>>>A woman does not want her sole purpose in life to be to *make a man happy*. If that’s what you’re looking for, you can continue to expect to have trouble finding someone.
If men are just looking for someone to wait on them and cater to them, they they ought to just hire a housekeeper. That just sends a signal to women that the man is selfish and self-serving. No woman wants to wait on a man who sits in front of the TV vicariously living his dream life with a beer in one hand, a remote in the other, and yelling at the stupid referee who’s blind as a bat.<<<
Yeah I kind of expect a woman to prioritize making her husband (me) happy to the extent of keeping a clean house. Being frugal, modest and cooking good meals. I can be single if I have to share the housework and have a 50/50 marriage.
But lady seriously your comment is a bit much. I said many things. You picked one comment, imagined I meant something I did not say and then complained about that.
As for my expectations, they are typical for men my age or older. You ought to appreciate that. Hand in hand with a traditional view is that a man will be the breadwinner. That allows a woman the freedom to stay home with the kids with they are young. And to take off a day of work when they are older but sick.
I think the best approach is 100/100. Each spouse tries to give 100%. I just prefer to do that in gender defined roles. Apparently from the original article, there aren’t enough guys willing to marry all these “amazing” women. They can always enjoy their one night stands and come home to a cat or dog.
I have no problem with traditional roles, but that does, IMO, include the men taking more initiative to date his wife and still treat her like she’s special to him.
Wait.... that still sounds like you expect the woman to work full time plus do all the cooking and cleaning once the kids are older.
