Matt
You have got it all figured out!
Now explain the advantage.
Advantage??? To me or to all the poor women that are so desperate to go out with me? The one lucky enough to impress me I just might let them put a ring on my finger. For that gal she will get a guy that is happy being taken care of and knows how to show it.
CaliCali,
I agree. If guys can live single, then that's their thing just like those who are ok taking care of their gf/wife/lover. But some women out there think that if a man is single then he must not be enjoying life. A woman's ultimate goal in life to have a dreamy proposal and wedding and live under a guy's wing is not necessarily something I want.
2mares,
The things you mention that you sacrifice for him sound nice. I rather do that in a relationship. House chores are so overrated. How long does it take you to wash a pair of dishes (2 bowls, 2 flat dishes, 2 cups, 2 forks/spoons/knifes)? Not even 3 minutes. If laundry was done 7 days of the week or even 5, I would understand but its not that much. Besides, you dump the clothes inside the washer/dryer and wait to come pick it up and fold it or whatever. Unless you go down to the river to hand wash the clothes. I can keep going with more house chores and its not that big of a deal really. If you end up getting bored with your marriage you can always ask for divorce and leave the court counting each dollar you got for simply being a woman. So you get that benefit in relationships, divorce, chivalry, relationships, and so on. Enjoy .
I see no advantage in being low maintenance. If you don't hold yourself in high regard, no one else will either. I strive to be my best and I give my very best to my relationships. I expect the same in return.

What is "give your best" in relationships? Being nice to him, cheer him up, rub his back, being sweet, etc. right?
I strive to give him what he wants and needs from me most. I would say that respect and appreciation are the most important things to him, closely followed by support and encouragement.
These boards are replete with jaded bitter single men, aren't they?
I can only speak for myself in saying that I'm not bitter or jaded. I have never been hurt by a woman nor have I ever been cheated on.
With that said, the situation is this; unlike most guys, I DID MY OWN RESEARCH, into relationships, and into the TRUE nature of the female sex. Therefore, armed with that knowledge, I chose not to believe the propaganda that the "family man" is the type of man that I should aspire to be.
It's slavery, plain and simple! The "family man" is a slave to his wife, his job, and corporate America!
Just take a look at this propaganda (picture below), they hire actors who don't even know each other and use them to sell an IDEA that this is what life will be when you get married and take care of a woman.

You see no advantage in being low maintenance? Do you realize that if you declare that your high maintenance you're pricing yourself out the dating market, or at least reducing your chances of finding a decent mate? A good analogy is the fact that millionaires buy Ford f150 vs BMW's because it cost less and it's cheaper to maintain (Read The Millionaire Next Door).
I agree, holding yourself in a high regard is VERY important but it has little to do with acquiring material possessions or demanding that people GIVE them to you!
Truly holding yourself to a high regard means maintaining a standard of cleanliness, not caving into external pressures, standing up for what's right, taking accountability, and doing things for yourself.

I always enjoy this woman's posts.
