I think I should have married that one guy, come to think of it. He earned good money, he liked to cook, kept his house extremely clean, he could fix things/build things - really he didn't seem to expect anything of me but my company! I guess I didn't realize how lucky I was ;-)
I can understand a woman being expected to cook if she is a stay at home Mom. You don't want your kids eating take-out or frozen junk, and it would be hard to work AND somehow cook three meals for your kids......
but 'equal' couples....again, it's individual. As long as the 'division of labor' is acceptable to the two people involved it doesn't matter.
My other Aunt does the meal planning and shopping, and her husband does the cooking and cleaning up. As far as I know she can cook - so perhaps he likes to, and she does her part. *shrug*
No different then what some of you ladies to many men out there
How many times have you met a really really nice guy that was intelligent, kind hearted, and that would make a great husband.
Yet you overlooked him because of ONE quality that he was lacking.
Lack of Confidence.....Lack of sexual prowress....etc.
How could you overlook him due to sexual prowess? How would you know anything about his sexual prowess? (BTW, sexual prowess is an acquired skill.) Really good guys who are intelligent and kind are the bomb! Those are the kind women approach and initiate with.
See, the OP started out with an erroneous assumption: "We all know" women expect men to approach and initiate. Well, no, we don't "all know" that. OP needs a reality check. Women do approach and "get the ball rolling towards a relationship".
So you don't mind that you have to basically support/provide for someone, and that someone can't even provide food for her children? Seems like men are lowering their standards for gender roles while still being held to their own.
Is this 1950 you are talking about? Most women I know today work, the same as their husbands. In that case, they should be sharing household responsibilities - cooking, cleaning, laundry, yard work. Even someone who can't cook (male or female), can throw together some reasonable facsimile of a dinner by buying a rotisserie chicken and some frozen vegetables.
