Not when you have a higher sex drive than your boyfriends, which is usually the case for me :(

Just because I'm CAPABLE of doing these things doesn't mean I LIKE doing them...

Oh that's awful! My guy is the opposite. Maybe you can send yours to finishing school or something, because that is just unacceptable!

We're a decade past thay, we've been together for a few years, and he makes more money than I do and takes on a bigger share of the expenses. But I do have nice, shiny, soft hair so...

And it's kinda funny isn't it, how some men have this running joke about how women "let themselves go" after marriage - in a purely physical sense, when sometimes they're doing that exact thing, but in a relational sense.

I strongly agree with Yoga Nerd MD but I would like to add the following ways in which I use boyfriends:

WHO NEEDS SLEEP??

As far as I'm concerned, most upsides are things you can learn to do yourself. Spider removal, litter box. You don't need some guy to do those.

I thought my partner's reluctance in getting one was situational, but I'm becoming convinced he doesn't want to be emotionally out-performed by someone without opposable thumbs.

Sex, cuddles, having someone to take care of you when you're sick.

True. I'm totally capable of taking out the trash but I hate it so I make my partner do it. However, I kill the bugs. None of the men in my immediate family, partner included, can handle bugs.

I have to agree with this, also. There are many excellent opportunities for cake, and also basically definite cuddles/kissing/sex to come home to. I agree that my partner is sometimes also sweet and adorable, but man, he is a self-centered, over-sensitive, spoiled critter.

Utilizing a dual-income process for building wealth and supporting offspring.

This doesn't surprise me, even if the study itself is probably wishy washy, data-wise. For one, I think men are trained from very young to not expect sympathy. So that in part translates into a lack of understanding when we want or even need it. Hell, my grandfather used to basically tell me to "suck it up" when I was…

Reliable penis. Usually available most of the time.

adore that hour or two after we get into bed, but before we fall asleep where we just talk and laugh about everything

I feel real and genuine empathy when the people around me suffer. Usually, though, I don't feel a desire to take on the pain of others for them so much as I would like to take away their pain in general. My son, though? It's like nothing else. That kid works up a tear over a minor disappointment and it hurts me soul…

Not having your face being eaten by your cat when you die alone choking on a slice of pizza.

I'm pretty sure this translates outside of hetero relationships too, in business settings and in friendship..

In terrible, not particularly shocking news for heterosexual women worldwide...
