Why do women seek men to earn more than they do?

I know the feeling. No more pets for me.

I love Biscuit to death but it's like having a toddler..it's 9:30 and he's tired and I'm tired. :biggrin:

I know more women who have been abandoned by their husbands - no CS, no visitation, no nothing - than I know guys who've been taken to the cleaners. Someone may have already said this but I haven't gone through all the posts yet.

Maybe not but you've certainly seen women who were struggling because they're raising children by themselves with no help from the sperm-donor.

It has been my experience that men lock *themselves* out. I'd tell you about the divorce negotiations my ex and I went through but it's too tedious. Let's just say that Larry's having custody of his daughters was a big red bold check on the "plus" side.

There may be some out there that buck the traditional roles but they are few. What male who has a cc of testosterone would want to be out earned by his spouse. Wrong or right it is in our genetic code to be providers. Conversely what woman would want a panty waste guy who was happy being out earned and settled for being provided for?
Go Pete! :clap:

That said, I must confess that I make about one and a half times what Larry makes. But I didn't start out-earning him until about a year ago and, since we're both business owners, that situation can change at any time. When we first met, I wouldn't even have considered him if he made less than me. Sounds shallow, but it's true. I wanted a guy that's better than me. :shrug:

Like I said earlier those men are few and far between. If you find one don't let him go. He's a keeper. There are a few left out there and hopefully I will find one.

Larry had that situation and HE got custody, not his ex. And she's a good person and involved parent, not some crack whore.

It's all about choices. There are how many billion people out there? There's a pretty good chance that one of them is your soul mate. It's just a matter of not settling for Mr. He'll Do.

I think I'm done now. *whew*
