[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Weird my husband and I were JUST having this discussion - many of my wonderful, smart, fun, professionally successful, fun to talk with and engaging girlfriends husband’s are fine but honestly kind of duds in a lot of ways. At least much more than they are. Most of them have provided financially ok so not exactly what you’re referencing but they are DEFINITELY uninspiring comparatively to the wives. and this convo was mostly led by my husband who would prefer to be friends with these guys and was identifying that these girlfriends are particularly great/smart women who he enjoys but their husbands just don’t offer a lot - make their wives do most of the work, not that interesting to talk to, just a bummer.

We decided that though we hate to say it as the parents of boys, there is just a higher percentage of engaging, high performing women and less of those number of men probably because we often hold men to pretty low standards and let them get away with a lot. We also don’t encourage and support men in building community, learning how to share their feelings in healthy ways etc, all things that make for a more full happy life.  [/quote]

We see 40-50yo men with good careers and job titles but zero hobbies, interests, friends, life goals beyond work, or sports / fitness. They are incredibly boring to talk with and always change the subject to work. Even with their own children.  I cannot imagine them on a first date, I guess they’d talk about their early 20s or something stupid!

Meanwhile their wives are thriving at their careers, in the community, with the kids and schools, doing pilates classes with friends, and planning fun multigenerational holidays.  [/quote]
