Absolutely! I'll happily let any guy come over and clean my house for me now in exchange for a free dinner!
... okay pizza. I'll buy him pizza; that counts right? Haha.
I think I speak for most intelligent women when I say everyone appreciates a guy that puts genuine effort in and helps around the house: be it cooking, cleaning, washing, making groceries. It's called making an effort.
If he does things around the house, I'll chip in as well- that's how a balanced relationship works.
Do women appreciate a man who will do chores around the house?

Must admit in our relationship , I'm the one doing garden and the phycical hard jobs the Messi stuf the dirty job , digging garden take away big trees and such things, while inside in the first to lie on the sofa demanding him to bring me a drink or make me coffe, he take the small car and take the girls to school and bring them home , and come and wake me up with a hot cup of coffee and a kiss, rub my legs and toes , feed the dogs and wash clothes and get my training clothes ready , pack the girls schoolbag make sure they have school food ready , and together we arrange the supper, or he make it and I pick the wine after we talked about it a while we are very into wine tasting bouth of us, but usally I have the final word and I'm the one who usually insist on us buying expensive wine to keep and drink in the right way. As ofcauce I'm the one who cares about our main car a BMW X5 , and me who drier it all the time, when we go out together I always drive, well he drive home as I usally tell him to so I can have a glass or ten. But I don't mind men doings homework , but just to be with me, he love my present , and love me on the sofa watching him, and usally I don't need to shout for s kiss , he cone often to have a hug, band give me s glass of wine more, sometimes I help taking of the tabel , but usally our girls help him, so I can have a run in the Forrest after supper
I heard of a study that found women viewed housework-doing boyfriends as less sexually attractive. But then again, you can "prove" anything if you design an outlier study in just the right way, so I'd need more compelling evidence to really believe it. I think women tend to find self-reliance in a man to be attractive. So if he can keep his own home in working order, without needing a woman there to make things halfway presentable, then it can only say good things about his character. I can, however, imagine a guy doing household chores in the hopes of "earning" sex, which is a weak frame to come from, so the woman could lose attraction-- NOT because he's doing housework, but because he's the kind of weak-minded man who equates "keeping his woman happy" with "being rewarded like a good lapdog".
I also imagine there's a balance to strike, in dividing up chores without making them the main focus of conversation. Even after the "honeymoon phase" is over, couples should ALWAYS be "lovers" first, and "cohabitants" second. If the humdrum of daily routine is dampening their passions, then they should break the routine of constantly bickering over "who washes the dishes this time", and reconnect as lovers, even if it means temporarily living apart and "dating" like they just met for a period of time.
Ofc they do. That shows charachter.
Well maybe not if they're having OCD-levels of control-issues where everything must be in it's right place.
Or if they LIKE doing it. Yes, it's possible. Could be meditative or calming to some.
But generally I think if a person wants to show they're committed to being a team then lightening the load is a good first step.
Besides, if let say you come home from work before your SO and you have some time before they arrive. Do some chores.
When they come home there's more time for everyone to get chill and comfy. Maybe you even can get it on if time is right.
Lastly, if you start. Don't stop. Never stop trying to impress your partner.

Of course. He's a keeper.
But just to be clear, not because he's "helping" us, but because he's an adult human and he understands it's a necessary part of life. Everyone's life.I'm sure as much as men appreciate women who do chores around the house...
Seriously tho, who does the chores for a single man 🤔 why if someone is no longer single do they think that means they no longer should have any household responsibilities...No I have terrible OCD so if anyone else cleans in my house I get really bad anxiety until I can clean it my way. My husband has tried to a few times and I bit his head off about it so now he knows better
Yes I love when my boyfriend helps around the house I actually find it a turn on for me. I like a man that doesn't just sit back on his backside and expect his lady to do all of the house work because let's face it he is a grown man and I'm not gonna be kinda a mother to him rather than a girlfriend because that would just be weird and a turn off as a man should be able to be responsible and say sweetie I'll do the hovering and dusting etc
When a man does things like that you just know that he is gonna get some that night just sayingYessss. It's sexy as hell and shows he's not one of these men who think just because your a women in the relationship you have to be there personal slave and clean up after them. People who don't clean up after themselves drive me crazy so i really appreciate when my boyfriend does and actually wants to help around to make my life easier and it shows me he's independent and has been raised properly to look after himself.
My boyfriend loves to cook and it's a real turn on for me for some reason when he takes control of the house chores just wish he'd do it in his boxers more often 😂I guess? I don't like men who don't do any chores because that's avoiding part of their responsibility as inhabitant of a house, and forcing other people to take those responsibilities. So I like men who do their chores, but I wouldn't feel comfortable with a man doing everything and taking what should be my responsibility as his.
Therefore I like a man who's self-responsible enaugh to do chores, but self-respectful and smart enaugh not too take more responsibilities than he should. To put it another words, a man who would be more prone to say "We should clean the house" than "You should clean the house" or "I should clean the house".Maybe they do but I rarely do anything in a relationship. But I work more OT than many work on their 9-5 so ya... after 90 hours in a week Iām not coming home and doing dishes lmao
My last relationship I did heavy lifting, handyman stuff, kill the scorpion, and handled the āsituationsā like someone breaking our window out or handling the River that ran through our apartment once.Yes. I would love him more if he cares to do chores with me. I would normally cook. I wish him to wash at least his own dishes, and take care of other things around the house, just to keep it tidy and organized. Because I'll be annoyed if my man is lazy and expects me to clean up everything for him.

Plus, if he invites his friend to have a party at home, and treats me like a servant, it's over.For sure... I generally hate house chores. I love it because he actually enjoys it or got used to it... I always help especially when I stay with him for a long period of time (a week to 2 months - on vacation)... because its more fun doing it together. Make time to go out to play or do other things. We both appreciate how well we work together in taking care of all these. I would prefer having a maid after we move in together because my job is stressful and I would not care to keep up the house or cook after my work day (I become that man who comes home and want to do nothing... actually I bring work home) At that point, I won't be doing much housework, so I would want a maid to help out.
Although I haven't met a guy who doesn't do chores so wouldn't know what that's like nor do I want to find out since I am happy with mine and I am keeping him all to myself :PYou mean normal obvious surviving skills that everyone should have.
That's the only kind of guy I would ever marry, a requirement for me.
Not into being someones maid for 50 years, esp. if kids come into the picture. Hard Pass. But I also have pretty strong feminist values, on top of wanting someone who is an actual partner and not just a paycheck, guest, occupant of my future home. I love to cook and chores are essential, but the right match for me shares in those tasks. I had one guy make a comment that I would never bring my husband a bagel if he asked for it. Totally false, he was just butt hurt about an argument we had. We should serve and take care of each other in a partnership, not one waiting hand and foot on the other. It turns acts of care and love into resentment for me, wouldn't be a fun time for either of us.Id highly appreciate my partner helping out around the house. I dont think this should be a gender thing anymore. We're in 2020 after all. I don't mind cleaning or cooking but it shouldn't be all on the woman 24/7 like I'll feel very appreciative and thank him if i have a long day of work or something and i come home and he has dinner made and all i need to do is the dishes or sweep:) A relationship is teamwork after all not a gender ground thing.
Yes! Especially if he's willing to trade off every now and again for chore variation, lol!
It's a good sign since I live alone and men I'm interested in also live alone - if they don't do home chores, then their house would be unlivable.Oh yes. I don't want to be a mom to the one I'm with. We're both adults.
Absolutely! Tho it also depends on the person too some people obviously won't but I think most people regardless of gender really enjoy when their significant other help with household tasks and chores. It feels nice to have that kind of help and support without having to ask or nag.
I'm going to assume it's a yes. I talked with a woman. I said well if the man goes to work then he should be able to relax when he gets home of she is a homemaker. And she went, heck no! His a## better be helping with the kids when he gets home! It's his turn
Funny. Why make the world feminine centric? She going to change your car's spark plugs? Rotate the tires? Go outside at 3AM to check on strange noises? men are expected to do a lot of things. Interesting how the number of things women feel is their role has shrunk while the list they claim men should do increases. No thanks.
Yes, they do. In fact, that's one of the 5 love languages (acts of serivce) according to Gary Chapman Ph. D.
Women will think of it as a good thing at first. But over time, they will start judging you for it, like you're not a real man. Truth is that the patriarchy is ingrained in women from a young age, but for men everything is a choice. It's like two worlds: they live in a patriarchal world where the message of cooking for your big strong man, pleasing him, spending his ample money, and being dominated by him in bed are all desires that they have subconsciously accepted, but men live in a world where they have the freedom to believe anything, with no presumption or expectation. My advice to any guy who likes to help out around the house is that you should either do it rarely, or regularly do a particular chore that she doesn't like. Don't go 50/50, you'll get dumped.
Definitely lol. We should be sharing the housework.
