Don't marry a career-oriented dame. Sounds like good advice to me. Who wants to put up with all the aggravation, self-centeredness, pantsuits, powerpoint presentations and general added marital stress? But who is giving such sage advice to non-married men? Vox Day? Some loudmouth conservative like ol' JB? Nope, Forbes magazine (via El Rushbo):
Guys: A word of advice. Marry pretty women or ugly ones. Short ones or tall ones. Blondes or brunettes. Just, whatever you do, don't marry a woman with a career.
Couldn't have said it better myself.
Why? Because if many social scientists are to be believed, you run a higher risk of having a rocky marriage.
Shocking. Good thing we have these social scientists doing these important studies. Otherwise how would we know such common sense things like don't marry a career gal?
While everyone knows that marriage can be stressful, recent studies have found professional women are more likely to get divorced, more likely to cheat, less likely to have children, and, if they do have kids, they are more likely to be unhappy about it. A recent study in Social Forces, a research journal, found that women--even those with a "feminist" outlook--are happier when their husband is the primary breadwinner.
Ouch, man. Ouch.
Read the whole thing as they say on Powerline.
