...if you help me paint my bedroom." That was my friend's girlfriend's proposal to him. He, not being much of a handyman, declined the offer, and she subsequently broke up with him.
I had to laugh, because he said that he had no idea that her question was the hinge upon which their relationship was going to turn. Nor was he subconsciously looking for a way out of the relationship by answering no.
Her friend helped her paint the bedroom instead (I asked if SHE got his sex and beer but he didn't know).
Was it right of him not to compromise and help her paint the bedroom? Sounds to me like they had expectations of one another that would never quite mesh. I think it's good that he answered "no" if he didn't really want to help.
Any thoughts?

I think she should have asked me.

You don't have to be a handyman to paint a bedroom, you just need hands. That said, I would have said no too, if my girlfriend asked me to help her paint her bedroom I'd do it, just holding sex and beer up as a condition feels a bit off to me.

she broke up with him because he wouldnt paint her room?????
Ive never considered helping out painting a room is that big a deal - nor worthy of sex and beer (should really make em work for it,) heh.
Ive painted, and had people paint my room...hmm. strange.

Maybe he did'nt want to use the paint, because he drinks paint, not beer.
:) I'm just trying to help. |

yea this is really a proposition that should come from a friend or stranger, not a girlfriend.
if the girlfriend really must proposition her boyfriend it should be "sex with my friend and beer."
let this be a lesson.

You're right. Actually, free sex is one of the main reasons to date a girl. For some guys it's the only reason. I even have a friend married only for it.

The shrewd ones have a whole economy worked out like If you clean the leaves out of the gutters we'll have sex but get any muddy leaves on the windows I just washed and you only get blown.

I'll give anyone free paint if they help me have sex and drink beer.
 I'd walk her everyday, into a shady place

Was their relationship already on shaky ground? That really doesn't sound like anything worth breaking up over.
I was all out of luck, like a duck that died. I was all out of juice, like a moose denied. |

If you paint a picture of Homer in beer, you can have hot monkey sex.

From what I gathered it was a so-so relationship that didn't seem to me to be extremely long-term. They were having sex up until the paint thing came up. Then none.

I think you have the wrong thread. You WERE trying to describe Floop in two words, right? :P

New Update:
She extended her offer to the bearded sex monkeys who promptly painted her bedroom, in a drunken fashion.
This degeneration is all your fault Carl.

Well, what good is having an intellect if you can't show it off?

The intellect is necessary to lie and to remind every lie you've told.

Look at it from the man's point of view. Despite the offer of sex and beer, painting's still a lot of hassle and men are lazy at heart, not neccessarily, um, tools.
Not that I ever have had that offer, or are ever likely to.
How's that for a slice of fried gold? |

That's true. In fact, I'd be too lazy to have the sex or drink the beer, let alone paint the room.
