What You Can Learn from Men about Cleaning
>> Jan 8, 2014
I always tough that one day, the gender stereotypes that we've all
come to know and love, would simply die-out and disappear without a trace. I am
glad to see that my premonition is coming into fruition, and that we live in an
age, where women are no longer considered “exclusive masters of the household
chores”. As a man, I am proud to share any experience I have with the people
who would benefit from it the most. I cannot say that we men are that
proficient in cleaning, but at least we can bring in another perspective into
the whole gender monopoly game.
Men Clean Fast
The last thing any man wants is to waste time. When it comes to
making all the right moves, we always seem inpatient and in a hurry. But that
can be a good thing, especially when it comes to cleaning. The faster we are
done with it, the better. Unless the man is very lazy, you can bet that he
would be finished before you know it. This is just how we are.
Men Clean Right
It is not just a matter of getting the job done fast. We can also
clean very good in terms of quality. Just like when fixing our cars, everything
must fall into its right place. We make a detailed plan before we start – just
so we don;t have to worry about anything else while we are cleaning. But
because we are not as stubborn as women (he he), we might omit something from
the equation – that is why we make sure to double-check everything before
declaring “success”.
Men Don’t Get Distracted
One thing I am personally proud of, is that I always get the job
done, no matter how difficult a situation is. And don't think that I don't have
things to do, on the contrary! But when I am busy with something, I will pour
all my heart and soul into completing the project, no complains, no delays. But
that is only for men who know what they are doing. Sadly, most men would quit
very fast if they get stuck with something outside their expertise, or would
they?
Men Know how to Improvise
Improvisation is one of our strong-suits. We can make everything
out of anything; depending on how handy the person is of course. But generally
speaking, it is not too difficult to handle a situation, as long as we
understand the basic concept. If there isn't any soap left/handy, then we are
just going to use white vinegar or baking soda – everything to get the job
done.
Men will take it as a challenge
Most women clean as if by habit. We men on the other hand like to
take everything, like it is a direct challenge against our manhood (an emotion
left from our caveman days I suppose). Either way, it works just the way it
worked 10 000 years ago – we see a problem that needs solving, we get excited,
and until that problem is finished we cannot rest or even ask for help. It is a
matter of pride after all.
Men know when they are beat
Not a lot cleaning situation have a happy ending. And even though
men don't like to quit, we will if we see that the situation warrens it.
