women should not assume their boyfriends or husbands will provide them with any assistance. they need to work hard, save up etc. its BULLSHIT for women to expect hope their boyfriends will support them. take control of your destiny even if it means you have to work harder, dont fall into the trap of thinking you need a man. buy yourself a vibrater!

ummm......okay. You made me laugh! But a pool boy?! Well, on second thought, maybe.....but only if he's also a good cook and does housework and is an intellectual who reads Focault while loading the dishwasher for me. And I hate to vacuum. Hey, this Christian gal doesn't know what ketubah means. Care to explain?

Marriage is fading, its for the lucky few, Love is perfect until marriage is mentioned after 12mths. Woman do not give men enough reason to trust them anymore, its all a game (Money game) because it leads to their security not yours..

I am the primary wage earner in our home. My wife is not living off of my money. She brings as much to our relationship, and our home, as I do. She works very hard as a wife, mother, and part-timer. To suggest the only thing a woman can do to be a man's equal in a relationship is match him dollar for dollar in the bank account is indicative of a remarkable shallowness of being. I have no issue with women who make money or want careers, but money and careers don't define the character and integrity of the person. There are as many well-to-do people with no character or integrity as there are poor people with the same lack. Perhaps you need a new measuring stick of human worth.

How would you know how much work European women do? Are you saying that they don't work and don't have families at the same time or that they don't cook? I think you live in a very small world. The difference is in Europe we don't need a man to support us.

Sorry to burst Your bubble but, it wasn't that long ago that women were considered as chattle. Possessions, no legal rights. Here in America, the slaves were freed before women could vote. My own Mother and Grandmother were given in " arranged'" marriages. Be honest with Yourself, Love and marriage aren't always connected. Many women have married men they had never met. It still happens today. Yes, we are more educated, yes, we pay our bills but, a womans instinct demands she marries a strong, healthy, secure man who can protect and provide for THEIR children. ( certainly she cannot when pregnant) That's the point of marriage. Anyone can 'live' together, women now can choose as well. The survival of the species creates the necessity of pragmatism more than the ideal of love. Love should be the main theme but, many marriage have survived without love. My Grandmother and grandfather were married over 6o years, neither one loved the other. So, there goes the theory of "love" alone in marraiage. Not always possible when the 'arrangements' are left to Yentahs. Get it now? Not pathetic, just the facts, very sorry facts for women. It's still a mans world, isn't it? women still aren't paid the same as men, so, what's Your solution? Lonely forever? Buy a dinner for a lovely girl and try and squeeze it out of her? Get real, the same old ageless game of male and female, the battle of the sexes. Viva la difference! p.s. love does matter, I married my darling 34 years ago. We were both penniless.

Don't mind the whole whore thing. Just wish they were better fakers in bed.

That is quite a dismal view of the relationship which is the foundation for society. My X wife worked all the years we were married, now that she is the X she still works, but she gets $750 a month from me, so no SEX but all about money now. Yet, I have hope. G-d created marriage, so there has to be a good reason for it and for sex and for who supports whom.

When you love someone you make sure they are always taken care of, both emotionally, physically, and financially. Women are precious and should be treated as such because they are the foundation of society. A life without a woman's love would be a dreary desert. Men and women need each other and complement each other.
