You gave small DIY chores as your exact examples of what women should do to make their men feel 'wanted'. That's what I played off of.

And that was kind of my point; I'm not disputing that people in relationships need to feel needed, but it seems really dumb to me that it has to come from that particular kind of exchange at all. Apparently it's enough to just talk to women and say that (and why) they're attractive/cute/stunning/amazing/ that he wants to be with her, (ie, the 'I like having you around') but i'm just honestly baffled as to why, to do the same for a man, apparently it's a matter of feigning weakness and making silly demands of him. Is there really anything wrong with a straight-forward, "because I love you and you make me happy." as a reasonable purpose?
