Will you ask your wife to do all the housework or you share together?
Last night, I had a free talk with my friends with the topic about the differences between Sichuan girls and Chaoshan girls.
One of my friends gave his opinion that Sichuan girls are pretty and open, whose skin appear supple and smooth. Besides, the girls have strong characters as a result of the local custom that people are fond of eating spicy food. It means that they are confident, sassy, powerful, talkative, even a bit of pungent and so on. However, the Chaoshan girls are nearly opposite to that. They are traditional, tender, shy and femininity with an equable temper.
With reference to the comparison above, here comes a question, if you are going to get marry, which kind of girl would you choose to be your wife? A friend said that he liked pretty and open girls, but as for wife, he would choose the latter one, for he wanted a traditional and tender wife who can do all the housework for him. He’s contradictory. Obviously, this is a typical example of traditional male chauvinism. I can’t agree to such conservative views. Women are now basically on an equality with men, not only in society but at home. As for marriage, how could a couple live together without respecting each other? Why should women take up all the housework? In my friend’s opinion, a girl would change when she meet her Mr. right, and change for that guy when she fall in love with him. Maybe, he’s right. But it would take him some time to find such a kind of traditional girl. Presently, it’s common that city couples always share the housework with each other.
This morning, I asked one of my colleagues whether he would have his wife take up all the housework or they share them. He answered me unhesitatingly and directly, “Share, of course!”
So, if you are going to get marry, which kind of girl would you choose to be your wife? Why? Will you ask your wife to do all the housework or you share together?
Pls write down your views and give your explanation.

Let me come straight to the point. No one likes to do work especially housework. That has nothing to do with the gender of a person or where the person is from or what he/she claims or says. Most women end up doing more housework than men because they settle for it. They can get a job for themselves, hire a servant to do the housework and send kids to a daycare center. If they are for some reason unable to do that, they should ask the guy to help out with the housework. If he/she really loves her/him then they would be willing to sacrifice and compromise for the other person.

Lulu, well, I can't correct it. Maybe I can sort of answer it.
Chinese people seem to spend a lot of time putting things in categories.
Would I prefer hot, spicy, tender, traditional, confident, wow, a menu.
I'll take the traditional with a large serving of the confident & maybe just a little more ... on top. :)
(1) I married the lady I liked. Afraid I was too ignorant to check whether she matched the profile for where she was from. Born in Sichuan, grew up in Tianjin. People are individuals, despite local culture.
(2) Why would she do any housework? What about option 3. You do it all? :)
(3) "ask your wife to"? Maybe by mutual agreement & being too thrifty to hire a cleaning lady. :)
