Can't wait to see these fukers in a few years with 10 kids and complaining about how hard they have it when you choose your own future and lifestyle.

because the guy thinks she's pretty/hot/whatever and she says stuff he wants to hear and/or is to blind to realize she is worthless besides her lady hole. it's basically how the world has worked since the dawn of humans.

It's not as dire as you make it seem.
True.

Not a job I would want. Usually pays around minimum wage.

I'm not sure how you fix it either.

For easy math say you are paying the worker $10 an hour to watch 4 babies (rule of thumb I always heard was to double that for the employer's cost: $20 an hour). Then to cover a 40 hour work week you really need to cover more like 50 hours a week/10 hours a day because of commute time and lunch hour. So even if there is no overtime the daycare owner is out $1000 a week for direct labor to watch 4 babies.

Plus insurance, licensing, costs for the building, salary for manager, supplies (diapers, wipes, etc.). Even charging $250 a week/$1000 a month for each of the 4 babies they can't be exactly raking it in.

Can confirm. Seems like you pretty much are starting from scratch after a long time away, even if you have a lot of experience.

Here.

You also completely ignored what the OP said. I didn't bring up that "Some dudes want a wife that is as successful or more to make financial stresses easier in life." This is about dudes marrying women without any future or who don't even try to take on their own careers. The guy ends up supporting the entire family and becomes miserable. I'm not miserable at all. Fukn love my life and responses like yours remind me once again that autists still exist on misc.
Cope? Here is your OP:

Where does it state they don't try and take on their own careers? Do you mean by take on their careers = lucrative six fig salary career? Someone who goes to college and "brb no life outside work and their relationship" seems to me they are dedicated to work and family.

Not all men who take on the entire family expenses become miserable, if anything it's prideful and great if you can live on single income and still support your lifestyle/family.

You seem mad that you need two incomes to support your lifestyle and butt-hurt. Your lashing out proves how mad you are, lol at all the posts you have to come and defend yourself. As I said:
Each their own so long as it works for you and you're happy who gives a fuk? Oh ya, fukkin miserable people who want other people's happiness to fail so they can be miserable together.

How am I mad? I'm 24 and am in the top 1% of my age group for income. Money is not the problem, it's lazy fukn dead beat people who leech off of others, in this case dead beat women who leech off of decently successful men.

Just LMAO @ prideful and great. Does that pay your bills? "Hey Capital One I'm $6,000 short on my credit payment due this month, can I pay with my pride instead?" give me a fukn break

Who gives a fk what women want? Lmao
This lmao

Lol at girls who get passed 30 and are desperate of settling down that when they finally land a desperate beta its not all glam and colorful because real relationship up to marriage are built over time and not in the course of a couple to few years

Great, as am I and don't need my wife to work to pay the bills. Also getting yourself into $6k short on credit payment is poor fiscal responsibility. If you're chit with money no matter how much you make you're chit with money.

Now define leech, a stay at home mother who takes care of the kids/family is not a leech IMO when both spoke about pros/cons of working, daycare, etc. Now if she EXPECTS and DEMANDS her husband to do it while she doesn't help out, that's a leech in my book.

This hate towards stay at home moms is crazy. You wouldn't want your kiddos raised by yourself/wife, you'd rather pay a stranger to do it?

There are two things you need to always remember in life:

1. People are stupid, that may even include yourself although the thought might have never occurred to you.

2. I WILL smack the **** outta you son.

Extreme opinion. There are women who actually want to help with providing to their families. There's a lot of COPE out there about money not being important, but women who are bums will latch on to a man who actually has a stable job, entice him into getting married, having kids, and eventually fukking his future over financially. Keep in mind this isn't a huge group, but I've seen it happen.

Decently attractive females that went for guys that were obviously going no-where in life. They came from decent families too.


Now they are 30 years old with multiple kids, living with their parents. Decent brah's don't want to wife up a 6 or 7/10 with baby daddy drama and a women with no future. They get no child support and live off of parents + retail or fast food jobs. Lulz.

sure. my GF claims to be someone who would never try and ruin me(she wants to get married something bad). she also makes a ton more than I do and has assets I will likely never have. she uses this as her reason to never want to ruin me. I told her she's never hated me enough to want to divorce me and that if it came down to it she could simply spend me into being homeless in court. I would never be able to contend. while I don't have a lot by comparison I have achieved a level I never thought possible when I was a kid because I grew up so poor. so I'm going to do all I can to make sure that's not taken away from me. not putting all that at risk over the emotions of a female is a critical step #1.

This. I think finding charisma within someone as they continue to get older is a very rare thing.

I think a lot of it is the fact that guys just get used to people. If you were dating a ****ty sloot but seen some things you liked you’d probably be able to look past a lot of things. Rule of life is to never settle. Always follow your ultimate goals

Good luck with your super career oriented broad who will kick you to the corner at the slightest sign of marital trouble and will STILL take half your shiit.

A man should marry a woman that has good family values above anything else. Loyalty and emotional support >>>>> Financial contribution.

Some of you *******s will learn that the hard way.

not at all. I did just lose a business due to divorce. I spent the last 10+ years starting and running a business with my dad. welp his 2nd wife decided she wanted a divorce. he offered her the house and to pay 100% of the cost of living in the house plus a little in a monthly check. she declined the offer. as a result they had to sell the house and business and split the cash leftover 50/50. he also still has to pay her alimony. yes that's right not only did I get screwed out of 10+ years of work(night/weekends) that I put in on top of having my regular job(50hrs a week. I was legit doing 70-80 hrs a week for that time) but he still has to pay alimony for the rest of his or her life all while not even having a job to be able to do that. so basically she'll end up getting all of the cash anyways. this way it's just spread over a longer amount of time. he's 62 years old and she spent every single bit of savings they ever had on vacations, home improvements and who knows what else so it's not like there's a huge job market for retired business owners.

it's when my GF saw all this go down right in front of her eyes that she finally accepted that I'm never going to get married. she has no retort to evidence like this.
