Then they complain “there are no good men out there”.
That’s why men lie to get laid.
Some will find a relationship with a wealthy man ... most will become crazy cat ladies.
How can they ever reach pay parity with an attitude like that? ;-)
I like a woman who isn’t afraid to compete with me. And I don’t want a woman who would put up with a wimp.
And yet I know several women who are, in a strange way, happy to date or be married to bums who don’t work.
It’s more than that: women don’t want to date “low status” men. A woman with a PhD in sociology generally won’t want to date a man who is a plumber, even if he makes more money than she does. Conversely, the “bad boy” guitar player will get plenty of dates, even if he’s not making much money.
Women want to date the guy who their friends will be impressed with.
That’s alright, I am sure there are many men who refuse to date women who make more than they do.
Awe...come now it isn’t materialistic, it is in many ways a hard-wired Biblical standard that the man provides for the family.
Men are called to be the primary leader, protector, and provider for the family.
If the single purpose of dating is to find a husband, I can’t disagree but that seems to be narrow-minded. If the only reason a woman dates is to find a husband then women shouldn’t be upset if the only reason a man dates is to find a sex partner. Both are singularly after the thing they want most.
No wonder marriages often fail then since both are in it only for themselves.
Thank goodness i don’t have to worry about being hounded by rich women.
Which helps to explain the rise in American men looking to Asia or the former Soviet Union for wives. The women there do not have (usually) unrealistic standards for men.
They also have to deal with men who make us look really good.
Not news. George Gilder wrote of this research years ago.
And many women date men without caring about comparative salaries.
Gotta go fly now.
It will be a tough time at the Hypergamy game and a lifetime of cats for them.
So it’s not about love, it’s about finding the ideal Ken for each Barbie. The guy who takes her to the standard of living that she yearns for.
If women didn’t have < Insert favorite plural slang term for vagina here. > there’d be a bounty on ‘em.
Many women are like whores, only less honest.
I wonder if this would be some of the same women who complain about equal pay? If so, wouldn’t this be hypocrisy?
That said, I make more than my husband who is a veterinarian and I never went to college. Doesn’t bother me in the least.
