Fun says, "A question on practicality."

Have you ever met with girls who expect men to pay for everything when they are out together? That's not the worst of them. They justify their actions by saying, "Hey, I'm picking a husband here. I want to be practical and have a man who can give me the life I deserve."

It seemed like a pretty justified statement, isn't it? But it makes me want to ask, "is 100 pairs of heels practical?" or maybe "is indulging in high-end restaurant every date practical?" and "do you really deserve to live like a queen?"

It isn't wrong for a woman to be practical and seek a partner who is capable of giving her a comfortable life. However, it is too much to ask for when a woman wants a man to be an ATM machine so that she can indulge in her own impractical desires.

Empathy level has been in decline among college students¹ and personally, I think empathy level has declined in the society as a whole. This has resulted in the development of this selfish idea among girls that guys should provide for all their desires without the need to do their roles as the female partner.

A relationship requires contributions from both sides. The man can do the providing for if the woman does the caring after. Play your roles properly, both men and women, and happiness will not be too far away.
