I feel where Clarke is coming from. There aren't too many women that take pride in these things, and even if they do it's not like we can't do these things for ourselves. It would be nice if a woman offered to do these things without then reiterating (holding it over a dude's head) that they did it over and over again.
Like I said before:
Being single is not bad. Like you agreed to disagree with me about loneliness, or rather better put, being alone, I feel it is an integral part in the development of a male becoming a man.
If you ever think about indigenous people, especially our ancestors, the men would go on vision quests and walk abouts for days, sometimes weeks. They had to hunt, kill, cook, clean, live off the land and provide their own for the duration of these tests of manhood. It's only in modern times that man has become accustom to the care of a woman 24/7.
My grandfather taught me how to cook, shoot a gun, box, sew, fix cars, garden and suture, and clean, even though my grandmother did most of the cooking and cleaning.
My point is that I don't think you can be truly appreciative of a woman doing those things you mentioned Legacy if that man hasn't experienced being alone/single himself.
As far as companionship and intimacy, I mean you can find that in a woman without being married to them. It's just how long the woman is willing to be content with that set up. Most aren't down, but men certainly are. IMHO, at that stage, you may as well become married, but to alleviate all stress, get you a will and a prenup and you both will have a peace of mind...
But most women would NOT want to do the last phrase I bolded and highlighted in red...![]()
