The cardiologist is 40 something and M to a 40 something woman that is a partner at a large law firm but works from home so she is there for her kids. They just had a baby a year ago.
The last I talked to lawyer friend - he is still single. He was doing the "I am an LBS and W hurt me" so I am going to "date for fun to feel better about myself" thing. I suspect if he ever gets M again - it will be a woman that works with a comparably high income.
In either case - I told both of them their behavior was beyond juvenile and smacked of a lack of self esteem. For me it is much easier being direct with male friends than female friends. And they actually listen and respond - not so sure why men get such a bad rap for not listening... another post for another time perhaps...

The gold digger who wants to "cash in" on a better lifestyle because she chooses not to work for it herself.... The world is truly a pathetic place.....
My entire floor in my dorm were women that went to college to H hunt. The sororities were all about mingling with the "right" fraternities that provide the best H material. I rubbed off on my roommate that joined a sorority when she first came to college. She had a huge KD sign on her side of the room. As a joke, she put up a MRS (mew ro sigma) sign up on my side of the room - outlined in toilet paper.
When I was an engineer - women I met in aerobics, etc. wanted to hang out with me b/c all my friends were male single engineers back then. Many of them M men they met through me.
I have had GF's date men (that they knew they had no interest in purusing an R with) just to go to a nice restaurant they could not otherwise afford - or date men (that they had no interest in pursuing an R with) just so they would pay for a vacation to take them somewhere they could not otherwise afford.
I was always confused by this - so I prefer the company of my male girlfriends and female friends with incomes. It is a different mindset that is relatively more compatible with my own comfort zone.
I think many women believe that they bear the children - and nothing compares to that - so they are entitled to being "taken care of." Not so sure what my GF's that work and bear children are entitled to - they neither get alimony nor child support for their "sacrifice." But then again most of my friends that work do not view having children as a sacrifice. I know for me it will be a gift and a phase of my life I am looking forward to - it will be my privilege to have them in my life.
And let me tell you, I tried the artificial insemintation thing a couple of years ago and men also have the right to place a dollar value on their "contribution." I was paying a small fortune for what most women get for free from their H's!

What I am really writing is I believe many of these women just see their Hs as an ATM......
Yes - sadly they do. It shocked me when I went to these rich housewive gatherings a year ago and women spoke of it so openly. That is why I moved away from them...
They also seemed to view my job - as a side thing that anyone could do really. I was somehow less of a woman than them b/c I was not M and didn't have children. Actually they viewed me the way they view their H's contribution to their M - as not so significant compared to what they ontribute...

In my new M, we share all of the duties..... That signifies what a M should be about.... A partnership.....
I agree. That is what I want in my next R. We share or hire someone to do the duties. That way both people have an appreciation of what the other person is doing. The pre-nup will be there - but really in a "shared" responsibility type of M - that really should not be a big deal.
