A man is supposed to

Not a lot to ask. Just the basic human decency.

Take care of his health and hygiene
not watch porn or hentai
not go to strip clubs even if it's a 'friend' thing
be open-minded towards trying activities I like

While what I'm going to say sounds like common sense, I'll add on, because it's easy to fall into the pickme trap with any of these:

🌬 Absolutely zero orbiters, especially when you're official.

Many people will say it's good to have them when you're single which, isn't bad, but most men keep them in their back pocket/on hand jUsT iN cAsE.

🌬 That one girl friend you just don't feel good about needs to be out of the picture.

Blah blah controlling blah blah. All that aside, I see soo Many women rationalize their supposed partners prioritizing whole ass other women in their life when THAT woman needs to be front, centre and the only one. If he's even a little hesitant to drop the female friend that is making it obvious he's "her territory" or "she was there first", she can have him.

🌬 Spending his spare time with other women when it should be you.

Nah, sis. He isn't going fishing with the girl. He's not just hanging out. If he's prioritizing other women over you, the answer is clear. People will guilt trip you into "letting him have female friends" but there's a reason our gut instinct usually says otherwise.

I will add on when I can remember, my mind is being slow today lol.

I’m cracking the fuck up because I can see all the angry scrotes on here commenting! “And what do you bring to the table?” You’d literally pay 2 cents to lick the crack of my ass if I allowed you to, be gone scroaches. 😭🖐🏽

A huge one for me would be to RESPECT AND ENCOURAGE INDIVIDUALITY FOR ME AND FOR HIMSELF. That includes supporting my hobbies, friendships, interests, literally anything and everything that is outside of himself or our relationship together. If a man can’t hang with me having my own life and/or he doesn’t have a life of his own (with healthy hobbies, interests, and friendships), I don’t want him. There is nothing worse than a boring man that demands all of your attention and slowly strips you of everything you love.

Gifts, nice features on random days too, not only special occasions.

Since finding FDS I've been trying to stop romanticizing men and the bare minimum they do and this list really helped me realise that this really is the bare minimum. Do you know why? Because these are all things I used to do in my past relationships without giving it a second thought. This was always MY bare minimum. Why should it not be the same for men? They are the ones always crying about double standards because they are supposed to pay for a date, so... Here you go. These are the things that I do in a relationship, I expect the same from you, no double standard here, I hope you're happy now lol

Except now that I'm thinking about it, maybe I shouldn't do all these things as a default... But also I don't want to lower myself to their level... Any opinions welcome, I'm not sure which one is the right outlook tbh

Have a brain and be intelligent (emotional, financial, rational literacy) and be able to have respectful and empathetic discussions. No time for a man that can’t hold a conversation or is drowning in his own biases 🙄

Good job! I suggest all girls have a list like this
