You’d think that being single for a long time would make a guy more stereotypically masculine. Wanting to fuck anything that moves, losing respect for women, becoming a slob, that sort of thing.
However, for me at least, being single for a while (over a year and a half, you guys) has had some opposite effects. I spend more time cleaning. I’m saving up for a nice bed frame. I keep plants. And this morning I was pretty excited about using new dryer sheets, because they smell pretty.
Now my clothes smell pretty.
The reason for this, I think, is that I have to care about girly things because there isn’t a girl around to care about them for me.
Someone save me before I branch out into women’s clothing and makeup.

You are a better housewife than I have ever been. I have almost 9 years experience. Plants *pft* the only thing I can grow is dust bunnies

Don't be so hard on yourself. I bet you can grow some pretty good fingernails too.

Being single (3 years!) has done nothing to improve my housewife skills at all, in fact, I think they've declined because I'm not trying to impress anyone. I gave up dryer sheets long ago. Good on you for still keeping up appearances. If I run into you I will be sure to notice how April Fresh you smell!

FCF: Hehe, maybe being single mellows the stereotypes of both genders. If you had to live with a smelly dude, nice dryer sheets could be a must.
Dan: Thank you. You deserve a cookie.

What do you call a guy that's been in a relationship for almost 5 years and cares about all this stuff too?

When I first say the title of this post I was sure it'd be some slightly offensive ploy to get a woman. I was pleasantly surprised though, it made you seem sweet (which lets face it, on you blog at least seldom happens), and THAT is what you want to project to “the ladies” (though don't project TOO much of that or you'll appeal to the gentlemen too…).

Good for you! Honestly Phronk, you're such a catch!
Having been in a relationship for 8 years and married for 2, I am a TERRIBLE housewife. I do my best to keep the laundry from smothering us and I'm pretty good about cleaning bathrooms, but the rest is up to my wonderful househusband 🙂 Another trick I've discovered is to invite people over on a fairly regular basis. I can do a pretty good overall house clean in the two hours before someone's coming over.

DEFINITELY a better housewife than I will ever be.
And having clothes that smell nice is not a “girly” thing.
And, if you sear the stems in a frying pan, your arrangement will stay fresh much longer! Just sayin'

BRay & Johnson: Must…resist…offending…everybody.
Hey Lady! Well good, since my entire blog is just a ploy to pick up chicks. I'll go for sweet-but-not-too-sweet from now on. Except when I'm talking about math and statistics because that's hard to make sweet.
Katrina: Hehe, yeah having people over sure motivates me too. And I think cleaning the bathroom makes you a pretty damn good housewife. I hate that shit (literally).
Blondie: It's orchid allure scent.
I don't think I'll ever understand the allure of (real) flowers though, so at least I still have that male stereotype under my belt.
