I've said it many times before on here: Women are attracted to a man who has got his 5hit together in life, it just so happens that most men who have are likely to be successful in their careers.
I think it's a foolish man who puts those things down to coincidence!
When a woman says a man 'has his sh*t together' what does she mean? She really just means he's got plenty of money and is able to work hard. For her.
And the bigger question is why are woman attracted to this 'stability'?
Because:
Having a man to support them means they can continue to live the life they want, which is the life of animal (nesting, breeding and then engaging in other frivilous bullshit with the rest of their time).
All humans have to decide whether they want to live as animals or transcend to something higher. I think most women are comfortable to function on a lower level. They are just so contented with shopping, working jobs which require half a brain cell and talking rubbish with other women about all manner of inconsequential, petty bullshit.
They're also attracted to the man's stability for work avoidance as I've already mentioned. I can probably excuse ladies from working on construction sites because of their physiques but that's about where it ends. They have NO excuse for not being involved in other male dominated areas like all the various fields of science. And no ladies, 'women's studies' is not a valid field of academia by any stretch. That's just narcissism.
Independent women who don't want to be looked after a very, very, very, very rare and chances are they don't date men. Why would they need to?
