There is some truth to this, in that, I've seen feminine greed ruin lives and relationships before. Although, I don't believe women in general are as materialistic as some of the women I've had to deal with in the past.

So far, what I've learned from this thread is that women care the most about two things in men. Penis Size and Money, everything else is extra icing on the cake. HA, and men are the simple creatures?

I have to get along with the guy too.

I just turned down a job making something close to $10/h at banfield, but they refused to tell me exactly how much until the third interview (I got tired of their bullshit, can only imagine how bad working for them would be) and I refuse to slowly kill pets while telling their owners I am helping them. Their optimum wellness plan is bullshit designed to make pets sick so they can make even more money treating the problems their plan creates.

when I was married, that was the plan. She was going to have the career and i was gonna be the stay at home. as you can see, it didn't work out (true story)

8/10/2009 3:37:57 PM

If you're really a prince, I'll marry you.

8/10/2009 3:38:51 PM

^^so, you're older (and possibly more mature) now. would you still do that? like, if you found a woman who made mad money and ya'll got married and she wanted the same things. would you do it? or would you somehow feel inferior and feel the need to work and support the fam?

8/10/2009 3:43:04 PM

One time I took Lucy to an auction...and I bought her this creepy clown puppet thing from like 1931. She slept with it for like a whole week, then had to go see a psychiatrist.

BALLER.

8/10/2009 5:26:35 PM

You did take me to an auction, but you won several bids and then conveniently "lost" your wallet.



Ass.

8/10/2009 9:32:49 PM

who wants to trade in a well-paying job for unpaid volunteer work or a lesser paying, more meaningful job?

i mean, we're here to make money to pay bills and support a family. taking a job with less pay (or no pay) is just...fucking stupid.

8/10/2009 9:35:44 PM

i'm seriously considering leaving my job in the next few years to become a teacher


that qualifies

8/10/2009 9:37:01 PM

oh that totally qualifies

but if you plan to have 5 to 9 children, i'm going to seriously advise against becoming a teacher

8/10/2009 9:37:29 PM

minor detail



There is such a thing as making money, but if you really don't have the passion and like it, it doesnt matter. If you can get by on less money but you enjoy what you do more making less, whats so wrong with that?

I'm not saying do something were you can't support your family, but as long as they are supported, whats the problem?

8/10/2009 9:39:34 PM

I'm saying you can't support that large of a family on a teacher's salary. But of course, if you can support your family with a "lesser paying more meaningful" job then by all means, go for it.

Personally, I'd be hardpressed to find a job that pays me less, that I enjoy more than my current job, that is also enjoyable enough to actually give up the creature comforts I've become accustomed to.

Namely - that expensive fucking Honda in the garage

8/10/2009 9:42:36 PM

^ if you enjoy the better paying job, even better


I'm glad i'm not burnt out on it yet, and I hope i dont anytime soon; its a good fallback

8/10/2009 9:44:15 PM

I don't think I could find a job that is more meaningful to me than what I'm currently doing. I picked this career path because it interests me and I feel like I am contributing to something our country needs. I also happen to get paid well for doing it, which is a bonus.

8/10/2009 9:48:22 PM

eleusis works for the man

8/10/2009 9:49:57 PM

I moved into management. You'd be amazed at how difficult it is to schedule a conspiracy and keep it on budget.

8/10/2009 9:52:23 PM

No, no, no...I understand. The lines get blurred....

I mean, how do you claim earned value for your tasks?
Sure, you might have a specific workpackage to charge for the rape....but if the female gets wet, then she's enjoying it right? At that point, it could be seen as a leisure activity....where you can charge the gas used to get there as a govt. write off.

oh bother...

8/10/2009 9:56:23 PM

I can't lie though; smashing the hopes and dreams of inner city youths and minorities gives me warm fuzzy feelings inside that I just don't get from charity work. Maybe things would be different if David Duke would organize more charity events.

EMCE benefits from my work. when he goes to TWW parties and asks "where all the white women at", I can point him towards their designated corner.

8/10/2009 10:36:28 PM

i would love to be the breadwinner - i just couldn't do it on my salary.
if i made about 5x what i make now, i'd be down for the stay-at-home dad idea.

some people just don't get their motivation from their work - some find that fulfillment outside of the job. whether it's because you are locked into a career path because of debt, education, etc. i wouldn't knock someone for holding a crappy job and being able to come home and do what they enjoy.

as long as everyone is contributing while you still CAN contribute (you aren't handicapped, don't have to take care of a kid, aren't @ retirment age, etc.), then you just bank whatever extra money you guys make. most likely, you'll need it some day.

....last week, the couple who inspired this thread split up. I can say that his lack of job didn't cause the split, but it certainly helped it along IMO.

6/22/2010 12:06:40 PM

I'd be up for this. It would mean I'd be living a nice life, because I make decent money. But I'd have no problem with the lady bringing home most of the money if we were still on the same intelligence and ambition level.

6/22/2010 12:10:53 PM

^those fast food franchise management positions just don't pay like they used to eh?

6/22/2010 12:20:13 PM

honestly, i would totally be fine with making more money than my SO...

the dead end job/no motivation thing would be a deal breaker for me.

6/22/2010 12:25:21 PM

Every time I post is setting you up to troll me...so I really don't have an option.

But your post was an extremely weak attempt at a troll. All it does is make me pity you even more.

My parents have been married for 25 years and my Mom has ALWAYS been the bread winner in the relationship and for the first 18-19 years of their relationship my step-dad couldnt stand it.

When I say bread-winner, I mean my mother makes between 32-34,000 more then my step dad. She deserves it, she worked her ass off in school, got her Master's degree, adn is really great at her Health Administration field.


My Mom, told my Step-dad, " if you are are not happy with the fact that I will be taking the lead on various family decisions, and making half the decisions as to where we take family vacations, etc), then you can leave".

Oh and one other important thing, which I think was smart as hell for my mom to do was, she decided to have separate and joint banking accounts. They have one joint account that they both put $$ in for family purchases, spending money for summer trips, etc. They also have their own personal accounts, b/c my Mother has investments, liquidated assets, clearly worth more then anything my step dad owns, so should they ever part ways(with it being 25 years this year, not so likely, but if it happens), then she wont EVER have to worry about if he gets any of the $$ that she earned through her hard work, educational successes, career advancements, etc.

So think of it as a personal safety-net just in case something happens, and in this day in age, I think she is WICKED Intelligent for doing so!!

6/22/2010 12:40:09 PM

i would let a womenz win me sum breadz

6/22/2010 12:50:39 PM

I could be the breadwinner if I could have a breadwinner type job but because I want to be a teacher and Ken is a developer, there is no way in hell I will ever make more than him. I think Ken would be an excellent work from home stay at home daddy. He is the best ever.

6/22/2010 1:29:03 PM

this situation is something i consider a lot these days. im currently pulling in right under 100k/yr, and my gf makes roughly double my salary. if things stay static, and we stay together long-term, it will always be this way, and even though salaries in my career top out anywhere between 150-250k, it's very likely that the disparity in income will only increase, possibly tripled or higher. it's not a bad problem because i do alright on my own, but its something you have to talk about and acknowledge. do i wish it were different? as a guy and considering gender roles, yes. but does it bother me? not really.

6/22/2010 1:33:31 PM

^ that's the situation to be in

6/22/2010 1:36:01 PM

agent 0 i think you're in a good situation because your income is still good on its own. its not like you're making $35k and she's pulling in $200k, i could see that being much more of an issue

your income would directly impact the lifestyle you would have together.

no woman wants to feel taken advantage of when it comes to money, just like no guy wants to feel that way.

btw what does home girl do? i could stand to make that kind of cash
