no, in most of those marriages there are traditional wife and husband roles, very clear and he need not worry about anything on the homefront. everyone (even working wives) needs a wife!

See, this is the thing that pisses me off. My DW somehow expects me yo be not onl the breadwinner with a he 80 hour workweek, but the plumber, electrician, refrigerator repairman, lawn service, car mechanic AND to help with cleaning the house too. I tell her she can have a husband or a plumber. If she wants both, she can marry a plumber.

I mean...do what you want, but definitely not my type.

Well, somebody's having sex with these guys. At the end of the day, more women are having sex with the jocks than with the nerds.

You are a piece of shit.

I was never attractive or confident enough for the alpha guys to chase me.

So I settled for a beta.

He is a nice guy. Not the brightest bulb and has limited life experience but he is very nice and makes for an excellent companion.

He earns 90k at 29 and we live a comfortable middle class life in Fairfax.

He is never going to change the world or have much drive at the end of the day to do anything else other play video games.

Guys, just another reason to never get married.

What, some troll post on DCUM? By what is almost certainly a guy? Nah, feel free to still get married.

There is a misconception that in traditional homes, women are dominated and treated like slaves. Traditionally, women rule the household. Men rule outside of the household, and generally defer to their wives' decisions on matters that don't extend beyond the house. This legacy is still noticeable even in chores, where men would typically do the yard work and take out the garbage -- things that are outside the house. This is true in other countries, like Russia. They have old-fashioned gender roles, but those old babushka women are not to be trifled with when you are under their roof.

Why? So you can have a higher HHI? Not always worth it in my opinion.

No, you don't marry an alpha for the income but for the exciting sex.

Really? What happens if you are married to a guy with a high income and exciting sex. Because in my experience men eho makr more money are better in bed (as long as they are in shape). Its a confidence thing.

Men don't need high income to have high confidence. Some of the highest confidence in the world... is found in guys in PRISON making no money. Bikers, musicians = low income high confidence.

But if you've got a high income alpha, congrats, go you.

Bad news is that marriage makes any man, no matter how alpha, more beta over time.

You are nuts.

I had no idea being a biker was a profession. My DH rides a Harley, but its transportation. Are you talking some sort of taxicab biker?

Why do men get all butt hurt about people stating the facts of their lives? It's not like it's all a secret..

Talk about creativity. Professional artists and poets hook up with two or three times as many sex partners as other people, new research indicates.
A study of 425 British men and women found the creative types averaged between four and ten partners, while the less creative folks had typically had three.
The more creative the study participants, the more partners they'd had.
Previous studies have hinted at all this, and anyone mingling seriously with artists might have suspected as much. But this is the first study to provide firm evidence, the researchers say.
