62% of Dominant Women Say Housework is Their Favourite Task to Delegate—Here’s Why It’s a Power Move in FLR

In our recent survey of Dominant Women we asked: “What element of everyday life do you enjoy delegating the most in an FLR?” The top result? housework!

Well, well, well—what do we have here? A chart that tells us exactly what smart, dominant women already knew: housework isn’t just a chore; it’s an opportunity. According to this survey, a juicy 61.8% of dominant women say housework is their favourite task to delegate. And if that number doesn’t get your attention, it should, darling. Because it’s not just about who’s scrubbing the floors, it’s about something much bigger: power dynamics, leadership, and, yes, even attraction.

Dominant Women Say Housework is Their Favourite Task to Delegate

First, let’s talk about why delegating household chores is not just a matter of practicality, but of power. Housework is often undervalued, seen as a tedious necessity. But in the right hands, it becomes a symbol—a flex, if you will—of control and efficiency. The woman who delegates these tasks isn’t just getting out of doing the dishes; she’s exercising leadership. She’s saying, “I’ve got bigger things to think about,” and assigning the day-to-day operations to someone who, let’s be honest, should already be doing their part.

Why Men Need to Get With the Program

Men, it’s time to adjust. The era of coming home from work, collapsing on the couch while your woman takes care of everything is dead and gone. No, what’s sexy now is a man who doesn’t just help with housework—he owns it. There’s nothing more attractive than a man who recognizes that running a household takes skill, discipline, and attention. A man who can whip up dinner, handle laundry, and maintain a sparkling clean space? Now that’s a keeper.

Why is this important? Because we are no longer in relationships where the exchange is “breadwinner for homemaker.” Today’s relationship is built on mutual respect, and respecting her leadership means contributing in a way that aligns with her vision. That 61.8% is a clear indicator that dominant women want a man who knows how to serve—not just in the bedroom, but also in the daily running of life. And what better way to serve than by making her life easier, cleaner, and more organised?

Single Men: Here’s Your Action Plan

Single and ready to mingle? Then, gentlemen, it’s time to up your game, and I don’t mean buying her drinks. You need to come to the table (literally and figuratively) with domestic skills. Think of it as part of your dating portfolio. Sure, you’ve got a great job, and yes, you work out—but do you know how to iron a shirt or organise a grocery list? If not, you’re behind.

Here’s why: women today are looking for partners who make their lives better, not add more to their plate. If you can’t run a vacuum or handle the mundane parts of life, you’re not positioning yourself as a valuable partner. You’re positioning yourself as another task to manage.

So, start learning. Whether you’re living alone or with roommates, take pride in a well-kept space. Understand that mastering these skills isn’t just about impressing someone; it’s about showing that you’re capable of pulling your weight. Nothing screams “relationship material” more than a man who can effortlessly contribute to a household, without having to be asked twice.

Add one of these statements to your dating profile to let your future partner know you are ready to work hard to please her:

• “Looking for a queen to lead the way. I’ll take care of the housework while you focus on whatever brings you joy.”
• “I find fulfillment in making my partner’s life easier, starting with a clean home and ending with whatever else you need.”
• “My ideal relationship? You set the standards, and I’m more than willing to meet them, whether that means cooking, cleaning, or anything else you desire.”

The Symbolism Behind Housework

Now, for the women reading this, let me share a little secret: housework is symbolic. It’s about care, attention to detail, and the ability to contribute. But as leaders, we get to set the terms. Delegating housework allows us to ensure that our needs and priorities are met. It sends a message: “I know my value, and I expect my partner to contribute in ways that enhance my life.”

By handing off those everyday tasks, you’re freeing yourself to focus on the bigger picture. You’re reinforcing that your time and mental energy are too precious to be spent scrubbing floors. And honestly, it also gives you the opportunity to see who’s willing to step up and prove they’re worth keeping around.

Single Women: Never do housework again

For the women who know exactly what they want and are ready to let potential suitors know that a man who’s ready to serve is what they’re after, here are some perfectly crafted lines. These will make it clear that you are looking for a man who’s eager to handle all the housework—and do it with a smile.

• “If you’re the kind of man who loves to handle the housework while I relax and lead the way, we’re going to get along just fine.”
• “I’m happiest when I don’t have to lift a finger. If you’re the type who loves to make life easier for a strong woman, I’m all ears.”
• “Seeking a man who knows his role is to support me—starting with housework and ending with whatever else I ask.”
• “If you enjoy doing all the housework while I sip wine and watch you work, we might be a perfect match.”

The Takeaway: Delegation as Empowerment

So here’s the bottom line: delegating housework is not about being lazy. It’s about creating a dynamic where both partners contribute, but in a way that plays to their strengths. For the woman who leads, it’s about showing her partner that serving her is part of the relationship equation. And for men? It’s about learning that true partnership is found in the small, everyday acts of care—like folding the laundry, cooking dinner, or taking charge of cleaning.

This isn’t a trend—it’s the new reality. And trust me, the sooner men catch on, the sooner they’ll find themselves standing out in a sea of would-be partners. Because a man who understands the value of housework is a man who understands the value of a woman’s leadership. And that, darling, is the secret to keeping her attention.
