How can I have my idea of a perfect man?

Oh you guys are so funny. I need cheering up at the moment. It does seem that our men seem to slow down while we still have life to do !

I’m with you rosecarmel. We all need a bit of Jamie Fraser in our lives, even if it’s only via the box in the corner! Trouble is, it makes you very dissatisfied with what you’ve got, lol.

Sounds like you're bored. My husband was cruel, lazy and selfish. I wish I had your problems. Do things for yourself to make your life interesting. Turn that frown upside down. Do nice things for him too.

There are no perfect men! How about enjoying your own company at the garden centre? I go out on my own for a coffe or lunch sometimes and have had very entertaining chats with other people on their own. I also take a book!

DIY - go and chat to the lovely people in B & Q (other stores available!), buy yourself a good rechargeable drill and a spirit level and put the shelves up yourself. I've done this for years. The hilarious part is that as soon as I get my drill out and start waving the spirit level around my husband comes to "help", having ignored my requests for shelves and cupboards for months! I have to say, no shelves, cupboards or pictures that I have put up have ever dropped off the wall, but a kitchen cabinet that my husband put up fell off the wall, scraping my shoulder on the way down and nearly squashing the cat!

Technology is progressing and I hear robots will be in households within the next decade.Perhaps that’s the answer.

Have you tried switching off then on again?

My OH says he gets 4 days wear from his underpants by turning them inside out, back to front and then front to back.
I am at my wits end.
Withdraw ablution privileges until that bathmat issue is resolved.?

A man in a garden centre is of no use at all except to lug the bags of compost into the boot for you.
Not sure I get the bath mat thing - don't you just bung it in the machine?

I have just loved this thread, laughed out loud OH gave me a strange look,
He wouldn't understand the humour ?

I like Apricity's idea. Oh and I have given up looking. I live happily alone

Down the graveyard,best chance of finding perfect man or woman!

Sorry Grapefruitpip but you'll never meet the perfect man - he's always looking for the perfect woman so I'm afraid that your destined to never meet.

I have the perfect man - kind, caring, thoughtful, sensual and sexy. Brilliant cook too.

I’m going on a carpentry course, do the same that might shock him at your independence. Go for it, ..... whilst enjoying the porn site ! ?

We can live in hope.

Or, if we do have one that is less than perfect, keep on with the training

My mother used to say all the perfect men were 6ft under

All I get whenever I suggest anything - doing something, buying something - what do you want to do that for? Then I say why I do, and I get - oh you do what you want. Such a lack of enthusiasm means we do nothing.

I've got to find the nerve to just get on and do these things by myself I hear you say.

My boyfriend says he's the perfect man because he always wipes the toilet floor when his jimmy riddle splashes on it!

I wonder- are they married to perfect women ;)
mine isn't, for sure ahaha

Samiejb- yes, just get on and do it by yourself or with a friend/s.

Jamie Fraser in Outlander!!!!! probably as near perfection as possible.

This thread is great and really cheering me up today as its been a horrific week! Thank you. x

Why would anyone want a perfect man? Having such a paragon in your life would mean that whatever goes wrong or is less than perfect would be YOUR fault.

The perfect man goes home after, fixing the shelf, carried the shopping, cooked lunch and cleaned the car lol

The lovechild of Jamie Fraser and Dick Strawbridge would do me nicely - good looks and DIY prowess with the energy of a Duracell bunny ?
