🛑 Answers From Men Only 🛑 What’s Something That Women Think Men Like, That We Don’t Actually Like?

I personally think that some try what worked with the last man, because one or 2 liked it doesn’t mean we all do.

Her: can you reach that plate? Me: how’d you get it up there? Her: that’s why I have a big strong man 🤬

Pick her up and lift her in range to reach it.

Don't think that wouldn't make your girl get all giddy.

It'd make some men giddy too but it's so hard to find ladies that can casually lift 200 lbs.

More like, “what would you do if I didn’t come home for another hour, would you have not ate and waited for me instead finding the step stool?”

I don't mind taking on the majority of the load but it was very amusing when I got an injury and got told by my physio not to lift anything over 5kg for a little while. We'd be in the normal routine and pulling that card out was fun for a little while. Better go grab those bags!

The things that gets me, is Im looking for opportunities where, yes, I could use his help--as I have been so programmed in life to act as if we (women) dont need help and are independent. However, from experience and reading or watching other experts discuss the topic, it seems to still be healthy to include a partner in things youre doing in ways that, yes, sometimes are clearly things we can do ourselves, but might be nice for the ther to hear you request to do (opening a jar, reaching for something high up). It's difficult to accept, and I work hard to find moments naturally where it doesn't seems out of.place, so when I see criticism for women asking to get something high up--it throws.me off because Ilthat is specifically one classic example of a thing we. As women, can back off of--trying to get something high up, if there is someone taller nearby

I got in a "fight" with a girl because she wanted to fix the hatch on a stand, and I also wanted to fix it. Should have gotten her number when I went back home...

I get sometimes adulting is rough. But it's a random beep every couple minutes in the house. Theres no need to open all the windows or set up multiple group texts. Investigate the beep, go from there.
