I am not seeing it as much nowadays as many women earn more or same as men. Of course there are exceptions and some women still are dependent on men.

I personally never concerned myself with looking for providers as I have always been self supporting and independent. I encourage women to not become dependent on men as it’s a dangerous way to live (many women stay in bad marriages because they can’t afford to be on their own, bad place to be)

Saying that, I’d not settle for a man who makes significantly less than me either because I am not interested in supporting anyone and I don’t want to alter my life style (living with someone who makes much less would lower my ability to have and do things I am accustomed to).

Of course if something happened to my husband and he becomes incapacitated, I’d support him as he is my husband but I wouldn’t deliberately look for a man to support.
