Women and Money Options

[macavely]

yes I'm at work thinking again ...

well here is what is on my mind at the moment ..

Is it easier for women to make money then it is for a man ? Or should i say are there more ways for women to make money then men? I know if a women an man hold the same job 9 out of 10 times the man will be pulling in more a week then the women does. But when i go places i see more women working then men. women can also use their bodies more to make a buck then a man does.

I'm not making this thread to say whats right or wrong , but more to get ya'll thoughts on this subject
do you think this is true or totall BS ?

This is out of my current situation, and may not apply to everyone.

But I make a sh-t ton more than my fiance. I've noticed that he just "settles" for a job.. a job that is easy and doesn't require much work. And is basically a dead end job.

I, on the other hand, do not settle. When I was looking for a job, I applied to like 10, went on 5 interviews, got the job on all the interviews.. found out which paid more, and went to that job. I seem to be a lot more dedicated than him. Actually, I'm probably more dedicated (to a job) than all of the men I have been in a relationship with.

I also noticed that men spend more money on unpractical things (such as their car, no I'm not saying it's a 'bad' thing), while women spend money on more practical things such as groceries (haha, in my case), etc.

Yeah I have a friend thats like that. Hes going to school for multimedia, but hes been working at a forklift company and hurt his shoulder, so hes been out on workers comp for like 3 months. He knows he has to get out of physical labor sooner or later...think he looked for a job in his 3 months w/o a job...f no haha. And he rips on me for making almost twice what he makes (3X more when hes on workmans comp) and being able to chat online at work

Haha try going on a trip to the dept store with my g/f and I twice a month and folllow us to the purses, juniors...etc and then try telling me women spend money on more practical things
