Men: Do you lose respect for a woman that doesn't work?

Question

Assuming there is no disability or kids involved.

Answer 1

Yes. Women should stop acting like parasites.

Answer 2

I have a childless friend who tutors kids that can't afford to pay for tutoring.  She takes good care of her husband and is a wonderful person.  If that answers your question.

Answer 3

Not at all. It takes a lot to stay home.

Answer 4

If I could make enough money on my own where we have all of our needs and a good portion of our wants satisfied, then, I would love for my wife to stay home. IMHO real men are supposed to go out and get it done to the best of their abilities (no matter what) and women should have a choice. For God's sake they have to put up with us!  I can see the "thumbs down" now.

Answer 5

Depends on what she is doing. If she is just living off someone yes. If she has her own way to support herself or concentrates on volunteering or something like that, no.

Answer 6

Depends staying at home and taking care of the house can be work, but with no kids it doesn't take up that much time and yes, i consider the peggy bundies of the world to be unworthy of respect

If some one is at home and taking care of the house because thier kids have grown and moved out i still have respect for them because they have done a very meaningful and hard job and are having a bit of a "retirement"

Answer 7

depends on how hot she is.

Answer 8

Nope i want to take care of my woman. I prefer that she stays home that way strangers don't get paid to neglect my kids.

Answer 9

Do you consider housework and cooking not working? I mean really doing it.

I prefer working long hours (which luckily I don't have to) and coming home and find a clean home and a good meal and a lovely wife. Than having her go to work, and come home and having it dirty and no food and an nagging overstressed woman.

I respect more a woman that takes care of her home than a woman that neglects her home to go working as a slave for someone else.

Answer 10

No.

Answer 11

If it's laziness of some kind, then absolutely, yes.

Answer 12

Yes, I would not have any respect for her. I don't think anyone would have respect for another if they didn't contribute to the financial goals of the relationship prior to having children, purchasing a house. The evolution of the relationship would remain stagnant. Then again you will find more slander against men in your other question than men slandering against women with their choice in lifestyle within this question. Over there we are bums, lazy, a large child. Don't forget ladies, those are gender neutral terms and can apply to you as well.

Societal Double Standard or do women put more emphasis on what a guy can provide for her from a materialistic standpoint? What about vice versa?

Answer 13

No, most women do work unless there housewives or disabled
