"Blur, you oughta go after this executive chick. You could tame her! ;o)"
Actually, this one sounds like she'd really prefer being self-sufficient, unless she can find some guy who can spoil her rotten. Guaranteed she'd want a pre-nup unless the guy is so much wealthier that HE wants one.
The article mentions the 'evolutionary' bilge that 'men evolved to want women they can control' when in truth, it speaks to the desire of a Godly man to have a Godly wife. Not a doormat but one who gladly submits to his caring, courageous leadership of the relationship.
The old Neil Diamond song makes some sense,
"As long as I can have you here with me,
I'd much rather be, forever in blue jeans."
It's not evolution. It's the way God made us. Men in charge.

Remember the lesson about woman being taken from the "rib" of man? To stand beside him, not tower over him or be walked on by him, but to be supportive..."a helpmate."
Men aren't superior to women or in charge. God created woman as an equal to man.
God created man and woman on the same day with equal identity. That is, both were made in the image of God (Gen. 1:24-31) and both were given the mandate by God to "be fruitful and multiply and subdue the earth" (Gen. 1:28). God also formed woman from man's side ( Hebrew sela = side ; Gen. 2:21-22) as a helper comparable to him (Gen.2:18). The Hebrew word ezer = helper (Gen. 2:18) is a noble word used often in the Bible of God Himself (for example, Ex. 18:4, Deut. 33:7, Ps. 46:1). ãShe was to be a companion just like the man - with intelligence, personality, ethical and moral sensitivity, and spiritualityä (The Nelson Study Bible). The man and his wife were to become one flesh (Gen. 2:24).In conclusion, we may summarize the woman's role in the following way: woman was created as an equal to man and as his helper. There is also total equality of man and woman in the body of Christ (Gal. 3:26-28). However in the economy of God, the woman is voluntarily to submit to the man in accordance with the authority which God created (Eph. 5:17-24, I Peter 3:1-6, I Tim. 2:11-15). This is like the submission demonstrated by the Son to the Father and the Spirit to the Son and the Father in the Trinity (I Cor. 11:2-3,Ê John 14:25-28; 8:29, Eph. 5:1) - a mutual submission between equals. This attitude of submission is very precious to God (I Peter 3:4), honorable before men (I Peter 3:6-7), and will be greatly rewarded at the Judgment-Seat of Christ (Prov. 31:30-31, I Tim. 3:13). Link
