Thanks for the link. I did invest over there...made a very good return...getting it back here was easy (although taxes apply). If you know thew right people, then there is a way to not have profits eaten in to by the high Tax from the country of origin...in this case India).
Obstinance_Works: That's breaking the chains of assortative mating! Why should the rich only mate with the rich, the poor only breed with the poor and so on and so forth..? There is no room for such abundance of class discrimination in an age which prides itself upon its depths of tolerance. To hell with the neo-edwardian snobs and their 21st century Downton Abbey.
I am talking about equal and that it CAN be financially if someone DELIBERATELY tries to have the upper hand and dictate conditions to their partner. It has nothing to do with a class system.
guysimple: I am sorry to hear about you. I am agree If women are financial stable they have opportunity/confidence to get out of such situation. But it doesn't bother much for guys whether their wife/gf is bringing money home. here are some guys too who wants ugly, fat, old but rich Lady.
It is a decision I made for myself that I never want to be financially dependent on someone.
I think there will always be people who want the easy way out and go for someone with money. Not everyone is the same though and is looking for something like that.

I think some people have misinterpreted what we're trying to convey. Personally, I give up.

I think it's an easy way for some people to blame someone else if they can't find a partner - not because of not having a job or a lot of money, but because of their attitude. They never want to accept that it could be them and not someone else.
As for Obs, I think that was a deliberate misunderstanding to go off on a rant.

Probably that and the fact that the forum members have a different opinion based on their cultural differences...a very diverse group here and some may also have trouble deciphering what we're trying to say. Where I'm from, most couples have to work to make ends meet and it's the rare few that are able to survive on one income. In some parts of the world, this probably still works for them so that's their mindset perhaps. I'm thankful for not having to rely on the income of a partner when we parted ways.
Most studies show that single homeless adults are more likely to be male than female.
In 2007, a survey by the U.S. Conference of Mayors found that of the population surveyed 35% of the homeless people who are members of households with children are male while 65% of these people are females. However, 67.5% of the single homeless population is male, and it is this single population that makes up 76% of the homeless populations surveyed (U.S. Conference of Mayors, 2007).

I appreciate your thinking of self depended and yes there is another way what many people follow to get everything by doing nothing.

Yes you are right we all from different countries and culture and cost of living are different. In some countries Men only work to earn money where woman look after home or work both but its never mandatory for woman earn and support. Its all her wish.
There are skills/attributes that money cant by - this may well be in DIY/home improvement, cooking, meditating and counseling, child caring, being a good person, skilled at being a mother or a father..the list goes on.
KN I know not all women look for money because i have seen many in my life and one was with me. She supported me sometimes financially our dates without asking her even i got angry at her during my visit as we had long distance relationship and I was studying that time.

Someone said "without money AT ALL, true love between couples fades away and without true love, money worths nothing much."
I said this before They need both.
