Both are worthy of respect

It depends on how THEY feel about their contribution.
If being a housewife makes them feel suppressed, then I’d encourage them to go and spread their wings and pursue what they want to pursue. I’ll be supportive of them as long as our relationship remains a top priority.
If being a housewife makes them feel fulfilled, and working a job feels soul-draining and running a business stresses them out, then I’m supportive of that lifestyle too. But again, our relationship still must be a top priority—I don’t want to feel like I’m just an ATM—I want to feel loved and appreciated for working hard on my career to provide for both of us.
What I personally prefer is a sort of middle-ground where we are both working from home (remotely) for our own respective businesses, so that we can easily spend time together and work alongside each other.
That way, it’ll be much easier to make time for each other, and if anything tragic happens, like an unsuspected illness or death, the other partner is not immediately in financial trouble.
Another alternative is that the housewife is perfectly capable of finding work and making a good living, but has decided to take the housewife role because that’s what fulfills them the most. I’d want them to take that route because they CHOOSE to, not because they have no options and are unable to do otherwise.
That way, even if I were to have an untimely death, I’d be confident that they can still take care of themselves and I won’t have to worry about their well-being while I’m unable to be with them.
So, in an old fashioned traditional, the homemaker vs. the finical provider...
So as a man if she wants to be a homemaker and not work... then yes when comes to money the finical provider gets the final say... but he leaves his woman wanted for nothing emotionally and physically.
In a traditional role as homemaker. they get final say on all things related to the home and family... but again she leaves her man wanting for nothing physically needs and emotionally. Cooking cleaning and all that.
If she works, then no 50/50 at home and finically.
What men ABSOLUTLY do not want is a homemaker that does not clean or cook and free loads.
And this why it does not work in the modern concept of the family values... because woman that do not want to work, and to pretend that they do not have to cater to their man in any way... but expect him to cater to her.
Well, if she is not earning money... and wants me to cater to her... yeah, she can get packing.
Before when I was a homebody and on dating apps, guys would criticize and reject me. Because of my level of income and not working.
Now that I am working, I’m too tired to respond to guys messages and to go on a date.
Too few of these women are shown the respect they deserve.
use it as a spring board to accuse. pathetic.
@strateguy632 nothing pathetic about it. Its true.
I was actually putting it nicely by giving a short answer that focused on men, not now that you want press the matter. Let’s talk about it. Men say that this is what they want, and that that’s fine. But what are they doing and preparing to earn and keep a woman who feels safe, secure, and respected in that role? Most men don’t earn enough money to have a housewife and they tend to lack the service skills needed to lead the family properly.

That depends. But I think more so the housewife because that’s what a lot of men like. They won’t really say it because they get bashed for what they like. They’re labeled as misogynist, she’s labeled as his slave lol when it comes to relationships men usually aren’t going to go for that girl who is a CEO, the strong, independent type because chances are she has masculine characteristics. Most men would pick the hot, cute girl working at McDonald’s who makes $15.00 an hour than a CEO. Men need a purpose in life. We need to be needed, when that’s not there there’s no point in being there. I’m not saying she had to stay at home in lingerie all day, cook for me, wash my clothes, give me sex when I need it, but I do like a girl who prefers to be in that type of relationship. That is why I have been w the girl I’m w now for 15 years. I work, she stays home, takes care of the house, the dogs, cooks, cleans. But that’s her choice, not cause I told her she had to.
That’s awesome man! How does a guy find such a woman in today’s society?
They’ve all virtually been brainwashed into being career women
I respect honesty, integrity, and consistency. I make enough to the point that it's unlikely I'm going to meet a woman who makes more than me. I don't care whether she works so longs as she stays passionate about something. Because life without goals to work towards is no life at all. I'm kind of passed the child raising stage of life. So it's kind of irrelevant for me. But if you're asking when I was younger. First of all I wasn't as financially well off then. So it probably would have required her working if she wanted a higher standard of living. But otherwise I wouldn't have cared. Once again as long as she's stays passionate about something. Every relationship dynamic is different. But two people who love and care for eachother challenge eachother to be better (in a healthy supportive way of course).
not "or" i must respect all people. i prefer my wife took care of our kids instead of nanny or oper or whatever you call the one who sits with the children.
also consider the added expense for day care until a parent comes home.
option C. Either
I'm fine with a member of the relationship being a stay at home whatever, so long as it doesn't put the two in a financial pinch. i think people's roles in a relationship should be defined most by the needs of the relationship. people should do what is best for the relationship.
so i respect OR prefer a person who will do what's best for the relationship.
Traditionally in Asia or Africa, men have never asked homemakers for an income, their contribution is their income. That is why in times of divorce they are awarded proportion of a man's assets and net worth. Respect is a subjective word, there are duties and obligations. A man shows his respect by providing, going out working and bringing home the resources for his family.
Women having to work is what has fundamentally broken down the western society imho. Mother's are the best to influence our kids. No longer are the canteens full of mothers, and the school boards are stacked full of ideological driven people without kids.
Nothing has my respect more than a mother of a old school nuclear family.
the housewife/homemaker more often than not
for the hardworking humble woman that depends on what her job is because there are definitely jobs out there where she can't be humble
I suppose that depends on what "humble" is to you
is being humble to you boasting about one's achievements/ being overconfident or a being kind, shy and a respectful individual/ treating people as equals despite achieving more than them?
I would say the latter is more akin to being humble though equals is necessary. only respect is necessary
I don't mind if someone boasts provided they can back up their claims and aren't using their position to disrespectful those they consider beneath them
some jobs are extremely competitive and in order to stay, one must compete and therefore sell themselves more than usual.
sorry was meant to say *is being humble to you NOT boasting about one's achievement
In my defence it was 3am when I wrote that
But yeah I get your point
I thought men hated so called "boss women" but i guess if you've earned the fanfare you deserve to bask in it
Most men want a housewife. It's in their nature to want to provide for their woman. Only a broke or lazy man would make their woman work
Yes I believe that all men respect a woman who works a full-time or a part-time job when she has children to help her husband out because it takes two incomes to live here in Oceanside, CA and also every where someone lives.
Either way, f^ck that degenerate place
I could go either way. I care far more about how she is with spending money. Seen too many guys marry women with champagne tastes despite their beer budget.
Absolutely. That's the reason I write tennis player Elena Rybakina daily, and don't speak with American females... it's not that she's rich, or a world class cutie pie... but if she wanted to be as arrogant as 99 percent of American baby mommas are... she EASILY could be... but she's not. She's humble, kind... and that makes me want to be humble around a person like that.
I prefer A a bit more than B but I think guys respect both if they can see her effort and if they live in a balanced relationship that isn´t one is only giving and the other one only taking.
It's not a choice, kiddo. If the guy is the breadwinner, he'll want a wifey. If he's not, then he'll want a trophy wife.
How will a guy get a trophy wife if he's not the breadwinner? Like what's your definition of a trophy wife?
Don't you need to be rich to get a trophy wife?
ROFL. In today's economy a guy would be stupid to have that sort of approach. But then stupider men think living pay check to pay check scrambling to pay bills and forcing their children to suffer due to lack is acceptable
the second one but i believe that yoy do what makes yoy happy but family and spouse should comes first
I say the hardworking and humble type because now days it's hard to pay the bills on your own when you have a family to feed
Men sometimes don't want to have to be the ones to pay for everything they might want their wife to from time to time so I think they would want a hardworking wife
You hit the nail on the head.
This is why I had my answer fuse the 2, you need the dual income from option A to care for a family like in option B, and splitting bills 50/50 is definitely a must.
That’s BS. My family is full of housewives and men that earn good enough money to afford nice luxuries
@WhiteBoyChill it's not bs, most jobs do not afford that luxury. Your family is an exception do to unusually high pay.
Then guys need to work harder
@WhiteBoyChill No, wages need to be appropriate for the current economy.
Most people are overworked by a large magin, and still cannot even make rent without help.
Today's wages for most laborer jobs are disgustingly low, especially in the service industry, which does not even get minimum wage. Its as close to slave labor as one can be without including threats or voiding the paycheck entirely.
margin*
@TheSpaceGnome Than people should’ve known to elect a business leader like Trump instead of an incompetent fool like Biden.
People are digging their own graves
@WhiteBoyChill Well first off, he was president already, and that didn't fix any of the problems I mentioned. Second, he is known for not paying people for jobs he hires them for, so I don't see him ever fixing those problems. Third, he did not get elected by the public, no one gets elected by the public, they are all chosen by rich people, voting is a sham. Fourth, the president is not actually in charge of what bills get signed passed, the rich are (though it should be the public who gets to decide).
@TheSpaceGnome Trump signed tax cuts. And I noticed it in my paycheck. The economy was doing well and wages were rising
I would respect both if they are doing their part in the relationship.
Well if it's prefer then my preference would depend on the circumstance. I'm not going to want to be with someone who wants to just be a stay at home wife when we don't have any kids. I'm not going to bash any woman for wanting to be a housewife either but it's just not what I want personally. So I would prefer someone who has their own income.
Id prefer she has a decent income , far too difficult these days otherwise.
Both.
Puts less pressure on the dude if there's two incomes
