Re: What do women bring to the table?
*All the things you listed in the first post are your Islamic responsibilities. And the woman has her own responsibilities, which obviously you wouldn't know of since it sounds like you've never been around a decent woman. *

freshly made perfectly round rootis. 
** And the woman has her own responsibilities**** **
I;m curious what are those? do u mind sharing some??
women don't want to cook, clean, any house work etc (feel like maid/slave)
want to put kids into daycare and carry on with career
so what are they good for?
only thing comes to mind is SEX :D
Women bring nothing to the table. All desi men have a very content life, full of happiness, joy and fulfilment.
How's the hand btw?
Errr...i mean, all the computer game-playing must be a killer on the wrists, non?
And ladies should be asked about fingers :D
err.. I mean all that typing on the keyboard must be hurting fingers.

Everything in bold is your assumtion and a generalization.
There are more then enough women who are willing to take their responsibilities seriously, like cooking and taking care of kids. And if she has a career, well, thats a plus, no?
And if you marry a gold digger, who sits at home painting her nails while her kids are at day care, well, thats you're fault isn't it?
There are not many men who can wake up at 4 Am cook a salan, clean up from last night, wash dishes, put a load of laundry in, then go to work for 8 hours. Come back warm up everything for dinner, set the table nicely, feed the kids, relax with hubby, and after everyone is asleep come up with a manu for the next day!
I'm not saying a man is weaker but its amazing how ALLAH has made women to be able to go through soo much and bear it all with confidence.
So it really is sad how less respect women get for all the work they do!
Mods will do justice with this thread if they delete all posts except the original question and this beautiful answer above.
Re: What do women bring to the table?
Women brings with her the shoulder that man can put his head on and cry (while putting his man*liness* aside) whenever he need to/feel like and rest assured that he will be taken care off.... isnt it women's shoulder be it mom's or wife's?

Not really, you girls act all goodie goodie during rishta/engagement and true colors come out after marriage.
Women need not bring anything to the table. We’re delicate creatures who must be handled with love and affection from the day we’re born till the day we die, because we are Allah di rehmat. We got jannat underneath our feet so, men of the world, **straighten yo boothis and massage our feet!

The point of this thread was to highlight the prism by which men are chosen as suitable marriage material. It is pay day. Regardless of how many people say "I am not like that, or I would never do that", in Pakistani society men are valued on their abilities to provide materialistic luxuries that do not in anyway contribute to the normal functioning of a family unit.
A guy can beat his wife senseless but if he can provide a luxurious house, fly off to Paris or Geneva every 2 or 3 months, he is by desi standards a great catch and extremely good marriage material.
More so when it comes to women, if the same lens is used to denote value, nothing of value can be found as the notion is based on materialistic needs to be provided by the man. I find it amazing that the main emphasis placed on women is not equality in the marriage but rather in the household.
The notion that marriage is more of a business deal in Pakistani communities is appalling to say the least but more so that the kids getting married in this day and age follow the same stupidity a few decades later.
Indeed. It is a sad state of affairs. Men are judged by their earning potential, and on the flip side women are judged by their attractiveness; is she fair, is she slim, will our relatives look at her and feel jealous? So while the men supposedly bring the money into the marriage, the women bring the trophy feel good factor that seems to be so important in our communities. Hell, even in western communities all the rich banker dudes have the hotties on their arms; that too is a business deal. The world is just f'ed up; once you see that it can't be unseen, so I choose to be a hermit rather than participate in the ridiculousness of it all.
Re: What do women bring to the table?
CM, when you meet a woman and you feel ..... yes, this one is bringing something to the table.... thats the person you should get married to.
I feel that every time in a restaurant, and that too about waitress.
