Dwight, I don't fault you for having a successful wife. That's great -- something to be proud of.
But don't frolic around in this armored coat of masculinity when she obviously calls the shot, she's in charge, she pays more of the bills, and "daddy" buys you things, etc. It's inconsistent with the image you present of yourself. |
|
After acknowledging that he was desperate, Dwight said "people will resort to saying things they know aren't true when they are desperate." That about sums it up! |

| I make six figure myself. I bench 325. I run 7 minute miles. If i were not with her I would be broken hearted but would land on my feet. Reality is, we will be together until the end. I wish you all the same. |

| Why do I have a feeling Dman's "six figures" includes numbers after the decimal point? It'd be consistent with his "I'm successful because I have a $45K deck", when daddy bought it. |

Also, I am not trying to slam you. I am pointing out an obvious contradiction that vranged has brought up and I've noticed myself.
Let's run through the facts and feel free to challenge which of these are factually incorrect:
- You moved to the east coast for your wifes job.
- Your wife makes more than you.
- Your Father-in-law "gifted" you $45k.
- You bragged for weeks on end, thread after thread, about this deck of yours as if it was a measurement of your self-worth.
- You historically brag from this manly perspective of facing of with people in real life, constantly brag about.
It's ironically, comically a contrasting position when you look at the facts. It would appear to those of us on the outside that perhaps your wife wears the pants, makes the cash and calls the shots and that this is an outlet for you. |

I cannot wait for the delusional response Dman's damaged brain will concoct in response to the above. When faced with facts, Dwight usually goes to the "you don't count" card. Or, the "I can bench press...." card. It'll be interesting to see what convoluted, non-responsive, unrealistic answer he'll think up now.
DFraud is, as Dennis Green would say, exactly who I thought he was.
The Harlem Globetrotters (me) beat the Washington Generals (Dwight) once again. |

Oh, and to answer your question, my wife is a BSN. She works 6 days a month, gets full time benefits pulling in roughly $50k/year and stays at home with our 3 kids (soon to be 4) where she works from her main office being a mom.
She doesn't need to work, but it's an outlet for her and it keeps her up on nursing, and in touch with long time colleagues, which she enjoys. When the kids are in school, and she has more time on her hands in the future, she has an open door to become a pharmacuetical rep.
Right now, however, she is doing what's important which is being a mom. And she's doing a great job...our oldest daughter will be starting kindergarten in 2008 and is already reading at a 1st grade level and by then will easily be at 2nd or 3rd grade level. So watch out...in very short time she'll be ready to start in on you here! 
What is you do again? In all the boasting you've done here about making six figures I've yet to here any formal title or job description.  |

Once again - presumptuous but I see your logic. My response is, I'm okay with that. I would encourage all of you to aspire to a brilliantly wise, sexy, money magnet for a wife. Not everyone can dream that large. Are you boys jealous? I have a friend in Omaha, his wife is a surgeon. He fishes, takes care of kids and basically does what he wants. He also has a master's and could do other things, but, what the hell he doesn't have to. It's a damn fine position to be in.
Additionally, I'd bet handsome sum that all of you alpha males that come here and beat your chest on this board and hoot n' holler and rant n' rave, ala Vranged are doing things vastly different in your homes. In my house, we are 50/50. No iron fists here. A reality show in your house IMAGE or Vranged's I'm sure would create a whole separate image (no pun intended) of all of you he men. Besides, if my wife wants to be alpha, I'll be beta and wear it well. Copy and paste that one for a sig line. |

BSN? These days they'll let BSN folks teach they are so desperate for clinical instructors. My wife was a MSN and MPH a long time ago and has moved on from there. I have a MSW. (Social Work) I have worked in agencies, for the government, and most recently in child welfare. Not much pay and very distressing work. 14 years ago in Omaha I was a contractor dealing with various types of home improvement and commercial construction. I started out doing alot of the work myself (family background) and then eventually hired several guys and work built itself up from there. The mid nineties (coincidently when the skers were up also) construction and real estate was booming and I was busier than ever and bought a few homes and rented for awhile.
Today I consult aspiring entreprenuers and do limited contracting of small jobs in the Baltimore area. Mostly just subbing that I in turn subout. While in Omaha before we left I sold building materials and made a solid living doing that for 3 years. Eventually, I plan to enter back in to my chosen field in some capacity and possibly pursue my doctoral. I hate writing papers or dissertations. However, there are routes to take that take me higher without the writing. What exactly does Vranged and his wife do?

You just acknowledged you're a beta, but paint yourself as an alpha.
What you fail to realize is that you're at best an omicron, but most likely in the zeta range. What are lobotomized chimpanzees? Whatever that is, is what you are. |

Atttempting to increase you vocabulary in mid-post isn't appealing. Who won the World Series game last nite?
And what do you do for a living and what does your wife do? |

| Logged on and thought I might find some interesting conversations. Sounds more like people that are depressed, devorced, battered, homeless and all they have left is a laptop etc.... If any of you need a job I have plenty of honey to haul on the farm. P.S. honey on the farm is not sweet. |

I didn't say you were in a bad position. Can you point to me where I eluded to that?
All I am saying is...it's ironically comical to see you contrasting your real life situation with how you hold yourself up here.

Well, first, let me state that what pushed me over the edge with you, personally, was your spineless act of welching on the bet with vranged. Especially when you beat your chest about money as though it's water to you.
This isn't a cheap shot, message board comment...I am just stating fact. You lost virtually all credit with me at that point.
Secondly, there isn't a soul on this board that comes a close second to you in posting in an alpha male manner.
Lastly, myself nor anyone else has said anything or eluded to any kind of barbaric, iron-fisted, alpha male position in their relationships.
All I stated, personally, was that I am the primary breadwinner and my wife is a stay at home mom. I know it's hard for you to fathom that I can treat her well and have a good marriage without being some sort of egocentric control freak, but that's where we're at and we're quite happy.
And there is no need for you to try to slam my wife by comparing her to yours. My wife is a stay at home mom that loves, teaches and raises our children. I know you don't see any value in that, but I do.
Quite the manly position to come back and try and trash my wife by comparing her to yours. |

My wife is a pharmaceutical rep. I'm part-owner of a medical recruiting business and two restaurants (one of which is hemorrhaging right now). Since the age of 24, I've bought and sold 4 businesses -- 2 of which resulted in a nice return, 1 of which resulted in a slight loss (lesson learned), and 1 of which resulted in pretty much a windfall, that has made life very easy for me. Right place, right time. Always looking for other opportunities. In fact, I'm in the midst of becoming a primary investor in a software company out of Santa Barbara that works exclusively with Eastern Asian corporations (in China, Japan, Taiwan, etc). They have a unique product that I see will have a lot of demand in the global economy. Regrettably and admittedly, I don't know much about computers. But I hired people in the know to evaluate the company. Plus, a friend from college is one of the current owners, and he's the smartest guy I've ever known, so I like the chances of success. I'm hoping this is the deal that allows me to retire by 40. The last thing I want is to have my wife support me, or rely on daddy to buy me things. I'd jump off a bridge if that ever happened. How do you do it, Dwight?
So, I'm the man in our relationship. Jealous, aren't you, cyber alpha male? |

Slow your roll there breadwinner...I thought you were being presumptuous I did not take a shot at your wife. There was no comparison made, I was merely pointing out that here on the east coast they need nursing instructors badly and are letting nurses that don't have masters degrees teach, that's all, and I only made mention of my wifes degrees directly after that because I found it interesting that they (our wives) were in the same fields. I don't compare my wife to anybody because in the world of academia - she has no equal. I apologize if you feel that way...talk about being thin skinned, what would you say if Logan told you he had her?

I was impressed until you beat your chest in typical Vranged style. Jealous? No. I mean really....I couldn't be jealous of any man. I've been blessed throughout my time and see that you have been also. I wish you well in your endeavors. |

You're not saying you don't beat your chest on here, are you Dwight? Because that's kind of the point of egami and I's questioning of the alpha male show you put on.
Regardless, thanks for the well-wishes. I hope Daddy buys you a gazebo to put next to your deck. |
