This is nice.

Exactly this☝🏼. My husband is the same and it’s soo possible if we just hold onto our standards and have boundaries in place for our benefit.

Edit: It goes without saying that this is entry level in the world of standards, and the sad part is most men don’t meet these even. A true HVM goes above and beyond these but this is a basic guideline of where the line needs to start for women to get better treatment in their relationships.

Repulsive-Ad1092 · 2021-01-31T16:49:20+00:00

Exactly, this is what ANY grown man should do. This is not even HVM, it is BASIC HUMAN DECENCY

If you want to know who someone is, ask them what their values are and then look at what they do.

High value isn’t bare minimum. Societal pressure has eroded women’s standards so much to gaslight us into thinking that anyone not treating us horribly is treating us amazing

"Not to brag or anything, but my husband is a functional human being" SWEET

ferociouslycurious · 2021-01-31T19:30:15+00:00

Yes. Why is it my job to take care of MIL birthday and Christmas? I barely know the woman. Also not my job to invite her to visit, or to arrange visits to her. Get off your butt and do it yourself. “I didn’t realize how isolated I’ve become” he said. “I can place a lot of that blame on myself”. NO KIDDING SHERLOCK! Stop blaming me. It’s called laziness. Inertia if you want to be fancy.

Is this HV or is it just being a functional adult?

Sure, this is all good stuff, but I'm sure she does all of the same things, maybe more. He's not special for adulting.

Normalize male maturity.

musicallymirrored · 2021-01-31T20:51:59+00:00

My husband does all of these things. Just means he can be a functional room mate. Doesn’t make him good at the love and intimacy and mutual respect marriage requires. And yet, I am aware how much more he does than many men out there.

Ugh bitter feminists expect too much!!!

peachesngrunge · 2021-01-31T18:21:04+00:00

Where are those though.

NorthrnSwede · 2021-01-31T17:53:14+00:00

Shaming women for men being POS? Nah. Get help with your internalized misogyny.

Miss_Insher · 2021-02-01T00:36:24+00:00

I mean, this is great. But also feel like men would do a lot and go out of their way for an objectively beautiful woman. And not necessarily because they are HVM, but because beauty in men's world (and society) is a virtue in itself?

Edit: spelling

UmmmHiHello · 2021-01-31T16:59:57+00:00

I mean, I still would happily fuck/marry bare minimum.

Does your husband have a brother?! 🧐

ceilingkatwatchesus · 2021-02-02T15:26:34+00:00

For the life of me. Why is it hard for most men to do basic everyday adult hooman things? Can build a gaming computer from scratch but can't do laundry or cut a bagel..... Like huh?

This basic shit is taught when they’re children. My sons never got kudos or praise or money for making the most basic contribution to the family. And the one time the oldest complained, I open the door and told him that homeless man would gladly switch spots with you and gladly scrub the toilet, walk the dog, help with dinner, look after your brother...etc. for a warm home, healthy food, clean clothes,and parents engaged in their well being.

Kudos is staying up all night to draw your wife while she’s sleeping because she just that beautiful that a sketch of you in his mind, is just not good enough. 💜
