I want only career women. However there are plenty of guys, who really want a stay at home housewife (many of them dislike or even downright hate career women).
todays survival is all about the money 💵!
You're the only guy on this question with this opinion who I believe lol
@tallandsweet why is that? Why only me š?
Because you seem more confident than other guys and you really do care a lot about money.
@tallandsweet ššš alright. I will take that.
Hopefully women don't interpret me as being greedy (or a freeloader) because I'm not having that type of obsession over money. Hahaha!
ngl I'm disappointed in these statistics. in the end its what the wife chooses so. i honestly love the idea of a housewife, but if she has the chance to be off somewhere driven on her own i find that even more sexy. i enjoy sandwiches. >:3
I've live on my own for 3 year and have OCD so I can't have anyone do it for me becouse even no there effort is valid it wouldn't be right to the way I have it I'm a ambessions persion with music crearer and a bricklaying job so would love a career women so we could ride together and bulid together and be a boss togeather team work is everything
Who will raise your kids when your at work? childcare system? Strangers
Okay, bring on the down votes in 3..2..1...
So do women. I hate how people romintizise fuckboys
I think men just want women to respect and care for them again
Honestly couldn't care, as long as what they do makes them happy.
Men want to come home to freshly ironed sheets and warm home-made dinners, so of course they would like a housewife.
No thanks. I can iron my own stuff and cook for myself.
@ShineDJJ lol ofc u can. but wouldn't u want to have them done for u?
I'd appreciate it it, but I would not expect it out of my hypothetical wife.
@ShineDJJ are you saying that you will do all the cooking and cleaning when you get married? and what do u expect from your wife to do? do u want her to just stay at home and do nothing? or do u expect her to be just career-driven? how about your future kids? who is going to take care of them?
In the best case scenario, we're rich enough to hire housekeepers. Until then, we split the chores. I don't plan to reproduce, but we will use birth control until we're in an optimal spot where we're able to handle both work, family leave, and children. We'll also split the responsibility in that situation.
That would also mean women wants to stay home and have their husband giving them money anytime that's why they want a working husband so your point is?
What would you prefer to be a career driven woman or a house wife?
@davids88 I want to work and follow my career, but also want to be able to do the house work too. I don't want to leave any of them behind, so hopefully I will find the time for both of them.
Nah, I'd prefer someone career driven and intelligent. I have no interest in marrying someone who's life goals are stay at home and look after children. But that's just me.
Kind of in the middle gray area. Dunno if I would expect her to have a career or be a true housewife. Boils down to who had the better job and can we afford to have one of us stay at home to maintain the house / family.
I say I would rather have a housewife. I'm a pretty hard worker and I can maintain a little family so I would like to have my woman home and focus on her own stuff.
(the ones that say they don't are just cucked appeasers who think this opinion will get them in bed with loose women... SPOILER ALERT IT FKING WORKS XD)
Huh?
Every man who is confident in himself either wants or is totally okay with having a house wife. There are a number of men, these days, however, who are not confident in themselves, and they seek to appease women, not impress them, in order to get in their pants. The women that are impressed by this stuff just so happen to also be the ones who put out easily, so it works out for the dudes, which is why you have 50% of men voting against the housewife thing.
No women actually wants to end up with one of these men XD a man who fears he can't support a family on his own financially is not very impressive
I do agree that it is some fear that they cannot fully financially provide. I also think upbringing those who had strong mothers and no father figure are more than likely to be opposed to it. Those who had the joy of a mom who stayed home and focused all her attention on the family and a strong father figure will more than likely want to be like dad.
Yeah pretty much all boils down to that at the end of the day. That's why they had to send all the men off to war multiple times to push feminism through a century ago
It's all so they could tax people more and get pay rates to be half by having two people at work for price of one.
Go fucking respect your wifes decision
@Warmapplecrumple what is the difference if a person pay taxes for two people or two people pay only one taxes? How do they profit by doing that?
@Shamamien why are afraid of caarer indepedent women? Only little boys want housewife so they can be babysitted by their own wifes
@kim45456 hey kim, hereās a thought, fuck off into your career and let the real, desirable woman want what they will, plenty of men are happy with a stay at home wife and if the ladies wanna be one, what say do you have in it? Ur such a triggered feminist, the ladies in this thread do not like you, I donāt like you either, so do us all a favor
Then fuck off and stop insulting men who preferes caarer and is happy a caarer woman. You are the only cuck
Who tf are you to call my potential husband a cuck only because he is not afraid of caarer and indepedent women. I also dont call your potential partner a slut for staying at home and geting provided by you for sex and for doing some little housechoures
You little fag insult men who preferes caarer women and women who women does not want to be financially dependent on men. Who tf are you to decide which women are more desirable. Look at you, you ate going zo be 40, and still single. You are the one who is triggered by indepedent women
You little fag insult men who prefere caarer women and women who do not want to be financially dependent on men. Who tf are you to decide which women are more desirable. Look at you, you are going to be 40, and still single. You are the one who is triggered by indepedent women
Kim be nice, itās ok to have and share different opinions. We are all different
whatever she wants to be doesn't bother me as long as she's with me, personally would prefer to stay home with the kids because of my childhood to make sure they don't end up like me but either way
@blackxbarbiex01 you are only 13. It's easy to say things. You don't know yet the harsh realities of life. I hope you won't bump into a scenario of having kids with no one to take care of it.
Not the submissive housewife, but surely a supportive one, that listens to you when you come home from work stressed out. My now-ex wife didn't do that all days, she blamed me letting me stressed. Feels bad!
A woman with purpose in life. Not some who just wants the most £££/recognition she can get, but someone who does something for people, has something to wake up for and it's not only me.
No kids are going to be involved, so there's no reason to be " a housewife". She should do something she loves to do. If that's raising kids, we won't end up together.
It will really depend on the guy. Some guys prefer houswives, others prefer career driven.
Have a career by all means - but if you can't navigate the chores something's too wrong. Royals know how to wash the dishes, let's stop the fake princess syndrome.
Just wondering what you think, is there a problem if you can't navigate the chores?
@Coolfred Well it's fake - if Bill Gates proudly shows he does it, or the Dutch king - surely Disney princesses can notice they are cartoon characters?
What if her career make more than yours and she hardly home wouldnāt that mean you should be doing most of the house work?
@sunshinet123 What else do you think I'd be doing?
It completely depends on the man
No it depends on the woman. Whether she is strong enough to stand up for herself or whether she can be kept small and live a worthless life as a housewife and cleaning slave. Everyone is responsible for their own life.
Why would she be worthless if she is investing in her childrenās future? Are you married btw?
Because you can also invest in the future of your children and be a good mother if you work full- time yourself. A woman should be a positive role model, especially for her daughters. She should show them how to be independent, strong, confident, how to pursue their own goals and above all that as a woman you don't have to choose between family and career. You can have it all.
And yes, I'm married.
@Satu16 i share the same view on that to be honest
Thanks @Unit1
@Satu16 so how do you have it all?
You can teach your children that and still be a stay at home mother. From my observation as a previous Assistant preschool teacher and sitter I seen mother not make healthy home cooked meals but something quick and childcare workers are underpaid and some really donāt care about the development of children. Do you have children and do you place them in childcare?
@Satu16 I think I agree with you on most did but I wouldn't say worthless.
@Primerose21 I feel sorry for your sister that she was left to fend for herself in most days. Surely I can't compare between the two options like you can but I personally never came home and nobody was there and I never felt lonely either.
Before I went to school I spent 24 hours with at least one parent every day. They always took me with them. And later after my school day was over we spent every day together as well.
She doesn't have to be a housewife, but I definitely don't want a career driven woman.
Can you elaborate
@CubsterShura She doesn't necessarily have to be or do or be everything like a housewife, she can have a job, I'm okay with that. But I'm not interested in a "career-driven" woman because typically they want that to come first in their relationships, and they often don't have a lot of life smarts because they think their degree and career are all that matters.
Women's can be anything they wanna be, but I'd rather I be the bread maker, but these days, women kinda has to work anyway unless man is super successful
Depends on the man but I imagine most men Would want enough money Coming in to provide for their families.
some guys prefer housewives but its a unsustainable unless the husband makes a comfertable living.
others prefer working wife.
What do you prefer?
wouldn't say no to a house mouse
I donāt have a preference, itās not something thatāll cause me to break it off with her.
Part time housewife. I desire a productive woman in society that makes things happen or achieves her dreams then comes home and be a wife and mom to the kids as I have to come home from work and be a husband and dad to the kids.
Lastly, unless you make an above average salary, you won't be able to take care of a woman who doesn't work plus kids and yourself. Those days are over.
What if her dreams is to focus on her family? Does that make her not productive?
Listen, I don't desire nor find it attractive in a woman who wants to be home all day as if she is under house arrest acting like a maid.
She can be perfectly devoted to raising a family alongside with me, while yet having a job or career.
Many women do both are a good mom to the kids and an amazing wife as well.
We have one life to live so let's make the best of it and fulfill your full potential in life beyond 4 walls inside a house.
Are you single?
LOL.. yeah and not available at least not right now. š
Did you have a father growing up or a positive male figure in your life?
No, but I had an amazing grandmother and deeply beloved mom.
A man could provide for himself, wife, and kids if he worked from sunrise to sundown, 6 days a week, like men in biblical times did. Working 40 hours a week was never enough to provide for a family.
@mistixs: In Biblical times college didn't exist, health care didn't exist, internet didn't exist, electricity and running water didn't exist, cell phones didn't exist, cars and insurance didn't exist etc.
Our standard of living and comfort is literally day vs night and it cost money to live a comfortable life unless you want to live in the hood with a low quality life with drug dealers and muggers all around the corner.
I heard a statistic that in the U. S. A. if I remember correctly around 70 something percent of people make $15 or less an hour; there's no way a man who is only one working can provide a decent quality life for a family of at least 4 in the household making such a salary that low.
And I didn't even mention 2nd and 3rd world countries where the average working person literally makes pennies compared to the average American hourly salary.
The reality is one person depending on his job (not everyone can have a decent paying job) can't take and support a family all alone.
As I told you before, women throughout have always worked just as men worked in society. This idea that only men should work isn't Biblical at all.
And please don't post the Bible scriptures about women taking care of the household. I never said women shouldn't be housewives, I'm just saying women can have a job and be a housewife as well. Many women do it everyday.
The proverbs 31 women did have a side hustle I can agree to that she sold things in the market place.
Yep. She is a business woman and owned land and made her money and still took care of the family. That kinda woman is hard working and special.
I prefer career driven women so we both can financially contribute to the household.
As for keeping the house clean, we both should share that responsibility.
But for the children, that's something to discuss with her.
Those are very close options i just voted one, for my point of view i would like a woman that is true and commited to create something together, then house keeping stuff and carrer can be balanced both for man and woman
Both of them will treat us the exact same way. The slave who must put up with all of your irrational demands and psychotic behaviour. All men are beta for women and now weve added a prince to the list.
Mgtow men dont like housewife sofar i know, do they? You are mgtow guy, right? I am just asking for curiousity
@kim45456 What we don't like is the double standards, the gynocentric system and the laws that turn men into legal slaves of women. That is what allows women to treat men like shit. It's not a coincidence that every culture in its foundation constrained the opportunities and options of women. When you give freedom to a woman she uses that freedom to destroy you and form her own male harem. In a society that encourages women to do that the only solution is to walk away. .
"What we don't like is the double standards, the gynocentric system and the laws that turn men into legal slaves of women." What exactly you mean?
"That is what allows women to treat men like shit. It's not a coincidence that every culture in its foundation constrained the opportunities and options of women. When you give freedom to a woman she uses that freedom to destroy you and form her own male harem." I know men in arabic countries marrying multiple wifes or underage girls. A man can be a monster too "In a society that encourages women to do that the only solution is to walk away. ." So a society should encourage men instead?
I wouldn't mind her being a housewife if we can afford her to be but living where I live. Its unrealistic.
Housewives are soo the 1950s
The career woman for me, love independent women who make their own money
My fiancée is the breadwinner
Lmao
Just someone with a normal 8-4...9-5 job, home on weekends.
When we have kids she is willing to stay home a few years until they are in school.
Neither. I want a friend, a lover, a partner in every sense of the word. Someone who makes me a better person and i her.
Which is most likely means i'll stay single. And that's ok.
A woman who is happy with her life. Regardless of the choice (s)
Most donāt, thereās still a few that do.
Realistically itās just not possible to have a good quality of life on one income most places
Based on the polls men prefer housewives.
I wouldnāt take this site as an accurate representation of reality
So I shouldnāt take your representation of reality? You are on this site of course.
I want a career driven houseman. :p I hate cooking and stuff, it's a good thing many men loves to cook nowadays. Most men i've met enjoy doing chores around the home...
no I want a rich woman so I can pursue my interests in music... and give up my day job.
Iām working on building an acting career. Would love to meet a cute girl one day whoās also in an artistic line of work.
I would prefer a balance, My girlfriend wouldn't wanna stay at home all the time like that lol I've known some girls who preferred not having a job and staying so if that's what you like that's fine. You just need to find a guy who's cool with that.
Housewives don't bring in money right? Why would anyone want that, might as well be a free loader.
I can relate to this so much
I prefer a housewife but men likely want a career woman.
I prefer both honestly. I dont want someone who doesn't care about house chores and who's not easily open to helping out. But also someone is who more just life driven is huge.
I want my girl to be bright, pationed and driven. Is it a carrear or a business, or even a business that she can be a housewife most of time, Idc.
I just don't want an insuflating dool
It depends on the man but for me personally I want a women that is out of the house and is doing what she wants to do. Sure doing house works is ok but I don't like women that think the man should be the only one working and paying bills.
Preferably a house wife. But most importantly, as long as she's not a bitch.
I'm good with either.. But career driven women usually suffer what we refer to as hypergamy.. She gets a promotion now makes more than her boyfriend... Break up, for someone better.. Additionally they don't tend to make good mothers..
All the nay sayers that disagree with me, the statistics are on my side. Career driven women on average choose men that make more than them.. Additionally there are articles out there that say that a promotion is the perfect time to break up..
Also.. 90% of all divorces are initiated by women... Maybe do some research..
Housewives tend to cheat more in my experience instead of divorcing
Yeah I can't disagree, but my comment doesn't mention cheating does it? It mentions break up..
What? Break up is better than cheating i guess? Omg Hahahshshaca
It is s to me, less heart ache. I don't tolerate cheating in my life.
A housewife? Help me balance the books. A career woman? Value your home above your job. Either way, make me the love of your life.
I think either one is fine with me. I don't really care about what my wife chooses to do.
Depends on the situation. When we have still no kids she should work as I do and we share chores fair. But when there are kids she should stay at home until the youngest kid is at least 8 years old.
After 8 years of being unemployed, it'll become almost impossible for her to find a decent job. It either needs to be stay home with Kids n not work ever or go to work right after (6weeks) birth.
Go stay yourself at home
I was at home 5 years
I want all three!
You left out porn star in the bedroom.
I mean, in the end it's up to her. I don't really care
Housewives are a joke. I'm not letting someone pretend cooking and cleaning are suck intense tasks that they need to leech off me financially...
I think you never tried doing full time housework and taking care of kids. Anyways, I agree women should be career driven, so that we can easily leave jerks like you.
True words, primerose21. Women have to be independent and free to live their own lifes. We're no slaves!
Please.. if women would leech off of you theyād die of thirst.
When men talk like this they are usually greedy and donāt value women. This is probably the same guy who will expect his wife to work full time pregnant, While an infant at home.
You all are so ready to argue that you're missing my point completely...
I don't want a dependant women. Where ever did I say i did? Nice try to put words in my mouth
Iām gonna put my dick in your mouth if you aināt careful boy.
*eyeroll* Is that all you got?
I don't really care either way. If I want a maid, i'll hire one. But i also make enough to comfortably support a wife and kids. So I guess whatever the wife wants is fine.
I think a better way of seeing it is men want a wife who is a wife.
Weather or not she holds a job or her job is at home with her family.
Men should generally adopt the role of housemaid. Id willingly serve a Mistress
I do not want a "housewife.". I have no use for such silliness.
Whatever she decides. I expect that we love each other and make it through the storms.
Financially, her having a job would be better. f anything happened to me at least she wouldn't have to depend on me economically.
Some want one, some want the other. We are all unique individuals with unique needs and desires.
My choice is a career-driven woman. I'm find drive and self-sufficiency attractive.
I could work either way but if she is career driven... we'll have to get some staff
Holding everything else equal, I prefer laid back woman because I'm not compatible with career driven woman.
