Always be honest with what you expect in others

The following personal ad is for a man essentially looking for a slave. While I could not be happy in this kind of one-way relationship, I have to give him kudos for being 100% honest with his expectations.

Here are my rules, if you can deal with them then please send me your picture and we will take it from there.

Have dinner ready. Plan ahead, even the night before, to have a delicious meal ready on time for my return.

This is a way of letting me know that you have be thinking about me and are concerned about my needs.
I am hungry when i get home and the prospect of a good meal is part of the warm welcome needed.

Prepare yourself. Take 15 minutes to rest so you'll be refreshed when i arrives.

Touch up your make-up, put a ribbon in your hair and be fresh-looking. I have just been with a lot of work-weary people.
Be a little happy and a little more interesting for me.

My boring day may need a lift and one of your duties is to provide it.

Clear away the clutter. Make one last trip through the main part of the house just before i arrive. Run a dustcloth over the tables.
During the cooler months of the year you should prepare and light a fire for me to unwind by.

I will feel i have reached a haven of rest and order, and it will give you a lift too. After all, catering to my comfort will provide you with immense personal satisfaction.

Minimize all noise. At the time of my arrival, eliminate all noise of the washer, dryer or vacuum. Encourage the children to be quiet (When we have some).

Be happy to see me.
Greet me with a warm smile and show sincerity in your desire to please me.
Listen to me. You may have a dozen important things to tell me, but the moment of my arrival is not the time.

Let me talk first - remember, my topics of conversation are more important than yours.
Don't greet me with complaints and problems.
Don't complain if i am late for dinner or even if i stays out all night. Count this as minor compared to what i might have gone through at work.

Make me comfortable. Have me lean back in a comfortable chair or lie me down in the bedroom. Have a cool or warm drink ready for me.
Arrange my pillow and offer to take off my shoes. Speak in a low, soothing and pleasant voice.

Don't ask me questions about my actions or question my judgment or integrity. Remember, i am the master of the house and as such will always exercise my will with fairness and truthfulness. You have no right to question me.

A good wife always knows her place.
