Men care about a woman's sexual history because it hearkens to a primal instinct to protect against paternity fraud.

Contrastingly, most women couldn't care less about a man's sexual history. It's just not something that keeps us up at night.

Women care about a man's ability to provide because it hearkens back to a primal instinct to be cared for during our most vulnerable state - pregnancy.

Contrastingly, most men couldn't care less how much a woman makes or if she has a career. It's just not something that keeps them up at night.

I'm making this point because though I typically find TRP annoying, I'm finding it even more annoying that some women have innate preferences they double down on, but are upset that men have innate preferences they can't explain rationally in modern times.

inb4 someone says "I have the most passionate sex life with my husband and I'm also the primary breadwinner and I have never cared if my husband/BF could provide for himself let alone others I much prefer it this way." That's great, honestly.

But also rare.

Most women, whether they admit it or not, kind of sort of want their male SO to meet them at their level.

SideNote: Yes, a man can make up for what he lacks in "providership" with other mascluine qualities that signal protection... maybe he's a SAHD but he also is a freelance mechanic and prefers to mow the lawn in levi jeans, boots, and shirtless -- pecs, abs, and arms glistening in the sun!

This is what women imagine when they imagine men doing the laundry! To be fair my ex and current SO did laundry like this so yes ladies it's achievable! haha
