Forbes.com published a very controversial story on 22 August by editor Michael Noer that provoked a heated response from both outside and inside our building. Elizabeth Corcoran, a member of our Silicon Valley bureau and principal author of the magazine’s current cover story on robots, sent in this rebuttal.

This article was so controversial the publisher and editor-in-chief, Steve Forbes, issued a public apology.

Anyway here’s some of the reasons found by social scientists as strong negatives to consider before marrying (or dating) a career woman:

  • They will be unhappy if they make more than you
  • Women’s work hours increase divorce rate (increase in men’s have no effect)
  • She’s more likely to have an affair with co-worker
  • Those with graduate degrees 1.75 times more likely to cheat

Rest assured I’ve had my fair share of experience with career women. Maybe the most frustrating experiences have been when my cousins or friends try to “fix me up” with a female friend of theirs. Whenever these women are career women, they are the most difficult people to pin down just to meet and get to know them…I have better things to do with my time rather then wait around for them.

Do not waste your time with this type of women. The question I want you to ask yourself: DO YOU WANT TO BE RIGHT (SUCCESSFUL) OR DO YOU WANNA BE HAPPY?
