Women Find Men Who Do Housework Attractive

The Sexiest Man Alive is Apparently the One Who is Doing the Dishes

What does the average woman visualize when she thinks of the sexiest man alive? Brad Pitt? Tom Cruise? Antonio Banderas? Not really. What the average harried, overstressed woman really finds attractive is a man who will help her with the housework. This means that whether or not a man
 helps his significant other with the housework can impact his sex life. The truth is that we live in a different world now, one far removed from the conservative and very ideological 1950's era where the woman's place was considered to be in the home. The majority of women, and quite a few of them mothers, work outside the home to help support themselves and their families.

For many women household duties have changed from the 1950's norm due to better appliances and a society more catered to convenience as well as some help from the males in their lives. Relationship dynamics between men and women have also changed. I must give credit where credit is due and state that many men have changed and now help with the cooking, cleaning, and child rearing. This gives their wives and girlfriends much needed and deserved assistance. This promotes harmony in a relationship. Unfortunately in most cases this added assistance is either not enough to offset the increased working hours that many women have, or the assistance is entirely absent. This strains a relationship and at best can lead to discord and at worst can lead to separation or divorce.

Well, this chart thingy only works if your other half is ready to accept that dust, bits of food, beer bottles, dirty socks should not be dispersed all around the house. Some men are just incapable of seeing dirt. Generally speaking, men and women do not share the same values / do not have the same threshold with regards to cleanliness. Someone should work on that too.

I respectfully think Chris Johnson is delusional. He believes that a man can't be both confident, independent, and self reliant, and at the same time be more helpful and support to his companion. It is a skewed view of masculinity to think that men should be unemotional, and not observe his wife's or girlfriend's input. And to add insult to injury, he boosts that we men built civilization without women's help. How ignorant is that? I guess he forgot he was born through a woman. A man should help around the house not solely to achieve his wife's or girlfriend's "approval" but because it is the right thing to do. Besides, it's true that women do find men who does housework, and cook more attractive. Chris Johnson...Get A Life!!!

This article is certainly delusional. If it were remotely true that men doing more housework would increase the chances of sexual activity with their wives, then every man in America would be fighting his wife for a chance to wash the dishes. Ultimately women are attracted to men who exhibit confidence, independence and self-reliance. Men, who participate in activities to seek their wife's approval, do not show independence. They are showing dependence, and that will gain nothing more than a woman's contempt for that man. My advice to all women is stop trying to change men. At the end of the day the only person you have dominion over is yourself. If you can't do that then your best choice is to 1) stop demanding that he do it your way. 2) Let him develop his own way (after all, we did build civilization without any of your help, and if we can build civilization, we can certainly manage a household in our way without your nagging input).

This needs to go on bumper stickers and t-shirts, like those old "beer drinkers make better lovers". I love it!

Great article. I love to watch my man work outside. He doesn't do the dishes much but he will paint, repair and do maintenance type things.

I love seeing my man work. I think it's cool when he does the dishes...but I love to see him chopping wood or working on the car!
