Ever feel like...

[lunalinda]

Hmm actually, now that I think of it, I don't think I ever tell myself that I need a man to help me with practical things. Probably because I get too used to not having one, that I just take matters into my own hands. Even at work I do this. I'm not petite or small, but I AM a short girl (according to males, anyway), so apparently, my femininity should act as a hindrance from doing manly things. But I shock all the guys when I still lift and do things myself. But yeah, sure, I guess it's still nice to have a man around. If not to do "man" tasks himself, then to at least "bug" me about not doing those "man" tasks properly. Yes, I would actually be willing to accept a "check your oil in the car more often!" type of guy; I really would! I mean, at least for awhile.

Women are naturally better at certain things. Same goes for men. It's just the way God made us.

It might help if you named some of these things.

...you need someone of the opposite sex just to be there to do practical things for you? I get SO upset when the computer refuses to work and I can't fix it or cannot open cans and whatnot. Really, I'm not really into dating anyone now, really, but sometimes I'm very conscious of the fact I'm a girl and I need a guy to do stuff for me I wonder if guys get those feelings when they burn their shirts ironing them or overcook their pasta?

Yeah, I do, so I get my brother to help me, lol. I'm not into dating at all, either - I just hope that when I leave home this year one of my flatmates/neighbours will be a guy who can lift heavy things and help me fix my car!

I can truly ruin food. And none of my clocks work so I'm late for things. Washing machines scare me, as do the mysteries of ironing. But I can lift big things, open jars, fix things (cept my clocks coz I can't be bothered) sort cars out and I understand computers.

Stereotypes allows us to feel needed at times. We may be able to do most of everyday things but do we have to. The idea that someone else would love to do these thing for us, is an example of "Sharing in the True sense of Giving."

When these stereotype task are done in the function of Loving that other person, they seam not to be stereotypes but little thing that we do to show our love and support for each other in every day life.

And even though I can cook for myself, I still prefer someone else cooking to mine. When the lady does the cooking she show that she cares for me a little and when I enjoy the meal and her comment on the meal, then I clean the table for her and take out the trash that shows that I care for her. These are simple tasks but they say volumes.

But never "take their performance of these tasks for granted" or you may lose more than just a these tasks not being done for you, you may lose being loved by this person.

Yah I know what you mean! I just got back from Target and I bought a nightstand. Well, it's really heavy...I almost hurt my back trying to get it up the stairs to my apt. ! Those are times I do wish I had a guy around or a guy friend that lives closer to me. It's also hard not having a boyfriend (although i know that's not really the topic of your thread) when you go to the store and all the families are shopping and couples and there you are by yourself. Sometimes I get these looks like "oh, single people shop for groceries too?" lol.

Ikea is the heaven of couple-shopping. Really.

If I have ever, ever gone back to college, I would teach the first "Attitude Adjustment" course of its kind as there aren't any out there. Well...not just yet! Because most people do need one. Plus it would help me as well.

 

[Sketcher]

Maybe to get some stains out or patch a hole, but that's it.

I LOVE Ikea! But I think they have a rule that couples must bring all their own kids, and some of the neighbors'.

 

[Silver Speak]

I LOVE Ikea!

Wow. I remember once going there with my youth pastor and his wife. It went pretty much like this:

She: "Oh this is cute! We should get this!"
He: "For what???"

She: "Oh, I like this"
He: *rolls eyes*

And we went on like this until she decided it's better for him to keep himself occupied with something else while we're walking around. In all fairness, we had to make a stop in Biltema (manly stuff, electronics etc.) on the way back.

I live with my parents, so I have my father to do all the guy things for me (even though he thinks I can do them).
Really I want a man just to treat me like a lady, like a princess. Open the door, pick up all the heavy things, take out the trash, do all things not meant to a lady to do.
My father does not really seem to understand the term lady, I suppose. O well. I just want some man to treat me for who I am.





IN HIM

 

[Jesusfan4ever]

Yes, when it comes to fixing the computer

Same here. My father does guy things to. But sometimes, when he wants to record a program, I record things for him. It is so hard to find men who treat women like princesses. Don't get me wrong..I am not a sexest or whatever it's called for a woman. I only trust my dad, brother, as well as brother in law.

 

[Silver Speak]

I don't really want the guy to treat me like a lady. I mean, I do love it when guys are polite but sometimes it's too much attention and it's just.. disturbing! Maybe it's just me. Yeah, probably.

I was hoping that Ikea would be place to find some good dates. Ikea will be openning a store not to far from where I live.

Yeah, I'm probably the only straight man I know who likes shopping there. I'm also the only guy I know who likes to cook, and puts the toilet seat down!

 

[Matt.9:22]

I have guy friends to fix stuff like that. That's not what really frustrates me about be single. I can usually find a guy to help me with whatever needs opening, fixing, moving, so on and so forth.

 

[Silver Speak]

Good job!

What, you think you're the only guy who puts the toilet seat d--
...
Er, I think I hear the faucet running in the bathroom. ~runs off~
