It’s ok for women to earn more than men!
A recent survey has indicated that as many as 10 million British women have taken over the bread-winning duties from their male partners. Women have been rightfully finding their place on an equal footing to men over the past 10 years, and although there is still clearly an indication that men earn more than women on average, the gap is closing fast.
The research flagged up that at least half of the surveyed women would be happy to be the sole bread winner in the relationship, and nine out of 10 said they valued love and happiness over money in the dating game and relationships.
The research, which was sponsored by the bank First Direct, found that almost half the female population would be content to go out with men who earn considerably less then them. However, the survey also showed that 13 per cent of men felt intimidated, embarrassed or insecure dating someone who earned more than them, compared with 3 per cent of women.
Support for the findings came from users among the 45,000 women signed up to the dating website MySingleFriend.com, which is owned by the television presenter Sarah Beeny: the administrators report that the highest demand is for tall, funny men; earnings barely figure!
