The last few women I have dated complained about it constantly, sometimes multiple times in a short conversation and multiple messages in a text convo.

I am referring mostly to women in their 20's and 30's who are otherwise healthy. It did not or does not appear to be the same issue with generations much older. My mom's generation and her mom's generation are/were in a different league. V12 engines so to speak! This isn't just my family, we all talk about it with the guys all the time. These older women are like machines in all aspects. Work, housework, cooking/cleaning/laundry etc, gardening, raising children/grandchildren, fixing things around the house, shopping, taking care of almost everything, volunteering at community events.

In previous generations, the traditional household had the male be the business equivalent of a CEO in terms of final decision, setting household strategy and more. The female mom/grandma was like the COO, making sure everything runs like clockwork and getting everything into line.

I am in awe of these older women and how much they are/were able to do. Life used to be really really difficult from a overall work perspective and people having much larger families years ago. We have it so easy in a lot of ways.

It's not like the usual reasons for being exhausted didn't apply to previous generations like work, kids, homework, cooking/cleaning, housework, sports activities and more. They did and in a lot of cases, a lot more.

Just an observation and wondering what it could be? Perhaps women also feel that young men these days do the same thing? I don't know!

no, I am a ####ing joy to live with and provide a rejuvenating wellspring of youth for my wife.
