What kind of woman does Rocky like?
-Rocky prefers a woman like they were in the past. Basically, a housewife, who cooks while he is eating and watching TV.

What do you think of his ideal woman? Do you agree with his thoughts on household responsibilities?
-I think a wife is not a new mother, and a real man must be able to self-sufficient because, apart of to be a better husband helping his wife, in the future if that man is divorced (not so uncommon), he’ll get a big problem.

What is your idea of the perfect man/woman?
-The perfect man/woman doesn’t exist. First of all, you are not perfect, and there isn’t any problem with that, so It doesn’t make any sense to try to find a perfect partner. Every person is different, with his good points and bad points, but if I had an advice to my son it would be to look for a partner with an education and a job.

Is it good to have high expectations in a relationship?
-Absolutely not. Your partner is human too, and we have born to make mistakes, so a main topic to have a successful relationship is to be very tolerant. Don’t expect a perfect person because you are not perfect as well.

I think a wife is not a new mother, and a real man must be able to self-sufficient, apart of to be a better husband helping his wife, in the future if that man is divorced (not so uncommon), he’ll get a big problem.

I think a wife does not always have to be a new mother, and because, apart from being a good husband who helps his wife, a real man must be able to self-sufficient. In the future, if that man who isn’t independent gets divorced, ( which is not so uncommon), he’d have a big problem.

Revised version:

I think a wife does not always have to be a mother and apart from being a good husband who helps his wife, a real man must be self-sufficient. In the future, if that man who isn’t independent gets divorced, which is not so uncommon, he’d have a big problem.
