| As the title states, do you feel inferior when someone of the opposite sex does better then you in something meant for blokes... without sounding sexist(or stereotypical), I've always been brought up where the man is the bread earner in the family so it was a bit of a letdown for me when I found out my partner earns double in a week to what I make in a month...now mind that I do study part-time opposed to her working full-time but it does make me feel like the skirt in the relationship when she mostly pays for everything... anyways curious to see if any other guys out there feel the same when their partner or girlfriends does better then them... as for girls, are you the competitive type and always wanting to better your other half/or friend |
| Nope I'm all for being a lazy bastard supported by a sugar mama |
| It doesn't think, it doesn't feel, it doesn't laugh or cry..... All it does from dusk till dawn is make the soldiers die. |
| Nope, not at all. I'm the total opposite of that. I feel very happy that there are many strong/intelligent women out there. And I hate sexism with all my might. Keep it up ladies! |
| lol nope dont care. i would offer to pay even if she did make more than me - its a habit thing. cant help it. but i always have made more than my girlfriends so far. |

| I'm only ever competitive in games. Not when it comes to earning money and whatnot. I do make more than my boyfriend but that's partly because, like you, he's going to school while I work full-time. But even with things like driving I'm always the one to drive and he rides shotgun. I've asked him and he doesn't feel awkward about it. It's just the way it happens to be. |
| I'm not the competitive type and I don't care who's better between us. Just as long as my other half is not a wimp, I'm cool. |
 |
| I am upset whenever anyone does anything better than me, regardless of gender. |
 |
| Not at all, i don't think we're in that Day and Age any more |
  |
| No one does anything better than me. |

| No, not at all. Regardless of gender, I'd just be proud that there's someone just as good as me, luls. |

 |
| No. Not at all. |
| No. I don't even think about it. |
| It's still kind of weird to have a girlfriend taller than you. I'm guessing girls feel the same way about boyfriends shorter than they are. Damn these traditional views. D: |
| i used to be mad because girls gets higher grades waaaaaaaaaaaaay easier than guys why? because teachers are like sure you can get an A but when it comes to guys we have to work like hell and get a C or b. but now im working and i found out we make 20% more money than females <3 does not matter how good their grades are i still make more then them :D. |

Basically this. Pretty much all gender roles or traditonal gender values are just not relevant anymore (emasculation, masculinity, etc.). |

| I don't feel "emasculated" often enough. I'm more masculine than I'd care to be and I don't view masculinity as a positive or negative thing. I like masculine women and feminine men and take no pride in masculinity myself. I'm only as masculine as I am because I'm too lazy to bend gender and make a statement all the time. And then saying "as the title says", equating effeminate with inferior is ridiculous. If anything, when I look at those Visual Kei magazines I feel insecure that I could never pull something like that off as well as them. Feeling inferior at masculine women? If anything, my whole user has been often criticized as Androgyny Fascism. A woman who wants me to be a bread-earner is undateable to me. The same as you? Our feelings are completely the OPPOSITE. A major purpose in my life is subverting the idea that something is "made for blokes" and "made for ladies". Emasculation, inferior. Manliness, Manliness, Manliness! I am so sick of manliness! |
 Old avatar and sig retired for now. |
| Well it depends, if she's a normal looking girl and not some freak of nature and yet she can open jars and carry heavy staff better than me then i will feel a little of an ass, not that i will go crazy about it or anything . Any other thing there is no reason to feel anything at all. There are jobs considered manly that really isn't any reason why a woman can't do as good of a job. Like driving a track for example. But in general am a relax guy about this shit so i don't give much of a damn. |
| It's even more for me, with my cultural background (Hispanic), my ancestors beat their wives into submission and they were not allowed to do untraditional things. Either way, that was generations ago, things have changed and people have changed. But, I can't answer the question since I've never been married, it's not the same if my girlfriend earns more, we don't live together.... |
| If A girl does something better than me, it most likely turns me on. LOL if you are feeling emasculated because of it then you have to be real insecure. |
 |
| If I had a girlfriend, and I was outside of school in a job. I'd want to be the one providing for her, not vice versa. I'd want to be the one she can lean on, not me lean on her. I guess I'm just one of those old fashion males aye? ._. However, I couldn't care less if a female friend of mine were to be earning more than be, she probably would deserve more than me - probably would be a heap smarter LOL. But yeah, for some reason a girlfriend would be different... |
| ^well if it was vice versa, you wouldn't have a girlfriend for long. |
|
| Why would I? |
 |
| I hated earning more than my husband. I wanted him to be the "breadwinner." But now he is. So it's all good :D Also, would like to throw in that it had nothing to do with gender roles. I wanted to be able to work part-time so that I could make art. |
| I would. At least sometimes. |
 |
| No they work harder then me THE LAZY MAN WAY |
 |
| No because all the women i have ever met can't do anything better than me. Well except complain about trivial shit. Why must i have no competition? Life is so dull sometimes. |
| Who cares if a girl is better than me at sports. At least I know more about Star Trek than she does. *does the vulcan greeting sign* |
   |
| No I don't and I hate when they make a big deal out of it like, ha you got beat by a girl.. so fecking what? doesn't mean more if it was a girl than it does if it was a boy. |
   Sig by Me! |
| No, because if I admit it they win |

| If you get hurt by something like that you actually show weakness.So no. |

| Nah, I'm happy for them. They finally did something better than me. |

| I hate when people are better than me at things that I don't completely suck at regardless of gender, so I'd prefer if guys (and girls) didn't do as well as me in those things. Though, I wouldn't make a big deal out of it if they did. I'd just have to try harder. Though, when it comes to being the "man" in the relationship, I'd much prefer that role. |
| If we're going by the other party then nope, they're the ones complaining about me. And I suppose with me being the younger one, they must feel it even more. Of course, my good prospects come with some limitations too, like restlessness of the mind - but that's a minor price to pay to strive forward. |
| nope couldn't give a rats ass , chances are if they earn more than you theres a good chance the deserve it so be happy for em |

| I'm thoroughly inspired by people that do better than me; gender isn't part of the equation. |

| .........what's an opposite sex? I don't think it really matters. I'm willing to learn something from everyone. Cutting off experience is usually the one-way ticket to ruin. |
 |
| I don't care, every girl in my class owns me when it comes to football and basketball and stuff like that xD I'm only good when it comes to running or things like push-ups... |
