As a business professional and as a AMERICAN I along with many others appreciate a working wife. The cooking and homemaker chores are not very appealing any more. A woman in the working world provides good conversation, and is more up to date on current affairs. It makes for better communication in the relationship.
As far as dressing, I truly appreciate a woman that shows her femininity especially when out for the evening. A man truly appreciates how his woman looks and the same goes for the man too. At home on weekends running errands, jeans and casual wear is fine.
I must admit there is nothing sexier than my woman in fine lingerie. This of course is for intimate moments together. It is also fun to shop together watching my woman try on clothes and showing me her selections. This makes for a very fun day. Then off to lunch or dinner with a nice wine, completes the outing.
