I agree. The little princesses couldn't possibly fathom not having their sugar Daddy take care of them...as if they're still children living at home with their Mummy and Daddy.

Playing house is for 4 year olds.

Grown up women get a job and bring something more to the household.

OP - I just dropped into this forum.

If I had that choice I would encourage my striving wife to strive away and I would be glad to work at a museum part time and keep house the rest. What a deal.

And playing role-reversal is not fine by those who like the gender status quo as it is. You may like your men to wear your panties, too; we don't. Some women's desire to be men will not shame other women into feeling guilty for wanting to be women. Sorry.

It doesn't matter whether it exists or not (though in this vast and great land, the chances are that it does). I have several guy friends who've said that they don't really care about how much a woman makes or how ambitious she is. What they want is (a) a woman who's a good caretaker and (b) a woman who "keeps it tight." That means she works out, gets her hair done regularly, and always wears sexy outfits. It's a fair exchange in their minds: "I'll bring home the bacon, you take care of me and the kids and look beautiful."

So I was wondering if it also worked the other way around. Would women be okay with the "I'll bring home the bacon, you take care of the home and keep those arms ripped" arrangement?

We've tried this. I've done the 50+ hour work-week, I've also worked from home. It did not benefit my family so we pulled the plug.

When the kids aren't as needy I'll go back to work.

BY - You do realize that attitude is shallower than a saucer of beer in the desert. You've been watching too many soap operas.

And those people can go back to the 1950s.

This is 2011.

Gender roles are non-existent, as they should be.

They don't have to. They can just find other people on the same wavelength - like any other preference.

It's different when you have kids. I am talking about women who stay at home and expect to be taken care of financially.
