I also post here 90% of the time whilst drunk (well that's pretty much every day then) as it all seems slightly more tolerable being here :D

This.

I think it's just naturally harder for males to figure out.

I think that one blip is acceptable. I mean I could iron your clothes whilst preparing a meal, fix the tear in your clothes and rewire the electrics after a power vault and if you are babysitting someones kid I could change it's nappie (diaper) and wind it. What more do u want after all that? someone who is actually good looking? rofl

I have to fail somewhere!

I've been washing my own clothes since I was 15 and I've always been the one responsible to take care of the dishes because I didn't buy or cook the food, so a washing machine is simple. I've actually never ironed anything in my life because... well I just don't care enough. I think this may be more of a British thing, when I was living in Wales I noticed my cousins all took turn ironing their shirts before going out on a Friday night and I was kind of frowned down on when I passed on ironing my shirt, asking "Do I look like a bitch?"

Ironing your own shirt gives you superpowers. It means that you can handle anything hot and steamy that spews hot spray everywhere with consummate ease.

It is when your parents weren't around much to teach you

Parents aren't required. All that is required is a bike, and a little persistence.

There really isn't a way to teach someone balance. You learn part of it on your own when you learn how to walk. A bike isn't much different in terms of how you train your body to react.

The bikes are kept up in a rack that would require asking someone to get it down for me.

Not part of the learning experience. ;)
