Get back to the kitchen and cook me dinner, woman.

[Paradox]

Discussed on FR earlier, and I think the concensus was "Don't marry a b*tch!", and it just so happens that there tends to be a higher proportion of b*tches among career women than normal women, but that may not even be the case, or the difference may be small.

[Revolting cat!]

Beer me, Marge!

[Vision]

Sounds like someone struck a truth nerve.

My solution is "not getting married." I figure that by the time I'm forty and rich, there will still be plenty of divorcees and manipulative twentysomethings for me to date.

I reckon it' ddepend upon the woman. if she's a rabid feminist, then she'd probably have a career. That would probably be a bad match for any poor fellow dumb enough to get mixed up with.

On the other hand, there are some nice ones. The problem is that they're subjected to a barrage of male bashing and criticisms on an ongoing basis by management in the guise of "sensitivity training exercises". If you can find one that hasn't been warped by that, you'll probably be OK.

Mine is a formed Dean of Students. a more wonderful woman cannot be found - career or not.

The house is going to be dirtier

I keep a very clean house!

...according to the Shrieking Sisters of Silliness who cut loose on Mr. Noer.

Hehehehehehehe...

Okay- But after I cook your dinner can I have 500.00 to buy
a new winter coat and boots to match?

I'd rather marry a professional woman than one of those amateur women.

pissant tells teeny, "Get in the kitchen and make me some pie!"

The amazing thing is that, as a guy, I don't think I'd mind doing all the guy things (mow yard, kill spiders, etc) if all I could get was a minimal amount of respect. That's all. While I'm not yet married, there is something undeniably fun about doing The Man things when the ladies need them done and I get to do it. If they have a bare minimum of appreciation for them.

No.

Marrying a career woman is just plain stupid, unless you are one of those rare male golddiggers. But it's still stupid because you'll still be miserable, but while driving a nicer car...

It is not a cultural thing. It is simply the way we are wired (designed). Men and women were designed with different purposes in mind.

[Antoninus]

Marrying a "career woman" is fine as long as you're the kind of guy who doesn't mind sharing your wife with someone else. In truth, she'll have two spouses--you, and her job.

[Fawn]

What kind of career? Some women make a career out of having kids....or cooking and cleaning.
