Transcript
- 0:00It is a popular topic these days. You
- 0:02don't want a man who wants 50 -50, you want a man who
- 0:05has a provider mindset, traditional male -female
- 0:08roles, and I get all of that. But
- 0:11be careful what you wish for. So
- 0:13let's talk about it. As a professional matchmaker
- 0:15for 16 years, I have learned so much and I
- 0:22think it's so easy to pick up these words and phrases
- 0:26and even ideas from social media, okay? And
- 0:30there, but there's a lot more that you need to know
- 0:33if you want to toss out those things, okay? Like
- 0:36I want a man who's a provider, traditional male
- 0:38-female role. You have to really be careful
- 0:41because here's what's gonna happen. First
- 0:44of all, God forbid anything goes south and the
- 0:46relationship goes sour. But you do have to prepare for
- 0:50the worst, right? Because you're a smart cookie. You
- 0:53don't want to go in just wanting him to pay for
- 0:56everything and you being, you know, his lady who
- 1:00keeps the house and all the money is his and he
- 1:04controls the money. You don't ever want to do
- 1:08that. That's not a good move. I
- 1:10know a lot of ladies who end up in really bad
- 1:12marriages down the road, down the road when things
- 1:16take a turn and they don't even have the money to
- 1:18leave him, not even to leave him, much less
- 1:21divorce him. They can't even leave because
- 1:24they don't really work. They
- 1:26can't get a job that would pay any kind of amount of
- 1:28money for them to have the money for a deposit on a
- 1:31place or moving fees, etc. I
- 1:35know these women. I know it's real and guess
- 1:39what they have to do? Put up with this shit. They
- 1:42have to stay while secretly being very, very unhappy,
- 1:46trying to plot something so that they could make their
- 1:49escape, but they just can't. They
- 1:51just can't. So be careful when you get
- 1:54into these relationships where he makes all the
- 1:56money and he controls the money and you're just, you
- 2:02know, on his payroll in that sense. Okay?
- 2:05You're his wife. You're his, you know, long -term
- 2:08partner, but you just always, I think the smarter
- 2:11move is to always have something going on for
- 2:13yourselves. It makes you more interesting
- 2:15as a person. It makes you sexier. It
- 2:19makes you more of a challenge and let's face
- 2:22it, men are hunters. They do like a challenge and if
- 2:25you've got nothing going on and all of your whole life
- 2:30revolves around him or your kids and that's good too,
- 2:34but you've got to have something going on more
- 2:35than that just to keep the relationship exciting, to
- 2:38keep you on the cutting edge of what's going on in
- 2:41the world, knowing what's up outside your home, and
- 2:45then having some money for yourself. Okay?
- 2:48That's the smartest move. I hope it helps.
