Men said they spent 13 hours a week on household chores including cleaning the lavatory, taking out the rubbish and changing the bed linen.
But 60 per cent of the 1000 men questioned said their efforts were unnoticed by the woman in their lives because they did not like to make a fuss.
Almost half said they felt women were more prone to showing off about the amount of housework they take on.
The task most men said they did was taking out the rubbish – with 85 per cent claiming credit. Carrying the shopping bags was the second most popular chore among men, with 80 per cent saying they take the weight off their wife's shoulders.
Food shopping came in third place – with 78 per cent saying they are responsible for restocking the fridge each week.
The research by Dove, the beauty brand, found men spend 4.7 hours a week on housework as well as 1.5 hours on DIY and 6.9 hours on childcare.
Paul Connell, brand manager of Dove Men Care, said: "Our research shows that modern men are becoming more vocal about the contribution they make in the home, and the popular stereotype of men doing nothing around the house is no longer accurate."
Join with me in laughing hysterically.
They did not make a fuss? The Boyfriend once folded a blanket before leaving my place and EMAILED me to make sure that I noticed that he'd folded the blanket.
Carrying the shopping bags is considered a chore? Huh..
Ok give it to me straight. Do you agree, disagree, does your man expect a Nobel Peace Prize when he manages to put his socks in the laundry basket?

No, sadly it is I looking for the Nobel Peace Prize. Or even a "good job, honey." I'd even settle for the discontinuation of the phrase, "you never do anything except smoke, read or watch TV."
Actually things have changed here, the criticism has ceased and we both thank and appreciate. I still think he's make someone a very good wife.
