I think it’s an outdated perspective.

I would never marry a woman that can’t provide for herself, and I think it would be amazing if she earns more than me.

However, I don’t think it’s completely wrong, men do want to feel needed somehow.

You seems so perfect and the only thing missing in your life it’s a child. That’s not a good advertisement.

Let men feel needed and tell them that, ask for their help and their opinion. If a guy is real computer nerd, let him help with your IT related issues, and sure, you could probably pay someone to do it better, but the point is to let people/men feel as part of your life.

What is missing in your life beside a child?

Are you too serious? Look for a funny guy that can make you laugh.

Are you too healthy maniac? Look for a guy that can sometimes push you to really tasty food, but not healthy.

Are you too impulsive? Look for a guy that keep you grounded.

And let them know how they complete you!

I would continue working 5 days a week for 100% and I’m also thinking in start making some freelancer work in my spare time.

My reasons are:

1- I struggle to self motivate and do something productive, if I have more time I would, at best, play video, at worse I would waste time arguing about politics in Reddit.

2- I’m a software engineer and I normally finish all my daily tasks in 4 hours ish. The rest of the day, while I’m waiting for more task, I’m available if anyone needs my help, but most of the time I’m doing nothing. And now that I’m working from home, this 'nothing' results in personal things. So 4 days week would only lead to do the same work done but in 4 days instead of 5 and get pay less.

3- I’m single and in my late 20s. I want to work more now so when I start a family I can work less.

I wonder how long it will take for the salaries to normalise comparing with market rate. The salaries increased to 70k minimum, so they’re paying above market rate for a few roles.

The hiring quality will also increased. For example, with a 40k salary, the company could hire someone with 5 years of experience, with 70k, they can find someone with 10 years of experience.

So in a few years the company will get rid of low performance and hired more skilled workers and the salary vs skill will match the market rate again. (with a few exceptions)

For anyone thinking in leaving gmail, I recommend to get your own domain. For example: firstnamelastname.com This gives the flexibility of email provider.

I did that 2 years ago and decided to go with Fastmail. And then I slowly updated my accounts/contacts to my new email: mail@firstnamelastname.com

Nowdays I never get new emails on my gmail account and last weekend I decided to finally remove gmail from my phone (but configured to automatically forward just in case).

That's no surprising. I already developed a game for Facebook a few years ago and was amazing how many information about the user and his friends was possible to collect. There were simple no restriction.

I try to imagine games like Farmville that were played by millions of people, how many information they collected.

Nowadays, Facebook has Graph API. You need to specify exactly what information about the user you want. And depending on the information, Facebook needs to review in advance.
