How to get men to do more DIY

I won't list the site, but can this really work or will the men just watch the videos ?

____________________________________

A new website aims to encourage men to do household chores - by offering instruction videos featuring scantily clad models

Boring tasks such as unshrinking clothes and changing a car tyre are demonstrated by lingerie-clad girls.


Other jobs tackled in the videos include waxing a surf board, removing gaffer tape, preventing bathroom mirrors steaming up during a shower and changing guitar strings.


As well as getting the girls to demonstrate the techniques, it also provides a list of tools needed to complete the tasks.


The site is the brainchild of US video producer Alex Merriman, 26, who says he wanted to provide a fun and informative experience for viewers.

If the producer wanted to make money through selling sex, there were many other brilliant ideas..

How about sending those PYTs to the male viewers' places for live demonstration?

Where in my post I said I have a hubby? You either need to get your eyes fixed or stop having delusions about it.BTW, "I don't need scantily clad women dressed in some lingerie to give me lessons on how to help my mother".Based on that statement, I asked if Chippendales worked for ya iso women!?!?!?

true said Fatimah, i mean the skinny gurls in 'em funny under wears are just disgusting  and self-degarding to watch it. I don't need scantily clad women dressed in some lingerie to give me lessons on how to help my mother /:

Are those scantily clad ones on offer too, like the paid dating types, for DIY...:) kindly provide the link...

Sex sells! IMO  such websites are quite degrading for both men and women. Dosen't say a lot about a man who needs sexual gratification from cheap thrills to learn basic chores,does it? *shudders*

In Doha when you can get someone to do it for a nominal amount, who cares about "DIY" :-(That said, I do most of the chores myself, unless it's electrical stuff, then I need the local malabari electrician to do it :-)

You're right. I was focusing so much on "the instructor" that I ruined my stretch briefs :O(

Risk,Brit is right, In addition...DIY is related to some household works/chores that can be fixed or done by yourself instead of bringing to the shop or ask/pay someone to do it for you.understant .... lol :)

DIY - Do it yourself.

Example - Removing the Karak Chai (or other) stains from your Lungi yourself, rather than taking it to the laundry.
