PrintableNot me. I don't want to feel I have to provide for her, even if I want to. Plus, I want to be confident in knowing if something happens to me that she can handle her shit [Edited 1/15/09 19:30pm] Under certain circumstances, urgent circumstances, desperate circumstances, profanity provides a relief denied even to prayer. | |

in our house we take care of what's ours.Simple as that men talk dumb shit because they are immature dogs who think that a woman should take care of them. Fuck that noise. Any man who thinks like that is a Pussy | |

Your wife is so lucky. On the other hand, if the woman had certain things -- e.g. material wealth, professional security, education, etc. -- that I didn't have, but brought them to the relationship to complement the things I, in turn, presented likewise (which is pretty much how my marriage does work), I'd be thrilled with that. Ultimately, I want a partner, not a sugar mama, another daughter to raise or some love/hate competitor with whom I'm always keeping score. [Edited 1/15/09 19:34pm]  | |

Yes to all those questions--for some guys. Personally, I like a woman who has ambition and drive. I don't need a woman that I can take care of to make me feel like a man. Alot of men ARE intimidated by a woman who is more successful, monetarily, than themselves. | |

Eh it's hard to say. For some guys, their definition of being a man is taking care of his mate. If they are not bringing home the bacon, then they are not a man. | |
