Double Standard?


I was reading my email and on the YSA lister this guy posted this...

Just as some girls ask for muscly guys to help them move big objects on this list serv, I have decided that as a guy I am not as capable as most woman of keeping my apartment clean. So I am just asking for some hot sultry women to come clean my apartment. If you want to cook something while you are over here that is fine too or I could take you to Wolfgang puck, noodles etc, or some other place. Thanks, Andrew

Now my first response was, "It's not April Fools Day, is this for real?" Then I read it again and was very curious to know if anyone responded, now I love to organize and put peoples stuff in place but this may be a stretch. Why does he feel the need to classify women and men in this aspect, why not just send it out to anyone or if you really want some lovin' just put that out. I really don't like the underlining tone; Women - cook, clean and tend where as Men - manly, sloppy and can't cook. My mind wanders to Elder Oaks talk ... is this acceptable, is it plausible to actually live within these guidelines? To top it off what is the definition of sultry?

Then a lovely girl posted an article on ridding yourself of TV and getting out into the dating world...of course it comes from a very knowledgeable woman who is the author of "Love in 90 Days Boot camp". Someone should test this out? I am too busy to dedicate this time, anyone from the Bostonian Manor - take one for the team? I will buy the book and have amazon send it over; just say the word.
