A woman I was seeing some time ago asked me to assist her in relocating to a new apartment and I politely and respectfully suggested she call a moving company.  After she explained how expensive it was and she “didn’t have that much stuff” (which was untrue by any stretch of the imagination), she could not understand why I would not do it.

After much thought, I said to her, “you have a very neat and clean home, you are a very good housekeeper and an excellent cook, would you clean my house twice a week, do my laundry and cook dinner for me for the next month and in exchange I will move your furniture?”.  Curiously, it was the first time I saw her at a loss for words.  She launched into a tirade and called me a sexist, to which I replied “how many of your female friends were asked to move your furniture before you decided to ask a male?”  THAT IS SEXISM.

Why was it so hard for her to comprehend that what I asked of her was no different than what she asked of me.  We could have both dealt from our strengths, I can lift heavy things and she can cook and clean.  I can only guess that feminism released women from their stereotypes, but not men.

As a side note, I don’t move furniture or heavy things for anyone, ever.  I’m not an Ox, nor am I a Clydesdale meant to be a beast of burden.  I don’t cut grass either, nor do I clean house, I am a grown up, I hire these things out because I don’t want to do them.  That being said, what gave her the misguided notion that I would move her furniture when she knows I would not move my own?

I guess the short answer is, she was an idiot.

Bingo. Give this gentleman his prize… FREEDOM.

She was looking at house listings and talking about them to me. I am assuming the only reason she invited me – she will ask me to help her move when she dumps her boyfriend and buys a house.

Thanks to my ex-wife and her family, now I know about the true nature of women

If that dime is a piece of ass, it is going to cost you more than a hint of a possibility of you putting out. Payment up front Miss Kitty, welcome to equality sunshine.  On second thought. F~~~ that s~~~, move your stuff yourself, or pay a moving company.

I do those things myself because I’ve never found anyone I can hire who can do it better than I do. Or cheaper.

“$100 bucks an hour, two hour minimum.”

They will sometimes respond with “I’ll buy you supper instead.”

To which I say “I can’t eat that much, I’ll take the money.”

“I’ll buy you supper instead.”

Oh yeah, the classic female “I’ll buy you food” thing as some kind of commensurate compensation for helping her MOVE. Like you’re some kind of dog who does tricks at the smell of bacon. I’ll buy my own meal thanks.

“Honey, I’m not the bitch who works for a bone. YOU are”.

Never move anything for any woman any further than the curb.

Only to the curb no further, that is if I get a blow job, and a sammich first, and maybe I’ll let her know if my schedule is open after the blow job and sammich then $200 to do it. Otherwise, find yourself a White Knight.
