so basically companionship?? Nothing tangible. Also, a man basically provides the exact same thing on top of providing and protecting
like i said, a man brings more to a table than female, it is what it is.
I can agree that typically a man is expected to provide tangibles and intangibles during courtship. He is expected to act a certain way and provide certain things from day one. A woman doesn't have the same expectations from some men, depending on who she is dealing with. (Hint: men who are considered simps, beta, etc..)
Some women feel that her looks and her time equals whatever a man is bringing which includes his looks and time. It is expected by some women for a man to accept whatever she CHOOSES to give him, even if said choice is nothing. If it is latter, then it is what it is and a man just going to have to accept it or CITTG and move on.
However, there are exceptions...
Men are created equal, but they are NOT treated equal! Some can do less and receive more from a woman than other men. A man of means and status will have more options and be treated better. The inverse can also be said, but the main
point is that a woman really don't have to do anything and some feel like they don't have to do much, at least in the beginning...
So, yes, some women don't have anything tangible to bring to the table and those who do have tangibles feel that a man have to "earn" said tangibles from her. A man is expected to have tangibles and provide them off top, unless of course he is of means, status and possess certain physical characteristics.
