Basically the woman's role is to be good company! The man gets the priviledge to be with us.
I would not doubt if you are serious about this. A female, in undergrad , told me the same thing, I laughed in her face. Needless to say, she was even more shocked by my reaction!!
I have no problems paying for dates and things, but providing a lifestyle akin to "You can have whatever materialistic thing you like", just does not fly with me. Especially if she does not do things for me, and keeping company does not count. And as I stated earlier, the only woman's bills I would pay for are my wife's bills!!

It doesn't appeal to you because you obviously can't afford it. To those that can, it's no big deal.
I may not be a rich man but my self worth is not determined by the material things I have. And I feel that way for other people as well. Even if I was rich I would not be buying every thing around me. Some of the wealthiest people I know are more frugal with money than most people comprehend. Saving money is no longer a priority these days, and Americans wonder why this country is in the mess it is in!!
Money is relative...just like everything else in the entire world. Everything is relative. The term "wealthy" or "rich" is relative.
Relativity is based on one's current perspective of where they are in life. So...how I define "rich" may be very different from how you describe "rich".
Why would you think because one appreciates material things that they define their self worth by them? Appreciating material things does not preclude appreciating spiritual things. They are not mutually exclusive.
Call me old fashioned, but I still think it's the man's job to be the main breadwinner in the family.
You are old fashioned My opinion is different probably because my mom was primary breadwinner for quite a while as my dad was getting his business off the ground so for me being primary breadwinner as a woman is not a big deal and in some cases is quite a good investment. In my folks case her efforts at supporting him in the beginning resulted in them both having a more than comfortable lifestyle at some point and a very enviable retirement
Let's face it...a guy should be able to "afford" a woman...and if he can't, he's in no position for a relationship! This is actually good old fashioned common sense talking here. Back in the day a man would ask a woman's father for her hand and part of the grilling process was asking the suiter about his ability to provide for the daughter. It's common sense 101...it's that basic!
I'm sorry, but I don't consider myself as cattle to be bought and sold (father to dh). If all you are is cattle, I don't see how you would make very good company.
