Is a man more likely to marry his girlfriend if she cleans and does other domestic activities without having to ask her to?

Question

So I’m going with a much older guy. I noticed his living room was a mess when I’d come over. So, I stayed at his place one day, worked online while he went out and worked. I cleaned his living room.

It is really a semi-yes from me. Male mate selection criteria are different to female's. We don't care what the girl earns/owns. As one commentator put it recently we'll marry a broke waitress that is nice to us.

In other words we want value from a girl other than financial. BUT it is value we want not just any value. You might decide you'll be nice to me and clean up my desk for me and expect me to be happy and delighted. Maybe you have even bought some desk organizer stuff for me.

Instead of being happy you might find me struggling to express appreciation because I am actually angry you've mucked up my desk. I had pieces of important papers carefully color coded with coffee stains and now I can't find anything. I will acknowledge you have been nice to me and put a tick on the board nonetheless. You have shown by voluntarily doing this cleaning that you are collaborative and get another tick for that.

Just be careful it is value we want and probably stay away from our work surfaces.

Enough ticks sustained over time and we will marry you.

I got to be honest with you on this one... I think so.

I have dated women, where they said they are really good cooks. I like awesome we should cook together some time. Months into the relationship I find myself cooking and she and she is hanging out... then it hits me... this woman has never cooked a single thing for me this whole time.

I have never had a girlfriend clean for me, and I never cleaned for them... so not sure about that one.

But a woman that cooks or would share in cooking would be fabulous!!! I would find that very appealing.

No. In fact men who don't want to marry are a lot more likely to seek out women who easily put out wife benefits without them having to give them husband benefits.

It won't make me ignore the fact that she's a raging a-hole or anything, but it is certainly a big check in the plus column because it tells me I won't be the one doing ALL the housework from here on out if things ger serious.

I'm much more likely to want to date, marry or have a relationship with a woman who doesn't mind if I do all of her household chores and as much cooking and/or bringing her meals as possible.

These are wifey traits that men notice, and if you want commitment from a high-value man they are a requirement.
