[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The reactions here are a bit isolated. DcUm does not represent the US.   A women making $40k will not marry someone making less than her who also can’t help in the house.  Most families have to have both parents work full time.  No one stays at home to take care of kids unless one spouse makes a lot of money.   That is not common in most of the US.[/quote]
The article doesn't mention it's only applicable to high COL area. In general, wherever women live, she doesn't want to carry the burden of the majority of house chores and childcare while at the same time being the primary caregiver. How many men would volunteer to do both?[/quote]

What does it matter what you think women want? Seriously there are only a few men who are deemed “economically attractive”.  Women have to compete for them. The “economically attractive” men do not have to compete for women. A man can be fat, old and ugly but have 300 million in the bank. Women will line up to get a chance at him. Lol if a man is making 500k plus he is in demand. So continue to make all these demands and say this is the way it has to be. It really does not matter. Many women will gladly do all the major household chores and childcare if they land a rich husband. They will happily be a SAHM and never work again.

The egos here are unbelievable. [/quote]

[b]Why is it egotistical to want a life partner? Have you considered that maybe some women want to work?[/b] [/quote]

Why is it so hard to understand that high earning men do not want to deal with someone else’s job? They want someone who can support them in theirs.

The 50/50 split you advocate for barely works when a family needs 2 incomes to survive. It does not work when they very clearly only need one. [/quote]

I’m married to a very high-earning man who absolutely supports my career. He supported me when I wanted to go back to school and is happy to have an equitable partnership. I’m sorry your experiences have been such that you view all relationships as transactions.[/quote]
