Men are So So Messy!

No offence taken. You're quite right as far as I go. I'm a teenage boy and a bit of a geek as is clear from the fact that I'm here typing than watching TV or playing. I litter my house with all kinds of gadgets and their wires.. my laptop..mypc...my handicam... my phone.... my external hard disk... the music system... so the maid can't get into my niche to straighten the house coz even if one wire gets loose.. I tend to yell. But outdoors.. I never litter. I actually pick up other peoples' litter to keep the environment clean.

Because we have more important (or more fun) things to do rather than clean around. And in contrary with most tidy-junkie women, living in a mess wont bother us a bit! Get used to it women... If you don't wanna clean the mess nobody will ever ask you, so stop complaining all the time dammit!

I agree with you for the most part. But I have to say in their defense, that I know some men who are very neat and tidy, so much so that they take care of the house cleaning. My brother is one of them.

Ha! You should see my house! LOL! No, not all men are like this. Probably most of them aren't. My DH has ADD and will totally forget about something after he's done with it. That's why cupboard doors stay open, trash stays on the counter, etc. I guess I've just gotten used to it. I do pick up after him, but not all the time. I ususally will leave things there for a couple of days until it's in his way and he'll put it away. I've also said things about it, but he doesn't always realize I said it. I just think he doesn't notice that it affects anyone else. Good luck!

to be fair, not all men are messy, some women are even messier. It all voice down to the individual character. i have known some male friend of mine who are so tidy that they shy away their girlfriends. I believe the horoscope does has some logic when come to charactor of someone, be it male of female.

I thot this problem was only mine!!glad to know i have so many accomplices to this agony!!i have problems that are quite similar to yours..throwing wet towel on the bed,leaving the sink dirty after a shave and throwg stuff all the over the place..i have tried my best..explaining with love,with anger..but nothing seems to have worked..I happened to watch a program in the lifestyle channel wherein the same problem was discussed with a live example..the theory was men are like dogs in the sense they could be trained!!!first and foremost thing is to stop NAGGING!!The show actaully showed how the man improved with time when the wife nagged him less..though the wife found it really difficult to stop nagging!! I tried to practise this at home..found it really really difficult to stop nagging him to do this like this and dont throw here etc etc..but am tryg my best..sometimes am rewarded for this when my hubby really tries to keep his things n place..but most of the days i go crazyyyyyy... Anyways all gals reading this..try to stop nagging and start rewarding!!mayb it would help us better..do lemme know how u progressed..

My exhusband was the same way. He left a trail behind him as soon as he entered the door. My current hubby is just the opposite. He will find a pebble that I left behind and pick it up and gripe about it. LOL. The guy is obsessed with clean. I say, have at it.

You cannot train an adult man. He's a guy, and guys generally are slobs! You will work harder trying to change him than you will cleaning up the mess! Think of it like this- You want the mess cleaned up or DO you want to fight with habits he has had for years and lose anyway? You can't change them! Mine has his own area where he is free to be a pig! He cleans it up on his own and all I have to do then is tell the kids that they have their chores to do or no going outside!

My husband is not that bad. He is very good about his clothes going in the hamper. He also takes his little cooler out in the kitchen and puts hit freeze packs back in the freezer. He does however, have the sofa full of his stuff. He puts his ciggerrets, glasses, pens, pencils, candy containers, paperwork and other junk on the sofa. when someone comes over I have to clean off the sofa so they can sit down. He says that I should not complain because everything else is put away right. I guess I can live with one spot a mess.

My husbands mess starts outside with car parts all over the place, then you walk in and he has a mess in every room. He has so much stuff that have been sitting there for years. I will clean our table of all of his stuff and straight away when he comes into the room, he will put something there. I have boxes and boxes full of his stuff because I just don't know where to put it all anymore. I don't think you can break the cycle with them. I have even told him that I will kick him out of the house and he can take all of his gear with him, then I will let him come back without his gear. When my husband went away for a month to help friends interstate, I got the house all tidy, when he cam back, it took him 2 minutes to destroy it. He thinks it took him 2 days to destroy the house, but I still say 2 minutes. He may be messy, but I still love him.

I pretty much agree with you that men do tend to be like this. My dad seems to be the exception, the only conclusion to this is the the years of nagging have obviously worked!

Messiness is often a sign of productivity. Beware of the neat freaks, because they are so obsessed with being neat, they forget about actually accomplishing something from their lives. Franklin, Edison, Einstein were all messy but brilliant. Maybe you should be thankful men you know are messy. They might also be productive.

So, it's seems that women always still love their man whatever their man always done worst thing every day. But i am not that kind of man..Even i am not married yet but i always care my girl friend like a queen, maybe a queen of the damned... gagh.. just kidding.. :)

I happened to be married to a husband who is so totally opposites of me when it comes to puttings things on the right place. He will hanged his T-shirt on a chair, he will shaved in the sink without cleaning it afterwards. When he cook, our gas range is a mess. After 8 years, I just reconciled myself to accept this traits from him. He work hard everyday and tired by the end of the day so this things are nothing for me anymore.

No offense taken I am a man and yes we are messy.

Sometimes they are but I tell you, if for one day you stop picking up things, they will do it coz they don't want a messy house. My husband helps me clean and pick up things at the house especially we have a toddler that makes the room look like it had been hit by a strong gust of wind coz of so many things on the floor, everywhere. We tried of not picking things up for her to train her but we had to be on our knees and picked it up with her because we can't stand the mess.

my boyfriend is really messy he is worser than a kid i have told him but he doesnt see whats wrong as he thinks am his slave :-(

well its a man thing

my dad is like that and also my two brothers., i don't know why., but when my mom got annoyed by their frequent mess of their things., then they just suddenly do about with their things and clean up., but the minute my mom forgets about it., then they'll go back to their own self again., im always the one who cleaned it up if my mom is not around., and its annoying me so much and its beginning to get frustrated with this stuff... but now that my brothers are not here., having their own families., the house is beginning to get a little oriented... and homily for once...

I totally agree with you and I'm in the same boat. I hate to nag but sometimes that's the only thing that works. My husband always leaves his shoes at the front door perfectly positioned to be tripped on.
