I was watching sex and the city last nite, and i ended up watching the episode where Miranda and Steve were preparing to go to her firms company party. Here's a little background on the two of them, Miranda is a successful lawyer who loves the finer things in life, Steve is a bartender whose income is based on tips. They come from totally different backgrounds as well, Miranda has an ivy league education and Steve attended bartending school. So as the episode goes on Miranda learns that Steve doesn't have a suit. So she ends up taking him to a store with the desire to purchase him one. A gift to him, Love Miranda. The total ends up being $2,200. Of course Steve cannot afford it, his credit cards are being declined, he doesn't have enough cash, and although Miranda is ready and willing to pay, he will not let her. He ends up paying with three different forms of money...and ends up returning the suit days later.
The day of the firms dinner, Steve shows up to Miranda's apartment and breaks up with her. He say's because he cannot give her what she deserves, and because he's out of her league.
Is this socially OK? Why is it that men are imtimidated by women who can hold thier own? There are several men who wont date a woman who makes more money than them, are these pride issues? imtimidation? or are guys just embarrassed? I know that years ago the man was designed to take care of home and the woman to cook and clean? But why have the tables turned and its not acceptable?
Understand, everybody is out to get theirs. Everybody want's to be on top. Man or Woman. But for money and job issues to come in between what is supposed to be a loving relationship is so out of line. Guys, trust me, if she didn't love you for you, there wouldn't have been a third and fourth date. Time would not have been invested. Not to say ladies deliberately go looking for a deadbeat, and just because you don't make as much as her does not make you that. It just makes her successful. And for that you should be proud, not embarrassed. She should be your motivation to excel. And women should not feel badgered, or "out of place" because they make more than a man. Its a maturity thing, and a social thing. Are our social classes in life enough to come in between love?
