Well, there's one problem right there.
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.
Does it ever occur to men that THEY aren't Mr. America's either? THEIR appearance plays a role in it as well.
For all the complaints about how women look and let themselves go, and are fat, men ought to take a good hard look in the mirror and check the belt size.
Many women have trouble with their weight as a result of child bearing.
I don't see that as an excuse any men can appeal to. So what is their excuse except for too much beer?
And when did men get this mentality that they can have the free and easy life while the women cook and clean for them are are expected to be ready to hop in the sack any time the man wants?
How many men give women a reason to WANT to have sex with them?
Marriage is not a one side or the other relationship where one does all the heavy lifting and the other goes along for the ride.
BOTH sides need to be more realistic about what it takes to be in that kind of relationship.

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 made it my purpose in life to make my wife happy.
She made it her purpose to make me happy.
We live for each other and do what we do for the love of each other, and making the love of your life happy is first and foremost goal.
Married for 38-yrs.
