Tips and tricks for training your manservant - Men are dogs jaaaaaaaaaaa

[Hitchhiker]

Yes compliments go extremely far with men. Most of them are so starved for positive affirmation one small compliment will make their day.

Very true. I'm not even joking when I say that I remember every single compliment that I have gotten in the last 5 years.

How do you train a manservant that you don't need to use this many bowls to cook:

You can make this dish using 2 bowls max.

Also, leaving empty packets in cupboard. Just why?

Do you have that arrangement some couples have where whoever cooks doesn't have to do the dishes? Because that only benefits you if you're the one who cooks almost all the time. If you're both cooking decently often, make him wash his own dishes. If he has to wash them every time he uses them, he'll probably get sick of doing it and start to use fewer bowls. Either way, it's not your problem.

I’ve also experienced men who hoard cutlery, plates, cups, and bowls and then dump them all in the sink at the same time.
I’m not washing that nasty ish.

Also, I don’t have any advice, but from my past relationship; if your man has ADHD, just throw him out and start over.
You cannot work with it whatsoever. Don’t drive yourself crazy.

Also, if you want to see men get absolutely delighted, just compliment complete strangers.
I do it to women as well, but its kinda heartbreaking how men react. Like Noone ever told them anything like that before.
I've seen a full grown man get all emotional because I told him "I just want to tell you that your beard really suits you. You look good!"

I used to buy into the “men need more compliments!” thing when I was younger. It may be true, but I stopped because it was interpreted as a sexual advance 100% of the time. Husbands, boyfriends, brothers- sure, be nice to them. But I recommend against doing this to random men because they will think you’re coming onto them and you don’t know how they’ll react when you have to back track.

I didn't think of that.
Its not seen as sexual when I do it because I'm an old lady.
I guess it's more motherly/grandmotherly thrn..

We don't have a set arrangement, it works better cos sometimes one of us is snowed under with work and the other can pick up the slack. For a dish like that (involves frying pancake type things) I wash up while waiting for it to cook.

I've told him if he leaves that much again I will put it in his office.

Me too, I lived with one. He didn't see the problem doing that and not washing up for days. He moved out after 2 months cos me and my housemate were "impossible to live with" for not wanting the small kitchen full of his dirty dishes.

My room was next to the bathroom. The walls were thin. He didn't wash his hands after shitting.

When they say this the subtext is always "from women I find attractive." They don't want compliments from their male friends even though most women get the majority of their genuine compliments from other women. It's just another way for them to blame women for a problem they caused for each other.

You can't train that out of someone. That's a result of sloppy parenting and will take years to unpick.

The only way you'll get someone to stop that is to get them on board with why it's scutty and have them want to stop it. However if they've been raised and socialised to think that's okay behaviour, the odds aren't in your favour.
