Do you think buying a house is men's duty?

Some of my friends think that buying a house is men's duty. I don't think so. House price is very high now in big city.It is quite difficult to buy a house by one person.
What is your opinion?

 

If they are a couple, then it's both their duty, since they are going to live in it.

 

personally if i wasn't going to get married i would buy the house so if anything happened in the relationship she would get jack if i was going to marry her she would need to pay.

 

The person with the cash is the one responsible.

 

I think you are right . everything depends on situation , if she is also working in office or running businesses then she must help you in that but if she is house wife then you are the one for this job .

 

it may be or not be.
it is not always the duty of men to buy house,
both men and women should do their best to purchase a house.
on the other hand parents should also do effective help do this major task.

 

not neccessary one can live in rented house.i would suggest not to buy yr own house but insead of it u should invest yr money in bussiness. it wil give u direction of progress.

 

If you are married than its the responsibility of both to buy the house. Otherwise, its too risky for one person to buy it.

 

I am forced to say that it is not a man's duty. Otherwise I would get into serious trouble with the feminists. Hehe.

Honestly though I feel more at ease making my husband make the final decision on which house to purchase. I simply do not have the skill when it comes to checking how good a house is. He is an engineer so he should know better.

Financially, I strongly believe it should be a shared expense

 

depends where you live

asian countries normally have this kind of opinions

 

Its a duty for sure!

Im 21 now and I can never think of putting this load on anyone, my wife or my parents.

I have already did it myself. Its 80% done now,with all of my hard work and money!

Its a big job. You need to be a hard worker for that!

 

Absolutely not! It's not a man's duty to pay for everything....this is not the 1950's.

 

not always

 

I don't think so..But she says her claim is not negotiable.

 

When you get married, it's not his or hers money.

 

Yes, man shall have responsible to buy house. However, if you not able, then nothing wrong if both of you pay for the house

 

It is a norm for Asian that buying house is men's duty.

And a guy is good (to marry) if he has 5 C's: Car, Credit Card, Condomimium, Cash, CXXX

*Oops I forgot the last one* Anyone help me?

 

Truely Said. According to me, its men's duty to buy the house..

 

Courageously sized man-parts?

On topic though - It's definately not the job of the man to buy a house, it should be a joint venture, with both sides of a couple having a say.
