do men want a woman that keeps the house 'spotless' or do you think it's ok to 'let go'...
would you want the woman to keep the house or would you help?

After ten years of doing it myself it becomes a habit so I would still take out the trash. 
Spotless houses are for old retired ladies,thats why they all smell the same...unused.
I like the "lived in" type of clean.You know the kind...man clean.

Jeez! Somewhere in the middle, clean and tidy but not a compulsive neat freak that drives you nuts washing every cup as soon as it's used and stuff like that.

i have always believed that it should be 50-50 but in my experience i found that i did it more but it had to be the women i married, I think most women take pride in the way the house looks. It is our job to help keep it that way

I would rather have a "HOMEMAKER", than a "HOUSEWIFE' or "HOUSEKEEPER".

I agree with NeverB4Alone but it seems that this trait dramatically died off at the end of the 1970's.
I think the new trend is for women to get knocked up have the sperm donor pay child support until his child(ren) reach 18 years of age (or finish college in some cases) and pay alimony so that the woman can keep the house which was awarded to her by the courts so that she can invite her "boy toys" over to occationally screw, (She and her "boy toys" living in seperate households of course).
While her children are growing or in school she'll pursue a career or college and wonder why things seem unfair in pay or grades (maybe claim discrimmination) because she has to use a percentage of that job/school obligated time to focus on her single parent life.......sick children, sitter searching, child problems at school, etc.......
To me it appears that many women (but not all) don't know how (or don't want) to handle a complete family relationship anymore. To me it appears that they are exchanging one perceived burden for another and the concept of the American Father & Mother family will be in history books.

What does any of that have to do with whether the house is clean or not?

I'm a single slob but have always kept a clean house when I was involved. Don't know why exactly. Maybe it has something to do with sharing the chores.

Wow strivin...very bitter huh? Those ladies you talk about...are much like the men that don't want to be the father to their children and are too busy with work, their buddies, or other women to spend time with what should be the most important thing in his life...his children.
Point is...there are good and bad people everywhere...being male or female isn't what determines that. We can point fingers at others, but we must remember, when we do that, there's 3 other fingers pointing at ourself.
Bitterness will get you only where u are...alone and most likely miserable, from the way you talk in your post anyway.
As for a houseproud woman...I took a course once (yes strivin...I am a single parent and I do take classes)...had a professor say...if a man wants his house clean and has a wife who doesn't like to keep the house clean, but she'll have sex anywhere, anytime with him...that should be inspiration enough to hire a maid...seems that would solve the clean house issue LOL

If my husband wants the house clean he can do it himself or hire a maid. Cos I won't do it.

I'm not bitter, I don't get emotional over changing times. I would just prefer to have the family life that I grew up with, and that is what I'm ultimately seeking.
I'm sorry if you read bitterness into my intent, I'm only explaining my observations. I can't change or stop people's natural course of life or their destinies (I wouldn't want to do that anyway unless you happen to be part of my immediate family, I might intervene).
I avoid getting involved into relationships were the woman doesn't have the personality traits or values I am seeking. I'm not bitter about anything though. Let the people I'm not interested in live their lives the way they best see fit.

I am a mix of old fashioned and modern. I love a clean house but am not anal about it.. I want it lived in, comfortable and cozy.. but I do not spend all of my time cleaning.
A lot of times, my husband pitches in with some of the smaller chores.. which frees me up to do the other things.. and it gets done faster. He is also good about picking up after himself as I am.. it just balances out and we don't get into the "I do more then you do" game.
Bottom line is....I fix special meals for him.. do a lot of little special things for him and us.. because he appreciates them. He knows the second he takes me or the things I do for granted.. it can stop!

Of course the guys need to share in some of the chores. BTW what's for dinner?
