Marrying/LTRing successful women

[Lexington]

I thought it would be interesting to get a discussion going on this topic. What are people's thoughts on the level of education and money that a woman should bring to the table relative to the man?

I'm talking about LTR material here. Obviously if you just want to boink a girl for the night, the requirements may be quite different.

Should to woman be a stay at home Mom? Should she be at home and do the household chores, and raise the kids?

Should a woman have an easy career (e.g. teacher, receptionist)? Or should she have a pretty solid career (e.g. MBA, engineer, lawyer, doctor, successful entrepreneur etc.)?

How would you feel about marrying or long-term dating a woman who is considerably more successful than you? What if she makes twice or more compared to you?

For what it's worth, statistics show that upper and upper-middle class married couples are less likely to divorce then their lower class counterparts.

If they make too much, they are a pain in the ass. My ex was an accountant who made 1/3 of what I did. She still thought she ruled the world...YMMV

women admit their sexual desire get less when they make more than the man because they feel they have more power than him .
for me I prefer a "stay at home mom" , the much woman depended on the man the much she put in the relationship and less likely look for divorce.
also women with no /low income are more feminine.

Whatever money and property a woman brings into a relationship she will not spend on joint items...she considers that *hers*

Oddly enough she also considers your money *hers*

apparently men are too stupid as a whole to comprehend this or they just don't care.

Reminds me of that guy on here who once had an affair with a woman who was a CEO or some other high level job. She would let him drive her Jaguar and he would use it to pick up other girls, lol.

Who was that?

But a SAHM won't be one when you're dating her, unless it's someone else's. She has to have some kind of job.
