(they just wanted someone to stay home and be reliant on them) don't have a problem if they make more money. took great pains to distance themselves from the promiscuous, disrespectful, dominating and superficial male respectful of women's boundries, not being sexually forceful (no substence to their responses)
I'm not like other men. (great, how so? no real substance) I find in a relationship it's more rewarding.
