What is the man's role in a relationship?

Question

Qdbrown · Accepted Answer

For starters, men are the gatekeepers for the relationship and women are the gatekeepers for sex. And so that is where it begins.

A man brings his energy, ability to provide and protect. He controls the relationship so he gets to define the protocols and he gets to say what is acceptable and what is not. If she doesn't like it, she needs to leave. If he high value and reasonable, she won't leave. Trust me. She will gripe and try to bargain more control of the relationship. Just remember guys that after marriage she will retake control of sex, and will make you earn it, and train you to be her nice guy to get any action. Don't that this true? Ask any married guy how much sex there isn't after the honeymoon period ends. That said, the guy must maintain control of the relationship. If she doesn't want to play ball, and be reasonable, even if married, kick her to the curb.

Most women are nestbuilders. Most men have the capability to either build and or that house. At some point she is either going to want to have kids, or adopt fur babies. A woman can make a comfortable happy home for husband. He really should not be cooking, cleaning and decorating the place. He can help her, but never make it his normal. His normal needs to be the dirty hard jobs. As such, she should never have a career. A job yes, but she needs to run her house, and he needs to make that possible. He does the career.

Don't ever marry a career woman that makes more money they the guy. The guy needs to be provider. So many women will say no thanks, housewives went out in the 50's. But every woman who goes back to a traditional role find that they are happier. Back in the day women not only kept her home great, she watched out over the neighborhood. Kids could play outside. And they did until street lights came on. It ties the whole community together when women network to that end. This is all messed up now, and parents can get arrested if they let their kids play unattended in their neighborhood.

Men bring a lot to the relationship, and he has his role. It's fine if you want to give it away and bargain with a woman who will take that control for granted and will eventually find a more masculine man who you might get to support later on, when that family court really shows what men are really responsible for. You will not find many women who will insist on a modern divorce, most will let that old fashion complex devestate the man's life in ways that make suck starting a shotgun a pleasant alternative.

Think if our government knows what your role is, perhaps you should do some reverse engineering as well.

Man controls the relationship.

In my personal experience, a healthy relationship has equal roles and traditional relationship roles are skewed. A healthy relationship does not put expectations on either male and female roles. Asking what a man's role in a relationship is antiquated and out of touch with reality. In order to have equality in a relationship, you should not be drawing on societal parameters.

Every relationship is different and to assume that the antiquated roles that have been associated with relationships in the past, then you are basically shooting yourself in the foot. Isn't a relationship truly about becoming one with another? So to add the masculine/feminine roles, standards and parameters are like trying to stuff your relationship into societal norms.

Personally I believe that a relationship is to make each other in the relationship to shine. So to answer your question, I would have to say that a man's role in a relationship is as individual as there are couples in the world. No two relationships fit into the same box as society says that it should be

No type of roles in my relationships, please. I don't have typical traits for a woman and I do not want to be in a specific role myself. Having roles are too limited for me. Things can change over years, we would adjust to each other and the given circumstances.

Elliegirl · Accepted Answer

It varies from couple to couple. In my marriage, his role is to lead, provide, love, and protect me and our child (ren). He is the head of the family, and I expect him to be dominant, but also supporting, not stifling or suppressive.

OlderAndWiser · Answer

To be a man, not a boy or a weenie.

ChrisMaster69 · Answer

To be a twat at parties (see the theme lol).

to provide support through good times and bad,

to be a person that listens with two ears.

to be caring and sharing, to be respectful.

to protect and defend.

to be a best friend.

to be part of a fluid partnership, that’s not always 50/50.

to be there when it matters the most.

this will all vary between couples as the dynamics will change.

my main one, is not to be an abusive arsehole like a load of men seem to manage without even trying.

jerdanro · Answer

Relationship dynamics should be determined and agreed to by the couple. However, in traditional roles the man should provide, protect, and lead.
This doesn't mean the woman is subserviant to the man or that she is inferior in any way. It should be seen as the man's responsibility because these are things that men are best suited for.
The woman's role is no less vital and actually more so. Women traditionally are responsible for being the primary caretaker of children and keeping the spiritual, emotional, and social health of the community. Women lead our inner lives. They are much more emotionally intelligent than men, so nurturing, organizing, and keeping peace among people is their strength.
This is not to say that both sexes cannot perform either role.

TurkishGirl_ · Answer

I prefer the man to be dominant in the relationship, but ONLY if he's a mature man who can make sensible decisions. Apart from that, things like showing love and giving support are always the most important.

kyleelyn199723 · Answer

That’s depends my definition can be different from others. I’m old fashioned, I want my man to lead and provide.

VanillaSalt · Answer

Women don’t date down no matter what they might say it never works out. So as such for society it’s a many’s duty to acquire as much money and power as possible to provide for and protect.

Or it was until the feminazis took over and demande equality. Now men don’t have a defined role in the relationship. We can sit around the house all day if we want lol.

MasseurDeMojo · Answer

We discussed this in another answer about women being slaves. The man's role is not to be a dictator, but the main bread winner, and a major support in the house to the wife. His support makes the rules of the house stick. No one is going to fight him on the rules.

Everything he does, he does it for his wife; and every decision he makes, is only made after listening to the council of his wife.

He is there to Provide, Protect, and Teach.

virtue2332 · Answer

It's ever evolving and should be the role he and whomever they are in a relationship with have agreed upon and agreed to amend based on the needs of the relationship. It shouldn't be assumed that they necessarily know their role and it shouldn't be based on the relationships needs not on the opinions of others not directly involved in that relationship.

Mehzmeh · Answer

To be the person who provides and protects hia queen. And make sure he has her back always. If he can't do that then he is not a man who, should be in relationship. Or even have anyone special in his life ever.

MrOracle · Answer

In my world, the man's role is to lead the team, to protect and provide for her (and the rest of the family), and to improve the lives of the team. With authority comes responsibility in equal measure.

Gwenhwyfar · Answer

To thrust into her Sorry. I‘m a little stoned and that was my first thought seeing that pic lol.

2ndTryatThis · Answer

I think it depends on the relationship. At the end of the day both people are MAINLY responsible for providing a trusting and loving relationship that is safe and satisfying. Some women have different needs than others and are equipped differently, so there can be no cookie cutter one-size-fits-all response.

TommyMountainFigure · Answer

I don't see this as a straight forward black and white answer. As long as you are both singing from the same hymn sheet and both playing to your strengths, all that matters is everything that needs to be done, IS done.

monkeynutts · Answer

To fuck their wives or girlfriends really good and hard. And maybe cook and clean a bit too.

LogicBomber · Answer

A man's role is the emotional support, to provide, and to protect.

Jaylaaa2000 · Answer

Whatever each couple decides together the roles should be. The best part of living in a country with freedoms and rights. We get to have a choice instead of society or government deciding for us.

MrJMM · Answer

It varies. Sorry but the stereotypical answer is going to be provided with family with money and be working hard. But in some cases, it's the man’s job to take care of everyone sorry but I cannot answer this question without a specific scenario or things being added to the question and with those vague questions it is difficult to answer.

oldasIfeel22 · Answer

Before the 60s this was an easy answer. But feminism has screwed things up so much than women don’t know they want and men don’t know what to give them.

The_Maphio · Answer

Whatever role the couple naturally finds be more fitting for him. There were well defined roles for each gender back in the days, today those are blurry to say the least, so it depends couple by couple, I'd reckon.

apple_jack · Answer

He should make me a sandwich for work, clean all day, take care of house and make me a hot dinner when I get home from work. He also needs to look nice all the time and have sex with me whenever I want. I didn't marry him for nothing after all.

loves2learn · Answer

A partner for his woman. Both of them supporting and building each other up.  . In the bedroom I want him to dominate me though.

MyNameJames · Answer

An honest, good, and kind source of support for her. Not some stupid stud, or some kind of macho ubermensch, or a tyrant of the household. He should be the other half of his partner, an equal not a superior or inferior member of the relationship.

moviedude714 · Answer

Floppy2112 · Answer

To provide, to make a woman feel safe, to support, to cherish and to love. And when difficult times hit, to lead the way out of difficult times. This is the ideal in a healthy relationship.

TallAnon · Answer

There is no role, there is just two people deciding all this together.
