+1 my wife to be ( 3 months) makes 4X what I do. She provides security and I provide the windfalls. Works perfectly. The key for marriage is for both people to be REASONABLE which VERY few people actually are.
just remember the word "reasonable". maybe 5-10 years from now you might recall this as you decide if its gonna be the desert eagle 50 or a pipe bomb or moltov cocktail or feeding her to sharks............ I know the odds are in my favor of being right, sad but true. if i'm wrong...well....your a lucky guy
lol, go on Craigslist and you find huge number of MARRIED men looking Casual Sex. The few "women" looking for Casual are mostly porn sites and no real people.
In this culture, neither women or men need marriage - though life may be more satisfying with a committed partner. Commitment doesn't always mean marriage, and marriage is no commitment except for the money part.
Actually, the kids part. It's quite difficult trying to raise a bunch of brats on your own. If you want a committed partner, get a dog. A dog will literally take a bullet for you.
Kids part means more court hassle when you get a divorce. Who needs child custody battles. Instead of the word committed, "stable" may be a more appropriate word here. Marriage supposed to provide some stability for kids and family, doesn't always happens.
My hairdresser is Russian. I remember talking to her about the culture in Russia and I asked her, how the Russian women are? She's like they are tough and always in charge. I then said how do they compare to American women, she laughs and said... by a landslide American women take the cake on that one, they are the toughest and always in charge. I feel in america, that we are losing the role of the man and the role of the woman. Women now do everything that men can do, they work, they negotiate, they lead, they're in congress... and I think that's great.... but in a marriage, it's just a path for disaster. Having 2 strong headed people form a union just isn't going to work. Take all look at the major corporations, they are all headed by a CEO, one guy to make the FINAL decision, not 2, ONE! Women now imo are the men the in relationship. They generally have more power than the man. Biologically this just does not work. In relationships Men need to lead, be the decisionmakers (of course taking the woman's decision into account) but they need to be MEN. In America, this just is not the case. I've spent a lot of time in Central / South american and find that the women there are much much more softer, know their role in a marriage, and let the man be the man and lead (and more importantly, want the man to be the man). They want you to provide, to lead, to be a figure of authority, while doing their part in the home, clean, cook, take care of you, and the kids. All in all, it's much easier to succede in this scenario vs the macho american woman
If the US elected a woman president and she met Ahmanut from Iran, do you think she would wear a hijab or wear attire like she was the leader of the free world?
