Do men prefer working women?

By Super Admin

Times are changing and the minds of people are also changing, but 'men will always be men'. More or less men remain with their same mentality. They will always want a wife who will cook for them and at the same time be smart and a good life partner. Earlier men were very adamant about the fact that their wives should not work and that they rather stay at home. Women were subjectively supposed to do household work and take care of children. Thus men have been very choosy in choosing their wives from time immemorial. Some men are also of the opinion that highly educated and qualified women do not make good and homely wives.

But as said before times change and some changes have started happening in the minds of men though not all. The present situation and the present condition have brought a turning point. Nowadays men are preferring women who are qualified as well as working and professionals. They prefer that their wives should move forward along with them , be even resourceful in monetary matters and even be independent. This bend of mind has occurred in men in the recent present but to speak out my personal thoughts my father was always of the opinion that his wife, that is my mother should work and be independent but my mother had no such desire so she did not. Finally my father wanted me to work and be independent. His desire made me ambitious and now I am working because of him. So in a way being a man my father had such a belief that was so different from the men of his times.

But there are also plenty of men, who wanted the total package: Brains. Looks. Mommy potential. Earning potential. There's no question that a man with a career-woman wife will sometimes have to put his family first -- whether it's taking time off to be with a sick kid when his wife can't or making dinner once in a while (if not every night). But he gets things in return: a chance to know his children intimately and an intellectually equal wife who feels fulfilled -- and grateful to him.

Some guys think that sacrifice is worth it. Others don't. I'm not sure if that's changed in the past 20 years, though if it has, it's for the better. Guys today , many of whom grew up with working mothers themselves, seem far more enlightened than their predecessors Men and women both want partners who will go out into the world every day, as a breadwinner or a homemaker, earn a good grade and still have something to give to the relationship, I would not be inclined to marry a man whose drive to get success kept him from being a supportive husband and partner.

Many working wives are able to gain approval from their husbands by pressuring them. Although some husbands don't actually agree with their wives working, they relent under pressure. This is not the approval that a wife should seek or desire. Pressured approval will eventually undermine the marriage relationship. But nowadays the guys are easily found to give approval easily and some are in search of true professional women who will be able to support him in all the fields. In this age of privatization the men are aware that both should work on the basis of security and long term benefits. Thus I can conclude that men are there who still are of the opinion that their wives must not be working but along with that there are a huge number of men who are of the opinion that their wives should work and even their parents are supporting the matter that their daughter in law should be professional which I think is a great step forward.
