I can't even imagine what a bunch of 18-22yr olds think these days!
That's true and, even thinking back myself, what I "want" in a woman, or at least priorities in a woman, are a little different now than when I was 20.
I think if women contribute to their household monetarily, then men should contribute domestically. I am trying to instill this in my children so my son does not expect a woman to do everything for him and my daughter is not expected to do it all.
Oh how I miss the Good Old Days when you go out find a woman,looks don't matter.Knock her in the Head,drag her to your Cave have your way,turn her lose.
[/list] Except for the last one, how is this different than what women want in men?
Women tend to want security, both emotionally and financially. Also when my first (good looking) husband divorced me (he was sleeping around) and I began another relationship, all of a sudden "looks" were not a determining factor for me. I just wanted someone who had a good job, who was faithful and had the same goals in common with me. Education and intelligence didn't matter. After being used and abused.....I just wanted a nice guy.
A lot of 'men' today saw their mother play the role of provider and caregiver, due to women's lib and that need to be independent. Since that's how they came up, they expect to find a woman who will act just like their mother. Can't blame them, they are a product of their environment.

I think you are quite correct.
Many women have come to think that they have to be able to do it all. Cook, clean, raise the kids and work a full time job so the family can have nice things. Sadly, these same women are often disappointed that the men they meet don't seem to measure up in kind.
IMO, many men today have come up with a sense of entitlement. Their Mom did so much, including caring for them, that these guys don't seem to understand that it isn't all about them and what they want. Women are being raised to feel like it is their duty to be Superwoman. This creates an inequality in relationships and often the women just don't feel that their needs are being met, creating anger and resentment. Mind you, I didn't say ALL men & women are like that but I sure do see it a lot.
Not nearly as many women would put up a fuss about their role in a relationship if their men would step up to their role and be a provider and protector.
There isn't a woman alive who would proudly announce her love of a lazy, useless guy.
Not a whole lot, it appears. She gets to do everything while he sits on his lazy butt and watches sports.
Unfortunately, the "nice" guys who don't fit this mold are too busy looking after themselves and getting an education to have time to date or too "spineless" to get someone to do this for them! Last again!
