"These findings provide empirical support for the widespread belief that powerful women are at a disadvantage in the marriage market because men may prefer to marry less accomplished women,"

Finally, I have a study to point to. :-)

Having never met a woman that felt she was less accomplished than ANY man...

Oh, Please, men marry subordinate woman...if that is even accurate...because men want to feel as if they are the provider, not because of control, but because it is in the nature of a man to provide for the woman, to act like a man.

Women who need NO provider, who make more money;... make their boyfriends or husbands nothing more than pool boys and dispensible.

Almost anways.

Men want to know they are the provider, they are the dragon slayer, they are the reason she is safe, she is fed, that she is clothed and housed because of the work he did by the sweat of his brow (or keyboard).

To just kick back and let the woman work superior to the man, if the man does not find something to be considered work to add something to the relationship as provider, THAT IS NOT A MAN!

In this day and age, it is quite possible that the woman will earn more. If her man doesnt get on his hands and knees looking for work to add to the family, he is scum and he knows it.

For a man to just kick back and LET her lead, that man is a coward and a user.

That is why men want to marry a woman who is not as established as he is: He wants to be the leader and provider in the family.

If he has any male genes in him anways.
