time was in lagos when the banking industry was dominated by men. now, the gap between women and men in this industry in lagos is thin and gets thinner. as the gap is narrowed, it seems the women who work there, who now wield higher financial power, seem more reluctant for commitment. it would be unfair but that is what i have observed.

I think that there are a lot of women in the modern day world who are starting a completely different trend than the women who might have lived in the past. Now that more women than ever get full time jobs and this means that they don't have to rely on their partners in the same way as they would have done in the past. Certainly more women are choosing to follow their careers rather than having children, and this means that they don't have the same level of commitment to their partners as they would have done if they had chosen to have a child.

is this an evolutionary problem? that is what i wonder sometimes. with climate change and alzheimer's all over the place, and mankind having to battle new and different kinds of diseases and social problems, not minding what problems we might have brought from the moon and mars after shuttle endeavour and other space crafts, you do think this trend will be long lasting and what does it portend? will men have to start acquiring wombs or start adapting to substituting the women for some bots so we can count on someone somewhere to continue the human race? that is what prompted this discussion or thread in the first place.
nice working week.
i wish i could pm you for a response. wish some mylot staff could make this possible.

Partly yes, women are reluctant for commitment when they are more financially stable than men. It can be a little harsh to say it but that is the truth. Women now a days decide wisely for security reasons and practical reasons. Most women (if not all) believe that they can compete with men if given a chance. Today's generations are fighters, dreamers and achievers. Plus point for them being naturally committed either in a relation or in work.

they are then fighting against their natural instinct. i wonder if those women would wish God gave man a womb; no pun intended. If they continue like this, they will end up without getting married or marrying at an old age and then, what use is the womb of a woman.
i don't doubt today's woman being a fighter and an achiever...it is everywhere. But the problem is...at what point should they decide to stop competing and listen to their inner natural inclination to procreate, or to continue the human race by preparing for marriage and childbirth, which implies, being submissive to a man in the house.

i think it is not because women of financial power and success are reluctant for commitment, they are simply preoccupied by their careers which take so much of their time and attention. they are not entertaining any advances from men. plus men tend to get overwhelmed by the strong personalities of these women.

i think men are overwhelmed sometimes. they are reluctant to make the move and the approach which these women need. but how would a man feel if he approaches a multimillionaire at 40 who has climbed the ladder and has seen it all, has all it takes in the world: good houses, cars, a big bank account, but no love and no partner. it is really scaring for most men.
sometimes, though, that is not the issue. these women are not just interested. i think they have lost the woman in them for money or fame. maybe. thanks anyway.

It's getting more common in some places on earth-women having higher pay.In my area, the men become 'housebands' and the women become the breadwinner but both share the same responsibility. Regardless of the financial status of the men, financially abled women see no difference. It's a fair world.

thanks for the response. i used to know of a couple where the husband was the "houseband" and he didn't think anything was odd about his doing so. the vexing issue in their relationship though was that for many years they had no kids. it was unfair for the man. maybe it was a decision reached by both persons. i really can't say.
happy sunday
