Well, i've never actually worried about receiving gifts since I was a child.
I'd accept gifts, but I don't make hints at something i want or ask her to get me gifts.
Which is very respective of you. But If i offered to get you something or just bought it and knew you liked it.....then you rejected it....I would be heartbroken.
Okay, when I read about power and advantages in marriage, I can't help but think of a frightened man.
If this man has power amongst other men, he probably got it the "old fashioned" way, he sought weaker men to rule over. Cough. Fear.
If this man, however, is one of the weaker men, who is ruled by a more "powerful" man, he certainly doesn't want his wife to know this. He also certainly doesn't want a wife who is smarter than he is because she would then easily figure out he is not the most powerful man.
Where is that picture with the men fighting with clubs?
And I cant help but think that women who want the man to pursue them and want the man to earn less... is insecure and frightened too.
You couldn't handle a relationship if you didn't have total control and all the advantages over the man.

I've never rejected a gift before, but most gifts I've had weren't very expensive, or were gifts like lingerie for her to show off to me.

As a woman you are not in a postition to give gifts to a man. Men give gifts to women, not the other way around.
I think a lot of times people get together before college or grad school - way before they start making any significant amount of money - and this question becomes more aligned with intellectual equality than financial prowess.

The one who earns more money should do the pursuing
How does the person doing the pursuing know who else out there is making less then them - unless everyone carries a sign indicating their total net worth?
LOL! Yes, I could. We, my husband and I, are a team and the way we work is that we live our lives to the best of our abilities.
Which is an awesome way to be. And that's what I want.
