Because everyone does the thing they want all the time, right?
No "Excuse" that comes out of a man's mouth is valid, right? He lives to serve his partner 24/7.
But then we also get offended when asked, "What do you bring to the table."
I AM THE TABLE!
I can't wrap my mind around this. We wanted to be independent. We wanted to make our own decisions, care for our needs and have men as equal partners. But when we say, "if he wanted to, He would." We imply that he not only owes us But is more capable than anyone else. I understand expecting effort from your partner. And it should be a two-way street. But there could be a million things that "He wanted to" But couldn't. Or didn't. For whatever reason.
Just because we want something Doesn't mean we get it.
It Also Implies He Can Read Minds.
Some things in relationships are taught. They aren't entirely natural; A man isn't born knowing that many women like to receive flowers. A man isn't born knowing that a woman values a carefully planned out date. These things are taught. Every woman is a little different, too—different likes and dislikes, Preferences, Desires, etc.
This quote implies that women are that "simple." We all universally want the same thing, which couldn't be further from the truth.
We want to be treated like special and unique individuals, but we also want him to somehow "know" what we like.
It sounds like we are setting him up for failure.
