I find what many women do is they want you as the man to behave in a more traditional way: assuming more of the financial burden, long term provisioning, limiting your options with other women, less time spent with your friends, chivalry, etc. While at the same time there's barely any if no compromise on their end.
Its a lopsided affair.
