Men want traditional women but forget that traditional men paid all the bills, fixed things around the house, and never asked, "What do you bring to the table"
Traditional men *were the table.*
They led with responsibility, provision, protection, and effort. They understood that if you wanted a woman who cooked, cleaned, nurtured, and held down the home, then you had to create a world she could safely relax in.
They didn’t demand “submission” while offering stress, disrespect, or half-effort.
They didn’t expect a woman to split the bills, carry the emotional workload, and still be feminine, sweet, and soft.
A traditional woman existed because she had a man who handled business, not a man who expected 1950s femininity with 2025 effort.
You can’t ask women to be traditional while being modern and bare minimum yourself.
If you want a woman who shows up fully, you must be the man she can trust, rely on, and feel safe giving her best to.
