A Welsh former model who styles herself on a 1950s housewife has set out her exacting list of demands for a prospective husband. Claire Grey, from Swansea, said she walks out on dates if they expect her to buy so much as a drink while she ended a relationship because her boyfriend forgot to hold her hand as they crossed a road.
The 39-year-old psychotherapist and former model, who wears prim 1950s-style dresses and twinsets from her gran, said: “I’m like a 1950s housewife – I believe the man should work and the woman should look after the home. “They should have dinner on the table for their man and make sure household chores are taken care of.”
The flip side is that Claire won’t tolerate a man who doesn’t live up to her high standards and she also comes with a list of demands of her own. Claire expects to be treated “like a lady” and courted like a character from Downton Abbey or Bridgerton, reports the Mirror. She said: “A man must get out and knock on my door for a date. He must open the car door for me – not just on a first date but always. He should always pay for the date. I actually cringe when I see women going up to a bar to pay. It is not the woman’s place and it is embarrassing.
