Reddit striking a blow for understandning the opposite sex

I am cruising through my RSS feeds when this thread appears (What's the most 'bachelor' thing you do regularly?). I happen to come across a particularly interesting post from a female. Here are the highlights:

This was about half way down:

"I wish all girlfriends would read this thread like they read idiot relationship books/magazines/articles. I am a female and have had to explain this male level of content and happiness with the bare minimum that it takes to survive to each of my girlfriends. Seriously. Every time they ***** about how enraged they are that their boyfriends don't care/understand/appreciate all the s*** they do for them, I have to roll this same boilerplate conversation out: they don't "appreciate" it because they were fine without the scented candles, clean clothes and organic food before. Sure, they're happy to partake if it's laid in front of them - but they are just as happy to survive on far, far less without all the loaded emotional exchange and female f**kery that it takes to enjoy anything more.

This isn't really a rant, just more of a humorous observation from a female perspective."



Here are some examples:

"I haven't used a shelf in my fridge for 8 months because there is spilled chinese take out sauce on it.
Don't put a cardboard beer or soda case in there-that s*** will never leave."

"Yesterday's fast food bag?
Today's miniature trash bag."

"I eat the majority of meals out of a frisbee covered with aluminum foil."

"I usually eat a box of macaroni for lunch and a frozen pizza for dinner. Every day. I eat the macaroni out of the pan with the large wooden spoon used to stir the ingredients. I cook my pizza on a pizzaz (never been washed) and put the cooked pizza on the flattened cardboard box. I drink my milk and juice out of the cartons. The only dishes I almost ever have to wash are just the pot and spoon for the macaroni."

"Walk in the door pants immediately come off."

"I drink fine aged scotch whiskey in my robe while I peruse my copy of Proust's À la recherche du temps perdu in front of a roaring fire.

I drink a half-flat 40 of Icehouse in my dirty underwear while I eagerly turn the pages of a German-translated copy of Hop on Pop in front of a roaring toaster oven coming to temperature with a decadent plate of Totino's pizza rolls swimming in their defrosted juices. The promise of the upcoming meal turns my thoughts from the tragedy of all the hopping on Pop. I can't understand German but I feel his plight transcends the language barrier"

"I can't remember the last time I washed my jeans.

Often times I decide jeans are dirty after a week or two of everyday wear. Then a few weeks later I decide they are clean again. No washing involved.

It's amazing how they magically get clean after sitting on the floor for a while."

"No clean underwear? Febreze a pair clean.

I'm convinced that Febreeze is a standard necessity for every bachelor. It makes for a good gift too for new bachelors."
