I’ve previously discussed that in the past decade, I’ve seen a great increase in the number of my female clients and friends who would like to not work and, instead, find a guy who’ll support them.
That anecdotal experience has been supported by the spate of recent books on how to find a rich husband, a seminal New York Times article and a more recent Reuters report that even large percentages of women physicians and Stanford MBAs are wanting to not work or to work minimally. Perhaps that because they saw their first-wave-feminist mothers not find working outside the home to be as pleasurable as they thought it would be.
A recent CNN article explains that the desire to be a stay-at-home woman, extends not just to the women who claim their motivation is to spend more time with their kids, but even to the childless.
Guys, if you don’t mind assuming all of the financial burden associated with a live-in woman and perhaps children, fine. Some guys don’t mind. But many others have unwittingly been manipulated into being beasts of burden by women who use the techniques summarized in the above-referenced books and articles.
Make sure you’re making the huge decision to bear all the financial responsibility with fully open eyes.
