Men these days are required to be the breadwinner and the housewife.
All the men here don't insist this and no one in real life is mandating these things. You're blowing this out of proportion. Who cares what people online say
Every men on GAG hasn't said that.
Don't judge everyone on the basis of some people's opinion.
I for one believe that if a woman has a job she can be more self dependent which helps the family in the long run.
both are required by state law, a man who doesn't work justify divorce. else not justified.
Same reason women say they want a traditional man but aren’t traditional theirselves w X amount of kids out of wedlock. Not a virgin, etc, etc. Because they can.
I don't want a housewife or someone who expects me to be some sort of provider. I want someone who wants ME for my personality and body.
I don't recall wanting a housewife. Learn something new everyday.
i think it is pretty fair that if you expect a traditional woman you should be a traditional man, so you got a point
You know what would partially fix the inflation?
Women exiting the workforce.
If there's less people to choose from, employers will have to increase wages to get workers.
Or our clueless leader could stop spending and printing money at record speed.
@Baredog69 or stop outsourcing manufacturing
thats why we are complaining about feminism all the time. What do you think happens to wages if u double the working pool... 70s 80s 90s Women enter the workforce and pretty much ruin society in the process
Same reason why men are required to be adequate breadwinners while women are not required to be housewives.
Firstly , not all men
Secondly, it's fine to judge based on finances up to a limit, not cool to expect the man to be the richest guy in town
there is no such thing as judging a man's finances to a limit. you can either support your family well or you can't. No woman would become a housewife just to struggle to put food on the table or struggle to save up for retirement.
That's what I said
It's ok to expect the man to earn well enough to support the whole family and save up for retirement
But unrealistic expectations are not cool
Can't expect him to earn what the top 1% men earn, cause that's the man 99% women want
well who wouldn't want the top 1% of all men?
what if there was the top 1% of the most beautiful girl in town? you wouldn't say you wouldn't want her.
True, but I can't keep comparing my wife/partner with her and blame her for not being in the top 1% if I wish to have a healthy relationship and family
don't even talk about top 1%, most men can't even make it to the top 25%
That's math, usually top 25% goes with the other top 25% ... the 75% from both sides are left out... maybe they'll get along with each other
most women have pretty low standards when it comes to dating. All my female friends are dating guys i personally would never date. Having high standards just keeps you single. The only reason why all these people are together is because they have low standards.
Well what's the reason you wouldn't date them? Appearance or financial?
both.
I've seen them date short guys, never a rich guy. I've seen them date drug dealers, losers with no jobs, weak men that i could never depend on to protect me, unattractive guys, guys with personality issues. the list just goes on...
i've rejected single dads, old guys, short guys, unattractive guys, rich guys with mental issues, man whores. its hard to find a man who can even come close to a being a full package.
Well your rejections sounds quite genuine except for maybe the short guy ones
Don't get me wrong, I am not short but I guess everyone has preferences
i have seen women marry a single dad with 5 kids who is also 20 years older.
something i personally would never ever do.
i wouldn't even go for a single guy 20 years older with no kids.
like i said, the lower your standards are, the more likely you would be married.
im not even expecting too much. i just want a guy who is at least mildly attractive (doesn't have to be a 9 out of 10). A guy who makes great money (not rich but has to be sufficient so i can quit my job for 5 years to take care of the kids), A guy without mental issues or character issues such as narcissism. Not a guy who is under 5'7'' Not a man whore. No kids.
even this is difficult to find.
Yeah that would be a bit too much lowering
That's understandable..!
Not wanting a short guy is similar to a man saying he doesn't want a fat woman. Its just the lack of physical attraction
Well poor short guy (or girl) can't do anything about it unlike a fat girl or guy , but I do get your point
Since when are women required to be housewives?
Women are required? Fix your question first and foremost
Anyone actually says that? How dull. What are you supposed to talk about?
The narrative they say today is they want an equal partnership where she works.
Trust me you don’t want their smoke.
Just find a provider and be done with it.
I am a man on gag and wouldn’t enjoy having my wife as a housewife. So not sure why you said all men
You're a little young to be born in 1952.😆😆😆 housewives?
I know you realize it's the 20's but know that's the 2020's not the 1920's.
You worry about the wrong things. If you want a breadwinner focus on a breadwinner
You better do some more research and rethink this question
