I was just wondering which men find more attractive. I am attorney who pulls in a good salary and I depend on my husband for nothing. We are both work hard and play hard and have the best of both world. A beautiful house, great cars, great vacations, good times.
My friend on the other hand refuses to work, she has one daughter who she HAS to stay home with even through her mother lives right down the road and can watch the baby while she works. Her husband works in a really low paying hard work job and they need the extra income, but she still refuses to work and spend a lot of money
So men, which is more attractive to you, a woman who works and a woman who stays home all day while you go out to work?

I hate how biased stay at home moms are. They think just because you have children you can no longer have fun. They think you can not go out an have a career if you have a baby and if you do then you are automatically abandoning your child. I don't think she is trying to say that she is "replacing" her kids with cars, I think she is just asking guys which is sexier, not whether stay at hone moms " rule" or not. I think a lot of them are very selfish. They depend completely on thier husbands, are not independent, do not bring in an income, and exclude fathers from the close bonding they have with the baby while they go off to work.

The concept of a "woman who is independent" always escapes me. What's the point of a relationship much less marriage of the woman is so fiercely independent that they don't depend on a spouse for anything. You can point out all the superficial possessions out till the end of the world, but it seems like your friend might have something you don't have that you can't put a price tag on: a relationship.
My ex-wife is the same way. She says I did nothing for the relatiohship or the family. Since I didn't have a job, I didn't contribute. I've been a state-at-home dad for the past 6 years, raising our two kids because I CHOSE TO. You sound just as superficial.

This is all dependant upon the person's perspective. It's like saying, "Why don't all drive black Ford LTDs?" Everone's different. Our perspective will change dependant upon age and situation (i.e. a woman who is a 1/10 in civilization becomes a 9/10 on a desert island).
I suppose that that when men are looking for a wife and mother they tend to gravitate towards the mommy/suzie homemaker type. Any other time they tend to move towards the equal companion type. Again this is a personal preference that is not "cut in stone for any one particular person".
Check out the following website. It can answer your questions much better than I can. It will also give you a "bird's eye" view of a guy's psyche.

One of the reasons I was attracted to my wife was that she was independent. We too have the best to both worlds with a house, cars, and extra money after bills. It is a definite turn on for me also because I wanted my wife to "want" me not "need" me...this is how I'm gonna raise my girls to be. One last reason its attractive to me is that it keeps me on my toes...if I mess up I know I could get my walking papers.

I know my husband loves me for my independence. I can't imagine it any other way, and I would NEVER in my LIFE want to depend on someone else. I like knowing that if lightning struck tomorrow, I would be OK on my own if I had to be.

A woman that stays home and is not as stuck up as you. Listen to yourself, who gives a sh*t about your cars, vacations, home. I will bet my left nut that your friend is more happy than you are. She is probably a better person too.
