Is this an accurate picture of a modern woman's expectations of her man?

Question

Women want men to provide for the family, but at the same time spend sufficient quality time with the family.
Women want men to make enough money, but not have to work the long hours to earn it.
Enough money to a woman doesn't factor in her shopping sprees, vacations he pays for, dinners he pays for, and his own retirement account.

Answer 1

first of all if ur lady does not understand the hours u have 2 work 2 be able 2 one have a good solid career n 2 take care of the family n future then u r with the wrong lady.

it is hard 4 a man 2 balance work n still have enough time 4 the family but the family needs 2 understand that dad is working hard n that he spends quality time when he can. quality is what counts not quantity.

a good family man is hard 2 find n most of the ladies that find the good family men r the idiots who think that a man is a miracle worker n can earn money 4 the family n still be home all the time, up under her dumb ***. (would love 2 slap every one of those woman)

4 all the good men out there please when u find those woman run cause there r a lot better woman out there dying 2 get 2 know a good man.

Answer 2

Oh good lord. What vacations? What shopping sprees? And the only dinners out we do are few and far between and usually Burger King. My husband works long and hard because HE wants to, because HE wants to provide for our family. He could be dirt poor for all I cared. In fact, we were dirty poor once and you know what I particularly like about being able to pay the bills now? That we can afford for my husband to relax a little and not put so much pressure on himself. HIMSELF. Whatever pressure he feels, I didn't put there.

Do not generalize please. That might some women, but don't lump us all into that category. That's like say all men are chauvinist pigs or all they think about and want is sex. Some are that way, yes, but not all.

Answer 3

Ah yes, the unrealistic expectations, I know them well. Get b****ed out cuz there isn't enough money in the checking account and b****ed out the next cuz you're never home to share the domestic misery. I solved the problem by letting her handle the finances and pay the bills. "Financial 101" paid off perfectly, now SHE worries about the money while I spend like there's no tomorrow! Payback's a B****!

Answer 4

i have the answer to this one mine works right along side of me so she and i both work the same and take care of the same things i hear alot of if you had to have kids - pfff - the amoutn of women that have to push out a child grows less and less i work hard and play hard and she does the same. yeah sometimes i work harder one day and she will work harder another but i would say we are pretty close to the same as far as that goes. i am man hear me roar j/k i have no complaints personally but i know of a few ladies that take there men for granted to the man works all day and the woman stays at home and watches the kids and then the man comes home and cooks and cleans while she goes to the stores after groceries cause she was to damn lazy to cart the kids around to do that

Answer 5

No, it's a wrong picture. Perhaps some women are like that but not all of them. Some women prefer to earn their money and spend it. Some prefer an equal agreement.

And no one--male or female--should suffer such an expectation unless it was agreed beforehand.

Answer 6

Yeah, I think this is a reasonable picture. Not that it's bad... I would rather juggle making money and spending time with the family than having to go through childbirth over and over, and have flabby thighs. Just my 2 cents.

Answer 7

Wow, what a generalization. Not all women fall into that picture. I have my own career and can pay for myself (thank you). I don't need my husband providing everything for me. Time spent together is very important...yes, but we both work hard then play hard.

Answer 8

i expect my man to back me up 100%, cherish me, trust me, lust me and he expects the same back.women usually give alot more than they recieve and sacrifice in different ways than a man does apart from running a home and looking after children they normally go to work too.if a man had to push a baby out into the world then run round after it for the next 18 yrs and do all of the above then they would b forgiven for asking such stupid questions.

Answer 9

It seems that the "women" you're referring to are a very spoiled breed! My expectations include friendship, partnership, and a mutual respect with similar life goals.
(Twisted, huh?)

Answer 10

wow i think Lady Geo is upset by ur ?
