The phrase "trophy wife" has taken on a new modern meaning. Men are now finding the most attractive and sexually desirable women are not actually dumb beauties whose sole function is to stay pretty and numb, but women who are making good money and also are in powerful positons. The woman who got ahead on her looks by marrying a “sugar daddy” is now being replaced by the woman who is equal to her man in earning power and career position. That’s sexy.

What we are now seeing now is the end of the "trophy wife" and welcoming the rise of the "power couple"

Any really strong man wants a woman who is equal to him, that is the truth of it now. A weak man wants someone that is docile and a servant to him — it is a real sign of insecurity in a man to want a dumb trophy wife. Wives can be beautiful, intelligent and have careers and opinions just as strong as their partners.

When Mark Zuckerberg married his college sweetheart, Priscilla Chan, he married a woman who isn’t only eye candy; she’s a medical school graduate with eyes on a career who clearly demonstrates the new parity among married couples.

The days of a well-off older man who has a brainless beauty on his arm at social functions seems to be dying now. Educated, intelligent women are the ones most sought-after by men of the same caliber. Brains are the new beauty.

There may be a historic social change occurring here. Men’s attraction to professionally achieving women is one piece of a much larger story as to what people in the 21st century want in a partner. Men in their 20s and 30s in relationships with strong and high-salaried women are relieved that they no longer have to be the sole breadwinner and decision-maker. With her own high-paying career, the new trophy wife is highly educated, self-assured and able to hold her own financially. She’s also not afraid to intimidate any male that has antiquated ideas of gender roles.

Call it the rise of the alpha woman or simply the beginning of a new era in relationships, the new trophy wife is a woman who succeeds on her own and can hold her own in the boardroom as well as the bedroom. To paraphrase Henry Kissinger, a powerful man who married Nancy Maginnes, a powerful woman: “Power, success and financial security are the ultimate aphrodisiacs”.

ladies nowadays arent hustling.... and that's a fact.



dont u even dare give me an example of Linda Ikeji, i'm talkin about you in particular! yes, ur lazy ass!

OP,
You do realize that write up is the work of feminists and their target is American women, not Nigerians. Don't get our women start living other value system that is inapplicable to their society. We already have women here who earn as much or more than their husbands and they exist happily, no need to fan ember of competition.
