I honestly feel like that way of thinking is outdated. :manny:

I have no desire to spend my money or put my life at risk for some woman :manny:


The fear is if you don't - you'll actually think critically about surrendering
your resources and realize how selfish women actually are

That would be a disaster for the economy and society as a whole.

No it's not and I have no problem with that tbh

Just as long as it goes both ways

Then what's the basis of the thread? Relationships are at the core mutually beneficial. Women traditionally don't work so that they can provide a nurturing home.

If a woman works then domestic duties are split. That's pretty standard.

As far as protecting, as someone else said, you'll be hard pressed to find a woman who will be okay you leaving her to the wolves if she is in danger but you can find it. Women protect their men and child too and you unwillingness to do that probably means you'll sacrifice a lot of respect.

So what if said neighbor had guns and was an active gang member? You gonna send ya boo to death or harm cause somebody called you a bytch?

if the gun toting gang banging neighbor saw u walking by and grabbed your ass and said "damn my nikka u looking thick" would u fight him?

clearly, there are circumstances you'd feel ok fighting the dude behind. if i'm not one of them, then you not my man. i don't even think in this scenario most women would let u actually go fight, they'd stop u at the door. but the guy would at least have to show a willingness to protect her

I feel the same way. I grew up in a household where my Mom was a stay at home mom and my Dad worked. Growing up seeing how that dynamic works caused me to realize that's not the lifestyle I want to have. It doesn't motivate me and I don't like the idea of providing for a woman that doesn't work. Previously I was open to the idea of being the typical provider if the woman plays the supporter role perfectly but the thing is how many women can even handle that. Most women can't even play the supportive role without becoming unhappy about it :OLIVIAFACEPALM1:

I'm a lot more attracted to women that want to contribute and don't want to be carried by a man. I've also found out that once a man meets a woman he connects with and truly likes (can possibly grow to love) then it's natural to want to uplift and protect that woman. It doesn't feel like a job or something that she's entitled to. The whole entitlement with women expecting a man to protect and provide for them is a big turn off for me and I don't think women that believe in traditional gender roles are for me.
