[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have seen very attractive, very successful women make their man the center of everything when they are dating or even in a relationship. Some women give up successful careers, leave behind great jobs etc not because it's the best choice but because not making that sacrifice (in their mind) may jeopardize their relationship.

What wrong with being single when the alternative is giving up so much of your personal goals?

Don't call us men for being selfish for not making similar sacrifices. You are not being forced. You can say no. If the relationship ends or never materializes because of it then be it.

My daughter is extremely smart. Her lowers grade is a 98%. She is in 10th grade and wants to be an aerospace engineering major. I won't lie my fear is that one day she meets a boy she is crazy over and gives up a lot job grad school etc just because that's what that man wants. If she ever asks me any advice about giving up anything for a man, my answer will be a resounding NO. [/quote]

I am a very successful attorney, and my ex-wife is an emergency physician. We rarely had time for each other or for our two young children. Both of us were working constantly, and our kids were effectively raised by strangers. There is nothing wrong with your daughter becoming an aerospace engineer, but she will likely end up with someone at her level or higher—not a plumber or a Walmart cashier—and that can become an issue. There can only be one driver in the car, because if you have two quarterbacks, you have none.[/quote]
