Do men really want mothers instead of wives

Question

do they just want someone to cook and clean for them and take care of them

Answer 1

I am speaking for all men, we are not even remotely into any kind incest... no mothers or sisters or even cousins.  

Answer 2

Not in my experience.  The men I have known have generally been more interested in other qualities.  But then I am not a particularly maternal type (except towards my children) and don't have much interest in looking after adults, so I am not likely to attract the kind of men who expect to be looked after.  The men who went after me generally tended to be fairly independent types.

Answer 3

How does cooking and cleaning equate mother?  That sounds pretty sexist to me......

Anyways, if a man fixes the car does that mean his wife wants a mechanic instead of husband?

Answer 4

Here comes the Freud theories again.

Answer 5

In simplistic terms yes - of course with s*x thrown in.  they want a meal waiting when they come home and not have to lift a finger in the house.

Answer 6

Some times I wonder hu.Or they haven't 'left the nest' yet.

Answer 7

I once heard a woman say "A man wants a lady in the house, a cook in the kitchen, and a w***e in the bedroom." Sorry to say in some cases I think she was right.

Answer 8

Some guys do, but the majority don't... simple as that. Some guys will treat women like second class citizens and think that's all they are good for, but most are not like that and split the household work and both go to work. :)

Answer 9

I can take care of myself when it comes to cleaning and cooking.  

Answer 10

I think it depends on the particular man and his opinions on a woman's role in the home.

My boyfriend grew up with a single mother and I think that definitely affected his view of women as strong and independent. He doesn't belittle me at all and he doesn't expect me to sit around and play housewife in our future. But that doesn't mean he doesn't love it when I cook for him or bake him treats. :)

Answer 11

No, and if that is what your man is using you for, he's a loser.

Answer 12

No, I have a platonic relationship with my mother, how was family life for you?

Answer 13

It depends on the man. In the case of my husband, he likes being able to do all those things himself and he feels he often can do them better than I can.

Answer 14

So, you don't hear me complain. It's very simple I love taking care of my man; you can't stop me so there you are.

Answer 15

I can't speak for all men, but I don't want either, personal choice. I am not happy when people do things for me. A lot of people think too much about themselves and I don't like it when people take a journal jotting down how much they have done for you, ready to hand you the bill as to how much you owe them. It's better this way.
