I will never marry a man that refuses to do at least 30% of the cooking, 50% of the cleaning and laundry, and 100% of the "fixing things".

unreasonable
expecting him to do 60% of stuff that's two-thirds girl work, ridiculous.
I think that's fairly reasonable. maybe 40% of the cleaning though. Depends.Cooking would be sweet though.
I'd say it is unreasonable to divide up things like that up front. It would be more flexible to say that you expect a man to "be able to cook and clean and knows when not to try and fix things".
The last is the most important - nothing like having to pay a large bill for something that was a small problem that was escalated by lack of domain-specific knowledge.
I think basically you're saying that if you were married and your spouse got home first, he'd be able to tidy up a little and make dinner, without resorting to a phone call.
Yeah mainly I just want someone who doesn't expect me to do all the cooking and cleaning. That kind of attitude made sense when most women were homemakers, but if we're both working similar hours I don't see any reason why the wife should have to take on more of those kind of responsibilities. Now I'm not very good at fixing things, that's why he only has to make (roughly of course) 30% of the meals. And I'm more than willing to do a fair share of the "hard labor" activities like mowing the lawn, painting, fixing the roof, etc. to the extent that I am physically capable.
