Apart from fertilising your eggs, can anybody explain what men are good for?

Question

This morning my step-son came round. Since I am vertically disadvantaged, I said to him, 'Look, I can't clean the top of the kitchen cupboards.' He said, 'Oh you poor little lady!' and that was it. Just now a male friend came round to use my computer. I pointed out the tide line and he said, 'Um'.

Both times when I was 7/8 months pregnant and couldn't drive I had to push the car. The second time was really annoying. My husband had parked the car on what he thought was a parking place clear of snow (Grindelwald, Switzerland) when we came back he realised it was ice. I started pushing the car, whilst my husband sat in the driving seat ready to put in the power as soon as he felt the tyres grip and I heard two men talking about us. One said, 'It's disgusting letting a woman in that condition push a car.' Naturally they didn't come over to help.

Answer 1

A husband is a good thing to have around the house. A man does many chores. On top of the list: changing light bulbs.

Obviously some women are luckier than others.

Answer 2

half the men i know wouldn't even be any good at fertilising your eggs.

Answer 3

Let's face it -- some men just don't realize that we have trouble doing some things they find easy.  

We're not asking just to hear ourselves talk, you know?  They don't seem to understand that.

Can someone open this jar???  lol

Answer 4

Geting moths out of the bathroom, so that you can pee in peace.

Answer 5

Sorry I can't help you, it still remains a mystery to me.  

Answer 6

Sounds like you need to be more direct.

If you want someone to do something for you, ask them directly.  If you said to me 'look I can't clean the top of the kitchen cupboards', I'd have reacted the way as your step son and I'm a woman.  

Even better, get yourself a kitchen step.

And if there are bystanders when you're trying to push a car, open your mouth and ask for help.  If you don't, you can't complain.  If you do and they don't help, then I'll listen.

Answer 7

I am a bloke and would of at one point help any lady out. I opened a door for a lady walking into a shop what happened she told me off for it saying 'just because I am a woman I can open the door' now I was brought up to be a gentleman and look after all women it is the right thing to do. Last month I got pulled over by the police trying to help a woman. Driving up M6 car in front engine blew up car veered all over the road eventually stopping in hard shoulder at night I though I would pull over to see if she needed assistance, what happened she told me to F*** O**. I thought ok so carried on my way did not want her thinking i was a nutter 5 miles later pulled by cops saying I was pestering her. I was made as h**l, I could not leave her there what if something had happened to her and kids i would of felt guilty for life. Anyway this is womens lib you wanted it and now you want help and men dont want to give it cause they keep getting stung for it. If you want help then ask.

Answer 9

1. Taking tops off s***w top jars.

2. Carrying heavy bags. (There was one blissful occasion in Brussels when I was struggling with my suitcases and encountered a student whose hobby and passion was weight lifting!)

3. Changing car wheels.

4. Making sure you're not cheated when your car is serviced (it's notorious that what men are told by the mechanics differs substantially from what women are told -- with an equally substantial price differential).

5. Reaching down for things off high supermarket shelves.

6. Using their loud voices for relaying messages over a distance.

7. Singing tenor and bass parts. I love both.

The clutch of my car went once at some traffic lights during the rush hour in London.  I got out to push and it was no good at all. I too am vertically challenged. Meanwhile, all the other drivers just hooted at me resentfully. I eventually went into a local shop and entreated the shopkeeper to push it out of the way. He was most reluctant, but at least he agreed and provided valuable muscle power.
