A woman making significantly more than you rarely works out. In this case, an actor is one step above rapper in terms of ambition. I say this as someone who has been in the industry. No work is guaranteed. You don’t know when your next check is coming. And y’all can get the fukk out of here with “he could have next” because he could struggle for the rest of his life, and even if he did have next, he’ll have access to all kinds of women he didn’t have before. Do you expect him to stay with her? What happened to men are only as faithful as our options? Why is every struggling man expected to be the most faithful just because a woman stood by him on the come up? Most of those men leave for another woman.

This isn’t a situation like Oprah and Stedman, where Stedman was equal with her when they started dating, and her career took off. Oprah may be a billionaire, but Stedman wouldn’t be living in a one bedroom apartment if they broke up. He’s still a millionaire on his own. I’d say the same for Rihanna, and As Soon As Possible. She may be the breadwinner, but he’s not struggling, and he’s still rich on his own.

We’re saying a big reason she is probably still staying with him is because he’s probably good looking and she doesn’t want to dump him then a couple years later he takes off. She’s holding onto him because of that.

Breh...id love to have this come up....I cook and clean too. She just needs to let me paint til I faint.:gucci:some dudes got it too good.

He would get a PT gig as a trainer or work in the gym or at comic book shop. And be spending her cash and vacations as I paint my ass off.

Lol if he’s good looking she probably doesn’t want him to have those professions because he’d have women throwing it at him and potential safety nets should she try to move on from him.

$3k?

what job was he doing? onlyfans?

bro, gotta do better than that. she clearly doesn't care that she makes more than him. it's the emotions, for her. she's making enough money to retire in 10 years, but $3k is just more than a bum.

Riiiiight.


Like being with a teacher, a principal, an accountant, etc
. Not her making $280k and marrying a man making $23k :dead:




Men get with a woman who makes less because there is an understood dynamic. HE is the breadwinner so HE runs the show. SHE is getting pregnant and staying home and taking care of the house/kids.

A woman is gonna make the bulk of the money, get pregnant and then go back to work and leave the baby with the husband? :dahell: What is the point of that lol
I think you are giving too much credit. You really think dudes are thinking about all that? :pachaha: nikkas be lookin at that ass and thinking bout that grip :russ:.

If she was thinking about all that she wouldnt even be in this position. Her issue is that her dynamic is not one that is socially acceptable. She obviously wants to be with him. But she is concerned about the looks at the hospital gala, and how other women are gonna look at her. She called these people looking for an angle to support what she wants to do and got the exact opposite.

Most actors dont get paid a lot and they dont book gigs consistently. So 3000 for a couple gigs is totally plausible.

I mean if it's really love there and he cool with playing house husband/stay at home dad I don't see the issue. She'll never struggle for employment and makes $500k a year, you gotta have someone watching your kids, why not your husband?


The only issue is that he could be just getting his hobosexual on and once he hits a come up he's upgrading to a better looking woman (this is actually very likely the scenario that plays out if he gets on).

But I don't really see the issue with having a stay at home husband if you're up 500k a year and he's down to play that position. I don't know what the problem is outside of the above hobosexual scenario.

Yes. That’s exactly why. And women try to rationalize all kinds of men who aren’t husband material, because he’s attractive to her. This is just a mild case. You’ll have women meeting men with criminal records on some, “That was in the past, maybe he changed.”

Oh. I should’ve asked- my bad. I thought you didn’t think they made that much lol I was like she’ll be making 2-3x that soon enough
Sounds like she just got started. If I am understanding her correctly those were her first year earnings and she said she will damn near double that the next year.

watch the goddamn video, it is her first yr salary she is expected to make 500 k in the second year...

How do some of yall comment and yall don't watch the bare min before commenting

What does that have to do with anything I said

Are you stupid…you watch the video again you dumb bytch

The average orthopedic surgeon salary is around $573,000 per year, though it can vary significantly based on experience, location, subspecialty, and practice setting. Early-career surgeons may earn closer to $400,000, while experienced specialists in areas like private practice and certain subspecialties like spine surgery can earn over $700,000

Once you make a certain amount of money you gotta give up on that ‘equally yoked’ mentality like most men have always had to

Do you though? Even in the clip they mentioned that successful people tend to be around each other and date/marry each other. Lawyers marry doctors, engineers marry COOs, etc. There's a misconception on this forum that rich men are out here marrying peasant girls and librarians like it's 1860. The majority are marrying equally or similarly successful women (financially). Or marrying women from rich families. Sure some rich men marry lower/middle/etc income women but that's not the majority.

If you change the genders this question becomes a lot more simple.

Do you want a trophy wife who is worthless outside of her looks and ability to give you good looking kids?

If the answer is yes Marry them, if no, have your fun but wear condoms that you flush in the toilet when you’re done.
