What do you think about marrying someone who is financially better off than me?
You’ll be her b tch. She will never truly respect you.
I did that..... and she tried to make me her ***** and i had to fight her. But today every woman will try to make you her ***** once she got the ring and the kid, because the legal system and society supports this. The difference is, a woman with no money will divorce-rape you while the higher income woman might have to pay you out of the marriage. (depending on the local laws)
That said, rule no. 1: DO NOT MARRY! You can have kids without marriage!
She will still respect you if you:
*set up and maintain frame at ALL cost, never give in from the start of the LTR, open your frame only for the kid, not for her
*stay financially independent, so you can walk away at any point, dont get into depts(mortgage etc.) together with her
*dont be afraid to walk away and make her know it
*you need a woman that thinks you are hot, not a guy she is settling for
*you need to stay hot for her (in shape, alpha, independent), she needs to think/know she cant do better then you
*you need a woman that will get back to work after having kid/s , so you dont end up being the "provider"/cashcow
*you might have to settle for a woman that is a bit lower SMV then you are and she needs to know you have (female) options, in case.....
Having kids in the western world is a high-risk game. You have to be mentaly prepared to walk away and see your kids only once every second week. This mindset helps a lot in not becoming the *****.
