I agree I think it's universally known that men want women who treat them like kings of their castle. Men go out into the world with very little support and they are asked to conquer it still. It's up to us, their ladies, to make them feel like they are great.

Mommas may irk us in childhood but sometimes they have solid advice once you're older and lived a few extra years :D Advice from my mother (not Anglo/European at all but still applies):

• Don't get in a man's face. He will eventually hit you.
• Men like food. Cook for him.
• If you don't have children, work your hardest to look beautiful for him.
• Marry a man with patience so that when you DO have children, he will be understanding about your changing figure while you lose the weight.
• Don't cut your hair too short.
• Be kind to his mother.
