There is a similar thread on here, but it is fatally flawed. The question does have me interested in something, though.
The setup:
2 men have cloned themself. They both have equal passion for their jobs. The only difference lies in compensation, and how much time they put into it.
Have you ever seen Multiplicity? If the clone clones himself, then you will have a guy that puts pizza in his wallet. Not good, Steve.
You are killing me this morning with all the movies I haven't seen!!!
On a more serious note, give me a man who works less hours and has time to spend with me but still makes a decent living over a rich overworked dude any day!
Hmm... being a guy and thus a poll addressed to the gals concerning employment status of who they would prefer, does not apply. (I note the guy answer in your poll).
I will instead state what I prefer in a gal.
Money!!!
Intelligence and fair looks are helpful but not required. Education level and/or relationship status are meaningless to me if you are rich. I do not know what it is, but Wealthy women get the old libido up. Now most guys worry about looks and other foolish things like professional status. Heck I do not care if the gal made her fortune by gun running and being the founding Madam of "Slores are Us" (the highly succesful franchise with HOP's located in most metropolitan areas). So long as shes got the money honey, I got the time.
As a teacher, I know I should have checked the last one. I swear people think we took a vow of poverty and get offensive when we talk about low paying teaching jobs, lol.
I chose #2. Money doesn't replace a partner in your life. I have a step son who makes good money, travels a lot and rarely sees his kids. They are growing up without a male role model. On the bright side, it's still like they're dating because they see each other so infrequently.
Someone who makes a lot less money but has more time to spend with me. Hubby chose early in his career to go for the public sector where the pay is much lower ( he could earn at least twice or three times what he does in the private sector) but where he has more vacation and is less stressed generally speaking.
Which means we have a lot of time together , have wonderful long holidays and week-ends away etc... and he is happier . A happy husband makes for a happy wife and happy marriage IMO.
We live in a small Edwardian cottage which suits us fine, and live a comfortable middle class life. We go out to eat twice a week, same with movies and go to the theatre/concert/opera about once a week usually.
What would be the point of him earning lots of money if he had no time to spend it.... Money is nice, it certainly helps make life easier and more comfortable but it's not as important as his time and company to me. We have enough not to worry too much about stuff and that's fine with me.
I always wanted a partner in life not a provider and CEO. It is him I want to be with not his money.

Ms. Ivory, that statement had me giggling. I'm guessing you didn't mean it this way, but I saw it as another way of saying "familiarity breeds contempt."
"Yeah. It's like he's still a new boyfriend, instead of the same ol' boring same ol'."
i dont want to live with someone who is working 100 a week and is so stressed. i mean where is the together time? it's not worth it to me to have all the luxuries in the world and no one to truly share it with. i would rather be poor--which i am LOL
but of the selections, i chose the second one. i dont WANT to be poor, but i dont want a workaholic either
