In this monologue, the speaker outlines three core expectations that both women and men should have in a relationship. First, consistency: partners should follow through on promises and commitments. Second, shared planning and emotional labor: responsibilities such as organizing events, handling household tasks, and remembering important dates should not fall on one person alone; both partners can and should contribute. Third, genuine interest beyond superficial compliments: while compliments about appearance are appreciated, lasting connections require curiosity about each other's lives, thoughts, and experiences. The speaker frames these as minimum standards for healthy relationships, applicable to all genders.

Let's talk about what women are looking for from a man, and I believe that men are looking for from women as well. Number 1, and I think it's the most important one, is just to be consistent. If you say that you're gonna do something, then just do it. Number 2 is not having to plan everything. So often women complain that they're the ones who are doing most of the emotional labor. That means doing all the planning, maybe doing all the housework, maybe remembering people's birthdays. But I know guys that are planners too, and they like it when women plan stuff. So I think not expecting one person to do all the planning or all the housework or all the emotional labor is another thing that really goes for both sexes. And number 3 is really important, and that's to just be interested in the person that you're with. Beyond the superficial. Of course, women love to be told that we're hot and beautiful and all of that kind of stuff, but we also just wanna be with people, and I think men do too, that are just curious about their lives, curious about them, curious about life in general, frankly. So those are really the 3 things. And I think it's not just women expecting that of men. I think we should say that we expect this as the bare minimum from everybody.
