My wife never worked. That was fine with me as she really made our house a beautiful home and we didn't need the money. If she had wanted to work I would have been fine with that too, to me either way if your in love and your making it its all good.
I'll take a good, old-fashioned A SAHM anytime. They're usually more emotionally secure and well-grounded and mentally-balanced.
A huge percentage of so-called "career women" are simply trying to lose themselves through the distraction of work so as to avoid dealing with emotional baggage, un-resolved Daddy Issues, and raging insecurity.
I'm a wife. Sometimes I work - sometimes I don't. My husband makes enough to support us so I can still pursue my dreams without the added pressure of being responsible for all the bills.
When I'm working - I'm an animal in the bedroom and way aggressive in general.
When I'm not working, I'm totally passive in the bedroom and the perfect little housewife. HAHAHAHAHA!!!
Seriously - what does working have anything to do with a person's sexuality???
Really!!!
Now I feel like being a housewife with a dominatrix outfit in the closet just to confound the OP.
When i have a heavy freelancing day, my husband comes home and i throw him down on the couch, rake my nails over his face until i draw blood and scream "get it up now!"...whereas on days where i have a parent-teacher conference instead, i cower in the corner asking politely whether my husband would like more home-killed, plucked, quartered and baked chicken, or am i free to go hand-wash and starch-press all his underwear now?
Okay... but then you aren't really going to have a clear read on the results on your poll. Some may vote for the stay at home wife but would rather have someone sexually aggressive - and some may vote for the career woman but would rather have someone more traditional in the bedroom. There are too many variables to have the results give a clear indication on what men would actually prefer.
That's exactly what I was thinking.
Also, I've known plenty of SAHMs who were "aggressive-get-it-done" types.
This:
when the original post specifically mentioned this:
Well, I certainly read it, I understand the premise of the poll and voted appropriately but I just don't agree that it is practical situation to find a guy who earns enough to have a moderate level of comfort. Some guys may believe they earn enough. But they really don't. A minimal level of comfort maybe. But never really enough to engender feelings of total financial security for retirement in today's world. Cost of living has adjusted to 2-income families in recent years esp in larger cities.
Thats the central question: What is a moderate income. I'd say between 60k to 100K depending on where you live.
My vote? Don't put your babies in daycare before they can speak. Otherwise, how can they tell you if something is wrong? You need at least a couple years at home with your child, before they have the ability to communicate with you.
Imagine being mute, helpless and hoping someone will care enough to meet your needs. Pretty much ends up being someone who loves you.
I would never want a woman that has no aspirations. Career oriented fits me best because she needs to be able to sustain herself if something happens to me. I've never understood why women let guys completely take care of them, winging them off of whatever independence they had. Its ridiculous.
