I agree that is sounds crass that women are interested in a man's earning potential. Perhaps they are really apprehensive about his lack of it. Ask any woman who's married to a loafer how she likes it. G. L. Sicherman ...seismo!rochester!rocksvax!sunybcs!colonel

> Ask any woman who's married to a loafer how she likes it. This goes both ways. Men who are married to women that are loafers don't like it either. Regarding the article that started all this, does anyone know *which* "women's magazine" the poll/survey was in? "Women's Day", "Cosmopolitan", and "Ms" are all women's magazines (aimed primarily at women), but I suspect their readership varies a little. ) ( ) from the mildly opinionated keyboard of _)__________________ |OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO| Dave Seifert |OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO| ihnp4!ihuxl!seifert |OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO| |------------------|

#R:sunybcs:-65100:smu:18900004:000:872 smu!leff Nov 17 11:07:00 1983 There was a recent article in the Dallas paper about studies done on type b and a personalities by the people who do the Framingham evaluations. Men who married a type A women were much moe likely to have a heart attack. Men who were type B but who married type A women were the most likely. Men who married less educated women did very well. I told my friend who is engaged to a very productive and probably somewhat workaholic women about this and his reaction was she was worth a heart attack. In Malachowitz's book on Workaholics, it was found marriages between workaholic men and non-workaholic women worked much better than those betwen workaholic women and non-workaholic men. These may and probably are due to various stereotypes in this society about acceptable masculine behavior and performance and not necessarily based on any "intrinisic" difference.
