1. Am I hungry?
2. Am I horny?
3. Do I have to pee?
4. Is the game on?
5. Will this get me laid?
6. Am I sleepy?
7. Will this make me money?
Can't really argue with this list. And the number 8 for married guys rounds it out exquisitely:
8. Is my wife gonna yell at me if I.....?
However, I think she may be slightly off on answering this particular question:
"Why don't men see things that need to be picked up?"
The truth is, every person - men AND women - have a certain tolerance for chaos & disorder in their living environment. A certain amount of "scattered objects and dust-bunnies" above which the irresistable desire to restore order kicks in. And the level is different for everyone.
So, in ANY given couple, someone will crack under the stress of needing to clean before the other person. Usually it's the woman.
However, when I got married, Beloved Wife had a higher tolerance for chaos than I did, and I could never figure out how SHE could manage to "not see things that needed to be picked up".
Which left me with three courses of action:
1) Change her
2) Clean up after her
3) Adopt her level of chaos tolerance
I chose option 3, and we've lived happily ever after, even if there ARE a few things that need putting away.
How YOU folks choose to solve the "chaos gap", I leave to your own discretion.
