| There have been some threads recently about women angling to find a “rich” husband. Why not worry about becoming rich in one’s own right? |
Those threads represent the goals of a tiny subset of women. Most women don’t have that goal. |
| Why don’t you focus on being less misogynistic instead of acting like such a red-pill incel? |
|
Women who are financially secure are in a dating pool of men who are not as well off
Therefore asking questions such as “instead of bagging a rich guy” is saying hey be ok with that poor guy and struggle the rest of your life |
What is your problem? I’m a woman, concerned with my career, and think it’s disempowering to women for them to think that the only way to have a good life is to marry a wealthy man. |
| Well for one, women aren’t paid fairly. Marrying a high wage earner is probably a surer bet than becoming one yourself. |
How do you have such a good life when you have to outsource childcare? Or perhaps you don’t have children. Or your spouse takes care of the children and home. |
You clearly do not think you are worth very much. |
Again, if women want to have money - and ensure those coming after them are able to make more money - why not make yourself as valuable in the marketplace as possible? |
| I had a friend in HS whose main goal in life was to marry a doctor.....I was always like why don’t you become a doctor yourself? |

I did. Now I make a lot of money and have a wonderful husband. Honestly it never occurred to me to try to find someone to "take care of" me. But I think people live the lives they see modeled, and my mom worked. If you saw your mom living a pampered life, never working, and spending all her mental energy on staying pretty I guess that's what you'd try to find.
I've heard that if you marry for money you pay for it every day of your life, and while I'm sure that's not always true I think there's some truth to it. |
| Because, sadly, most women are lazy and entitled. |
|
Women hide making a lot on money just like middle school girls his being good in science.
I hope things change. |
| Because a woman who is supported by a wealthy breadwinner, assuming the marriage is healthy, has far more options than a woman who is out bringing home the bacon. |
| Because who wants to sit at a desk while everyone else is out having fun? |
