| Dinner and Dishes? Posted: 5/13/2008 6:06:19 PM | wigglesticks,, another invention they made are toys for women,, just to avoid finger fumbling,,

| Dinner and Dishes? Posted: 5/13/2008 7:06:59 PM | Would never leave it for the person I cooked for, although if they offered to help I might take them up on it.
That being said, depends whats happening after dinner... ... some of them might not get cleaned up until morning... they need to, uh, soak for a while.  | |
|
| Dinner and Dishes? Posted: 5/13/2008 7:19:55 PM | | ...just second nature to clean up after myself, so I'd send her off to the settee to get pleasantly bombed on my Jose Cuervo Black 18-year-old tequila anejo. Foreplay in a bottle... | |
|
| Dinner and Dishes? Posted: 5/13/2008 8:56:18 PM | Well....being that most women my age have some 'chitlins' that they're still raising....I do the SENSIBLE thing...
I teach them what 'CHORES' really are and make THEM do the dishes.......  | |

| Dinner and Dishes? Posted: 5/14/2008 9:51:32 AM | I once had a gf with a bumper sticker that said " My favorite fantasy: Two men, One cooking, One cleaning". But she was a very good cook, and it was hard to elbow my way into her kitchen to help.
Like RCD, a date is about being together, sharing. At her house, I'll usually just start in doing the dishes, while she's putting away the leftovers, re-corking the wine (if there's any left). That way we're done quickly and can settle into the evening. I find most women are really impressed when a man just steps up and starts doing what needs to be done. | |
