Do you know about this controversial Forbes article: “Don’t Marry Career Women” written by journalist Michael Noer?
Women are all up in arms about it, but to me, it’s complete nonsense. Isn’t it obvious to most men? — the more money your wife makes, the better!
It’s simple. If she’s bringing in the big bucks, the less she is on your back about sitting at home in your underwear (or her underwear) and blogging! Let her work all day and make tons of money.
Of course, some men say they feel uncomfortable with a woman who is more “intelligent” or “high-powered” than they are. My response is, “What are you, a pussy? Marry the smartest woman you can! Beauty fades, but you always need someone to edit you blog posts.”
“Oh, sure,” I hear some men grumbling. “And what about the statistics that show high-powered career women are more likely to have affairs at work?”
I say, “Terrific!” More time for blogging at home. Who wants to put on fancy clothes and go out to some overpriced restaurant when some poor sucker in her office can do it for you? I’ll be catching up on All My Children. As long as I get to play with her tits every once in a while in between writing blog posts, I’m a happy man.
“But aren’t you afraid of your wife leaving you for her new lover?”
“Yeah, let’s see HIM stand around the Nordstrom women’s department for an hour holding her purse while she tries on a Tahari Pinstripe Skirt Suit. She’ll be back.”
Let’s praise the career woman!
A Year Ago On Citizen of the Month: Granny, Won’t You Drive My Car?
My mom married up and was financially dependent on my father. That was a disaster as far as I was concerned; she could never stand up for us or for what made sense, and told me — you can always get more kids but you can’t get another husband. I married twice without regard to what the men I married were earning at the time I married them, but they at least had jobs when I married them. The first marriage was to a friend of my parents who was 25 when I started dating him when I was 15. The second was to my boss, who was 36 when I married him when I was 25. Both times: these guys stopped working soon after I married them, watched TV, refused to work. I guess they thought that was what marrying up was about. Both rattled their sabers about alimony when I left them. The second one told me he had talked to a lawyer about how he could clean my clock since I made more money than he did. That is not what, I hope, real men are all about, but it’s a lesson I will have to be sure my daughter is aware of. I don’t want her threatened with alimony by a guy who tells her to fuck off, that women don’t have the testosterone to support a family, and, by the way, he wants alimony.
In all of this: I supported 3 kids (still fully supporting 2, who are still in high school) from these marriages. Their fathers figured it was my job to take care of that.
Well why not to look at the divorce situation from entirely different pont of view. When both partners are working, it gives them less time to socialize. It is true that divorced couples don’t have many common friends.
One always finds career couples going separately to address their social obligations, be it Holiday party at office or friend’s birthday. A home stay woman always accompanies the man in such social events and that helps them make common friends. Whereas a career couple tend to blame their spouses for their inadequacies and many times avoid going with them. Common friends could be the best marriage rescuers than any paid consulars. They know all that is going on from kitchen, bed and at work.
Don’t be afraid of getting dumped by a career women, be a man, it only makes things easy. There is more money to hire a nanny to clean your home. If you die, your kids don’t have to live at mercy of others.
A career woman is more willing to sign a prenuptial. The most important difference i find is, you can make a very intelligent conversation with a career women. She gets easily convinced or else makes you aware of things you don’t know.
I want to marry a woman with high income and patience.
