At my school there are a lot of really beautiful women who come from upper-middle and upper class families. They are often sorority girls, and in general, they attain abysmal grades in majors of questionable value for future employment (e.g., communications [no offense comm majors 🙂 ]), and they spend their time partying, traveling, socializing, etc
Most/many of these girls expect that they will marry a husband who will allow them to continue their social lifestyle (i.e., not work).
There is one girl I know like this whom I could picture myself conceivably marrying one day. She fits the above profile; beautiful, bright, sorority socialite who gets mediocre grades and puts forth mediocre effort in school.
I on the other hand spend an enormous amount of time working hard to achieve extremely high grades and am very involved in my school community et al, and am likely to be fortunate enough to gain entry into a top 5 school in my (likely) future professional field.
Now, I am not doing this work for girls, I could date many more girls if I chose to spend more time partying; I date less than I otherwise would be able to because I spend a great deal of time on school and related work because I really want to study at these schools and I have certain "dreams" or goals I want to achieve after graduation.
Trophy wife, professional wife, no wife, I would still puruse the same goals, so it's important to keep in mind the fact that she isn't "forcing" me or anything of that nature.
Anyway, I'm curious as to what all of you think about this circumstance.
There is a side of me who would love to come home after a day of hard and successful work to a beautiful, bright and happy girl who has spent the day doing what she seems to do best (I have to admit, she is a fantastic socializer) who can provide a pleasant and fun counterpart to an intense workday.
And there is another side of me (or perspective) which carries a kind of resentment at the idea of someone lazying their way through college, marrying, and then sitting at home shopping and doing other things while her husband is at work. [note, I'm not super concerned about cheating, that's another matter].
What do you think?
