I appreciate the money my wife brings in. It has moved us from making it to comfortable.

I still make more but she brings in about 75% of my salary which helps pay for 3 kids in college.

So many cliches, the cautionary tale serving a political narrative would have sounded more realistic without them.

Reads like the first page of an incel diary.

Constantly talking about this Red Pill shite is exhausting. Touch grass.

Yeah, that's nothing to worry about.

Nah, women care way more about how much you make than men do.

So you married someone that makes less than you, and she married a man that makes more than her.

The point.

Women with some level of ambition understand why you may have to spend three weeks in Japan for work.

Women with crushing anxiety, and the inability to self-soothe, either for their careers, or anything else, do not attract or keep men that have their shite together. If the "career women" that OP describes were SAHM, they'd still have, and project anxiety, because they can't self soothe. The career has little to do with it. It'd be "stresses" from being a homeroom mom, the conflict going on between her brunch friends, the crushing anxiety of picking to go to Mexico or Disney during the summer for the fifth year in a row, or any number of things.

I'd much have a career woman than one that occupies their brain with dumb shite. In my opinion, women need real things to focus their minds on other than family.



Who do you hang out with?

The professional women I know are on tik Tok and obsessing over the child murderer girl like everyone else.

The professional women I hang out with enjoy murdercasts, but they are also into sports, hobbies like hunting, fishing, golf, tennis, pickleball, needlepoint, music, etc., and are pretty interesting to talk to, having had a broad education and, often, a keen sense of curiosity.

The professional women I know


Are all great people, at least the ones I chose to associate with or are wives of friends. A few are single in their 30's, most are married with kids and leading a "normal" life. They are simply high functioning people, no more or less. They manage to balance a career and family life and according to their husbands do a really good job of it. They are all in good shape, wake up early, work out, get the kids out, do their job, etc. The husband's of course have to do more around the house than those of us with a SAHM in the house, but they also make A LOT more money than my house does.

I do know a couple women who are out to conquer the world, and they might succeed, but they're going to do it without kids. Only one that I can think of who's really into the girl boss thing. Shes going to die rich and alone, because Tim Tebow isnt going to fall out of the sky into her lap, and thats what it would take for her to get married. She's basically elected to marry her career and is a miserable person to be around.

But for the most part, they're just high functioning normal people. I suspect that is far more common in real life than the girl boss cat lady thing in OP.

This sounds like some straight up copy pasta.


The most entitled, irritating, laziest women I've dated were usually broke chicks, not career women. There's definitely some narcissistic career women put there but it's better than some super entitled brat with a low iq who works at Dollar General and expects you do everything for her. Ill take a "career woman" over that.

My entire post was pointing out that women that can't control their anxiety were the problem, not just career women, and this is your takeaway?

Sorry to break it to you, but my rants and missives are never copied, they're all shite that falls out of my head. Nobody is copying shite I write and re-using it anywhere, I assure you.

She is also is bewildered why guys don’t seem interested in her 6 figure salary and nice condo over looking the city.

Gonna guess there's some big minuses about her to offset that big plus.

I like a woman with a good job. Beats me having to buy all those shoes and purses. This TD trope abt women regretting their careers in favor of being a housewife is hilarious. Bro, if you can’t find a woman interested in you, look in the mirror.
