Most men who marry subservient housewives are unhappy and gradually lose interest in their marriage partners as social and intellectual atrophy set in. On the other hand, anyone who marries a "career" person in the traditional corporate sense is signing up for misery. Ascendancy in a corporate management hierarchy requires a martyred family. You're expected to spend long days at the office, attend and throw parties where no one has a good time, neglect your children, and relinquish all control over where you live, moving across the country if the company asks for it. No man with enough means to be self-sufficient wants to marry this type of "career woman". On the other hand, I can't imagine that a woman who has other options would marry this type of man either. This is why "alpha" investment bankers tend to marry women significantly below them in education and intelligence. Also, what I said about social and intellectual atrophy for subservient housewives also applies equally to those who are trying to climb corporate ladders, as their social and intellectual lives end up being restricted entirely to their work. Subordinate status-- whether one is a corporate VP or a subservient housewife/househusband-- rots the brain. Best is to marry a woman who has a creative, independent and satisfying career that allows her to work anywhere in the country, and that pays her enough that she is self-sufficient.
