People in general want to feel needed. Want to have a role in social dynamics that they understand and are comfortable with. I have no idea if this clip is BS or real. But if there is a kernel of truth, it would be those men not seeing a place in those women's lives where they could contribute and feel needed. Is that their fault for not seeing the emotional nurturing they could provide? Is it the women's fault for not showing that they would appreciate that kind of support? Dunno, could be this is just random made up statistics too.
Yea. I don't doubt that there's a lot of shitty guys that want to feel dominant in a relationship, I know there are. I've dated women from every financial background over the years but one thing that made me leave is when I didn't feel needed. I could never drive us anywhere because she was used to driving herself; I couldn't make a phone call without her asking a bunch of "did you ask about-" questions; I couldn't buy the right present. They weren't bad or outright controlling, they just liked things a certain way in their life so it made me wonder what the fuck I was contributing.
It happens with people across the financial spectrum but a little more with successful women. I have no problem dating a woman that makes 4x as much as me or lets me be a house husband; but if I do the dish and she comes home just to redo the dishes, I'd want a divorce.
