the only thing that kills me about these type of things is that women as always feel the need to jump to the extreme end of the spectrum, talking about unemployed men. being a blue collar worker doesn't have to equate to working at burger king for 20k a year. another thing that really pisses me off is both genders' emphasis on the superficial and the material in choosing a mate and their dismay when shyt falls apart. how about you start putting an emphasis on character?! if you are a woman making high 5 or 6 figures and you find a good man that's making 40k plus or so, then whats the problem?? is he a good person?? is he paying his own bills, living in his own home, has his own mode of transportation?? do women really not understand that in 2013 with rising costs of living that it reeks of selfishness that you believe that you shouldn't shoulder some of the load, especially if you are making comparable or more money?? you're an adult, why should another adult be responsible for you?? relationships are partnerships, not server/servant. i've been married 5 years and my wife and i take care of each other, emotionally, financially, etc. also, i quit taking that article seriously when i kept reading dept instead of debt.
