[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s not that complicated.

If you want an attractive man with money, become an attractive woman with money.

The women I see complaining how there are no men left don’t take care of themselves physically, and even if they are attractive, work a $16 an hour job because they just want to be a SAHM.

And it goes both ways. Men who can’t land a woman are always ugly and/or broke.

Be someone worthwhile and you’ll attract someone worthwhile. [/quote]

Agreed. Like marries like.

Also, men want a smart woman to be the mother to their kids. Mother’s educational attainment is more directly correlated with future children’s educational attainment than with the fathers. [b]No one wants a hot dumb woman to become a sahm.[/b] [/quote]

I did, and still do. A lot of my friends do, too. You're just regurgitating a familiar 3rd wave talking point.

I literally could not give two fcks about my wife's educational attainment, once past a basic threshold of functionality. Balance a checkbook, read bedtime stories. [/quote]

So you're okay with having kids who are stupider than you?[/quote]

NP and I think a lot of men prefer this. My exDH and I both have the same post grad degrees. He hated balancing his career with mine and was thrilled when he had a chance to take an expat job and work permit issues forced me to be a SAHM. If I hadn’t pushed back over time, I’d probably be married still. I found out the hard way that he liked the idea of equal educational attainment on paper but not in practice within a relationship.

If our kids ended up underemployed and supported by exDH, it won’t be because of my lack of education or standards, but rather because exDH is filthy rich and was super lazy about his part of parenting and would probably encourage them to live a lazy lifestyle if I didn’t intervene.

Also he is 5’7” and makes 7 figures. I would never date short again, but I would date 55k. I did my time with a guy with the short man syndrome chip on his shoulder and I won’t do that again.

Also things are proportional. Just no. [/quote]

Things are proportional? Meaning he’s small?[/quote]
