Doesn't mean that men aspire to the same things you do. If you are happy, great. If you aren't, change it. Don't presume that your happiness automatically extends to your spouse. You really don't know. For most successful men marriage is about significant tradeoffs which don't justify themselves with that which is received in return. Yes, ladies, many of you use sex to bargain for things you want, it is your nature. Yes, many men use their income and money as a bargaining chip as well. So what? The pussy is usually not that good. You, conversely, can argue that it isn't that good for you, and you will have a point. Most men don't care. The younger and the more attractive a woman the less she feels she must do to accomodate her man and work toward the greater good. The older and less attractive they get (if they aren't in a relationship or married) the more pressure they feel to satisfy a man in order to keep him. Sadly, as men become older and more successful, they become more desirable and have the ability to obtain younger, more atractive women. We don't make the rules. We just play the game. Marriage, for a successful man, is grossly overated. No, I don't want to rain on anyones parade and wish anyone who is married all the happiness possible, but why would a successful man want to do it, especially without a prenuptial agreement. There is no reason. It is not mysoginistic, but you can continue to call it that, if it makes you feel better about yourself. I am all for equality, as it is usually based upon economics and the value you contribute and your skill/effort. It has little to do with gender, race, religion or other issues. It is simply how well you perform and how hard you work.
