| If you are currently in a relationship, who would you say wears the pants? Or is it totally equal? |

| It's usually me, although I have been known to venture out in a skirt...but that's another topic. Seriously though...I take the lead on wasting money, and my good lady is the boss of messing up the house. |

| It's more often me than her, though I don't have a problem with following instead of leading every so often. It's all a matter of balance |

Neither of us.  |

I'm not sure. I'll have to ask him. Maybe he knows.  |

| From 22 years of experience, this is an axiomatic truth that every male should learn early.... "When Mama ain't happy, nobody is happy". |

I'm glad you noticed that, Bruce. The sooner you guys learn that, the better.  Skirting the issue, Reach |

| I think I do, but I'll have to ask my girlfriend. |

| I'm not in a relationship at this point, but I know that I tend to be the permissive and diplomatic type when I'm in love. I'll, more often than not, let my guy have his way to avoid getting into a power struggle. |

I hate skirts and he's not into cross-dressing, so I think its safe to say we both do.  |

True... Well, barring the occasional trips to the clothing-optional beach... -Lokmer |

| I wear the pants, but I let him think he does Ah, the simplicity of the male mind when in love.... |

My wife has the final say. (But I have the final "do"!)  |

| Money...me Final decisions on vacations and other activities...him I guess we are in the equal category. |

Ok, he might wear the pants more often, but I keep him covered and clean... well, sorta. |

| I like strong women that are assertive and good with money. Now I am not saying I need to be bossed around, well, just curtailed or smacked up occasionally when I get out of line. |

| When it comes to money matters, I'm the one in charge. (mainly because my other half has the mathematical ability of a stunned slug that's been drinking to excess...) In everything else, we're equal partners in this marriage.  |
| Posted by: quicksand Mar 9 2005, 10:41 AM | ||
That's awesome. I'd like to find a date like for the rest of my life too. (Except she does the funds and the bills. I hands the check over.) |
| Posted by: Bruce Mar 9 2005, 11:47 AM | ||
CT, You only think you are equal, because that is what she wants you to think. It becomes a bit less subtle when the kids arrive......You may laugh or deny it, but like the rest of us, one day the truth will hit you like a mack truck... |

| Sometimes I wear the pants, sometimes he does. It seems to go back and forth. Currently, he's wearing them.  |

Sometimes, the truth sounds a bit crude; doesn't it? |

| "Vaginaless" relationships like mine work a little differently. We both have different interests that seem have us take control of things at different times. My partner loves to travel (especially to places that don't speak English) and I find vacations more stressful than relaxing. I feel anxious anytime I am somewhere I can't read the signs. So when we are on vacation I let him take care of just about everything. Money is another story. My partner would have our house filled with crap and our bank account at zero if I let him handle our money. He recognizes his weakness in dealing with money and so I carry great influence on big ticket items. Most of the time though we think so much alike that decisions are shared. It has worked out well for nearly seven years now. I know we have had disagreements, but I don't recall that we have ever raised our voices in anger at each other. |

I must disagree. I've ended relationships with two vagina bearers in the last half year and didn't feel either had the power or right to boss me around. I'm all for equality, as long as I have the upper hand. |
