Bed frames are feminine, put that mattress on the floor. While your at it, get rid of the sheets, bare mattress it up.

Lighting is too fancy, fancy is feminine. Plain flickering bulb is what you want for ambiance.

    Women hate overhead lighting. We decided at the meeting.

    For the first forty years of my life, I could not understand people (including my mom) who disliked overhead lighting. Now, I would way rather fumble in the dark than have that stuff glaring at me (grudging exception if I am using a knife in the kitchen). It's become a minor source of friction with my husband. I don't understand what changed.

    How can I make my wife hate overhead lighting?

    I hate it more than sand

    The most satisfactory setup seems to be great indirect and task lighting that is just as easy to turn on and off as the overhead. Requires lighting purchases and maybe installation, and maybe "smart" switches if there aren't switched outlets or other readily accessible places for the controls, which is a barrier. As an intermediate step, a different colored (warmer white) and less bright bulb in the overhead can make it more tolerable.

    You want a bulb? Real men stub their toes in the dark.

    I think if it is that terrible bright white kind of bulb, it will be ok. 😉

    I don’t understand the bed frame. Is it a 2 inch mattress on a platform frame? You’re going to bang your shin on that so hard.

    Also, the bed is blocking the closet doors because, I’m assuming.. closets are for ladies?

    Heroine? Like a female superhero? I uh.....I dunno man. We've already established that I am very manly.

    Then again, Wonder Woman would be a heroine, and she's probably more manly that emo ass Batman!

    Waaaah!!!! Waaaah!!!! My parents died!

    Both of Spidermans parents died. And his uncle ben. And you don't see him being a little emo pussy.

    Well, except in Spiderman 3. But we don't talk about that one.
