I'm listening now though. I love the title and the theme he is going with tonight.

Made an excellent point against the people who say most homes need two incomes now. He said its simple economics and that if women finally revolt against having to work, labor income would raise for men and all of a sudden you would hear people say you can carry a home with one income

Women ain’t doing that lol. They want that “Sex in the City / Independent, strong, Olivia Pope, girls trip lifestyle”

Kev has spoke on employing your wife before because her answering to another man (even at work) is problematic.

Got an email from my director at work today at 5:25 am and she ended it with, "I am up and working whenever you are available". That is not the life I want my woman living.

Was having this convo my boyz the other day about "why I would never marry a woman making more than me". 3 of them wives make more than them. 2 of the guys are pulling in over 150k and there wives are still making a lot more (one is a pharmacy head or something and one is an executive in O&G). The thing is they don't have the ultimate say in my opinion from the outside looking in. While their wives respect them (both African women) they don't have the final say.

I need the final say, and with women making that much you have to take alot more into consideration vs when you're the breadwinner.

Meanwhile one of my other boys is mid 30s an his own company is taking off. He's telling his girl once they are married she will quit her job an become his CBO, Chief Blowjob Officer LOL. But that's the things you can do when you "employ your woman"

That woman is married to her career. While some men could take that, I could not. I also feel you on the income thing. There was a point when my ex was making just a little bit more than me, and she would throw little slick hints letting me know. Make big purchasing decisions, and it came to a point to where I didn’t feel needed. I decided then that I couldn’t and wouldn’t deal with that again, and that’s when I made the decision to not care about the career or how much money my girl was making.

It’s also hard being with women in corporate and STEM environments. They get hardened and due to feeling like they’re constantly having to prove themselves to the men in the workforce, I feel like they start to act like the men. They lose some of that femininity. I understand why this happens, but that’s not for me.

lol no man in STEM wants to deal with his woman counter parts this is why those woman cant pull any of their colleagues who meet the descriptors they want in a man. Dudes get turned off by these women in meetings and all this stuff and dont want to deal with that at home.

You’re right. A couple of my boys and I talk about the girls we graduated with that left with the same degrees, and while quite a few of the girls are gorgeous, just having classes with them and understanding how they were then and how they are in their jobs, none of us want to talk to them and they are single talking how they want a relationship.

It’s a running joke we have, but one of the girls used to argue one the teachers down about every little thing holding up the class. When she’d start, my boy used to look at me and whisper “here she goes.” One of the girls was an AKA and liked my boy. She would throw herself at him, but she had these nasty combative ways. If you said something, she had to have the opposite view and argue it down. She was from Chicago and was a bulls fan, so we talking ball, and of course she feels like she has to know what she’s talking about because she thinks it’ll impress us. It didn’t, all it made me think was I wished she’d just shut the hell up. I don’t even like the damn bulls. She’s still single, and word is now she realizes it might be her, and she’s trying to change. I hope it works out, but I know any man that gets with her is going to have many days of headaches and days where he avoids going home.

as an HBCU grad you know we reach a point where we look beneath looks (cause there is a high concentration of good looking black women).

you can tell what social or greek org a chick is in if she is worth dealing with lol. Dudes who didnt go to HBCUs be on that “man she too fine to be single id wife” stuff :mjlol:

If the way you feel "Needed" is with your wallet you've already lost. If a woman making more than a man is a threat, he's probably insecure.

Men should bring much more to the table than a wallet, but most only bring some finances. You can't complain about getting treated like a trick when your sense of manhood in a relationship is based around what you can buy and how much money you have.

It's true the other way around too. A woman dealing with me knows she has to bring more to the table than services I can buy. Cooking, cleaning, and a listening ear are all things I do myself or pay someone for. She knows I don't need a gf for pu$$y, I can get that easily on my own. A man in a relationship needs to have that same mentality. What separates you from the rest of the pack? It can't just be your wallet and d*ck because most women can get that any where. If that's all you bring to the table with a woman who has money and can get d*ck just because she has a vag then of course youre going to feel insecure.

A woman who knows her man is rare aint going to be doing that tit for tat money shxt because she knows she can be easily replaced by him but he cant easily be replaced by her.

All most men bring to the table is d*ck and MAYBE some money and that aint enough to compete for a high quality woman. She can get the former easily and is already getting the latter.

No, it’s not just my wallet that makes me feel needed, but thanks for all this playa.

its not even the money its the personality types that come with high income fields. Men put up with it to survive, women do it usually for bragging rights. Nobody wants to deal with the personality types theynwork with outside of work
