Here’s a list of the statistics by social scientist quoted on an article on the well respected business magazine, Forbes:
- 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
Forbes.com published a story Aug. 22 by editor Michael Noer on two-career relationships 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. Here’s a link for reader discussion.
They removed this article and put it back up with the Counterpoint. Rest assured I’ve had experience with career women. They are too busy even just to date, and I’ve come to abhor hated people who are tooooooo freakin busy to get together and cut them out of my social circle sooner rather then later. Do not waste your time with this type of women.

This marry-my-high-school-sweetheart-after-graduation idea is so last century. Don’t find yourself in a situation where you need a man to support you!
tsh, tsh… I agree with Twanji. Ramon, realise that women are starting to take charge of their lives mainly because men who normally want lots of sex generally loose interest in having just one woman - then they are left without a career after you dump them. Guys that would agree with you, Ramon, have a very self serving attitude and need to wake up an smell the fresh roses - it’s 2006 not 1850.
