Advice and Opinion Ask a Man

In what ways do you perceptibly or imperceptibly have stereotypical gender roles in practice in your relationship? Does what you DO match your thoughts, or do they differ?

I grew up learning that women are absolutely a gift to human kind. My grandmother told me that. "Without the gift of women, none of this would exist." She taught me the ways of the classic gentleman. Opening doors, standing up at the table, walking on the street side of the sidewalk. Carrying bags, and listening to understand. My crazy amounts of empathy come from her. She was old fashioned though. So to my surprise, my partner comes along and wants none of those things to be done. This was where I learned that gender roles are not static and that they can eventually just become the roles of the individual rather than the gender. As a man I cook, I clean, I launder etc...

My thoughts are if you're comfortable doing it, then do it. Roles be damned. Now I will say, I still open doors and walk on the street side of the sidewalk...even tho I don't feel the need to do it as a man, just as a partner.
 
What's your pet peeve or just something women do that you dislike?
Fart? I know everyone does it....it's a pet peeves of mine when guys do it too. Just kidding.

I don't really have any...each person is different...it's not a male vs female thing nor something I can say, females piss me off because they blah. If it is a pet peeves of mine I'll own it as mine, not the other person's.
 
Why aren't there as many questions asked on the 'Ask a woman' thread as get asked here? Do men have it all figured out? :p
In all honesty, I'm a huge introvert. I don't like people, hiding as an anonymous bubble as some guy means I feel slightly safe. I don't like asking questions to people....I am honest and will gladly answer them. But asking is not my thing. Most of the time I sit in the corner and observe rather than engage.
 
Do you believe in astrology?
Kind of? Idk...I feel like looking at horoscopes and thinking about myself in relation to where I am on the calendar is interesting. Being a Scorpio comes with a lot of baggage lol. l don't know if it was something I have always been, or if my behaviors were slowly molded by being told I am a Scorpio over time. I want to believe because it gives me something I could point to as a reason...but I also could just be a big ball of intense, emotional broodiness being bounced on a floor of overindulgence. *Shrugs*

We are completely old fashioned. Dont get me wrong, I do housework, she hates vacuuming. But as a rule, I do outside stuff, she does inside stuff. I work on the cars, she irons, I mow, she does laundry. Now before you start yelling, I help with laundry and I do not demand that she do it. She does most of the cooking but I do as well.
 
Have you tasted your own cum? Why and what did you think? I think it's more common for a female to do, although I really only do it as a turn on for someone else. A couple of my male friends said they did it purely out of curiosity.
To each their own, i dont know what would make me curious enough to try that. Bonus Answer - Not that you asked but I do think most guys at some point have tried to see if they can suck their own cock.

When I was younger I really disliked clingy women but the more I've matured I've realised that's the kind of woman I need and want. I crave love and affection more than anything these days.

Now I would probably say women who are lazy... Women who can't cook or clean I wouldn't go anywhere near no matter how hot or attractive she is. She's got to show some sort of responsibility. Btw that's not saying I'd be sitting on my ass all day doing nothing. I'm always going to cook food and help my future Mrs in the kitchen clean. My point is I hope to God I don't get into a relationship where she wants no responsibility. I've met women like that before.

I am stereotypically male, which to me requires that I do everything to take care of and protect the woman I'm with. Task-wise, that means I do virtually everything, from providing financially to servicing the car to washing the dishes, but I'm good with that.

Before this thread breaks.....
What is one unique or unusual trait/characteristic that you find attractive about women? Explain.

Well...boobs, duh! Seriously, I'm very attracted to femininity in the conventional sense. Women who primp and get mani-pedis and pluck their eyebrows. The downside of that is they're always late :mad:

Do you believe in astrology?

No. Although that may be what's plagued me in my relationships o_O
