Why do men not care if their girlfriends/wives live freely off of them? (Page 2)

[OfMiceandMen]

I have no clue why someone would think it's okay to live off another person. Just seems like pure laziness to me, which is not exactly a redeeming quality.

My parents taught me that I have to contribute to the cause and they also said that whomever I date/marry should too.

[Billlewis]

I don't mind because, number one it's required, if I want to be with an attractive woman, and two, if she's mean enough to do that, then there's probably a good chance that she'll be sufficiently mean and demanding in other ways. As is the case with the penis questions, my answer will always be the same -- nice women aren't generally well versed at keeping me in line, but a mean, selfish bitch goddess will be highly unlikely to have any difficulty in that regard.

You're confused

A "wife" and "girlfriend" are not even close to the same category. It's like saying a raw cake mix is "basically a professional cake"

As for your assertion. A weak man will let anyone "freely" live off them be it his mother, sister or partner.

That's been the social standard for thousands of years. As a guy, you can be smart, hardworking, educated, talented, and have creative hobbies but if you can't provide, girls will not date you. On the opposite you can be an absolute douche and many girls will flock to you if you have wealth. She gets a great lifestyle, he gets to have fun and sex... mutual benefit.

If you have ever studied higher math... there is something called necessary and sufficient conditions. Money for men is the necessary condition, however, depends on the girl it can be either sufficient too or not sufficient.

Most men understand there are several ways to pull in value to a relationship, some are beyond bringing in money. Such men are not being duped or stupid, they just see value in what she does do.

If there isn't some perceived value in either partner, the relationship won't last.

It isn't a right. It is a privilege extended to a very special woman by a man that loves her so very much that he wants to protect her from the hardships of the world and provide for her and any children they may have.

My wife contributes by running the house and making sure I don't have to do anything after working for 12 to 16 hours a day.

Living freely? My wife takes care of almost everything except producing income. If she were working I would either have to do a good bit of the things she currently does, or we would have to pay someone to do it.

It's not "living freely of of them" if the wives/girlfriends are working around the home, doing the dishes and the laundry, etc. My wife works part time and earns a lot less than I do, but she takes care of most of the house chores and I take care of the yards, the cars, the finances and house upkeep and improvements, etc. She'll quit her job when we start having kids.

[ProbablyClueless]

The idea is that the woman is earning her keep through maintaining the house and caring for the children.

😇This is sooooo true! So glad that I got my inheritance restored. By the grace of God.✝️

[RetroReviews]

I would say the news media and Hollywood, and the governments are partly to blame it's a years of being bombarded with the propaganda has an effect

[sawno]

We enjoy being providers for those we love. Tradition as old as time and we do it out of love so that she can life a stress free life.

[NathanDavis]

never had this happening... not a thing for me

[DJB72]

A Real man cares if he can't work so his wife can live off what he makes.

[Telekinetic-Potato]

If the woman is doing what she's supposed to be doing, I think most men who can afford it would prefer it.

[itsclearlynicholas]

I would prefer my girlfriend or wife to work. Even a friends with benefits to work. Even casual or part time. Why? Work uniforms are hot, and it gives her something to do/relate to society 😕😔 lol 😆

[itsclearlynicholas]

And as for me having to work, and I've worked many jobs even before 30, I for one find it passes the time and helps me rush through life ahahaha and pay taxes along the way ✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻☮️😋👌🏻👀

[David_Kek]

Why do women not care if their boyfriends/husbands routinely have sex with them even if not that much in the mood?
We all have our imprisoning gender roles.

[shortster]

Well if she is taking care of the home; it seems like an equitable division of labor. Though it can become disequitable depending on how much house work there is and if he and/or the kids are contributing to its completion.

There are lots of ways to give to one another. Don’t nickel and dime everything; that’s not a relationship, it’s a business.
