Let the man provide, protect and care for you. In return would you cook, clean and do his laundry? Perhaps pick out his suit and tie too... maybe even wear maids outfit!

Are you kidding me?, Of course I would, and more,,,who wouldn't..
Yeah right. No fun in that Hon. Gotta keep those poor guys guessing.:heehee:
Sorry no way. I believe in equality. I would do some cooking and we would share household duties maybe even dividing them along traditional gender roles, but nope, if he wants a slave and plaything there he can find another woman. If he wants someone to share his life and joy, then we can do that.
I don't date men because I am married, but I do handle most of the female roles around the house. I do the laundry, keep the house clean, and share the cooking duties. I tell my wife all the time that I missed my calling and should have been a housewife. To me it would be the perfect life...
Yes,yes and yes!

Vicki :hugs:
I would be extremely happy to be a traditional wife---I can still dream, can't I?
I would love to be the wife or play the wife role with a GG
It wouldn't be that big a change. I already do 95% of the cooking and all the cleaning. Doing it in a dress would be a bonus.
I'd be bored to death staying home like that.
I only want to be a trophy wife....dayspa,hair ,nails,gym,lunching,picking out new window treatments,etc. Oh,everything else,well,I do most of that now without batting an eyelash and in a skirt to boot. But,I can have a trophy wife fantasy..:D
Have to admit . . . I would suck @ the job . . . I leave my stuff all over the house, but would be good at cooking, Its just the cleaning up part thats the problem, lol
I can tell you that I wouldn't date a traditional man, fifties era at any rate. And a traditional husband? With so many traditional negative qualities? Let me get back to you about that.
Gads, what century are we in?
If I was born a real woman I'd do that as well as be his willing sex toy!
But I'm a guy and will never mess with men!
The last 15 years of my marriage to my late wife I did most of the evening meals so that is not new to me. To be a kept woman would be fine as long as equality is a must. To be anything less would be a travesty to all women whether gg or tg/ts.
mho Teri
I don't think this should be a gender issue. To me marriage is an emotional and intellectual partnership. I grew up in the 50's and that "tradition" of a marriage is right out of the Neanderthal Era imho. I would only be attracted to an intelligent and intellectually stimulating spouse in an arrangement where we pull together. The house must be cleaned because of the second law of thermodynamics, but that doesn't mean either of us should spend more than the bare minimum of time doing it! The rest of the time should be spent being creative together (outside of earning a living). Those are the two words...creative...together!
If you haven't got enough intelligence to pick out your own ties, you aren't for me!

I would not, I don't do much of anything the traditional way.
Umm Sean, if you are looking for a wife that is TG, that is understandable..
...I don't suppose that while you were at work, I would be the community DNA dumpster, would be alright?
Well, I don't date men, but if I were, would I be the traditional wife....are you kidding??? This is the 21st Century...ain't no way I'm going to sit around and clean while he goes out into the world. The 50's are long over...thankfully! No, I'd be a career woman all the way. :)
Heavens, Karen, my statement was not about your mother, it was about me. Heck, my mother puts the toothpaste on my father's toothbrush every day and they have a wonderful marriage of 60 years!
It's just not for me!
And for that matter, my marriage is not stale either. We do everything for each other. I just could not exist in that stereotype...but that's just me!

Funny- as a husband, I cook dinner most of the time, do the laundry, help the kids with their baths, and clean the house. And have a full time job. I seem to be halfway there already.
Seriously though, had I been a woman and married to a man who could support us on his single income, I would gladly have accepted the role of a housewife. I enjoy being the caregiver and homemaker.
Melanie
Ok Tina, no problem then, I hear what your saying...
It's certainly not for everyone...I can understand that too...
From what I have observed over a long period of time is, all that equality ever did for women in recent years, was take a mother out of the house and away from their children in order to pursue a career, in many cases it is due to financial reasons, and close the gap in the cases of heart related deaths due to more stress because of that career.
I'm all for equal RIGHTS, but I don't look at being a housewife as such a bad thing...It's just that I would love to be a trophy wife for the right guy..and I know he would love what I could do for him too, I want him to feel happy & content on fulfilling his manly duties...:heehee:
:hugs:
That is my dream, yes!

Good luck finding a man who can provide, protect, and care for himself, let alone someone else...get real.

Awwwwww, I'm sorry, and I know that has happened to many other women too, including my own sister after she found out he was cheating on her with their babysitter which was also a student in his HS class...they divorced and had to provide for herself because the child support wasn't enough...Quote:

So thanks Reine, your advise is well understood & I thank you so much for reminding me of that...
:hugs:
Karen, it's OK. :hugs: I still like to believe in Cinderella too. :)
I'd like to keep my job, but I could do it from home for the most part. As of now I work from home at least 2 or 3 days a week. That would make it ideal if we had kids.
Great then, Don't stop believing, because that very same sister meet such a great guy later on, he was a single dad of my nieces best friend down the street from them, I used to see him at all the B-day parties we had for the kids, and he had just went though a terrible divorce recently too, and he just so happened to have a great job, a CFO in S&W, then onto a big promotion to Murray as the CFO which is HUGE, and then onto another company... After 20 years of marriage now, he's still one of the nicest guy's I ever known, besides my dad of course....and she been able to live in her fairy tail dream house and lives the good life and very happy now thanks to him..Quote:

I'd go nuts in that kind of arrangement. The whole concept would make me feel trapped. "What I have to stay at home and sort the house while you go out and live?"
There seems to be so much finality to it all. Get married, have kids, become a house wife.. It would feel like being in a cage for me. Knowing what I'd have to do day in day out for the rest of my life would crush my spirit.
I've already been housebound through sickness, no way would I do it again willingly for another.
I wouldn't be interested in a man who felt that he had to look after me in that way. I want an equal partner, someone who doesn't expect me to act a certain way because of my gender.
I'd love to, but I know it ain't going to happen. Not necessary with a man, though. *giggles*
As for reality I think it would be wiser to divide the household jobs between the two and have both work.
Hi...
This would be very hard for me to accept a man . so i would say no .
I know this sounds like a male hater . & in many ways it is . i prefer being around women .
I know we Jos & i have been married for 35 years & to gether for 37 . so doing things ..like around the home done that for years . & still do . not as a male or a woman . just me as who i am.
Having kids yes . looking after them & loving them yes . & being with them . yes .
Having a man around . the mere fact of. makes me crawl all over . while reading these posts . just hammered me . sorry guys . it just the way i m wired . i cant explain it .
To have a relationship with a man ...oh dear ...no...& any way at 62 . i dont think so .
...noeleena...
In my dreams. I'm a prety traditional spouse as it happens.
Lol. I'm very happy for her! But my inner-Cinderella wants to provide for herself in a meaningful and creative way, AND have a partner who believes in her dreams too.Quote:

I agree with rogina garter "Trophy Wife"
I would keep myself in shape.
Wear sexy clothes.
Work for non-profits, go out a lot.
and of course keep both of us satisfied ( plus some ).

I used to believe that if I came into enough that I no longer needed to work, I would just hang out. After being able to take a year off, I have totaly rethought that. I know there a lot of people that are or would make great stay at home parents but I found that was not me.
Ladies be carefull what you wish for.
As long as he shares the bacon, I'd be the perfect wife!
well i'm uniployed at the moment. ive been doing all the cooking for the past 20 yrs and now i do all the laundry the wife likes it because #1 she hates doing it #2 she likes it because i get out the stains she gets on her blouses she calls me darby and when im running behind on keeping the house she threatens to take away my sock and house frock that I like to clean in I love this role
I'd love to with the right man, but I have to look like that woman in that pic, and I definitely want that dress too, maybe in pink tho. :D
Karen
Me too. The first thing he did was tell me what I could or couldn't wear when going out of the house. He wanted me in loose baggy frumpy clothes, no makeup, and he wanted to know where I was going and who I'd be seeing.Quote:
