[QUOTE=MrEnternational;1767521]A few years later when I was telling an Italian friend about it he said I was crazy. He said it was great to have a woman stay in the house and have your food ready when you got home and yada yada.[/QUOTE]Yeah, well, maybe if I ever find a woman who is as good of a cook as I am, I would feel differently (I was a professional cook for 8 years). I am in Italy right now and those guys are not too domestic to say the least. I was talking with my Italian landlord and he could not show me how to use the washing machine in the apartment and said he had never done laundry or washed a dish in his life, and he is SINGLE. His maid does all that shit, comes in twice a week, and he leaves three or four days' worth of dirty, crusty dishes for her. I don't go to bed with dirty dishes in the sink. Fuck that.
