[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]+1. I'm a high earning female. If I were single, I wouldn't be interested in men who make less in most cases. I don't want to feel like I'm wearing the pants in the relationship. Men should have the means and inclination to take control- in all facets of life.[/quote]

and I'm the opposite. I'm invested in my career, although it is not high powered in a financial sense. Its a job that comes with travel, status and some public eye stuff and[b] I would love to have a wonderful, chill SAHD as my partner[/b]. If I made another 100k a year, then I think DH would do that, maybe do some consulting or writing in his down time. Its very hard to have 2 career driven types if you also want a family..  often joke that we need a sister wife...[/quote]

So you say, but in reality you'd rapidly lose respect for him, regard him as a worthless parasite, and eventually cheat on him or divorce him.[/quote]

I'm not that poster but our situations are similar.  I make a healthy income and my job comes with travel and status.  My DH has a flexible, low-paying job and he does the bulk of dropoff, pickup, chauffering and grocery shopping.  Not only do I not lose respect for him, I cherish what he brings to the marriage and I am under no illusion as to whose efforts allow me to jet off to Jakarta for two weeks without much worry about the kids. And we have three. [/quote]
