I’ve had the opposite problem and maybe it’s somewhat geographical (I’m in the Seattle metro area which is a liberal stronghold) but the women I have dated are unwilling to follow the path I am on even as I’m explicit that I want to be the provider and leader. It’s frustrating and the complete opposite of how I grew up with my dad as provider / protector / leader.

The women I have experience with seem unhappy, unstable and listless while trying to lead and provide for themselves. But at the same time unwilling to change their path. Weird times.
