Is it possible you attract women who "want to be taken care of" because you don't want them to work? I dunno, but do agree the subset of women who are willing to gamble away their own earnings potential on a guy is getting smaller. I do plenty of unpaid work at home, of course. But two incomes give us so much more, and now the kids are grown too, we have to catch up. I just have never been in a position to not work - stayed home with my first set of kids a few years, homeschooled for the first couple years, but went to college at night and worked part time, so when they did go to school I got a professional job and improved our lives. When I offered the same deal to my ex with the second set of kids, he stayed home and did cook, but just got radicalized on the Internet, wouldn't go to school or anything to try to improve his chances at a job, then he got abusive verbally, then physically abusive and I left.

I do hope for you first a good job, with good pay.

I don't feel particularly demanding, and my kids all seem to be in good relationships, some got good jobs in their field others didn't, (I understand about graduating at the wrong time) but are making it work, two people working does make a difference.

And to be fair - before I went to school we lived with 2 other couples to make ends meet, house stuffed full of people working minimum wage jobs, so even though not in parents' basement we did have no chance of making it on our own.
