Did you ever hear of a man losing his job, or getting ill, then shortly after his wife leaving? It's quite common. It's very much both sex's perspective of role. Clichéd it may be, but there's a truth behind women preferring men with money, power or strength, or a combination of all.

Yeah, I've been saying this for 25 years... And that "Better Homes and Gardens" is just porn for females.

  I promise that women actually look at real porn. BHG is a fun magazine sometimes but very many of us actually like looking at and/or reading about people actually fucking. If you think we don't, it's probably because the women in your life are lying to you.

It's worth noting that job loss often results in depression, especially if finding another job isn't easy for the person. That also tends to be a reason for divorce.

  The depression results from failing to meet societal expectation. For example, he fears his wife and society at large thinks he's a bum now. Whether or not it's true, the depression is a result of the gender role.

Okay well how exactly "common" is it? > but there's a truth behind women preferring men with money, power or strength, or a combination of all. And men prefer attractive women...so what? The majority of these men are uneducated and unemployed. The article states many are HIGH SCHOOL drop outs. I'm a male. and I can tell you right now that I probably would not marry a female high school drop out. The problem to me is not the women. it's that boys are being left behind in school and more work needs to be done to educate and re-purpose males from unskilled drones to skilled or white collar workers.
