[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Men do NOT care about a woman's job/career in the same way that a woman cares about a mans job/career/social status.
Women, in general, use a mans job/career/social status (either achieved or potential) as a qualifier for entering into a relationship.
They do this because the paradigm is that the man is primarily responsible for providing to her (and her children) the standard of living that she desires. A man which she believes is incapable of providing to her that standard of living is not an acceptable partner.
Men understand this and we know that women, in general, will not accept being the primary bread winner and we are selected based on our ability to provide and therefore we, in general, do NO select women based on their job/career/social status because that is not their role.
This is not "old order" thinking in as much as it is pragmatically what is happening in the marketplace between men and women.
This is NOT driven by primarily by men. Rather, women are selecting men based on their success and we understand this so we strive to achieve success at a level which will make us attractive to a woman.
Women mistakenly think that if they themselves become successful, in the same way as a man, then men will find them attractive, in the same way women find successful men attractive. In general, this is NOT the case.

I know of only 1 man that selected his wife based on her career. He was objectively a 10. He was a gymnast and very well built, but not career oriented. He chose to marry a very overweight woman that was an optometrist. He has never held a job and became overweight himself. It was literally a tradeoff. Her money for his looks (which went away real fast).[/quote]
