Most of the things on the list are common sense things you'd do for someone you're in a relationship with, but today's western woman sees just about anything done for a man as degrading in some way. As one of you touched on, it's the paranoia that if you treat a man well, the sentiment will not be returned. At the same time, a man that adores them is rejected for one that doesn't. They contradict themselves into a position where they end up with neither, and then blame men for that too.
Some time ago, I had a long email discussion with an acquaintence about cooking. Her contention was that she would not cook for a dude unless he was "my man." Basically, a guy that's jumped through all the hoops, passed all the tests, and is officially in a relationship with her. My suggestion was that if you did that for him in the early stages of dating, he might be quicker to commit because you showed him how you felt about him by taking care of him. NOPE. "I have girlfriends who cooked for guys, and then all they did was come through, eat, fuck and leave" she wrote. I warned against withholding, because men are definitely attuned to being taken advantage of. It's important to do SOMETHING for a man that shows he's not wasting his time. NOPE. She refused. I told her that in any number of cultures, cooking is a way of showing affection. NOPE, fuck that. I communicate with women from all over the world, and so many of them have offered to cook something for me. An Indian chick in South Africa offered to make a seafood dish for me, and have all three of her sisters BAKE for me. She regularly cooks for the family and visiting friends. So does her mom. No big deal. I've had a couple of German chicks offer to bake Schokoladenkuchen (chocolate cake) for me. I have a chick in Peru that wants to bake me an apple pie, AND have her mom bake me a cake. This woman calls me once a month. She's sent Christmas gifts (little handmade Peruvian crafts). We've never met in person.
A married chick from Spain I was seeing on the west coast for years would pick me up at the airport and greet me like a conquering hero. She'd have on a skirt and boots, because she knows I like that look. I always took an early flight, so she knew I hadn't had anything to eat. First thing, she'd whip me up a little something. Just basic consideration. She'd always have on a nice Victoria's Secret bra and panties (for some reason I was on the catalogue list, and would send her any sale coupons that came with the catalog) to look sexy for me, even though they were going to come off in short order. These are all little things that add up, and show that a person cares about your happiness. But yet, an American bitch feels it's beneath her to do these things, some of which take NO effort? FUCK YOU TRICK. Bottom line, a woman's greatest value to a man is to be a good companion. To show him affection in all its forms. For guys that can't cook, she can provide that too. However, women may frown upon cooking because they CAN'T. So in the end, if a woman is unwilling to show a man consistent affection, she's of no use to him.
