Sort of guilty. Wifey actually isnt high maintenance, but it does go better when at least some of that stuff is done.
Now for the man part of that sign: 100 percent got dam truth.

Yeah but some of it is absurd. Miss the game? frick that. I wont even miss the game. Buy jewelry? No thanks. I'll get what I like by myself.
I'm assuming that the dying part wasn't serious. I hope so anyway.

My wife would never miss the game. Don't think I could be with anyone who asked me to miss a game I wanted to see. Jewelry? What little she wears, she picks out herself.
My wife is almost 40, wears little makeup, little jewelry, likes to wear holey sweats and tshirts around the house - which is a turn on at times.
But she is still a slob.

I'm too OCD to be a slob. I go so far as having everything categorized in baskets in the fridge.

frick that. I wanted a girlfriend to show up naked and bring beer. I had a much longer list of requirements for the wife.
Be a good mother
Be funny
Be fun
Carry on intelligent conversations about religion, politics, etc
Don't let yourself go
Initiate sex
help me cook
help me keep the house clean
tolerate my family
be responsible with money
be a good hostess for guests
encourage me to excel at work
tell me when I'm fricking up
Don't throw out my old clothes that I like
She's living up to all but the last one so far.

Smart wives, not just girlfriends, do this, periodically, as well. It enables them to get away with cutting out a few things from y'all's "list of wife requirements" (particularly the tolerate your family & be responsible with money items) . ... They can normally score a smallish piece of jewelry or new designer handbag with the occasional unsolicited nudity & beer, as well. A little nekkidness from the wife goes a long way toward y'all's forgetting about her credit card statement.

Sounds like she's got you trained well.
... Telling my ex when he fricked up was always frowned upon, to say the least ... And if I even so much as hinted at his helping me fold a load of towels or heat up something in the microwave, I might as well have been asking him to clean toilets in all the Walmarts in Baton Rouge. There was a colossal bitch fit thrown by him every time, so I stopped asking. ... That's ok, though; I despised him being in my kitchen, anyway, dirtying up 10 items just to make Rotel cheese dip, then leaving them all over the counters, unwashed - I'm extremely picky about my kitchen & don't play when it comes to cooking. And I had to re-fold every towel, washcloth, t-shirt, or pair of underwear he ever attempted to fold - something I know he did on purpose to piss me off & get out of helping with - kind of like his taking 4 hours to cut a lawn the size of a postage stamp & whining and bitching like it was 3 football fields, taking water/phone breaks every 10 minutes just to piss me off enough to either do it myself or hire it done. 
... There's a reason he's my "ex." You might wanna watch out for that "don't let yourself go" item on your list. That goes both ways. Just because it's more acceptable for a man to age than a woman (I believe they call it "distinguished"), that doesn't mean it's acceptable to your wife for you to begin looking like you swallowed a keg, attempt to kiss her with hair visibly growing out of your nose and/or ears, need a bra for your man-boobs, try to get your toenail length into the Guinness Book of World Records, get lackadaisical regarding your overall hygiene - just bc you're married a while doesn't mean you stop showering or brushing your teeth on the weekends or other days off from work. ... Also, telling a woman not to "let herself go" is just another way of telling us to go out & buy loads of more female crap. As we get older, there are many more issues to address to maintain our youthfulness, and at least 10 products on the market for every one of those issues. We must try all of them to find which ones work.

I cook better than she does and have the pantry organized the way I want it to be. She didn't train me on anything, except I let her dress me for pictures and formal outings. She's a teacher, so often she is grading papers in the evening while I'm cooking dinner or paying bills. When she is off for the summer though, she picks up the majority of the household chores, since she is home all day and I'm not. We don't fight about taking care of the kid or chores very much, usually its more of a 'honey, I feel like I'm doing everything on this' and then 'ok, I will pitch in more'. Works both ways. Likewise when I'm in the mood and she isn't, I don't have to beg for it.

Of course it goes both ways. We exercise together and are both working to stay fit. It helps that she's 28 and looks 20, and I'm naturally thin,
but I guess we'll see in 10 years. We've only been married 3 years so far. My wife is half italian, and it all comes out if she thinks I've fricked up, which I will usually admit to. I don't hesitate from telling her (in a nice way) when I think she is going about something wrongly either.

Exactly what I though when I read that. I'm not missing the game for anyone except my kid, only if absolutely necessary. But since he's as big of a sports fan as I am - something I made sure that he got from me since his "dad" is like most females in the relationship regarding sports - there's not many reasons he'd miss a game either. ... One thing I've learned is never to trust a guy who doesn't care about sports as much as I do - there's just something unnatural about it. That's a definite red flag I overlooked; won't make that mistake again.

Yep, absolutely prefer to choose my own. But if he wants to buy some as a gift for me, I'll show him the piece I want & let him purchase it.

Yeah, I don't want him dying on me. It's hard enough finding someone as it is.
I do want the person I'm seeing to be interested in the things that interest me & in what I say. I take a genuine interest in his activities & am attentive to his convo regarding those things. I expect him to show the same respect in return.

I love this sentiment from men - as if it is impossible for them to "let themselves go."

If it was women doing the conditioning we'd live in sweatpants and never shave our legs in the winter. Just sayin'.
Yeah, We're definitely not spending all of that money & filling up valuable space with all of the "beauty" & "youth maintenance" crap we continually purchase for female co-workers' attention. ... And OMG, sweatpants only & no shaving in winter sounds incredible. Frickin men & their expectations.

I'm not a neat freak, but I generally try to keep things tidy. If I do make a mess, I try to clean it in a reasonable amount of time. I was a complete and total slob when I was a teenager. My room and car were absolute wrecks!
Hubs (whom I love dearly), on the other hand, will leave dirty dishes in the sink (without checking to see if there's room in the dishwasher) and multiple pairs of shoes in the living room.
My biggest gripe, however, is that he's basically turned our entire guest bedroom into his closet. There are dirty clothes on the floor and the bed. There are piles of clean clothes stacked everywhere. He has 2 closets and 2 dressers and still can't manage to keep his clothes put away.
