    Independence and self respect is sexy, and doing chores is a form of independence (you know how take of yourself) and is a form of self respect (you don’t let yourself live in filth). It also implies that you don’t view your gf as the designated house maid and not being humiliated/burdened like that is a big relief, especially for women who grew up around sexism. Who might have internalized the idea that men doing chores is on par with something like gift giving or going on dates, something special done out of love, and not just something that needs to be done. She could genuinely find you doing chores sexy, but also having to do less chores is a bonus no matter who you are, it can be both.

      What if I like doing 50% of the chores, and the other 50% I truly hate and never do unless it’s a matter of life and death?

      I live alone so my place is a total mess in 50% of chores, and perfect in the other 50%. So judging by my place, I’m not independent, I’m barely 50% there.

      So if I got a GF and we were a match with regards to who’s doing which chores, would it be a way to get the best of both worlds? I would still do my 50% of chores but the place would be neat? And now I would appear independent and thus sexy?

      However, in order to get the full effect, we would have to come up with a good schedule so that when I do my chores, she’s not doing her chores and she can fully admire me doing my 50% of chores, and vice versa. 🤔

      Sounds like an idea for a new kind of dating page… 🤓
