You could not be more inaacurate junior. First off, there is absolutely NO way in hell you could ever "pick me up". I don't "roll" with anyone so the crap about girlfriends and making my own decisions is just bullshit. First of all, I do not frequent meat markets where people like you are just looking for a hook up. Yes, unfortunately some women will beleive that your occupation is whatever you say it is but honestly do you think you could walk into a bar and convince anyone who is sober that you are a lawyer, doctor, etc? I sincerely doubt that. So far as how I was raised....you don't even come close. I was raised to be independant and to love who I choose. Parents want the best for their daughters. They know if they marry some deadbeat who pumps gas at Amoco that their daughter could possibly live a life of hardship and no parent wants their child to suffer. The reason I want a financial and intellectual equal or close to equal is that I have had a good life and wish to continue and have worked hard for my socioeconomic status. I am not about to live with anyone who sponges off of my success. It is much easier to have a drama free relationship if you are not constantly arguing over money. Big strain to alot of relationships and has caused alot of divorces. Someone who is on par intellectually simply provides a better sounding board. Imagine a brain surgeon and a guy who mows lawns for a living getting married. Yes they may love each other but you can't say that there will not come a time when the brain surgeon finds that her spouse does not fit in. There will be argumants when he spends too much money as he makes $40 a lawn and she makes $40,000 a month. I have friends who earn $7.00 an hour and friends who make $300 an hour. I typically do not have them all over at the same time. They do not have the same interests, do not talk about the same thing and are an odd mix altogether. On the same note, women who marry for money are trash. Now if they were financially contributing to the relationship and do not expect everything to be handed to them, that is ok. If they think they can sit home and watch soaps all day while their husband is out earning a living and spend all of his hard earned cash...wrong again. If she takes care of the house, raises the children and takes care of her husband and does not expect to go to the mall every day and blow money on $1500 handbags, she is contributing in her own way. No matter what, to have a successful relationship, each party needs to contribute whether it be financially, emotionally, whatever. They should stick with each other through thick and thin, WORK on their relationship and don't just expect it to work out because they love each other. Relationships are a job all on their own. They take love, nuturing, understanding, honesty, trust and a whole lot more. I think there is a distinct difference in woman who want to marry the doc for the free ride and those who make as much or more than the doctor who simply want a partner on the same level. Not intentionally slamming the bottem dwellers, simply stating that I am not interested in a life of financial hardship. I have friends that are waitresses, doctors, painters, artists, baristas, contractors, dentists, lawyers, data entry clerks and even one who puts bumpers on Ford trucks. I love them all and find it a gift to have been blessed with so many friends from so many backgrounds. But none of them expect anything from me but friendship. I would gladly give any of them financial help at any time and I am honored to have that ability. Just don't want to spend my life working to support someone. Why should I? I like to travel, drive expensive cars, take twice a year trips to Europe and live in a nice house in a safe neighborhood. It is my choice and I work for every bit, noboby has handed me anything in this life.
For the record, I am not a bitch I am just a woman who knows exactly what she wants. Yes, insecure men like to label us all bitches, they are challenged by our independance, so if it helped you to label me, you're welcome. Glad I could be of service. We are very different and I appreciate that in this world, we can be.
Yay for boys who like girls!
