My husband has only cried a few time in front of me. When our daughter died 2 years ago, when his father passed away, when his dog died and when after 30 years his business failed. I thank god I have him, he is the ying to my yang.
I don't think GG meant the list as a prerequisite for men to measure up to. I think she was just saying that these are things that women like about men, like killing spiders. Mine killed one this morning! But that would not be a good prerequisite for picking a husband, would it? While dating I had men who were more afraid of them than I was.
PS-I think you men (certain men) are being too hard on the women here. It is just a list and we are from the same species.

i covered about 90% of those (requirements). also, i have been married to the first and only wife for 36 years, it's work, simple as that, be more selfless, get more reward, more respect and more luvin, everything in life is a trade, if she makes my life easier and more enjoyable, i will return the favor, not real complicated. put youself 2nd and you'll be put first by her!!

Yes, sir, it does and that is how it should work. It was just a listing of good traits. It sure did stir things up.

well said.
All the guys here that have been bitching about girls (now THEY are bitching), it is obvious that they have never loved, or if they did they prob screwed everything up, then got their hearts back in a sandwich baggie.
It is true though that men have to put up with a lot from girls, meaning men have to mold and adopt to women, whereas women usually change little their habits.
But there comes what shoemaker said, and what GG i thinks reflects with her varied list: What do we get back for changing, for going from a self-centered bachelor with spare money to a responsible and caring partner (ideally), well i think we get a lot back, more than what we put in.
I dated a girl few years ago, and i knew that i could put up with her constant ranting about her girl friends (facts: most girls hate their close friends), then about her family, then in nutshell all the "bitching" some have referred to. But I knew it was all worth it when I saw her smile, when we hugged & kissed, when we shared a good meal together, when we were alone and naked, when we smoked together: it was all worth it, the shine in her eyes when she smiled was enough to put me at the top of the world, nothing else mattered. I loved her and I loved making her happy, because if she was happy then I was grand and nothing could beat me, and I would protect her and never let anything bad happen to her, because together we were one, invincible.
All she gave me belittles any "bitching", going shopping, cleaning up, everything else seems too earthly compared to what we had. Sadly for me we had part away.

LMAO!!!! that amuses the shit out of me
So now "women" only want Americans and a couple of people here and there? I think i'd throw myself infront of the first line of traffic if i were trapped in that kind of relationship. Fuck, i'd be temmtped to top the bitch if that's what it took

Why does this have so many replies lmao. Some of those you stated are reasonable, other's are completely ludicrous and come with many factors in ones life.. It's more complicated then how your trying to make it sound. Kinda seems like your ranting about what you wish your bf would be or something like that.

PE, electrical engineer, lets talk phase differentials
i also meet 90% of the requirements... but i only go that far for a woman that's worth it...
sadly, in my neck of the woods, there arent very many worth it.

This one is for WoddaWodda-
Young man I am probably double your age or more. Am I thin, no. Am I pretty? Probably not or not any more. But, I have the love of a good man, who has some, but not all the qualities on that list. But, I have the man I have because my father gave me some very good advice when I was about 16 years old.
And it is advice that I'd like to impart to all the young women who will read this. My father told me to watch how a man treats his mother and that is how he will treat his wife. No truer words have been spoken. I have watched this with my friends, it is true.
I remember hearing a saying a long time ago and it goes like this, men usually marry women just like there mothers- also very true.
So young man, you are probably doomed to repeat the history of your family. My advice is that you seek a good mental health provider for your own sake and the sake of the children who you will procreate and to stop the rage that is in your words and to stop the cycle of discontent in your life.
I think that most of the mature men on this thread will agree with me. Life is best shared with a person that treats you like you are part of their soul.
God bless and give you peace,

I think it has something to do with the saying, those that do not know or understand history are doomed to repeat it or some nonsense like that.
But, I have noticed that it is true for both sexes. Women have a tendency to marry men like their fathers, I did. But, I had a father that was just incredible and treasured my mother. And for that my mother took care of him as if he was the most precious thing on earth as his life faded away from a disease he got from his job.
I count myself as a lucky one.

Uhm this might apply to some.. Sorry for your loss, but im not going to pitty a false statement. Alot of kids have cracked out mom's they are taking care of.. its not like they are going to treat their wife like a crackhead later on.. Your theory doesn't work

I don't know what you think i'm saying I'm just an entirely different person around my mother. You will find me sat down talking about politics, ethics, religion, cannabis, you name it, for over 5 hours at times, anyone else, and good morning is around the most anyone will get. Quite possible that i'm just an exception though, people seem to think of me as a trifle mad for some reason or other
