Men-Women Roles....what's your take?

You're sweet!! Thanks, Intrigue. ;-)

I see I've missed a couple of your more recent posts, but I didn't miss this one.

Nice to see you posting again, Saty. Your biting wit has been sorely missed around here. ;-)

 

I believe the feminist movement (while good intentions and still relevant today) devalued men and make it seem men are not needed.

If a man says he is receiving an allowance we would be laughing at him instead of saying cool. you know you can trust your woman and you value her judgement

I cant believe Im gonna quote Steve Harvey but he made a statement that men are not intimidated by a woman more successful than them they are just ashamed because they feel like failures.

I on the other hand can relate to what he is saying to a PT. If Im happy in what Im doing then that is success.

 

If I had a man, I'd like sharing responsibilities and taking turns and doing things together the most. :smt050.
Being "handy" together, cooking together, cleaning together, catering to each other and our children together.
I feel that a man who cooks is the hottest most sexiest thing ever!
I've had those little fantasies of being the domestic wifey stay-at-home mom Susie homemaker stuff before. Where I could devote all of myself to my man and our babies and making our house a home. I'm a babier, a nurturer, a giver, etc, and get the utmost joy and satisfaction from it.
But then I get screwed, used, taken for granted and forsaken.
So I'm not going to be so sweet, nice, generous, selfless and shit next time.
I'm never giving anyone anything they aren't giving me again.
It's my turn now. ;-)

 

Hmm, well I'm always different but I don't do roles. The reason being is what if I suck at that role? Why should I be placed in a role just because that is supposedly expected of that gender? Screw that, than the only thing that means is that I'm going to mess everything up. Thus, my philosophy is always to
play to each other's strength. Whatever that maybe. So for me personally, I'm decent at cleaning but much better at cooking. So if both me and my gf are working and I get off before she does, and than I wouldn't mind throwing something down on the stove. I think if anything, it just that you are considerate of your partner because he/she had a longer day at work than you did. Thus, most likely he/she would be more tired.

So essentially, I don't really believe in roles per say. I actually want a woman who works to be honest. I think it makes a closer step to two people becoming one, because now you have much more to share. Instead of one person doing these things, and the other person doing those, you both share the same duties per say. I guess the only thing I do want from the "supposedly" stereotypical role standard is a women who is caring and nurturing. Like I saw those recent pictures with Heidi Klum and Seal and I was like man, they don't make women like that anymore. (Or if they do, I unfortunately haven't gotten the chance to meet one.)

But yeah, I think wants most important is to play to the strength of each person, therefore you have a well condition relationship where each partner is doing something they are good at.

 

I get to channel ChiCity for a moment and sum up your post with one sentence... which I'm pretty sure would be a first for me.
