i thik marry'n a career women or any women for that matter has it pitfalls LOL I think you'd have to be strong minded. Especially if she made more than you. I wouldn't mind. More parts for the bike
OK this is an interesting point. What do you do when your wife makes significantly more than you? When we got married she had the perfect grades, 4.0 Math/Physics double major so I knew that as an Art Major there was a significant chance that she'd be outstripping my income in short order.
But, I thought hell I'm a modern guy, it won't bother me. So I had joined the Air Force and created a stability that allowed her to Graduate with a 4.0 and go straight into Graduate School at Creighton University also carrying a 4.0. So I get out of the Air Force, we move to Tampa and she's doubling my pretty decent income working at Booz Allen. DOOD it Bugged me quite a bit for a little while. I was really bothered by the fact that she made so much more than I did until I realized that all it meant was more better toys, and a New Hayabusa!
I got right the hell over it pretty damn quick. But it did take a little while.
But, I would sure the hell rather have to deal with a little bit of "odd" feelings about her making money and have lots of spare funds laying around, than have a woman sitting at home, doing nothing but sleeping with the Mailman, henning it up with the neighborhood Chickenheads, watching her "stories", and shopping... Having to really watch our spending and sweating the details.
So now 5 years after she graduated, and 5 years since I got out of the military she more than doubles my income as an Art Director. It took a little getting used to, but I've learned a few things.
1. You're NOT the man of the house because of the Money you contribute. If that is the only way you know you're the man of the house? You're not the man of your house.
2. Having the other half making alot more money than you is freeing. Hell I don't have to work! I took a year off from work and played "Parts Guy". But I missed the Graphics gig and I suck as a parts guy. Point is you find yourself not slaved to job because of benefits, or income, or need. It's an amazing feeling.
3. Educated, Intelligent women are the only way to go! No fooling no "BUTS" about it. They don't have to have a freaking Law degree, but intelligence and creativity is a must. High Self Esteem follows, and intelligent women with good self asteem don't do stupid things.
4. Finally anytime you start feeling weird about your woman making so much more than you? Go log into your Online Banking...Wierd feelings all gone.
So I recommend whole heartedly everyone find yourselves a Sugar Mama, treat her right, and enjoy it.
