Sounds like a Huffpo plant to me.
A conservative plan involves bettering yourself to make a good living. Not finding the “geek” with great income potential. She could have been a great stay at home mom by saving her earnings before marriage. We women don’t have to look for the great earning potential anymore. We marry for love and not degrade our husbands to show how wonderful we are.
There is something to be said for the woman that sees the best in her husband and not as the “geek” with great earning potential. Personally, I’d rather live in a trailer filled with love than a McMansion filled stuff.
Maybe she has both. A McMansion filled with love. That's be cool. Not going through a sh*tty first marriage, misery and heartbreak to learn what would make her happy is OK with me, too, if she loves the guy, no matter how flippant she may appear.
If she is a Hufpo plant, it will come out. She sounds fairly young, and lucky, but we make our own luck to a point, too, and that includes smart choices. Taking care of herself is just good practice, sound mind, sound body and all that. Not getting hitched to some pretty boy loser seems smart too, and if the guy who really cared was 'geeky', that isn't a bad thing either.
If she keeps herself in shape to please him, more power to her--I can't tell you how much how many guys would appreciate that.
I have not, in the time I have been here, seen anyone so excoriated for making good choices. Sheesh.
I am downright happy that some people don't have to learn the hard way, unlike some of us who did.
It gives me hope for my nine granddaughters, three grandsons, and my great granddaughter. Maybe a few of them will likewise avoid the pitfalls and get it right the first time.
Many are not so fortunate.
