[quote=UCGal]Why do all these conversations make it sound like all women/wives are shrews?
I’ve seen a lot of men anxious to buy and the wives questioning whether it makes financial sense.
FWIW, and this is just MY opinion… the phrase Happy Wife Happy Life is annoying. Marriage is about compromise – at least it should be. That means some of the time the husband is less happy, some of the time the wife is less happy. If it’s 100% happy wife then the marriage isn’t really a partnership – it’s a dictatorship. Do you guys really live your life that way?[/quote]
This is all true…however, I don’t think some of the piggy women here are the majority of what the general populace is like.
I’d think and you’d probably also agree that in general, in our society, women have a greater desire to have a nice home compared to a guy. Sorta similar to how “I think” women care more about how they look physically than men, especially in the category of Married [men] with children. Sure, you have guys that do cosmetic surgery and all that, but the numbers are probably (again guessing) higher for women. You have 16 year old teen girls in South Korea that are planning the major work they should do.
My assumption, and as a guy, I really don’t care what I look like anymore in terms of clothes, grooming, hair, etc…since the “goal” of finding a mate is not a goal anymore. Why waste resources and time to look good when there is no carrot at the end of the tunnel?
Maybe I am in the minority, others can chime in…
That said, I think it’s just how society is and all these comments are annoying, (sorta like comments on how a dad can actually stay home and watch kids?!!?!? which I get annoyed with too), but such is life and all that…
