I know you aren't supposed to tell people what you make, but then why does match.com include it as a field?
In the olden days, matchmakers would vet out the people who weren't serious in their careers and who would have trouble providing a financially secure lifestyle. Friends who set you up will casually mention if you're doing well or not. But, it can be a turnoff for some to mention it.
I do want to show women that I'm ready for the next step. But, I'm not flashy. I don't drive an expensive car. I don't discuss income.
There are lots of posers who try to con girls into thinking they have successful careers. Why should they benefit while someone who legitimately does well not receive this benefit.
The level headed woman that I'd like to meet will view financial success as a benefit for security purposes and be attracted to someone ambitious and smart enough to achieve it, but I do want to weed out the gold diggers (but I'm pretty good at this already).
I make six figures, but not excessive 1 peecenter six figures. There are plenty who do way better than me, so I really don't think it's bragging to put it down. It just is what it is.
You can not weed out golddigger with a profile. Put your income on there if you wish. You weed out golddiggers when you start dating and they don't act like they love you.

I'm not worried about weeding out the gold diggers.
I just want peoples' opinions on what they think. Should I or shouldn't I?
Put it in your profile. Being thorough about yourself in your profile will increase your chances of meeting the right person (i.e. the ideal woman you described) even if there are downsides.

Interesting. This was basically my own argument in favor. This is coming from a fellow guy though. Women think radically different than we do.
The one time I did online dating (granted, it was a free site), I skipped the income section. I don't think that it's anyone's business, and really has no importance when it comes to meeting people. But, that's just me.

What do single ladies think?
Any guys with experience on this matter?
I was lurking for awhile on a dating site, and I noticed maybe around half the men didn't put their income, they left the field blank. The absence of that info wouldn't influence my decision re: whether to contact a guy or not. There are other ways to communicate that you're a career man. For example, by stating your job/career. Also, your interests, hobbies, tastes in film, music, etc. will communicate what kind of a person your are. I think if you want to be modest about it, don't list it. See what happens. If no one contacts you over some weeks, try listing it, and see what kind of a difference that makes. Consider it an experiment. Good luck
On line dating is pimping...no money - no funny...as they say...Between the greedy parasites that own the sites and woman who are into "wine tasting" forget it...seems that it is all about MONEY
