Men , Why Do You Work?

I came across a post in another thread in which one female poster was saying that men work hard to make money only because ,

" they want the fear and admiration of other men.."

A couple of other women agreed , although men were basically saying that men work because they want mostly to please their women and family.

At 44 yrs of age, I have been working for the greater part of my life and I'm sure many other men here too. Ever since I was 11 yrs old , I entered the world of part time work, and today I own a lucrative business.
I was always taught by my mother that a real man works hard, and provides for his woman and tries to secure a future for his kids and other dependents.
I am usually up at 4 AM every morning, preparing for my day. By 8 PM in the evening I'm dog tired.
Me wife always tells me how much she admires and appreciates how hard I work, and it's like music to my ears. It inspires me and gives me hope.
She's a hard worker too, and I know beyond the shadow of doubt , that she works hard to make sure I'm comfortable and pleased. Words can't say enough how much I appreciate it , but I try to show by my actions.
But I know I'm an old timer full of outdated values that have no real place in this *postmodern* society.

So it came as a surprise to me that a man's work isn't viewed in that light. That some women feel that men mostly work hard because they first and foremost, want to be respected and feared by other men,
And it's not to please their wives.


What has been your experience?
Why do you work hard?
Is it not to please your woman and kids first and foremost?

Also to the women who are either employed or are SAHM's , why do you work so hard?
Is it not to please your husband and family first and foremost?
Do you feel appreciated?
Do you appreciate that your husband works hard?
If not, why ?
