I don’t want to work. I want to cuck the patriarchy and make it pay for my lifestyle.

not quite... obviously ambition isn't the *only* factor correlated with income (always more complex), but there's a sufficient body of research demonstrating there *is* a correlation:

dunn (2006) found men with high "work drive: earn ~30% on average

judge (2012) found ambitious men more likely to achieve higher salaries over their careers and work longer hours (also correlated with higher salaries)

mckinsey (2018) found ambitious men ~2x likely to reach exec positions

ng (2019) found ambition + relationship-building strongest predictor of income

plus business school research shows males who self-report high ambition earn 15 - 30% more a decade out

You can be highly ambitious and not make money Ted. I got family foin social work changing the world on a dime.. but this is a rhetorical statement.

careful not to get stuck once i pass u up tho

nailed it. 

ofc I would marry the person I fell in love with if they happened to make less money than me!!

Yeah, that’s a weird way to ask that question too. 

It’s not like she asked, “If the person you fell in love with happened to make less money than you, would you refuse to marry them?”

She asked, “Do you want to marry someone who makes less money than you?… uhh, I don’t think anybody should “want” that. 🤔

1. woman gets asked a question. 
2. woman answers question honestly. 
3. asker of question rejects woman’s opinion immediately

sounds like… 🤔

Wait fight the patriarchy means rich sugar moms? They need to work on their marketing. Turns out I love ambition too.

the issue starts when you flip the genders

you should have said you identified as a man

Ted, you're making a lot of people sad right now lol

i would want a husband not a son you know what i mean 💀

I never get these questions. It’s like the type of questions children usually ask. I mean wtf. Do you choose the one you love or the one who loves you? etc.
As if life is that simple! As if there is a simple answer to a question with so many parameters involved.
