[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is an interesting conversation because many (not all) women want men who are equal or higher than them in some way. Financially, intellectually, socially, and/or physically.

[b]If a woman is a white collar professional, is she automatically going to want the same in a mate? Or, will the blue collar business owner be enough? The unfortunate side effect is that we’ll have more women looking at a smaller pool of men[/b].[/quote]

Lawyer here. I did end up marrying another lawyer. I would have been happy with anyone equally successful—so blue collar business owner would have been great. Being with another lawyer who understands the unique demands of the job has been good though.

A friend who is a doctor has resented her teacher DH because she has carried virtually all of the financial weight. She was glad when he was available to care for the kids in summers though (if being in the house with the kids while he spends the day gaming counts as “care”).[/quote]

Men traditionally have had to carry “virtually all of the financial weight.” Why is it so awful for the roles to switch and women take on breadwinner role?[/quote]
