Because society puts unrealistic expectations upon women since the caveman days.
Nothing new.
Well said
not true at all. men were the ones put through unrealistic expectations to the point where only 20-30% of all men who have ever existed were able to pass on their genes with 80-90% of all women who have ever existed. humanity has far more female ancestors than male ancestors and women have actively engaged in their own version of eugenics
Add into that a foot massage when I come in and it's a pretty good list.
Ignoring this museum piece for a moment...
Who defines ''perfect''? The 'System'? ''Tradition''?
What do you know about American men or men in other countries? Stereotyping much?
How do you see American men.
@anna0983773. There are all different kinds from different cultures with different beliefs and values.
Yes. For example, there are many differences between Western and Eastern cultures.
@anna0983773. Right? And even the values beliefs, attitudes and behaviors among men within a given culture are diverse.
Yes. I totally agree with your concept. That's why I really enjoy travelling. I like to learn about different cultures. Trying the local cuisine.
@anna0983773. Me too!
Uhm no. I’d argue more that a woman just isn't marriage-worthy if she doesn’t meet these requirements.
The ordinary guy just working and bringing in enough money for the family is enough of a contribution on its own.
I don’t expect perfection, but I do expect effort equal to my own. If I’m really good to her I want her to be good to me. Men and women offer different things
What I'm trying to say is that the feelings are mutual. What you do to it is what it will do to you in return. It's mutual.
Loyalty, maturity, beauty, and sweetness is far from perfect, if they can't get all of those, that only shows how trashy society is today
No, they provided. A house and money that what women look for. In exchange the wife is at home cares about the house and children.
Better when people do things out of choice and free will- not obligation or “duty.”
Can you or can you not agree with this
We all do something in relationship that we don't want to do.
In the end we do things bc of duty etc otherwise every relationship would crumble
That's what happens when you expect a guy to take care of you. If you're paying to take care of someone they need to be a worthwhile investment.
Don't act like women don't. It's human nature to want a "perfect partner"
My wife is like this and we have been together for decades. It works for us. :)
Are you treating your wife like a babysitter.
@anna0983773 I am not sure what that means but I have screwed her when the kids weren’t around so it’s kind of like a baby sitter scenario. :). We have a a great relationship and the kids are grown. It’s an adult relationship but one that many women would like in that I lead and she is submissive. And that is not something I forced on her, if anything she simply defers to me. That doesn’t mean she never gets a say. On the contrary she is smart and has great insights but at the end of the day the final call is mine on decisions even if that means we go with her choice which happens often. I also leave the decisions regarding the kids to her as that’s not my strength.
Things hff have changed. Most women work now, hardly any did then.
Don’t expect them to be perfect. Just able to admit when they are wrong!
I don't think there are any perfect people in this world, no matter who they are, they all make mistakes at times. So it all depends on how you look at things.
Yes, I agree with what you have said. Because no one is perfect.
Excuse me, that article is long overdue! Do you have an updated one?
I don't. I don't expect a potential partner to have an education. I just want her to be sexy, and not be an gold digger or feminist.
So unrealistic to have a list. If guys don’t smarten up they will be alone
They don't. If anything the idea that men expect perfection does not support the fact that women initiate the majority of divorces.
If they were perfect they would know anything. It's men's imperfection that make them believe that women can be perfect
Bro. The guys wanting this couldn't even say Hi to a real woman.
I never did, just kind. And I’m still 0-3.
Kindness does not come with words. Some things are done to be seen by one's loved ones.
@anna0983773
When you’re on the receiving end of unkindness most of your adult life… you get a feel for it
