I think many women feel it's a status symbol. That wealth equates to desirablity. They have also maybe been brought up with the belief that the man is the provider and so if he's not providing he's not a man. For me, both of my parents had to work to provide what they wanted for themselves and us children.
I think it all comes down to what you want. There are a lot of guys who want a stay at home wife/mom and for them I think it's very important to realize what that entails as far as their contribution and to work very diligently. For others, they want someone who will work and contribute equally, and it would probably be easier if they don't try to date someone who wants a provider/security.
