[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A fantastic looking woman with a great paycheck is much higher value than a fantastic looking woman with no paycheck.  All other things being equal.

I love the assumptions working women are dogs.  Some of them are even banging your husbands at work.[/quote]

No, the one with no paycheck is higher value-she doesn’t even have to work to keep her man. Btw banging other women’s husbands at work is definitely dog-like behavior.[/quote]

And when her husband dumps her she’s extremely low value with kids and no job.[/quote]

Lol how many SAHM’s do you know of who have been so unceremoniously dumped? It’s just a silly DCUM working mom’s fantasy.[/quote]

None.  Until I turned 50.  Bam! As kids head towards college, way more men leaving, having affairs, etc.[/quote]

I have also noticed an uptick in divorces post 50 and once kids are in closet. But while I don't know the details of every split, in the couples I know the women are as likely (maybe more likely) to leave. Most married men in their 50s, even if they are unhappy, are also complacent. They don't tend to be self-sufficient at all, and they also tend to be sliding through middle age with insufficient attention to their appearance.

Meanwhile, most of the SAHMs I know get better and better as their kids age. They have more time for themselves, so they take up hobbies, do volunteer work, exercise, etc. They look good. This is also true for most of the working moms I know. The first 5-6 years are tough no matter what, and I feel like this is when women look the worst and are the most miserable. Then their kids start school, become more independent, and women start thriving.

Based on my experience, it's men who need to be sitting around fretting over whether or not they are good enough partners for their wives to stick around once the kids are grown. The women I know all have their shit together, whether they work outside the house or not.[/quote]
