Who is the head of the household? The smart one or the happy one?
What tops the list - stability or happiness? Maybe both are needed and it’s equal.

My ideal family is patriarchal, but modern society is pushing matriarchy hard.
It’s like I am more comfortable in the company of women but I know I need men.
Well, I am more likely to act confused around a man.
I don’t believe in any other difference between the sexes other than physical and hormonal ones.

My post was information from the John Tesh radio program. I study came to that conclusion.
And men are from mars and women are from venus.
Didn’t know how we all arrived on earth but now I know. No need to explore space further.
@zeno needs to read that book.
Some women are single mothers and heads of their own families.
I studied anthropology and in some cultures, the mothers are heads of the families.

Yes. I’ve heard of that. Can you name those cultures? That’s ok, I can Google it.
Glad someone here is sensible.
I started repsonding beforehand and just got angry in doing so.

It should be a partnership. They should both lead. If I had to choose I’d choose smarter.

Generalizations about men and women are a dying thing. There’s just too many exceptions to the rules to support the stereotypes. Women are more nurturing, for example, betrays the possibility of a bread winning woman and a stay at home Dad.

Search for matriarchal cultures and you’ll be able to come up with hundreds. The nearest traditionally matriarchal culture around you are probably the tribes in the former Haudesonanee confederacy.
I decisively agreed with the flag on your post.

i am a flem projecting googly eyed alien… where do i fit in?
There is no framework that is bulletproof so find what works for you.
I think I’ll have to be a stay at home parent if I ever find a wife, and thats simply because the circumstance I find myself to be in.
If I could find a way to make a living without absolute misery and failure maybe I could try for other models but I don’t really care as long as I have a loving relationship and stability. If I end up homeless I don’t think there are homeless shelters where I live.

I know a couple of women who have had it all - family, kids, a stellar career. One is perfectly happy, but the other’s husband was a drunk, and they went through a bitter divorce.
