spin:can men handle a woman more successful than them?

[Mr. Somebody]

You stay posting real ass shyt

We have to save our money in these times friend. We cannot be out frivilously spending. Also, realistically, these women that brag are not making as much money as they claim. There is a false perception that there is a huge gap between the salaries of black men and women but if we really dig deep into these thoughts, we find that we are still in this together.

70 percent of All Americans make under 50 grand per year

Only 11 percent of Americans make more than 75 grand per year

ONLY 5 percent of 30+ million Black people make 77 grand or more per year individually and only 7.5 percent of 30 million make 100 grand, TOGETHER.

This should tell friends that while they think their extra income affords them some breathing room in a relationship to act a particular way, typically bossy and unreasonable friends should never keep their eyes off the prize and pool/save their income for the benefit of their family. Not to waste on things we dont need or to have leverage as it concerns power in a relationship. Please dont demoralize your mate and or make them feel insecure about their wages yall, every dollar counts because realistically, most couples are a check or two away from being Homeless.

The best information friends should get out of this chart is how Household builds the best income for friends.

Its so demonic, friends.

Lol huh?

Many women are allowing a difference of 5-10 dollars an hour to make them feel like they deserve some special treatment ignoring how much better they could do together if they pooled their month with someone. Sadly, many friends dont want to pool money, they want to have Their money, and spend someone elses. This keeps friends at a lower level in life.

No, my fiancée is more successful than me atm, and I don't have a problem with it at all

Its all about how much weight is being pulled, if I wasn't making anything, unable to pull my own + our weight, or just stuck in a dead end job, then I'd feel some kinda way

As long as we can meet in the middle, or if something happened to/with her situation and I'm able to all the weight, I'm fine

Interesting..so what if something happened where you were unable to pull your own weight. ...would your feelings change?

My wife just graduated and will be making a lot more money than me soon. I've been holding us down so long that she can't wait to start contributing to our finances.

I joke around and tell her I'm gonna quit my job and find my true calling once she starts working

But either way the balance of power will be preserved in my houshold I'm the man after all.

I agree...but I do not behave this way although it seems some men expect women that have more than them to act a certain way...and they end up messing up things

GF doesnt make more money than me....comes from a lot more money than me though.

The thread with the 3 questions to women brought up a few questions. ...and since I didn't have the opportunity to go through the entire thread to see the male answers. ..here we are

But I notice a great deal of men claim they want an independent woman. ..but when they actually find one...it seems from my experience men want to feel needed. ..and it starts to create issues for them if their woman is doing better than them...


So can you handle dating a woman doing better than you?

I rarely date women that make less than me. Not that I seek them out. I just happen to be around successful women more often

 

[BlvdBrawler]

Of course I could.

I doubt most women could handle it though.

How do you think men expect women to act? Also, what act do you not go for?

 

[Ain't That Something]

Like Always These Threads Tend To Ignore The Individual. Relationship Fail And Succeed Not Because Of The External Factor but Internal Ones Such As Character. Strife Over Money Is Only A Side Effect Of Incompability Between Couples Made Evident. Pride, Lust, Greed, Gluttony, Sloth,Anger, Envy, Were Rampant In The Relationship And Is Always The True Reason Relationship Fails.

 

[opulence]

Of course I could.

I doubt most women could handle it though.

I think more men have an issue with it than women. ..a man is a man without money and material things ...but I believe society has brainwashed our men into believing they are less of a manif they have not reached a certain status. ...

As if I shouldn't view them as a man....as if I would look down upon them....


If I treat a man as the head of household yet every argument he says well it's your house...then I'll eventually lose respect for him...
