      Perhaps we should consider chucking the whole idea of schools. I learned more by being home sick and watching the publicly owned channels' schools programmes.

        It could be modified by women being less likely to show off. I've seen the most competent women suffering from self doubts, while the most incompetent men were oozing self confidence.

          This is something what I have noticed, too.

            Yup. I'll be laughing at all those obnoxious kids who didn't try hard in school as I drive in my BMW with my beautiful wife, through a puddle, splashing them with muddy water as they walk by.

            Now I'm not serious.

              no, the whole thing about being a loser cause your wife makes more than you. are you planning on meeting your wife in the while, clubbing her, and then dragging her back to your cave to make little primates?

                Yeah, I already said that there were two variables at play (temperment and intelligence distribution). The are of course confounding, so a proper study would work on isolating them and determining which is most significant. If both occur. &ct.

                  Preparing your strategy for excuses to your wife of why you bring a ****ty paycheque. "I thought we were in the 21st century! this is bull****!".

                        if ur worried about being a loser for ur wife supporting the family, I got a slick strategy.

                        Marry a rich person
                        Divorce
                        Steal half of the assets
                        Marry a poor person

                        yay! u wont feel like a loser
                        :-p

                            What you do with your money is more important than how much you make. My girlfriend makes 6 figures, while I make less than half that. Yet my balance sheet has my net worth at about 3-4 times hers. She's going to have to pour it on to catch up to me. And no, her salary doesn't bother me in the least, I'm happy for her.

                              I like the plan, but I suggest that you change one item:

                              Instead of marrying a poor person, may I suggest marrying a younger person who has surgically enhanced secondary sexual characteristics and looks damned good in the passenger seat of your convertable. Poor is probably better here, but not necessarily critical.
