I know it is such an odd question but I was having a conversation with a friend who brought up this term … We were basically talking about those hardcore domestic guys, basically single and they are not only taking care of general house chores but they will make food for fatihas on different occassions, quite intense into entertaining people, quite into home decor and stuff…
According to her guys being so intensely involved into domestic stuff was strange.
so what is your opinion? How do you define or see this term and what kind of opinion you have on such guys.
I just had to edit and expand so people don’t get offended.
i think it depends. some people would define a domesticated man as someone who knows how to do domestic things, other would define it as someone who actually **does **domestic chores. all the men in my family (father, brothers) know how to cook, clean, load the washing machine etc, even basic sewing but it doesn't mean that they actually do any of these things on a regular basis, just when they may have to. my brothers have some chores to do (coz i make them, ehehehe), my dad doesn't do any domestic work. except when we were little and my mum was in hospital or something. i think it was nice, he didn't just abandon us with an aunt or something, he took care of us himself.
sooo, i would describe them as domesticated but not really domestic!
Lol shikra @ a cute little puppy…but your comments brings another question to mind…:D… How do guys who are not domesticted view domesticated guys and how do girls view them?
again, i think it depends on the person. i guess some men might think that domestic men are whipped.
i think on the whole, it’s viewed favourably by women. not ‘yay, i don’t have to do chores coz my hubby will do them!!’ but most domestic chores are basic life skills, everyone should be able to do them. from a personal point of view, i think it shows a self sufficient nature and a good attitude. but then i like people who are willing to have a bash at most things. if a guy knows how to do these things it means that he has to do to them for at least himself in the past. also, i really hate misplaced pride and then attitude of some men who think that they are above needing to know how to do any domestic work.
Sort of chaar ya panch (4 or 5) behnoon ka eik hee bhai who is more into AAPA-BUAA sort of thing and sister have to do basic house hold work like changing the light bulb
P.s. This thread reminded me of that commercial for Dish Network by that Bush’s imposter guy who says “You can even recordify by pushing this recordification button”
my brother, my father and my husband...
when my bro worked from home, he did a lot of chores, some he left totally to his wife, but overall he wasn't the type to just do nothing... he's esp good with his kids mashallah. My dad also tries to help out, and cooks sometimes. and my hubby also lived alone for some time, so he can survive on his own... so they are all capable of doing these chores if they were left completely alone but since we're here for them.. :@:
How does domesticated guy on a leash sound ? I take offense with this term it is not used for guys it is used for pets therefore I refuse to participate
Read more about the process of domestication here.
After my above statement if you still want to take offense, create an issue, or refuse to participate; please feel free to stay out of this thread. I have no problem.
No problem, it was an honest mistake. May be the mods might fix it.
Yes domestic guy will be a guy participating in household chores. I do participate and try to help my wife over the weekends and sometimes during weekdays .
I am not sure of the exact meaning of domestic guy but I would imagine that it is someone who does at least half of the household chores, if not all or most. So somebody like me who would vacumm on weekends, wipe/clean/shine the sofas, take the trash out daily, do other small chores in the kitchen to help out my wife, I don't think I would qualify as a domestic guy because she still does over 90% of the house work.
…domesticated dude:omg:..That my friend is a rarity …a novel concept:omg:
