Men: "women should stay home. Take care of the kids, do chores like cleaning and cooking and should always make sure her man comes home to a hot meal"
Women: "WTF. This isn't the 1950s. You hate women? You're a misogynist. Women can do anything men can do blah blah"
In that same breathe.....
Men: " I think women are equal. We should split households bills, chores and dates down the middle. That's equality after all"
Women: " WTF. Step up. Court me. Take care of the household like a man and pay for everything Chivalry is dead! Where are all the REAL MEN??"
Can't takedown or em serious anymore. Only want equality that benefits them.

Half and half. It's going to be a come up for both parties, unless it's some weird situation where one of them is coming from living w/ their parents and they aren't paying for anything right now.
It's basic math, it's a come up for both individuals, I don't see what the issue is w/ that.

We'll delegate bills beforehand. 70/30 or 60/40
I'm 26 and I'm single with no dependents.
I never lived with my significant other.
I live like a bachelor though, I live alone and pay my mortgage by myself. I clean up the crib regularly, I cook at least 2-3 times a week. I pay all my bills for the crib by myself. So when a chick say she gonna pay for everything else I'm like. I don't believe in a housewife, unless on maternal leave. Bc it's guaranteed I cook better than the chick anyway. Now what I will do is if I pay for majority of everything (like I do now), I would want a significant amount of her money to invest else where (real estate). I'm not about to pay all the bills, and then just have her whole checks be her disposable income
What was the question?
I don't think your position is unreasonable though.

Why would anyone want to live with they girl if she ain't help paying half of the bills. I'd rather have my own shyt, paying all my bills living by myself. But this was a lesson i had to learn the hard way. nikkahs really in here letting social media guilt trip them into taking care of grown women with they own opinions and money.
You can't call yourself the man if you want your woman do pay the lion's share.
fukk what you think with all this new school, feminism, manology shyt.
A man is supposed to provide and be the head of the household. Paying half is bullshyt unless we roommates and I'm sleeping in my own damn room. He does his part and I'll do mines as his woman to make sure the house is running smoothly.

It really isnt
Housing is the major cost of living in the modern world....its why people in these urban enclaves like LA, SF, Denver, Chicago, Seattle, etc can both make high incomes on paper but still live like paupers relatively.
The idea that utilities and "everything else" which is pretty fukking vague is equal to that is hilarious.
A couple is a team......unless there is an enormous disparity in income (for instance one individual makes say 250K and the other 55k) certainly 50/50 or a similar ratio is reasonable
When the other person is buying the food do I eat like a Sultan....do I get to run the AC/Heating with no regard.......etc
When the other person is getting to keep most of their income how do they figure resentment is not going to creep in?
What happens if an unexpected pregnancy occurs in that mix...
Equality as long as you get the upper hand, am I roght?
Women scream feminism until finances comes to play. A full time job making as much as the man, but still want the man to do most of the work and pay most of the bills.

I love you, you know.
The thing is I'm willing "to be the man" 
and be main provider and do a 60/40 and my ex fiancé didn't even want to do that. She was the type to have expensive taste when it comes to a home and promise to pay a certain amount...but when it came to putting up some money...she didn't pay and said men in her family pay for everything. But of course didn't tell me this beforehand. Of course she looked down on renting and buying a small starter home or townhome.

this really depends on 2 things. if she's wifey and what my pay grade
if that's case then i could also cook and clean as well not really a big deal, shyt when my mom was working crazy shifts at the hospital it would be my dad doing all the cooking, cleaning, and driving
