Kiwi women? where are they?
 

This is my personal experience...
On a hot sunny Sunday afro (today) this is what my neighbours are doing.

One is out side building a huge retaining fence, which he has been doing solo for about 4 weeks.
One is building a patio out the frount, also by himself.
One has just single handedly finished decorating and renovating the kitchen...

Good on these Kiwi blokes.

My piont is...where are the wives don't they help?

When we "as a couple" undertake DIY projects whether it building fences or decorating or building decks I'm always expected to help...

What are the women doing?

Or is it ...where did I go wrong?

Anyone else notice this?

Re: Kiwi women? where are they?
 

I think they are all out shopping. :rofl:

Yes, I to do my bit and help out and supervise the proceedings, only to make sure that the job gets done to my specifications and standard of workmanship. :rofl:.

Re: Kiwi women? where are they?
 

They're all having coffee... a national obsession with the ladies.

Re: Kiwi women? where are they?
 

Are you sure they're blokes? :D

Re: Kiwi women? where are they?
 

The Kiwi man is obviously not very good at training his woman.

I am now diving for cover!!!!!

PS: My Other Half helps me and very good she is too.

Re: Kiwi women? where are they?
 

Nice save! :rofl: :lol:

Re: Kiwi women? where are they?
 

As a single bloke the OPs question is a very good one, but for different reasons!!!;):p

Re: Kiwi women? where are they?
 

and the update is...No1 neighbour is still out there working, if he had wifey to help maybe it would be finished this side of Christmas.
:eek:

Re: Kiwi women? where are they?
 

This could be it....the men are snoozing... the women are dressed up like men doing the manual stuff. Sounds more logical.:thumbsup:

Re: Kiwi women? where are they?
 

I think more that anything, Kiwi females should be praised for their independance of spirit...blah blah blah first country to give women the vote...blah blah blah....first country to have females holding all the major positions of power....blah blah blah......first country to have 'female chauvinist pigs'....

or should that be 'sows'?

Re: Kiwi women? where are they?
 

You were doing so well there, too, Avid... :p ;)

Re: Kiwi women? where are they?
 

Well...I think it has to be said that NZ has a weird kind of female chauvinism that seems to be a bit out of hand.

Re: Kiwi women? where are they?
 

I've not come across this tbh. Care to explain your view of it? :)

Re: Kiwi women? where are they?
 

Even as a married bloke, there are a lot (a higher majority) of ugly women in NZ.

Re: Kiwi women? where are they?
 

They are all in the kitchen cooking eggs.

Re: Kiwi women? where are they?
 

There's also an overwhelming amount of guys that get sent out to do the weekly shopping. Biggest topic of conversation in my workplace is among the guys, over whether Foodtown, New World et al are the best.

I sit near to a guy who calls his missus to tell her what she needs to get from the supermarket and then he goes to do the shopping. :rofl: It's like he needs her approval on what he has to get. He also calls her daily to ask what to have for dinner and a big discussion ensues about what they have left and what can he can cook.

Makes me LOL everytime.

Re: Kiwi women? where are they?
 

Jogging.

Re: Kiwi women? where are they?
 

Whilst pushing 3 wheeler buggies?:eek:

Re: Kiwi women? where are they?
 

I know. Whats all that about ?? One nearly ran me over this afternoon as I popped to the dairy for a chocolate fish.

Re: Kiwi women? where are they?
 

Mate - it's a "Dirry" not a "Dairy" - get with the lingo.:sneaky:

My Hubby likes to shout at all the joggers that there are taxi's available ... sad Tw*t that he is ...

Re: Kiwi women? where are they?
 

Thats so funny AM !!!:D

Re: Kiwi women? where are they?
 

My father once told me that only poor people who couldn't afford cars walked anywhere. For years I believed him!:curse: Odd that I now work for a conservation organisation!!:o

Re: Kiwi women? where are they?
 

Tell you where they're not....the bloody hairdressers! Someone have a word with these mulleted,permed 'women'. A decent hairdresser should be a billionaire here.

Re: Kiwi women? where are they?
 

I walk everywhere. Your father is accurate in my case.

Re: Kiwi women? where are they?
 

He actually is in mine too!

Then again, he also told me that Yams were deep fried huhu grubs. :sneaky:

Re: Kiwi women? where are they?
 

when we first arrived here,I said to my OH,"there must be a marathon soon":blink: never seen so many people jogging and power walking.coming from scotland thats the only time you see people jogging,when they are in training for a marathon.That and a friday night when they are heading down the local.;)

I am now power walking with the rest of them(minus the 3 wheeler).Its all good...jacky

Re: Kiwi women? where are they?
 

You didn't go wrong, it just so happens you do it differently.

Or I hope that's the case. My Brit OH does most of the outside work and I do most of the inside work. If he needs a hand with his he asks and I do and vice versa. Sometimes we do both together.

We share some interests and some we don't. He loves fishing and I don't so if he goes fishing I do something else. I love diving so if he is going for a dive I go. Seems pretty simple to me.

Now all you experts tell me if my Brit husband has got it all wrong or has his Kiwi wife gpt ot all wrong ?

I shave my legs and under my arms, I don't have to shave my top lip(well not yet) , I don't and never have had a mullet haircut, I respect my OH and think he is a "spunk" and I behave like a woman he loves.

Are you lot telling me I am not a Kiwi woman ?

Re: Kiwi women? where are they?
 

Now that's something I haven't heard in ages :D :D :thumbsup:

Re: Kiwi women? where are they?
 

He doesn't like yams, does he? :lol:

Re: Kiwi women? where are they?
 

He likes them. His daughter, however, still does not.

And on another note, I don't have a mullet either :)

Re: Kiwi women? where are they?
 

:)thought that when I first met him and still do after 35 years ;)
