Okay...Men vs Women.

What ''typical'' thing do you do as a man/woman and what do you do that breaks the mold?



Typical : If it's comfy, I wear it. I care if it's fashionable and not too concerned if it looks good, I care if it's comfortable.

Break the Mold : I do almost 100% of the housework. I cook all the meals, do all the laundry, do all the dishes, and pick up the house when it's needed.

    Typical: I do all the housework, cooking, grocery shopping, budgeting.

    Break the mold: I enjoy watching sports, prefer live action, but on TV is OK too. I may not know all the rules but I have been known to scream profanities in hopes of turning my team around.

    TYPICAL: I can't 'bake' for squat, but I'm a badass on the grill. Hell, I move the grill into the garage so I can use it during a snowstorm if we're in the mood.

    BREAK THE MOLD: I like to turn the lights low, get some candles going and have a couple glasses of wine while listening to soft music......helps me relax, but I know its one of my 'fem' tendencies (just ask my fiancee.....she'll tell you) LOL

    TYPICAL: Blue jeans, long sleeve button-down, steel toed boots and a hardhat ..... .I left my office job to go back to this kind of work. I love the type of people I work with, real "mens' men" so to speak. The kind of guys you aren't "in" with until they start throwing insults your way and you theirs. (They're also the type that would die in your place trying to save you from danger).

    BREAK THE MOLD: I get choked up watching kids cry, or a great triumph at the olympics, or extreme acts of kindness (this is why I never watch that kind of stuff around other people.....they don't need to know I'm not a hardass!)

    TYPICAL: I'm a huge college football and college wrestling fan (Go Hawkeyes)

    BREAK THE MOLD: My fiancee has me addicted to watching The Voice, The X Factor and American Idol

    I think I'm just typical. I loove being a girly girl. I love when he opens the door for me and I love keeping the house clean and making his dinner. I can make and deliver a perfect baby (without drugs) but when I have a cold or feel bad I like being babied and he does that for me. Yeah... I'm typical I guess! :happy:

    Lets see if I do this right...
    Typical womanly thing I do: 100% of the housework, I cook, I clean, I get his supper for him first as well as always fill his drink before getting my own. His needs are always met before mine.
    Not so typical thing I do: I'm proud of this ^ I don't complain about it. I'm glad to do it! I'm not a feminist and I genuinely love to care for my husband. I also care for his friends and my friends before taking care of myself. Blows his friend's minds and his family thinks it's strange, like I'm really medieval or something. Thing is, I don't force this on other women, it works for us. This was not the way I was raised (my parents were more of a 50/50 partnership) but this is the way I prefer it. I'm not less of a woman because I like to serve my husband and take care of him, If anything I'm more of a loving wife than some people.

    Typical:: I do most the cooking, cleaning and taking care of what kids need. I do all the bill paying and grocery shopping!

    Break the mold:: I am the sports fanatic! I yell, throw things, and do not like to be bothered while watching a game! Love watching a game live, but can handle watching it on TV too. The hubs prefers it that way due to my hollering whether the team makes a good play or a seriously stupid mistake!

    Break the mold: Hate shopping. I'll sit outside the store while DH shops. Hate talking on the phone, but DH talks long enough for both of us. I also feed the cattle and horses (yes, even in the winter) and do most of the vet work, plus mow lawns.
