Women Tired of Men's 'What Do You Want?' Question: We Want Your Money and Love
A viral opinion piece mocks men who question women's desires while offering little themselves, demanding financial stability alongside emotional connection. The author calls out the double standards of expecting a perfect 'Proverbs 31 woman' without providing equivalent value.

In a sharp, humorous takedown, a writer responds to men’s endless podcasts and debates asking, ‘What do women want?’ Her blunt answer: financial security first, with genuine love as a bonus.
She points out the hypocrisy of men labeling women ‘gold diggers’ for wanting provision, while these same men offer only their gender as the ‘full package.’ No dates, no flowers, no trips—just expectations of premium romance on a zero-balance budget.
The piece contrasts this with men’s ideals: a Proverbs 31 woman who’s CEO, chef, therapist, and more, complete with flawless skin and curves. Meanwhile, women hustle relentlessly, dreaming of soft lives between invoices.
Demands are clear: a Range Rover, a condo with views, Bali trips, and yearly rent upfront. Wealth isn’t gold-digging, the author argues—it’s alignment. Want softness? Provide safety. Seeking a perfect partner? Bring stability, not just proverbs.
Ultimately, women want both love and money, plus abs if possible. Stop forcing choices and step up, or don’t call.
