What is not attractive about a good looking, cultured, religious, educated, high earning woman?

As long as she's not arrogant about it.

There are very few Somali women who would fit into category 3 for me, so I would be at the very least intrigued

doesn't make a difference. She makes more money = I will be her accountant. She is more educated = she is open to all kinda bedroom bullying tactics. Like my adeer Lamagodle used to say God has given me more Nimca on top of Nimca :blessed: :eat:

You gotta be kinda insecure if it makes you feel small.

I would advise younger women who want to marry and have children at some point in the future to do this first.

Get marriage and children ticked early, then focus on your career afterwards.

Because even though I would not mind if my wife becomes successful, I and most men are not attracted by power and money like women are.

We are attracted by beauty, youth and fertility.

Oh well

Apparently the way to make a marriage work if the woman earns more is for the husband to do the laundry

I think white guys make this a big deal. They are talking about millionaire women. I never seen a Somali man divorce his wife for making more money. Every Somali man that I know in this situation is proud if their wife is a nurse, teacher, doctor, gov't professional etc. A good job is just a good job. Their husband still work and try to hustle. But...... I never met a Somali women that was a millionaire besides Iman, but I can see why it is hard to be married to a millionaire, either a man or a woman. They have big egos.

Why? Jacaylkeena ka wayn, no? :lol:

Correct :up: No woman wants a burden. Suga mammas being the exception

True.

Positive thinking. Good.

You can opt to stay as breadwinner like advo and not take her money. Act like it doesn't exist :mrgreen:

I agree. May you find your category 3.

It's socio-economic status. The greater the status disparity the greater the difficulty. Think it's about trying to find traits you can appreciate in your partner besides the material.

That's an appealing trade-off. And ironing.
