+1.

Another +1, from the kind of guy you want to attract (but happily married). While a few marry hot secretaries, the senior executives at my firm making $$$ mostly marry mid-level executives. I totally get it; these are gorgeous, fit, incredibly bright, driven women. What's not to like.

Maybe other men want insipid wives, but the men I know with similar educational backgrounds and career trajectories like smart, ambitious women. It can make for conflict in home life, but there is undeniable chemistry.

Most of the people I know in the C-suite are married to homemakers. Indeed, a female CEO of a F500 I formerly worked for fits this bill. I don't believe they explicitly set out to marry stay at home partners. In fact, I think it's the opposite: being married to a SAH partner really frees up the working spouse to be all in at work and get ahead of the pack over the years.

They may be homemakers now but I bet most of them worked high powered jobs beforehand. Smart, ambitious people want their spouse to be smart and ambitious as well. CEOs expect their stay-at-home spouses to run the house like a COO (and provide good genes to their progeny). Best way to marry a smart, educated, ambitious man is to be a smart, educated ambitious woman.

No, this is not true in many, many cases. Men believe that as long as she has a degree, and it could be any degree, then she is smart enough to marry. For those that are truly rich, their SAHW are not running things, they might hire the maid, pool person, and nanny but the other stuff is done by him. Especially since many of these men cheat of their wives, they are not stupid enough to leave the "real" decisions in the hands of a scorned woman.

We know a surgeon married to a high school graduate and boy is she dumb - she watches Fox News all day and posts angry brainwashed vitriol on FB like its fact nonstop, most of the kids have serious LD’s. Cute kids but not smart. I hope he likes what he signed up for.

I think the stereotype is for a high powered man to marry a smart woman and to coax her into having her career take a backseat to his.

Hey... what’s wrong with yoga pants? I love yoga pants!

My rich bf loves them too. I have a nice bubble butt though. I don't think a sundress can show that asset off as well.

How do you know the kids have serious LD's? You sound like a jealous liberal hater saying a woman has kids with LD's because she's a high school graduate and a trump supporter. Plenty of your democrat base never graduated either. I have 2 masters degrees and a parent never graduated high school but is the smartest person I have met in my 32 yrs of life in dc. So many stupid inflated ego transplants in this area now.

I met my rich husband while I was out running. We lived in the same area and I would stop at a juice bar that we both frequented. I had no idea he was rich and neither of us were dressed the part. We made small talk a few times and he asked me out. It was definitely a physical attraction why I agreed to go out on a date with him. I was a sweaty mess when he would see me and I did not dress to impress a man. I was not looking for a husband either. IMO it's better to let it happen naturally. If you like wearing yoga pants then keeping wearing them.

See here is the thing. The kids will have more money vs your kids and will do better in life.

You can never be left broke and starting over in your 40’s with no resume when you’ve had a strong career.

This is a good advice OP; keep a career going and do not aspire to be a SAHM. Remember that you will be marrying his potential, but ALWAYS protect your own interests and be financially independent.

Yup

Just wanted to add another plus 1 on sundress. Best thing for a woman to wear, major turn on

+1. Another thing men like is pantyhose, which most women hate. So, get over your hate and you've got a leg up (heh) on the others.

But what man really wants to outsource the care of his newborn child to a complete stranger?

You pick your battles. If she insists on going back to work, the kid’s in daycare.

You find a rich guy with no self worth and convince him he should settle for a woman that wants to marry him for his money. If he asks for a pre-nup then you pass and keep searching until you find one a bit less smart. That way when he realizes that he was fool to marry you you can get half of his money.
