How love change the life

Women are checking a mans
ability to provide a home &
steady income for her and the
children. The Bread Winner
role, has been the role of men
since the beginning of time. But
in today ’s economy it is
becoming harder and harder for
men to play this role. In fact, I
think it ’s harder now than ever.
Studies show it time and time
again. About half of marriages
end in divorce. And the #1
reason for most of these
divorces????? You guessed it.
MONEY. When men hit hard
times....get laid off, fired, etc,
usually the next thing to go is
the wife and family. That's why
so many men go postal when
they lose their jobs or source of
income. They know that the loss
of their job and income will
probably lead to the loss of their
wives and children (not in all
cases of course...but it many
cases, this is often the eventual
result). So I can understand why
these men snap. I don't condone
it.... but I understand it. Men
today are under enormous social
and economic strain to prove
that they are "worthy". In
decades and Centuries past, if a
man owned a little land, if he
could farm, if he could hunt and
live off of the land, or if he had
some sort of manufacturing or
industrial job.... that was
considered enough. He was
considered worthy and viable as
a date, boyfriend, husband, etc.
Today, this is no longer good
enough. So in many ways, we
are under more strain than our
forefathers, despite the Civil War,
WWII, the Depression, Social
Injustice (civil rights era),
Vietnam, etc.
In the last several years, it has
become harder for men to find
meaningful employment
(emphasis on the word
meaningful). This is leading to a
situation where 90% of available
women are competing for the
same 10-20% of available men….
(the men who happen to be the
top wage earners in this country)
. Women are less willing to
“ settle” for the other 80-90% of
men. That’s right, women who
don’t get the Attorney or CEO
hunk, or the Entertainer type,
consider the hardworking guy
who earns $25,000 or $30,000
busting his ass at some bull----
(Republican economy) service
job, as something that they
“settle” for. This is what is
leading to fewer marriages.
Women are waiting longer and
longer …. Hoping to get
something more than the $
25,000 per year loser. It ’s
becoming a common situation to
find 30 something and 40
something women who are
single, waiting to run across a
high wage earner (that means at
least $50,000-$60,000 per year).
So what is a guy to do? On one
hand there is this economy
where it is harder to get a good
paying job, with the job security
and benefits that people need.
In fact, employers are decreasing
the amount of benefits that they
offer and are looking at more
ways to cut their payrolls (I work
for one of these dreadful
companies). Yet on the other
hand, there is this Oprah,
Bachelor & Bachelorette TV
show , Who Wants To Marry a
Millionaire female culture that
tells women that they should
marry into wealth. In fact,
women are taught this from the
time that they are old enough to
play with dolls …. It comes from
their mothers, from society in
general, where it is reinforced by
what they see on Television. Now
i'm not blaming women.... I say
go for it. I'm just pointing out
that for men, it is becoming
harder to meet these
requirements.
