Don't Marry a Careerwoman
"Guys: A word of advice. Marry pretty women or ugly ones. Short ones or tall ones. Blondes or brunettes. Just, whatever you do, don't marry a woman with a career.
Why? Because if many social scientists are to be believed, you run a higher risk of having a rocky marriage. While everyone knows that marriage can be stressful, recent studies have found professional women are more likely to get divorced, more likely to cheat, less likely to have children, and, if they do have kids, they are more likely to be unhappy about it. A recent study in Social Forces, a research journal, found that women--even those with a "feminist" outlook--are happier when their husband is the primary breadwinner." (Forbes)
Now it seems this "education for female" idea is way overrated. Go back to the kitchen, woman !!

If any of you are fortunate enough to have Mr. Tom Lykis on your radios, you would have heard him talk about this article for days last week...

I have always wanted a husband that is going to let me spend as much time around fridge as possible without having to do anything... :o))

Considering I'm making WAY more money than 99% of the men my age, I wonder how many would reconsider wanting to send me back to the kitchen. That means I can buy him (and his buddies) beer, pay for the paintball outings and the boat, and afford exotic vacations.
That, and my culinary skills leave a little to be desired... but I have the ability to pay other people to cook for me!
Welcome to my world suckers ;P
This isn't narcissism, it's reality.

One doesn't have to be a genius to figure this out! ;-) It's one of those universal natural rules ... of course only until - the genetic engineering goes main-stream.

While I resent the post because I have seen many women succeed in both work and home, I have to also admit the articles holds truth in Asia, especially in Singapore.

I felt like responding with more philosophical approach, but well, this is nomadlife not aiesec.net.
I'd say, Dody, if you want us women to go back to the kitchen, it's fine for me...as long as you men do the rest of the house chores. Nyer!

Q: why do women wear white at weddings?
A: you want your dish washer to match the stove and the refridgerator!

ME: musician, degree in business
HER: Artist, degree in Art, halfway through masters, about to start PHD

Women should also be advised to not marry careerMEN either then.

Men are stupid and they suck

Oh and a great rebuttal by Mrs. Corcoran :-D
And she's totally right: Don't marry a a lazy man!
(I could add loads of other types of men that you shouldn't marry, LOL)

"Don't Marry a Careerwoman" - that's good advice for me

I think men may struggle here considering a lot more women are focused on their careers.
A lot of women have agreed with this article! Maybe just don't get married...

and a lot of people who got married, decide not to have kids.
