Are there more and more women out there that are okay being the sole breadwinner in a relationship?
Does anyone want to support this fledgling artist in these difficult times and form a bond that can never be easily broken?
Is love lost on most people in these modern times?
Can I get an amen? Or maybe an allelujiah? Any answer would be good too... | |

Posted: 7/7/2009 5:34:46 PM | i think if you have been with someone for a while, and then they decide to follow a lower paying career or return to studying, or starting off as an artist etc.. then it would be reasonable for the partner to support them, personally i wouldnt want to be supporting a guy from the get go.
money of course is important, but i earn my own so i get everything i need myself, and would never be reliant on a guy to provide things for me.
a good friend of mine is the sole money earner, and it works just fine. her partner stays home, and he does the chores and looks after their two smaller, and her one older child. they have no issue with it. | |

Posted: 7/7/2009 9:57:27 PM | OK, first off, topic says one thing, the whole post is about something completely different. Say what you mean, mean what you say.
What kind of girl are you really looking for? You ask if a girl's ok being the sole breadwinner in a relationship. Then you go on to say that you want to be supported in these fledgling times. Well, what happens when you hatch? The bond can never easily be broken because I'm sure most women would be all over Judge Judy crying foul when you dumped her after you succeeded. I mean, hey, if that's what you're looking for, all the more power to you.
But, I don't think you're gonna find a lot of women that are gonna like the sound of that approach. I've been there. I'm never ever supporting a guy again. Your profile says student so there should be zero excuse as to why you can't bring in some kind of income.
Now, the like the other person said, it may be different after a relationship is formed. On the other hand, I would feel almost tricked depending on how long it went on if I had never known about these dreams and then found myself in that position. But, if it was someone I loved the support would be continuous unless his dreams started sinking us into bankruptcy.
From the getgo, I think you're dreamin. I may be wrong, but no one wants someone who's just gonna sit around hoping for some kind of breakthrough while they slave away and support them, especially if they have no expectations of doing anything else at home. Come on now. Most of the legendary painters became legends after dying  | |

Posted: 7/7/2009 10:21:58 PM | Even in these modern times most women don't respect a man that cant at least hold his own or at least try like hell. I looked at your profile..I would stick to your dream of starting a business you might get lucky and find someone who is a whiz in accounting . She might prove to be an asset to your business. but never expect a woman to outright support you.
It makes you look lazy.
Hell I even loose respect for the women out there who are looking for a guy to
"take care of them".
sorry I know the question is meant for the women to answer I just couldn't resist putting my 2 cents in
hope it helped | |

Posted: 7/7/2009 11:30:05 PM | ha ha It sounds as though you are looking for someone that doesn't think money is an issue.
BUT, could you date a girl that wanted to be a fledgling artist?  the both of you could be homeless together.
That means that money matters to YOU, and that you are concerned with money, because you are looking for someone to pay for you.
Most girls want the guy to support himself. Maybe, (a big maybe) a very unattractive girl would be willing to support you? Otherwise, I wouldn't get your hopes up.
Maybe Mom will let you convert the basement. | |

What percentage of the female population thinks money is important?
Having an excess of money is not important, but the ability to support oneself is very important.
Are there more and more women out there that are okay being the sole breadwinner in a relationship?
Not me. I can't afford to support you, too. No can do.
Does anyone want to support this fledgling artist in these difficult times and form a bond that can never be easily broken?
Older rich ladies can sometimes be persuaded to become your "patrons." Or older rich men, too, I suppose. Why limit yourself? Get out there and sell, sell, sell!
Is love lost on most people in these modern times?
Love does not mean I give to you and you take from me. | |

I'm choosing to start at the 'heart' of the matter, OP. I can only speak for myself, but,
I will give you a resounding NO. Love is not lost with this girl, but I am a romantic.
Modern times have nothing to do with it- nothing to do with the heart.

This is subjective to each individual. I believe that money is basic to all needs.
Out of all of the friends I have had over the years, I only know of one instance where the wife of a couple I know was the breadwinner, so to speak, I was a collective choice between the two of them- they wanted to raise their children at home vs. a daycare and she had greater earning power.
Does anyone want to support this fledgling artist in these difficult times and form a bond that can never be easily broken?
IMO, one has nothing to do with the other . There are two topics here. Would one want to support a fledgling artist? My answer to that is quite blunt. Get off your ass and do it yourself. If you were truly passionate about your art (third person), you would have the passion and the drive to get your art off of the ground. I did.
Secondly, forming a bond that is never easily broken is one thing, and one would think that that would have to be formed prior to supporting said artist. The image and idea that an artist has to be supported is lame beyond belief. Get a job and keep a
art as a hobby until it tkaes off. JMO | |

Posted: 7/8/2009 12:17:33 AM | I noticed that a couple of women used the example of woman as the sole breadwinner who has a mate who stays home and cares for the house and children, but this OP is not suggesting that. He appears to desire to remain free to follow his artistic muse while a woman -- or someone -- supports him entirely.
Apples and oranges there. One is an equal partnership where each contributes their share and the other is...well...parasitic. | |

Posted: 7/8/2009 7:02:54 AM | i refuse to be a sole money maker. i talk with my bf about this, that if some awesome opportunity came up, and i made sooooo much money that he wouldn't have to work, i would still ask him to take-up a random part time job, just to remind him that money doesnt just "grow on trees". i guess i'm too old fashioned that i'm not used to the guy *not* making money.
with that, no, i will not support you. i'm a photographer, my bf makes enough funds to support me, but i don't ask him.....therefore i expect equal independance from the guy.........but hey, if you can catch a sucker here.....then kudos to you! its definitely worth a try........just in case, right? =p | |
