Women want to marry rich ..

Do you not also agree though that sometimes you don't need to?

You can still be an educated woman and still be a hands on mother and wife without it compromising your intelligence?

brit, that is true. I have experienced that many times. It seems some women can't accept the choice another woman makes. Some women also feel the need to "prove" to men that they are equal or better.

I find that a little sad.

You are right. However, as the article says, many feel that they should work due to peer pressure..

brit, I think rather than "equality" per se, many women today want, and have, CHOICE that previous generations didn't have.

:) :) :)

I perfectly understand.

i know Isobel.

i am just clarifying the issue, to remove some misunderstanding about this issue for some people.

especially the rights for women in the Islamic communities.

Not too different in what I said then.

make sure, the source of the survey can be Saudi base, and they want to use it as a tool against freedom of working women.

I thought everyone knew that already. Whats new?

why the general understanding about love is the bed issue?

but my understanding about love is the feeling issue?

indeed lincoln, sadly, not all are that lucky...or wise.

Good for you, nomerci.

Lincoln, oh no....but when my stomach is growling, I won't be able to .A. because being hungry is distracting, b. because I would be angry with myself for having chosen a loser. But I don't have to worry, as my lovely man is more than able to take care of my needs. I chose wisely. :)

.. and when you have a full stomach you will surely be too lazy to make love. Hahaha.

It's quite simple, money provides a full stomach, love doesn't. And what one shot said.

This practice used to be common in Himalayan areas, but is now dying out..

i don't want to jump to a religious discussion here but there is no harm in mentioning the following especially for women.

in islam , man should earn the money and provide a good living to his family "as much as he can,not necessarily being rich".

woman should raise the kids and help them and support them, there is no objection in letting the woman work and everyone is saying the opposite then he is talking about culture not religion".

the money that woman earn is for herself only and the man has no right to take it from her.

and one more thing, and a lot of muslims don't know about it.

the contract of marriage in islam is not obligate the woman to cook or clean for her husband, but she is doing this in the name of love and good living and for her kids to live a good life.

but she is obligated to help her kids. in what she is good in.

and God only knows the truth and may guide us to it, walla a3lam

i heard about a place in india, where women are forced to marry 2,3,4 brothers of a family simultaneously! anyone to clarify!

I think it is a primeval thing in us. The men are the hunter gatherers and the women are the home makers and custodian of the children lol

So perhaps at some level we do choose men who have good earning potential as that will allow us to do what nature intended.

However, circumstances can change - for example if the man lost his job the woman may be the one to go out and earn the money - so is it not important that at some level their earnings are similar or have the potential to be?

I don’t think even in 2011 a woman can have it all really – if the kids are sick; who do they want the most; Mum. It is us that usually take them for appointments as this is our role. I am not saying that men do not do these things too but we are the nurturers as nature intended. If one of ours is ill and not at school it is far easier for me to be off than my husband. Even then; other women who are single or don’t have children can get bitchy about that.

Show me a woman that says she has it all and I will show kids and husband that don’t.

So , you are in agreement. It is better to marry rich.

Why not?! Money is an issue..

Beware...some woman are good in making rich husbands bankrupt in few yrs..:)

Why do all men think that a women who sits at home does nothing and the one who works should just be naturally capable of handling home and office. And yes when there are no other causes for comparison a woman would definitely prefer a better earning man.

Colt ur wish is accepted !

-Get up 5am, make ur kid ready for the school.

-Brush his teeths, wash his potty...:)

-Prepare breakfast for ur kid and ur wife

-Feed him, make him do homework.

-Wash dishes after dinner

-At 10pm, jump in the BED and ZZzzz.....

So are you ready mone ? :)

s_isale if you have not been in any schools, then tats not my problem...:(

Rizk - do the schools get over at 12 AM?

leaving aside the high heels for a minute..

The survey showed that "64 per cent said they aspire to find a husband who brings home a larger pay packet than they do. None wanted to marry a man who earned less."

hence the Love argument goes out of the window .. :O)

I'm not, is why I said I'd prefer to be a stay-home husband :-P

Back to the topic Colt...so tell me, are you rich? ;-)

money is just like dust , sooner or later the wind will blow it and the origin will remain

ya never know eh? :-P

I didn't know you were into cross dressing...

nisarnaderi dont work !

Go marry a billionare gal and you will have workers under you....:)

Ima still go with flats and knee length skirts though ;-)

It's an art Colt ;-)

No need to work while you're on this topic, go look for a rich girl instead ;-)

i need ajob

any body can help?

I prefer flats, but anyways, the balance you display in heels is cool... so i lub you for that balance ;-) (I think I have been watching too much of "My Name is Earl" :-(

brit.. when he get back home..I make sure I am at home to give him a hug/kiss and his coffee..:) but cant think of cooking and cleaning all day..:) ok when I am rich.. I will have people to do that too... then how many hrs I will spend in spa and gym?...:)

Idk how that is possible if the husband wraps, or the wife is on the pill... in any case, if that occurs, then I will switch sides ;-)

Colt, I thought you didn't like heels??

I wana fall in love with a millionairs daughter who is not interestd in my bank balance :(

I lub you, not for your bank balance, but your balance you display in your heals :-P

A Husband becomes a Dad after 9 months, if i am right ? :(

I disagree with this survey...if you fall in love with someone whole-heartedly you're not interested in their bank balance.

I said stay-home husband, not stay-home dad ;-))

Arien - You're the kinda man I'd want as my neighbour ;-P

Colt a 500 channel TV, a bobcorn machine and a broad band connection with an i7 processor laptop :P

It is true. Taking care of children is full time of job and children never grow.

Earning should be just enough to live comfortably. More money, more waste.

People just waste upgrading Apple 2 G to 3 G to 4 G

"and what are we supposed to do at home..waiting for him??"

Yes! You can spend time not on coffee mornings etc, but also in ensuring that you are waiting for him with a smile, open arms and a nice drink after his long day at the office..

OMG you can't even start to imagine how much I can do staying home in a palatial house ;-)

Can you imagine the parties?, Let's not even start :-P

colt..lol what will you do staying at home?

I wish I could've married a rich woman and been a stay-home husband :-P

its obvious tat women wants to marry rich guys in fact its a typical human nature even men wants to work where they get more pay than wat they earn presently.

Rizkz I dont want a fourth soul to suffer. :)

ArieL, you Mice ! :(

You dont have to reveal here, do you ? :(

Rizkz you have THREE WIVES and WE ALL KNOW it..

britey, i am wise and i am Nice too...:)

But are you wise ?

It seems that when all is said and done, women DO want to be mothers and homely when possible.

I am wealthy and Healthy too....:)

One is more than enough ... I am not as young as I used to be :O(

brit...are you rich enough for a 2nd chance? lol

Thank goodness , I'm married already :O)

Wasting on surveys... it's natural fact

was not required,

it is an open fact...

when kids are small if you can afford to stay at home then its fine.......once they are of their own....what will we do sitting at home? more money will make man more busy...and what are we supposed to do at home..waiting for him?? that’s not me ..:)

I think I will start something of my own or work for some non profit organization rather than sitting at home...

Same level of intellect or more..:)

I won't mind marrying a woman either for her money :-P
