I'm not surprised...but I'm okay with a small pool of applicants. Remember, the ones I have dated in the past all picked me, so I obviously have something going for me.
I want a cook and housekeeper. I want someone who can do those things I cannot do myself. I don't need her to be able to do the things I can do for myself.
Drop to your knees and set up an altar to your right hand (unless you are a southpaw), it looks to me as if you need to add a blowup doll to your condensed wishlist.
Really? How many men support their mother financially? That's her husband's job, not theirs.
Actually, men die before women and so many times women are left widows and if they don't have a retirement nest egg, they're children (be it male or female) end up supporting them.
But in all honesty, you want a woman to cook, clean, be your friend and intermediary to the rest of the world. I don't care if you financially support this person or not, that aside, what you're looking for is a mother.
and to answer the OP, a woman's role is whatever she wants it to be. the only hitch is finding a compatible partner who agrees with her "role", whatever it may be.

I never considered my mother to be my friend. I don't know anyone but "mama's boys" that do.
Further, it's a partnership. In any partnership, you need someone that complements you, not that matches you perfectly. If you have two guys that are great in sales but bad doing paperwork, that's not likely to be a successful partnership. Better to have one of each.
I've pointed out three things I can't see myself doing--and I need someone who will step in and do those things. I don't expect a gourmet chef--she can toss a couple of TV dinners in the oven for all I care. I'm used to that sort of food anyhow. But if she wants something other than TV dinners and frozen pizzas, she'll be the one cooking dinner. If she has a problem eating burned food, I guess she better make it.
And if she can't stand an unmade bed, I guess she better make it, because I don't have any problems leaving it unmade.
Like I said in the original post, a woman can do anything she wants, but she shouldn't be surprised if the only people looking for that are losers and leeches. I want a woman who still follows traditional gender roles willingly and GLADLY. I don't need another breadwinner.

Well, there are degrees of behavior. Not every woman is 100% "traditional" or "career driven." I think most of us believe in compromise and just want shared responsibility. After all, who can afford to live off one salary these days?
For example, I don't enjoy cleaning the house or doing laundry so I've hired someone to handle it. Does it matter who does it as long as it gets done? I'd rather spend my time doing other things. And, as for dating "protocol" I don't expect men to pay all the time. Since my dad encouraged me not to let men pay for everything, I've always contributed. I'm not into playing games and I think I'm pretty agreeable.
Rather than conform to traditional roles, I believe that couples should share responsibilities, choosing the tasks they like and/or are good at.
Why would you conclude that anything but following traditional gender roles would lead to the woman having only losers and leeches as prospects?
