Dude, if they were hot in the first place, they could find a guy with a good job. Women making more means she's not much to look at almost by definition.

Exactly. In addition to brining in a healthy income, I'm also a triathlete. I had my children in my mid-20s so my body bounced back very fast, so that was never a struggle.

I like to have it ALL:

-Good job
-Great body
-Hot husband
-Beautiful home

Most successful women I know are not only professionally driven, but are also very competitive when it comes to sports and fitness.


They sound like horrible wives and mothers. "Driven" and "competitive" likely conflict with being a caring, compassionate person.

Huh? I eat healthy and get exercise because I want to feel and look good, regardless of marital status or income or anything else. I think if people are "letting themselves go" it has more to do with things like low self esteem, depression, feeling overwhelmed, etc., than anything else.

There's no either / or. I'm successful in my profession AND take my appearance seriously. I like to look good for myself, but also because in my professional sphere looking professional and pulled together is an asset.

I let myself go because I had a passel of kids, no time, no sleep and menopause.

But for menopause the same is true for my husband.

No. Because I make more money, I have access to high powered men and I like to indulge in a little extramarital flirtation from time to time. Need to keep up my appearance for that.

Not even close. I'm a C-exec and I work hard to maintain a professional, pulled together appearance . This includes maintaining my weight, haircut every 6 weeks, monthly facial and pedi with gel mani every 2 weeks.

I don't know what let myself go means. I look the same as when we got married, but i have never been particularly engaged in how i look, except to keep neat and professional.

Do you just say screw it and then just let yourself go because DH is the one making less money?

I see it with men all the time.
