Females have many expectations when it comes to their boyfriend, fiancé or husband. Men’s jobs are to protect their girlfriend, fiancé or wife. They have to provide for them and take care of them. Some men change their ways to win over the girl of their dreams, but some do not.
 * __Expectations__**

In the movie, Hitch, Alex ‘Hitch’ Hitchens (Will Smith) is a date doctor and helps men to sweep the woman of their dreams off of their feet. He does this by setting up different scenarios for his clients to essentially create a starting point for them to talk and get to know the woman of their dreams some more. He also gives them hints as to how to move their relationship farther along. For example, Hitch, tells his clients "// She may not want the whole truth, but she does want the real you. She may not want to see it all at once, but she does want to see it. //” Hitch helps his clients to turn into their dream girl’s perfect man. Not only does he give them tips on what to do during their dates, but he also tells them what they should wear and how they should act. For example, Hitch tells one of his clients that he should, "// Ask her what she thought about the show, what was her favorite photograph, why that one. And when she answers, don't be looking at her mouth. Don't be wondering what she looks like naked. **Listen** to what she is saying and respond. //” Hitch guaranteed his clients that all he needed was to work with them for three dates for his clients’ dream girl to fall in love with them.



Hitch changed his clients so that he could help to make their dream girl fall in love with them.

In the book, The Taming of the Shrew, Petruchio attempted to win over Katherine, which was a difficult task since Katherine did not like him at all. Instead of Petruchio changing his ways, he decided to be himself and still try and make Katherine fall in love with him. Petruchio did not treat Katherine respectfully or do things such as listening to her, which is something that Hitch told his clients to do in the movie, Petruchio was just himself and didn’t change his ways at all to win over Katherine. Katherine even told Petruchio what she expected of him, “// Thy husband is thy lord, thy life, thy keeper, thy head, thy sovereign, one that cares for thee, and thy maintenance commits his body. To painful labor both by sea and by land, To watch the night in storms, the day in cold, Whilst thou liest warm at home, secure and safe. //" (pg. 219). Even with this said Petruchio did not act on what Katherine said and he still eventually got what he wanted and made Katherine fall in love with him.

Females have many expectations when it comes to the man in their life. They expect their man to protect them and much more. There are many people that will change for the ones they love, but there are also many that will not.
