I'm not entirely sure what kind of relationship you have or had with your father, but mine was as good as parent as anyone could possibly be. There isn't remotely enough of a difference to warrant saying that women somehow make better parents than men. The fact that there are many, many men who choose to take the kids during a divorce settlement or what have you should show that.

Are There Any Differences Between Men and Women that Justify Inequality?
- Thread starter Sunstone

Please don't take me too seriously. I only made a wild guess based on my community
Here all important duties related to making a living and providing, is on the husband's shoulders as obligations while they can be done by the wife but not as an obligation. This makes it ultimately typically on the husband. We men really have it hard here
I guess you're right. Oh well, divorce is not common here and men here are typically raised with taking all possible responsibilities related to providing and making a living, so my wild guess could be wrong after all.

I bet you still spent more on her for the 14th though right?
that might be a good 'scientific' poll to test the theory here
who spent more on who in your relationship?
Many hubbies I know here are on their 2nd marriage. They learned from the first ones, so the 2nd ones are more stable.
That's a tricky one. She bought me a card, but I expect that my $5 flowers cost slightly more. Then she lost the card, but spent $10 on Zingerman's chocolate cherry bread cuz I got her the flowers. It's like an ever escalating cold war, eh? As long as both sides think they're winning, all is good.

when you say more stable- the marriage or the women they picked?
Both.
Many wives I know are also on their 2nd marriage.....to guys on their 2nd.

I'd think it's something of a defacto obligation anywhere to some extent- where's 'here' out of curiosity?
I guess it is only natural for any second try of anything to be more stable than the previous
It appears to be a whole lot of work & cost though. I recommend taking care to get it right the first time.I guess it is only natural for any second try of anything to be more stable than the previous

Hmmm.. I was still hoping I could stabilize my 1st, apparently the ear rings were not the ones she liked, I might try the chocolate cherry bread next time, that sounds good
I never buy jewelry unless she picks it out. It turns out that there are differences other than price!

Oh, here is the Western Region of Saudi Arabia
Well that's interesting, I've been to Qatar, UAE, and liked the people I met there. when you say it's hard on men, do you think it's easier for women there? just curious- that's not meant to sound rhetorical.
Where I am it sure is. I mean, the husband has to pay a dowry, give an expensive gold set to the wife, prepare the place to live from A to Z, typically have a job for the obligatory living making for both the wife and the children, practically work as a chauffeur with no option to say no... not to mention the costs of some events before the wedding... GAAAAH! No wonder I'm still single!
We have no choice but to get it right the first time. But yeah, victims still show up from time to time. Life is not perfect.
That's cool
Nope, I wouldn't say it is easier on women in general. I'd just say it is easier on women in the field of life expenses and living obligations in this subject. Both genders accept their specific obligations here for one important reason: having the family intact and its members close and loving.

Did you come from a large family, are they all still close?

Just out of curiosity- did you share similar beliefs, spiritually with your 1st wife and do you think this is an important factor in any marriage?
I haven't moved on to a 2nd wife yet. We're both irreligious so there's no conflict there. Is this important? I suppose it can be. Many things seem the cause of divorce, wanting children, cheat'n ways, physical degradation, money, etc.

A person's "Dependability & trustworthiness" are not tied to how wealthy a person is.
Ah, I found the link. The survey had 15000 respondents, that's pretty big.
Millionaire Men Prefer To Date Women With Less Money
The male millionaires seem to want to take care of their spouses. The female millionaires don't want to take care of anybody and would prefer a financially stable partner.
Another result from this same survey is that over 80% of the female respondents would insist on a prenuptial agreement, while only 17% of the male respondents would do the same.
It seems that rich woman don't want to share their wealth with their spouses. Wouldn't equality specify that females that are the bread winners adhere to the same rules that male breadwinners follow?
