[quote=Anonymous]From what I've seen from my friends/peers, I think these types of men who settle fast are willing to take a risk based on a lot more assumptions -- i.e. so we'll be interfaith, so what it'll work out; of course she'll support my career - NBD if we have to move cross country; of course she'll handle my crazy mother. And there's no shortage of women willing to accept a marriage proposal -- esp since you mention this guy is a wealthy/wealthy family New Zealander who a good looking, flirty type.

OTOH lots (not all) of my women friends are MUCH more cautious. They aren't the types ready/willing to accept a marriage proposal until everything is ironed out -- will he support my career; or will he be ok with me being a SAHM; does he make enough for me to be a SAHM and live large; how much involvement does he expect with his fam; can we live far from his fam and close to mine; does he 100% realize that I'll never move so he can never accept a job offer in NYC etc. etc. I understand their caution (bc I was the same) -- but I think smart/successful women have more of a tendency to over plan/over analyze than smart/successful men.

So often the smart/successful man who is looking to marry asap and isn't looking to do the 3 yrs of living together to know every last detail about her, he often overlooks similarly smart/successful women and goes for a regular hot woman bc there's a greater chance she'll accept a marriage proposal bc of who he is without needing to iron out every last detail.[/quote]
