It can be defined as a woman who wants to work primarily from home, as well as tidying up the place, doing home maintenance stuff, decorating the place, etc.
I don’t want to think it means a woman who just wants to stay home all day because I don’t know any woman who would want to do that as that would be insanely boring after a few weeks tops.
I think it’s better if she had some goal, some job that she is passionate about so that she can feel useful and purposeful everyday.
Work isn’t bad, but the wrong type of work for someone can seriously cause burnout early and stress someone out to the point that it shortens their life.
Ideally I would like a S. O. who was home more. To deal with the daily household maintain. But still had some form of their own income. Maybe a part time job or something they could do from home. So they don’t go crazy being stuck at home all the time.
That way they have their own spending money for things they want or need. Without having to ask me for money. To buy personal items. But I would still handle the bulk of the household bills.
But they could also chip in on bills during tough times. Maybe just save money for a rain day fund or a vacation fund for our family.
No, I don’t want either of us to be the sole provider in the relationship. We should both be working and contributing to communal expenses, and a guy with little to no career ambition is very unattractive to me. It’s important that he sets high goals for himself.
No, I’m a pessimistic person that’s seen a lot of things. If my husband dies or leaves me I want to at least have an income of my own to take care of myself and my children.
Back when I was open to that kind of serious dating, I'd have preferred a SO who had her own income, but I was open to providing her with a stay-at-home lifestyle if it was her preference. Particularly because most women near my age would be single moms; and being there for her kids is important. I'm not rich, but my income was / is sufficient to support a family.
I've come to realize in the meantime though, that if you look at it from her point of view, how could she possibly not mistake that kindness for weakness? Moreover, is there really any difference? Or is that just a distinction without a difference? In any case, in the real world starting off like that is just a recipe for disaster.
If she wanted to be a stay at home mom if we had kids that’d be perfect and I would actually prefer one of us at home to raise the kids correctly. But if I was dating a girl who just wanted to get married and then stay at home and not do shit all day lol uh no
I dunno probably not don't how you pay bills and shit like that and them not having there own money just kinda runs into problems if they want to buy something. But cannot say i love doing Chores around the house so them doing all of them might be good tbh. Not bad always having a clean home and not doing any of that yourself.
Oh that's a really interesting question I would like to see women here answer it lmao
I am sure many will take the politically correct way and say " yes , why not. No problem with a house-husband"
But deep down you know no woman wants that. That's not very manly and that's certainly not attractive. Maybe they can accept it if it's short term let's say he got fired for a few months or his business went bust but we all know no woman would agree to such an arrangement from a long term perspective.

See. one of the hypocrite even disliked the comment
In these times lol both should work to maintain a good family and resource and funds raising a child is not a Joke responsibilities to be fulfilled needs money. If being house wife is demeaning so why it's not demeaning to be house husband it's like people are ok with being it vice versa unless they are being dragged over it
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 if you had a good job and you could afford it not a problem. But there are some people that if they didn't have a partner that didn't work they would not succeed or survive. I guess it really depends on whether you are selfish or you truly have a good heart lol
Yes! I'd consider that. It's not a deal breaker for me. But if we were struggling where I did not have a job, if like her to get a job if we were dire straits but I'd try to keep her stay at home as much as I could
I'd fine with it as long as they're fine with working too. If our children are young and we're able to afford it, then if she wants to be a stay-at-home mother I'd be fine with it for decent amount of years until they're going to school.
I require a partner with drive. If they want to start and run a home business, I'll support them, but they'd better be contributing to our shared life.
No. Because I don't really want to be with someone whose goal is to stay at home all the time. I prefer a woman who has her own career (or at least a job.). I mean, I work, so why shouldn't she work as well? It's an equal partnership.
yes if they are serious about it! It is a tough job if done right. I stay home but work from home but girlfriend says when we have children I will have to look after them too. But we are not even married just living together for almost 3 months, so I don't think we will have a child anytime soon lol.
Only if she worked part time she needs to buy some of the things on her own. I can’t buy her every little thing she wants. Been there and done that before
