    This the 2nd time you've pointed out to me that someone was being sarcastic. Pretty sure it was you. I remember the sheep avatar. Apparently I suck at detecting sarcasm online :confused2:

    I’m talking about the basic laws of hypergamy.

    Perhaps calling all women gold diggers, just because they naturally desire to marry up, rather than marry down, isn’t a fair way of putting it.

    Its a natural instinct for a man to feel needed by his woman. If a woman is wealthier, smarter, and more successful than her partner, then it’s not going to be a very lasting relationship. It simply won’t work.

    I see this in my sister’s marriage. She is the breadwinner of the family and her husband is a stay-at-home dad. They are miserable people to their extended family members, and I can sense their unhappiness every time I talk to them. She’s constantly working and far from her kids. And her husband admits to me he doesn’t like being provided for, but he does it because his kids need him. Marriages like this don’t normally sustain themselves.

    Lol

    Not with a man like you perhaps. But not every man is like you.

    Once you find yourself a woman who’d provide for you with her higher income, let me know how it goes. I wish you the best

    A lot of relationships are a team thing. Money is shared. Personally I don't get your argument.
    If all you really offer is money what do you offer? Like she can't leave since you buy her nice things. I don't know I guess I do make more than my partner but I have never thought of providing like that. Of course if I can buy something nice I will but I would hope it's me that is more important. She could take care of herself if she had to. If she made a million dollars tommorw I am fine with house husband duties. I can be a man of class and leisure. :tearsofjoy:

    That's funny because a couple of times I've been on the verge of suggesting it to you as a way to move elsewhere. I don't know why, but I can see it, somehow.

    I'd rather BE rich than marry a rich man.

    6-eyed, I can't believe you really believe this stuff. I mean, it's true of a minority of people but I have known several relationships, happy successful ones, where the woman earns the money. I met a guy just last night who told me how much he'd enjoyed raising his kids because his wife earned more. They still together.

    Yes, miserable people with poor communication skills often find themselves in unsustainable marriages.
