Most of the happiest families i know, are two income families.
Most of our parents, were two income households.
And things have only gotten drastically more expensive in the decades since then.
The mark of a good man isn't in his early retiring you, but the consideration he puts on you in his life.
Is he genuinely in your corner, down like four flat tires?
If the above is there, everything else naturally follows in turn.
This other ish is people who legit lack healthy examples talking and taking up all the air in the room.
My mother worked most of her adult life but would slap the fire out of Oprah and Michelle Obama if they even insinuated that my father didn't treat her like gold.
Because he did.

Hope there's puddin' in the clink...
The only one that needs to understand my interpretation is my wife of 13 years.
There is all kinds of provision.
Most people, due to the cult of capitalism narrow it down to money. That can be part of it, especially in a system that promotes scarcity as a rule but just because you aren't rich does not mean you don't have the value or the power of provision. What you offering to the people you come across? What service are you to others? Do you let people who need the outlet serve you? That is provision. Simply being fully present with somebody at the right time could completely change their lives.
Get it where you fit in.

In my mind the only people deserving of free rides are…
Babies that shyt in their pamper
Re tards that shyt in their pamper
Dogs that shyt on the street
Everyone else has to earn their keep till they age out

She's sitting at home, feet up, laughing at you while you work yourself into an early grave to pay most or all of the bills..... thinking it’s a flex because she patted you on the head and called you a real man....
Damn right.50/50

And it be goofy ass dudes out here that be tryna scare other dudes like "if you don't pay 100% of the bills for her, there is a man out there who will."
My response is "tell her to go get him, then
"Ask a logical dude if he'd rather lose his woman or lose extra income from paying all the bills, and he'd say he'd rather lose his woman

I don't know how you can be on that provider tip when you observe really observe how women think and behave with no restrictions or fear of repurcussions. We are seeing true female nature today and being a provider does not make sense even if you got it. Look for mutual attraction with a woman who has her own assets, you can't buy desire. They know you can't buy desire but they use the male ego against us and men are still falling for it.

For me personally? It means comfort. My financial situation is different...I may a lot of money, my girlfriend makes a lot of money. She moved into my house and I didn't stop doing anything I was already doing financially - I pay the bills for my house. She pays her car note, she added me to her phone plan, couple other small things. Her grandma also cooks for us pretty regularly. It never crossed my mind to ask her to pay anything because I don't need her to, and she moved in with me lol. But if I had asked for 50/50 she wouldn't have any issue with it.
But back to comfort...she doesn't really have to worry about anything. If her grandma doesn't bring food over then I usually cook. We both clean the house because we come from cultures that value cleaning on Saturday mornings. She has some health issues and I take care of her when she needs it. If her car needs anything (oil, gas, etc) I handle it. If she's traveling for work, I take her to the airport and pick her up. Whatever I can do to make her comfortable...I do it.
I think the modern, quasi sex worker view of "comfort" is that it means the man pays for everything or else. This never crosses my girl's mind because she's an adult with a good job/profession. I think if men just stopped fukking with broke chicks from broken homes this wouldn't be a conversation. A successful adult - man or woman - does not beg for money.

they never let the good people speak. these people are filled with inner chaos and seek dark, manipulative control. they will tell you about the requirements of a healthy relationship while all they’ve ever done is whore around. the many of stupid will fall for their bs and diss the red pill who initially who came in with a healthy mindset towards women until their ideals were shattered through learning about how society and human behavior truly operates towards them.
notice how being a “real man” only ever caters to them while they just sit on their ass and drain your resources and dignity.
men love soft, peaceful women
women love choatic men who happen to put them first as a nutrag
