[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think that men really only have 2 options: make it in society or don't make it. The "make its" go to college, good $$ salary, are able to compete for good spouses. The "don't make its" end up with no jobs, low salaries, dating issues because potential spouses don't want to make double or triple what their husbands make, prison. There isn't a great middle ground.

Women have more options and ability to succeed in society. Men don't care that they make more money than their wives. Men are okay having a SAHM who is great with children. Women's only value isn't our earning potential the way it seems to be for men. Part of this is also that men haven't found a good way to step it up at home. My dh is a fantastic 50% partner at home, but he couldn't do it all. He'd be lousy as a SAHD and couldn't do all of the chores himself like many women do. [/quote]

I agree that men's roles in our current society are so much more fixed. There's more flexibility for women. [/quote]

PP here. Yes that's what I'm trying to say. I see it with my friends that I grew up in. Quite a few of them are great guys, but couldn't hack it in a corporate structure and kinda got left behind. They live in their parents' basements and didn't marry. Not bad guys, but they couldn't find a path[/quote]
