I mean a woman who expect her husband to provide for her an their kids. A woman who is not ashamed to admit that. A woman who doesn't believe in sleeping around. A woman who thinks it is insulting when men cuss in her company. A woman who 'wants' to be a lady and to be treated like one. A woman who does believe that caring for her children is a parents role. I am not talking about a man treating her like a servant but about what the 'woman' wants for her 'life.' What 'her' priorities are. Are they a little bit old fashioned?

No I dont think its chauvinistic as long as you respect her position and you dont try to belittle her role.

It's OK for a woman to be a little bit old fashioned, but, she should do things for her man because she loves him, not because he expects it. If she works outside the house, she has a right to expect her man to help around the house and if he can take a night out with the guys and leave her home alone or babysitting, then she should be able to do the same. And for goodness sake, don't ever tell a woman she can't do something because you said so. That is the quickest way to divorce I know of. Tell her you would rather she didn't do it and she will probably honor your wishes. If not, get over it. She's an adult and can do as she pleases.

It is not chauvinistic. Sometimes I think many women still silently wish that they could choose that if they wanted.
Unfortunately, the way our society is today, it is almost expected that the woman work and cuss and have "sex like a man." Men get angry when women want to be stay at home mom's. Also, with the rising divorce rate in America, many women realistically need a career or at least a fall-back job. There's a new crop of women coming out of divorced families who know what it is like to try and struggle with being a single mom without having had a full time job before the divorce.
Coming from that background myself, I'm a little confused. I know what divorce and domestic strife does to kids, so I want any marriage / family I have to be permanent. But, I also want to protect myself / my future kids from a single parenthood without a good job. So, you can see that there really is a dilemma facing women today. They are almost forced by society to be career minded.... heaven help them if they are not!

No, not with what you're describing as an "Old Fashioned Women". There are women out there like that who would love a man like you. Nothing wrong with that. Part of the wonderful thing when women got more rights is she was allowed to decide what kind of women she wanted to be. You're allowed to be old fashioned, a working mom, a single women the rest of your life, whatever. It's all okay.

I think that it is perfect if you two are a good match. Cassius raises an issue. There is a difference and Cassius himself would have to answer that by looking internally since he is the most cruel and chauvinistic man I have seen on Yahoo answers.
A husband and provider is not a monster who expects to be waited on. He isnot a man who thinks he is greater than a woman. A good husband/provider is a respectful, caring, chivalrous man.

not necessarily. i wouldn't say that i'm that type of person, but just as some women still like the chivalry in men, men can also have a preference for old fashioned women.
i know of many women who do still want to be that traditional wife/mother sometime in their lives, maybe not yet but sometime.

No, I don't think wanting a woman with an 'old-fashioned' bent is chauvinistic. We are all attracted to different characteristics and personality types.
HOWEVER!!! ...
If you are trying to make-over your woman into such when she is not... THAT'S chauvinistic... and self-defeating.

It depends on what you mean by "a little bit old-fashioned". Could you be more specific?

How so? You're not being specific enough. As long as you let her live her life on her terms, by all means want her, but if you want to control her anywhere but the bedroom, you're outta here.

There is nothing wrong with that as long as you respect her and are open to her ideas and wants.
