felixis99: I don;t think it would much matter here try as you may to flip things around, I think most know quite well what is meant without you attempting to bait an argument. I prefer how we do things here. We marry for love. I have read in the news what happens to women in your culture who TRY to marry for love. scary.
I agree to the extent that a responsible person will want to marry another responsible person, but the lack of the mention for love is disquieting to me. I also think responsibilities and expenses should be shared without "demands."
We have acknowledged that there cultural differences at play here. So I am not sure that calling names like golddigger really means anything. But certainly we can criticize a cultural practice (our own or another) in a forum of free speech?
What una said earlier about the difference between a couple managing finances and looking only at a man for his wallet, those being different things (I can;t remember exactly how she said it)

You are most welcome to express your opinions !!! I agree that responsibilities and expenses should be shared without demands ... but what you will do if your partner is not ready to share responsibilities? would you walk out instantly ? would you make demand ?

But you're making the demands before you're even committed to this guy
inn0cent_soul: again my dear! cultural difference! there are courtships where demands are made before getting committed !!! Life exist in various forms
I'd love to hear from a few men in your country...and how they feel about it

Probably I would not have become involved in the first place, to answer the question.
making demands seldom accomplishes anything. not many people will want a partner who makes demands. Perhaps a gentle discussion about attitudes toward divison of household chores and finances would be an idea
