Everyone wants to make sure that the person (man or woman) that they're dating is worth their time and that they're compatible--that's what dating is.

Don't you test women by seeing if they reach for the check or offer to pay for you on a date? Same diff.

Then why make men go through that long process? Why not just get to know him and viceversa without any gender entitlements that women mention often or putting men under that long process that women have mentioned (tests/probation/observation/quizzes/etc.)?

I went out with this girl last night for the very first time and who paid for dinner? BOTH. She didn't put me in any long process to start contributing to expenses or showing nice gestures. We're going out again this weekend. Then again, I guess culture plays a certain role (she's asian).

How DARE a woman want a nice gesture!! This is simply outrageous.

I just have no idea what type of women you are talking about, that never reciprocate nice gestures. The problem is you then. Either you attract vapid women, or you are high maintenance. A simple, hello, heartfelt, note/text/phone call is more than enough, for me, to know that somebody cares. That's all I want...I don't know what else there is, really.

Oh hell no!

My friends crack up @ me because I yammer on & on about how a man's gonna serve me. He's gonna get on his hands & knees every night when I get back from a long day, & he's gonna kiss my boots & take 'em off for me. He's gonna cook my dinner & have it ready when I get home. He's gonna watch the kids & keep 'em quiet while I'm falling asleep in front of the TV. He'll get up after some long, sweaty sex to make me a sandwich. He'll be MY traned housewife.

Now do I actually want that? NO! I wanna normal relationship. Sure, I can be a little demanding, but I wanna man who's 100% equal to me.

In answer to the original question: Sh*t no I don't want, nor do I need a man to take care of me. I ain't gonna necessarily have his dinner ready on the table when he get's home, but I'll make his dinner if that was the agreement (given he says "Thank you Hun" before he eats.)

For you single women out there, would you give it all up, the job, the independence and all the trappings if given the chance to marry a strong and succesful, but painfully old fashioned man? He would love and cherish you, be kind, affectionate and attentive to the children. He would also insist on bearing any burdens and making all the important decisions for the family. He would want a wife to be obedient and supportive, You'd be expeced to keep a tidy house and have dinner ready with a smile when he gets home.

Just curious how many women out there want to meet and marry a provider and a "daddy" figure versus a partner, and equal contributor.
Who is gonna run the office and be the manger if I started my own place someday?

no-- women are very skilled at getting their needs met.
in the end her divorce lawyer will help her far more than you could in doing that.
