Its very curious that men, even today, want a wife who can cook and build a home and women want a man who can provide.

It's all about basic biology.  No matter how sophisticated we want to appear, men and women are pretty much the same as they were millions of years ago or socially even a few decades past.  Take a typical college setting.  The quarterback at Ohio State probably never has an issue finding a date.  The average schlub in the chem lab?  Not so easy.  The average college woman can get laid at the drop of a hat.  The shy guy who is very nice?  Pushing a wagon uphill.

Once everyone graduates, marriage and kids come into the picture.  The man wants to conquer the world and needs the energy to do it.  Hence, the woman who cooks.  The woman wants energy to raise kids.  Hence, the man who is a powerful breadwinner is attractive.  If chem lab schlub is a doctor, his value goes up.

OK, I will be accused of a 1950s mentality and with women in so many more higher level jobs, how dare I write like this.  But even freakin Gloria Steinham(sp) looked for men more accomplished than she was.[/quote]
