Gone are the days where women picked up all the slack in the home. As a man, you need to be willing to do your share of the house work. Cooking, cleaning, washing, and tidying are all part of maintaining a clean home, and if you don't know your way around these tasks, you might be ditched sooner than you expected. A man who knows how to run a household is extremely attractive in this day and age!
If you don't know how to do these things, just be honest and willing to learn. Or, get one of your family members or friends to give you a quick training session on some of the cleaning basics. Really, there's no valid excuse not to be doing your own laundry and dishes if you're a grown man.
