If I was a man, I would want a traditional woman.
But then, some of my ideas are kindof old-fashioned, LOL.
Wanting more money is greed, pure and simple. the fastest car, the biggest flat screen TV, whatever...

I had to learn to cook, to do my laundry, to take care of myself.

What I miss is being with a female who like being intimate every now and again.

I don't want any kids, so I definitely don't want a stay-at-home mom because that's out of the question. I want a driven career woman, and it's ok if her drive and ambition means she can't spend as much time with me -- I am busy, too. I like to see people who are driven to excel.

If all women fell into those two preconceived and oversimplified categories, then:

Modern Woman would be for fun. The sex is easy and wild, she doesn't expect you to marry her just because you hooked up. She can afford to help pay for some of the dates, and if she's really successful she can go ahead and pay for most of them .

Traditional Woman would be more of the long-term type. She doesn't have a Little Black Book that is bigger than yours, she doesn't mind if you are the primary provider, and it would be easier to raise kids if you didn't have to juggle them between two full-time jobs.

That being said, not many women strictly fall into those two categories (how could they???) As beowulf said, there are women who have all of those attributes, and I suppose women who have none of them . I would probably go for a hybrid of the two, and I wouldn't consult my "Which-Category-Is-She?" book.

Nevertheless, hypotheticals are fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wanting more money is greed?! Haha, then to quote Fox's advertising campaign from back in the day, "Greed is good!" I want as much money as I can get my hands on. The more, the merrier.

The more money you make the more the government takes away, so who is greedy??

Just remember one important thing -- Don't steal. The government HATES competition!

So do I...she doesn't need to make money. I do.

Luckily, I already have that kind of relationship, and she controls the purse strings, not me. She has complete control over my money...because, really?, I don't care too much for money--money can't buy me love.

Not so much, it is only like that for 'wage-slaves'.

Once you learn how to itemize your tax filings, and begin doing some 'tax-planning', you usually stop paying income taxes.

Over 25% of American households do not pay income taxes.

My husband is a dinosaur and he believes he should take care of his family. He has the highest respect for me and he is my best friend. We do everything together 24/7. I wouldn't want it any other way. We share most work. I still do most of the cooking, cleaning, and laundry since it would be scary if he did that. But he will do "anything" if I ask. After all, men aren't mind readers. Many women think they are.

I know he wouldn't want a modern woman. He also hates high maintenance women. He loves spending as much time with me as possible. With his ex he couldn't wait to get away from her so I'm glad "we are us."
