When in Greece i noticed something in there culture .
Because the Greek where for long the sea going nation during the last 100 years or so , young man left and worked all over the world . This leaving the lady's not much choice among the ones that didn't leave . Many returning Greek older single guy's that came back from the seas , with a full sack of money , their where plenty off . Many young Greek lady's ended up saying yes in front of an alter ,... for those dudes could provide in there needs .

Yes man do it to , but with woman it seems more cultural accepted .
But no worry's it's all equal now , feminism has won the day ,... no longer can a single working guy provide for his partner ,.. or even children ,.. both , male and female , must work now a 40 hours job to just stay adrift a bit . ;-)
