There are so many ways to be "taken care of".. Financially which alot of times is the easiest.
Emotionally which can be draining
Sexually hope you are compatible.

I think that no one should be taken care of on a long term basis without giving back. Everything is a balance nothing should be expected of another person because of their sex.

For Example My sister has been the breadwinner in her family for over 10 years my brother in law couldn't return to the job he was trained to do, my sister always wanted to be a special Ed teacher. The slowly slipped into evolving the roles. My brother in law and Sister would be highly offended if someone ever told them that He was a kept man because she was the bread winner. Like she said has anyone priced the cost of a nanny/housekeeper lately they make damn good money.. Anyone that stays at home taking care of the family is working their asses off just as hard or sometimes harder than the one out in the world.
JMO.

Great topic BTW

Well, here's the rub on that one. I'm not comfortable being "taken care of" by a guy. For one thing, I love my job, and would go crazy not being able to do it. And, if a woman is seeking to be taken care of by "her" man, wouldn't that drop her into the category of "gold digger" that I see so many posts complaining about?

I don't believe everything that I read or hear at the university.

Critical Thinking is a great class. If you haven't taken it yet -- I suggest doing so. It will teach you the skills to sort through 'studies' and baseless data.

To love me!
To worship me!
To cater to me!
To please me!

Eggggzzzzeleeeeent point!

If I was in a successful 'role' reversal marriage, I would be highly offended that statics said we should fail. I think the same is true for casual observers that aren't actually involved.

Do what works for the marriage and don't let outside influences dictate our lives.

there's a difference between not believing everything you read at university, and not believing anything you read at university.

i never said i believed without a shadow of doubt what was being said. i think i put forward my alternate point of view with a "might" in there somewhere if you care to read it again.

just trying to engage a conversation here and my critical thinking is fine thanks for wondering

Ok

Hell, when you think about it...marriage fails enough on its own, it really doesn't need any help by gender. The lesson in this all? Don't get married, don't suffer an aneurysm (marriage is the leading cause of aneurysms).

To hold the couch down and guard the house while you're working 2 jobs.To give you someone to fetch slippers and beer for. Someone who gives you the reason to look for the remote, my pants, car keys, etc. Give you someone, with a hearing aide so it can be turned down, to tell all about how rough a day you had and all the stuff you found at the yard sales. To give you those satisfying nods even though he's not really paying attention.
Did I miss anything?
Ready ta' git hitched yet?

Alright everyone, please do not throw things at me too hard!

It is my OWN personal belief that a man should be honored as the head of the household: loved, honored, cherished and treated with respect. As a woman who is in love with that man - I want him to make decisions, with my input, on what is best for US. I want him to know that I am his partner, will support him, love him and do whatever I can for him so that in 5, 10 or 20 years down the line we can stand side by side, look back at the path we have traveled together, and smile as we see wht we have accomplished, through the good and the bad.

I have been in a relationship where I have been the decsion maker, the one who has been the primary person in charge of everything, and I didn't like it.

As the song goes: I want a man to stand beside me, not in front of or behind me, give me two arms that want to hold me, not own me, and I'll give all the love in my heart, stand beside me....

Just my very humble opinion.....

What a beautiful young Woman!

Don't know why anyone would throw anything at you, lol. It's your opinion, and you have a right to it. Also, if that's what works for you and your SO, and makes you both happy, then who else has a right to an opinion about it?

Thank you.

Thank god I'm not the only one who still carries this opinion. I hope you find him!

thanks for your opinion

you forgot being someone to kill the "meeces" and cockroaches

Every day is one step closer.....and you, as well

That's my hobby. I'll sit on the couch with the bb gun and shoot 'em.

take it we're talking heterosexual here?

whatever the role is, nobody told me of the auditions nor did they provide me a script.
guess i'll have to wait for the next theatrical production.
