I am a 50-year-old male who has worked every day since I was 18. I put myself through college, worked hard at every job and was fairly successful. I made enough so my wife would not have to work while raising our daughter. I am grateful I did not have a son so I would not have to tell him this. I would not ask him to sign up for the same life I have done.
My wife is a wonderful person and the greatest at everything, but intimacy. It is so "NORMAL" that a woman shows great affection and attention until they have children and then well, I'm only useful because I work and bring in the money. Young men basically are no longer stupid and my daughter will have a hard time finding someone who fits the criteria of her dad. But mostly I don't blame the young men - why would you sign up for all this hard work of raising a family when as a general rule you can't even put your hand on your wife's leg without her saying "it's too hot".
Good luck on the people who do have sons to raise.
John
