CommitmentPhobe Posted November 20, 2008 Posted November 20, 2008 To most men, the shape of a woman's ass is more important than her job or amount of money. . I don't think that counts for much. Most men are perpetually adolescent no-hopers.
Miranda1 Posted November 20, 2008 Posted November 20, 2008 You're missing the point, GW. I never said I wanted to be able to do everything a man can. I'm not even in a man dominated field (it's about 50-50). Which field are you in? Most of my friends and I are studying for a Communication Degree, majoring in Public Relations, which is apparently female-dominated. The main reason why we're majoring in PR is that newspapers aren't hiring journalists anymore, since most articles are just re-hashed press releases written by PR people! And the wages are meant to be great - average wage - $100,000 a year. So, we're all looking forward to that. But we have some male students in our class, as well (okay, two!) but they aren't intimidated by us wanting to be successful...
You'reasian Posted November 21, 2008 Posted November 21, 2008 For the past 40 years feminists have been telling men we are useless now that women can provide for themselves so men try and maintain their worth by providing for a woman. Women have nobody but themselves to blame for this complex that some men have. Are foreign marriages more frequent now than before?
You'reasian Posted November 21, 2008 Posted November 21, 2008 Let me break it down.. Nice girl.. Men like.. Nice poor girl.. Men like Nice successful girl... Men like Nasty poor girl.. Men do not like Nasty girl with "success" Men do not like. Successful feminist type Men loathe. That's as simple as it gets.
alphamale Posted November 21, 2008 Posted November 21, 2008 i remember once i went out with this cute blonde and she mentioned at least 5 or 6 times how she works in the mortgage industry and makes six figures. I was like never called her again cause the chemistry was marginal on my end and i didn't like her financial comments. i found out later she had a bf of a few years and was trying to upgrade to someone better

There are no better partners (barring that one person choses someone with drug, physical abuse or other serious problems). Even if you stay with someone for a number of years, relationships tend to level out.
canigetanswers Posted November 23, 2008 Posted November 23, 2008 i din read through everything so what im gonna say may have been said. I guess it's a societal thingy. Men have been the one deemed by society to be the breadwinner since ancient times. certainly this is changing with rights for women and education. However, change takes time. The term house husband is a fairly recent term i would say. In the past, men who were less capable were deemed as failures. Right now, some people are alright with men being the one at home. So i guess this is a transitional stage and it will take time b4 it is accepted. Talking about ego, it's only there because society makes it.
MN randomguy Posted November 23, 2008 Posted November 23, 2008 In the past, men who were less capable were deemed as failures. I'd say its all about your attitude. My mom has her Masters and a 4.0 in grad. school as she'll tell you. She makes 3 times what my dad does. She is not very supportive of him ans thinks that she's more intelligent because she's educated. If you realize that you making more money doesn't make you more valuable as a person, or if you're going to try to dominate your man all of the time, that's no fun. The guys you date will be on the lookout for this. Don't be too snobby, if you like going to school, like working in your field, like nice things, that's fine and actually a plus. But, guys HATE the turbo feminist, a woman without a man is like a fish without a bicycle hairy armpit type.

Alma Mobley Posted November 24, 2008 Posted November 24, 2008 Well, I'm always drawn to the controversial topics, I can't help it. The right kind of man has no problem with a successful woman. Back when I was single, a male friend of mine told me to "tone it down" and not reveal all at once on what I was doing and pursuing. He told me I might be "intimidating" to most men. I didn't like that advice, so I kept being me, and stopped caring what people thought. I eventually met someone, a guy who loves smart women. I've been with him for three years, and he's crazy about me. He's a musician and quite creative -- I love that type. But, and I would NEVER point this out to him -- when we meet people for the first time I can see it on their faces -- why is she with him? I'm with him because he loves me and appreciates me, and he will talk to me about science, philosophy, literature, film, music -- everything. I love being with a man who can appreciate the arts.

Breadwinner. What? I met my partner when he was a waiter. I was much more successful when I met him, sure. I dated many men, but he was the one who appreciated me, thought I was smart, and had great conversations with me. And we had read the same books.
