Who said anything about conquering? And is there anything wrong with wanting to surround yourself with your betters? I feel like I know that there are things I bring to the table, and things I’d want a spouse to bring to the table. Like maybe I’d make more money. I’d be cool with them being a low paid research person foe their life. I just like academics because I enjoy the intellectual stimulation. Would it be better if I just valued a girl for how she looked? Is anyone allowed to want anything in a spouse, or have any standards?
You all seem to view your potential partner mostly in terms of what that person will do for your ego = never gonna work. Using the checklist approach will literally ensure you never get married.
See, this would be valid if I wasn’t able to execute on my strategy. But you don’t know whether or not that’s the case. So your point is moot.
Have fun being constantly negative. I’m guessing its because you’re not happy with yourself and because you’re not able to achieve or execute on the strategies you set for yourself.
i’m not negative, i just don’t have the capacity to sugar coat the truth. in any case, i’m just trying to help, however futile. what i realize more and more is that people don’t want help, they want validation of their own shortcomings, which is one way to go about life.
