The work I am in has certain demands, so I cant help being wrapped up in my work, plus its a career of my choice which I do love and am passionate about. Apart from that, it pays my bills and my mortgage.. nobody else does that for me.. For the most part I just don't get being passionate about work, but to each their own. I certainly don't think one way or another about it being a woman with a career rather than a man. I do however think that when parents can afford it one should stay home, doesn't matter wich one. :OjitheFanKeybumpersticker: | |

I would definitely prefer a woman to be goal-oriented rather than just wanting to do nothing. If there are children involved and we can afford and IF that is what she wanted to do, I would be open to her being at home. If she works outside the home and holds a very firm position in a company, I'm all for it. More power to her. Cerebral-oriented momentum entices me.  I am MrVictor.... | |

A woman that has her own life together and has her own career.....is very sexy. | |

I would have thought by 2005 this is ridiculous now, yet it still is fact. Do men really prefer more *homely* women who arent so independent, cos they feel this is a *safer* option when in a relationship? Do they feel *threatened* by women who are more autonomous and financially secure? 
Discuss. I think the exact opposite could be argued as well, that even though it's 2005, most women want a man who can and will be the bread winner...not that they want to give up their careers but that few women will fall for a guy who isn't contributing a significant amount... My own personal view, tho, is that in reality most men and women don't really care one way or another...men aren't frightened by "career women" and women don't specifically seek out "bread winners". We fall in love with whoever we fall in love with...and worry about the other things afterwards. | |
