am I a well-trained woman??

A widower with 2 children on the site put the below as his 'what I am looking for in a woman.'
This doesn't seem to be uncommon. I have seen men request a woman that cooks and cleans, a woman that can be a good mother to his children, a woman who keeps the house, a woman who contributes her fair share to the bills. Now, taken on their own, maybe each of these are reasonable qualifications that some women might do naturally. but to put them on a dating website makes it feel to me that these men could just as easily be hiring house help on Craig's List. This is 2014. Perhaps men should care more about the character of a woman; chemistry, intelligence, compassion....I don't want to feel like I'm hired help. I have my own house/kid/dogs to take care of, thank you. And I'm not sure that I like the term well-trained. To be fair, I've heard many women talk about training their men. I don't like that either. We are not going to obedience school here, or sending our men there. This is supposed to be romance. Partnership. Love. Friendship. Whatever a person joined the site to find.

I know that I personally didn't join it to be someone's trained woman.



About the one I'm looking for...

i am looking for a well trained and loving woman who is also caring as well.I like a clean house and I will not live with anyone without sharing the bills.
