i used to think that was a silly thing to want but as I’ve aged I think that finding a man who can cope with a woman who has better education, and earns more money and can cope with that without needing to fund sone way of putting her down or asserting themselves is a little bit more rare than you might think. But I’d love to hear from men who are able to

heap my comment about men wanting to keep women blah blah was pretty simplistic but then I was not trying to pretend that comment was based on research. Slightly different from what you were doing.

the subject is complicated. What I object to most is the sweeping comments about womens place or role or abilities without allowance for individual abilities or skills. It is that boxing them in that is a problem. I actually have no where near as extreme views as you might think but I’m perfectly happy to be that way of talking to men who can’t allow women out of the box.

if you talked to enough emancipated women more and more of them are thinking exactly that they really don’t need a permanent attachment in the form of a man.

"but I'd love to hear from men who are able to."

Hey, I'm over here, Parsiful. Love it that my wife is highly educated and holds a high end corporate position. Allows me to swan around at home making as much money (depending on the day) from private ventures while slumming it down at the club with the other trophy husbands - we are the new breed . Of course there is the brutal downside of cooking, cleaning and grocery shopping, and bouts of solitude when she's away on business. But nonetheless, I find it quite liberating . I feel sorry for the old fashioned type guys demanding to be in charge of carrying all the load, and wanting to be in charge of everything. Must be awfully tiring.
