I have always had what being a good man to your woman is defined as. I never had it defined what I should expect from a woman as my partner though. What are some things I should make sure I’m looking for/ avoiding in a girlfriend (in your opinion?)

It depends on what your life goals are, you want to make sure your direction in life lines up!!! If you want to be a father then make sure she wants to be a mother and if you want biological kids then make sure she wants to be pregnant.

You shouldn’t “expect” anything. Different people want different things out of a relationship, not every woman wants her man to get her flowers and open the door for her, me personally I don’t like that stuff. Some men want a wife to cook and clean or raise kids, some men want a wife to go 50/50 on bills, often time men want a wife who can support them emotionally and personally. There’s no rule as to what you should expect, it depends entirely on what you and your partner want

Similar values and goals. Depending on your aspirations you may want a Christian girl who is waiting until marriage and wants to be a sahm. But overall you want someone who is kind, compassionate, understanding, confident, determined, etc

I’m talking more about like how men get women flowers and should be doing specific things for her. What are the maiden equivalents to that?

Avoid women who can’t take responsibility for their actions. Like if they forget an important thing with you and can’t apologize and just make excuses, or if they keep doing the behavior after apologizing? LEAVE HER

If your life style is up and at ‘em , then find a woman who will meet you with that same attitude and just get after it, or at least is trying to get there.

If there is something you are bad at but working towards adding into your life, find those traits that you are striving for in a partner. Like maybe you are wanting to be working out more often, maybe look for a woman with good discipline! Having traits that you admire in a partner is a great way to find someone you’ll be happy with

I don’t expect my man to do anything but be my friend honestly. I could care less if he does the little romantic stuff like buy me flowers, he knows I prefer food and video games

Ohhh like what to expect in a relationship? Like a standard treatment: a girl who gets you little gifts just because (like bringing you your favorite snack just because they saw it or knew you were having a bad day), common courtesy like offering to help with things she’s been apart of (like if she came over for dinner and offering to help tidy up after), you should definitely expect proper communication and if she lashes out in an argument and calls you derogatory things LEAVE PLEASE

She should be initiating some of the conversations, asking about you and not just herself, initiating physical contact like hand holding or kissing (unless you’ve discussed and are waiting on different kinds of physical intimacy). If she doesn’t show compassion when you are struggling then runnnnn

That’s fair, there are different standards but I feel like some base level things are just common courtesy type things. You communicate and treat each other with respect type thing

Some specific actions that will reflect this is helping children, stopping for an animal on the side of the road, a strong work ethic

After reading the earlier comments I would say that you want someone who does the little things, remembers your favorite foods, knows your order at a restaurant, will pick up a little snack for you while at the store, take care of some tasks she knows you don’t like. Not all women, but most have this instinctive desire to take care of others. The desire is also reflective of her character

As far as what to avoid, again you can learn a lot about her character my the little actions she takes.
