After reading the OP, I'm of the opinion that Christine, the author, may very well be simply having bad luck finding a man herself. I myself am living proof that her article is quite simply incorrect at most or a gross stereotype at least. I graduated from high school early, wen to college on my own dime where I received high marks in all subjects and graduated in 4 years, and I immediately used my connections to get a good job. I occasionally enjoy playing Star Wars Battlefront on my PlayStation 2. I'm taking a few classes now and plan to go back to school to get my masters in political science so that I can become an attorney (business work is starting to bore me). I'm dripping with motivation, but not only that, most of the men I know are also dripping with motivation. One friend is already rising through the ranks quickly at a national bank and another has a very successful web company selling auto parts at the age of 23.
If you're so lazy that you think you need Mario or a school teacher to motivate you, you're probably already SOL in life because unmotivated people are boring and are rarely successful at what they attempt, if they ever get around to attempting it. Self motivation really is the only good motivation, and the author would go a long way by learning that.
