Women always say: "A man isn't automatically the leader just because he's a man. Marriage is partnership." Ok. FEMALE DOCTORS: You make $300K. There's a loyal, hardworking security guard making $35K ready to marry you tomorrow. Marry him. Pay the mortgage. Finance his life. Lead the house. If it's just love and partnership, why does his income disqualify him? FEMALE MILLIONAIRES: Stop demanding a man on your level. Find a hardworking man making $40K. Build him up. Pay his bills. Give him the lifestyle rich men give their wives every day. If money doesn't determine worth, practice what you preach. REGISTERED NURSES: You make $90K. A carpenter makes $65K. He's faithful, responsible, hardworking. Why isn't he enough? Why is the doctor automatically the better catch? I'll tell you why. A rich man marrying a poorer woman is normal. No one questions it. But a successful woman says her husband MUST earn more, and we're supposed to pretend money doesn't affect her attraction? Stop lying. YOU CANNOT DEMAND TRADITIONAL MALE RESPONSIBILITY WHILE MOCKING TRADITIONAL MALE AUTHORITY. You want him to approach, provide, protect, pay, fix, solve, and take the hit when it all fails. But when he expects more say in a house HE'S financing, suddenly marriage is partnership? You want equal authority but not equal RESPONSIBILITY . You want a captain when the ship is sinking, and no captain when it's time to steer.
