The opposite of this would be selfishness.
Why do woman complain about selfish men, and then turn around and complain about men wanting to take care of them.
I guess I'm fighting the age old battle, right now, that men will never win.(trying to figure out women).
This is why feminism and general individuality(and closet lesbians) has breeded selfishness, which has caused divorces rates to go up.
People should be taking care of each other.
Please: if you don't want to work as a team, then don't get married.

I really do care about how what men think. It is really difficult to read a man's mind. I know many women appreciate a man that can be direct and open with them. It is such a shocker when a man breaks up with you or vice verse and they say "you just don't understand me" but they never open up to you. I'd rather know what a man is thinking and feeling so I can determine whether to invest time, money and/or emotions into any relationship.

The term "take care of" can be quite wide, and it really depends on the definition. Does he expect that he will be the bread winner? Or is he taking care of you by making sure dinner is on the table, opening doors for you etc?
Women connect being "taken care of" in with their emotional needs as well. How many times have I heard how women would like to be treated like a lady and taken out, wined, dined. ....To me, that is taking care of you.

It is the same instict that God placed in men to take care of women as it is for women to take care of their children. God has placed certain things in each of us that make us act and do certain things. I myself can take care of me, but I'm glad to have someone to make a fuss over me every now and then.

This is an age old problem. Men have always been expected to take care of women. Even though we have proven that we can take care of ourselves, they still think that they are the providers. It`s pride and ego. So we let them think that they are taking care of us.

Because they're stuck in the ideology that women are weak and deserve special treatment. They don't know how to properly identify or appreciate an equal.

It is nice to know that you are still meeting men somewhere who feel like that...it is an old fashioned notion...but I think it is a nice one.

Because that is the way men are made. The way God intended.

umm....we dont....if my wife expected me to take care of her, she wouldnt have had 12 hospital visits throughout 2006. she stays in her cage in the kitchen, with her breasts exposed for easy access any time i want some. guys dont feel any such need....its the woman's job to make the man comfortable. to make his dinner, suck his dickk, do his laundary, clean his toilet after a smelly shiit and smell his rotten egg farts every time he emits one from his anus hole

That all depends on the man... Not all men are like that.
