Is she and her lifestyle above your pay-grade?

Can I ride your back for a change?

You like her.... but she is better educated than you are, and her career has taken off...
So how to does a guy catch up.. these days?

"Honey, Look at what I have prepared for you to enjoy  
after you've had a long day in the corporate world!"

While some guys  did have an education (maybe 2 years of college or even a B.A. degree)
 that could have  gotten him hired.... doing something in the cooperate World....
he might be still lagging behind the lady he admires and really wants to have a life with.

Unlike years ago, when many guys would occupy the jobs, and may even get opportunities
 to occupy the corner offices.... times have changed for many who just don't have the skill-sets and the experiences
 many employers are seeking, while women are now bringing home the bacon.
 Guys are struggling to make it. what's a modern day guy to do in order to step up to his full potential....?
 Maybe becoming an entrepreneur might be the answer, but that takes raising capitol....not easy!
In the meantime 

- she wants to go on vacations to far away places that his pocket can not  afford...

- dine at great expensive restaurants...

- drive a nice luxury car.....

- live in a high-rise condo. with a view....

These things are causing young professional guys to SDH and think to themselves "so not in the cards." 

Are we staying in again this weekend?

The following tells the statistical story:

For the first time since the Census Bureau began collecting data on higher education attainment,

women are more likely to have  bachelor's degree than men. 

Last year, 29.9% of men had a bachelor's degree, while 30.2% of women did, the bureau reports. 

A decade prior, in 2005, 28.5% of men had bachelor's degrees, while only 26% of women did.

Young women are driving the change. In the 25034 age group, 37.5% of women have a bachelor's degree or higher, 

while only 29.5% of men do. (rates of college attainment for men  and women in this age group are increasing roughly.)

 equally.) But for the over 65- crowd, only 20.3% of women have such degrees, compared to 30.6% of men
