Most women’s idealized partner would be ‘the perfect provider’- a man who unconditionally loves them, and who provides them with everything they need and desire, providing all the emotional, physical and monetary support in the world so that they themselves never have to do anything for themselves or worry about anything ever again. And many women don’t just idealize this notion that men are there to be their providers, and that as women, they have an intrinsic right to be provided for. They demand it, refusing to contemplate being with a man who doesn’t cater for their every need and desire so that they don’t have to. More than half of women in surveys, even those in high-earning careers, say that they’d never consider a man as a suitable partner unless he’s earning substantially more than they do. AND more educated than she is. AND at least 3 inches taller than she is. The list goes on.
And while men may earn significantly more than women, it’s still also the case than more than 80% of family household expenditure in the USA is controlled and spent by women. And this is seen as being perfectly fair, glorified and idealized. Isn’t this a classic living-on-benefits mentality? How is it any less entitled to ‘live off your man’ than it is to live off state benefits? The gender pay gap split is roughly 56%/44%, in favor of males, and slowly decreasing; but the gender spending gap split is roughly 20%/80%, in favor of females, and still seems to be either holding steady or on the rise. So why is this the case? Why are women so entitled? Why do men owe women everything, while women owe men nothing in return? And what's the point of trying? I can't ever provide any woman EVERYTHING, no matter how hard I try; no man ever can. So should I just give up and consign myself to being alone forever? OR consign myself to being dumped or cheated on, the instant that I can't provide any woman with any single thing she wants in the spur of the moment?
