Any man who's been married once and in the market for a second wife is probably looking for someone who can change a fuse or balance a checkbook. Believe me. Being able to drive a stick shift or plumb a utility sink would just be lagniappe. Being completely indifferent to his sister's wardrobe or his mother's opinions is more than could be hoped for.
OUR success? Is this a sisterhood thang? Stay single lady. You want to rum a man's nose in your success. Stock up on Stauffers!
You think she can balance a checkbook? I do! (See my #21).
It's the ones of us who are calculatingly psychotic that you'd better watch out for.
Heh heh heh
Better hurry. I know where she lives!
Unfortunately, this woman is one of those who has been taught that housewife/mother=slave. Were she to become a mother, her liberal "sisters" would rail on about how she "sold out" to the male dominated patriarchy.
As a side note, this kind of attitude diminishes the importance of motherhood.
The attitude of liberal woman toward someone who'd choose family over career is much like those of Blacks who tell a successful Black that he has "sold out his race."
I wish someone would tell this woman that she is looking at it from the wrong point of view. She needs to be told that were she to give up her job for marriage and children, she would be taking on a second career. A career that is without a doubt one of the toughest to succeed at.
And men don't need women anymore.
In my opinion, that's why the divorce rate is so high.
In the old days, women needed men to build the house, plow the field, plant the crops, chop firewood, hunt and trap, etc.
And men needed women to cook, make candles, sew clothes, raise the kids.
Basically, this was division of labor. Each one needed the other to survive.
Now, men don't need women to cook, we have Burger King and microwaves. Men don't need women for their clothes, we have Wal-Mart.
Conversely, women don't need men for housing, they can rent apartments or buy their own. They don't need men for food gathering, they can go to the grocery store.
Right there you know she's a nut who needs attention anywhere she can get it.
That's a nice poem in your "about" page. About that woman, think she lives in Boston?
Not so much out of his league as outside his price range
In any relationship, there are certain things the man wants out of the relationship, and certain things the woman wants. Where the value of the benefits she provides exceeds her perceived "cost" (in effort, time, putting up with quirks, financial support), then a man will be interested. If the value to her of HIS benefits exceed HER perceived costs, then a relationship is workable
For many guys, having somebody who is cheerful, affectionate, and fun to be with is more "valuable" than having somebody who brings home a big paycheck of her own
DEAR MARGO:
I am a 38-year-oldsuccessfulemployed female, who - according to my psychoanalyst is emotionally secure. I'm also financially secure - thanks to grannies $2,000,000 inheritance. I have been told by my mother that I am very attractiveandbut since I wear nothing but leather, spikes and chains, I apparently intimidate normal men. I would like to get married butam thought to be too independentmy psychiatrist says I'm a potential serial killer.DEAR MS. INDEPENDENT:
The Marques De Sade is dead so your prospects of marriage appear dim. And please have someone remove all sharp objects from your house ASAP.
She needs clothes that fit. ;)
What do you want to bet she's a Kerry voter?
"" think she lives in Boston?""
ROTF! I grew up in Newton Mass, and my guess would be YES!
2 more!
Bank on it.
Here's the translation:
"Dear Margo: I'm a 38-year-old successful dumbass. I listened when they told me I could have it all. I believed it when they told me I was just as good as any man. So I went to school. I worked hard. I'm successful, I'm smart, I'm pretty. But &%%&*(%*(^(*& it to hell, I want a man, I want a baby, I want a house in the country, I want an SUV, and I want it all NOW! Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaa."
Hey, you must be psychic!
