So many men SAY they’re totally fine and cool dating a woman who earns more than they do, or owns their own home.

But what happens when they actually find themselves in that situation? 🤔

Well, they don’t find it easy. They’re stressed, defensive, questioning their value, and making it everybody else’s problem. And this isn’t a new phenomenon. Researchers have been studying men’s relationships to the “breadwinner” role for decades. Turns out, a lot of men have been taught their value comes from what they earn.

Which raises the question: If a social script tells you that your worth begins and ends with your paycheck…maybe that script sucks?! 🫣

In the latest episode of @DoAsWeSayPod, @DrNerdLove and @DrLizPowell unpack why some men struggle when women succeed, and where they should actually be putting that anger instead.
