Whenever women’s magazines poll their readers on the most common sources of conflict in relationships, the most frequent responses tend to be: A) “Lack of communication”; B) “Money troubles”; and C) “Not enough help with household chores, like the way he always tosses dirty underwear on the hamper — not in the hamper, mind you, but on top of it. God only knows what would happen if he ever bothered to put his dirty clothes in the hamper itself. It’s like he’s afraid there’s something alive in there that’s going to reach out and grab him if he ever opens the lid. Which, considering how nasty his jockey shorts get by the time he stops wearing them, he may actually be right about that.”
From these results one things is apparent: women’s magazines need to stop providing so much space in their polls for write-in answers.
