Good point, that is pretty interesting how the career woman who wrote the article made her case from an emotional appeal (her story wrapped up with this):

So, guys, if you're game for an exciting life, go ahead and marry a professional gal.

While the career man made his case primarily from an evidentiary standpoint. It doesn't invalidate either argument, but it certainly reinforces the differences in thinking between men and women.

In my experience, convincing people begins with good evidence and mixes in an emotional appeal - the evidence forms the basis for a good intuitive feeling that helps to win people over.
