This thread dispels the exact reason why so many American men are fed up with American women. Women got their total equal rights and in many areas have far surpassed men with golden opportunities abundant. Yet, they still have their little list of minimal requirements the man must meet before considering a life with him. It's the ole cake and eating it too scenario.
It's why many men use you for sex, use you for a short fun fling and then marry a foreign woman later on down the road who still hold some form of traditional values.
I'm not being overly critical of women, but this is the playing field you've all created. And at the end of the day, to a man, American women are not any prettier, not any sexier, in fact usually the opposite, yet they stand with demand after demand after demand.
Any woman who comes along "feeling" out my financials, gets a few rounds of sex, (assuming I find her physically attracted) and then she gets left for the next sucker. Been there, done that and I refuse to date any woman after money. No thanks!
This should be interesting. Although I find this one of those things were women say one thing and do another. If the woman really likes you she will over look how much money you make.
You are correct here.
It's like asking a guy how big a woman's boobs need to be or what number she needs to be on a scale from 1-10 to get him to date her.
If a guy just happens to get to know a girl and she's really attractive to him in other ways, what "number" she is or what size boobs she has won't be the primary factor.
Not that someone throws ALL their expectations out the window. More that they are flexible expectations, but if you poll people like this here, you'll get the rigid answers.

Some of us are smart enough to never let that happen.
The fact that more women are becoming primary breadwinners makes it a bit harder for men to attract women to get married/settle down with. When it's just dating or sex, financial status doesn't matter as much, but for serious relationships money matters. There is probably a correlation of the increase of women's income with the increased age of getting married, because more women prefer the man to make just as much if not more than her. Eventually a woman will have to settle for a guy making less than her because there just aren't enough men out there who has the income.
There's a few guys at my work who are married to women who make more than them, and a few of the wives want the guys to leave my company to actually get a career and earn more money. Not all, but some.
When the income disparity is so great, I do think resentment builds up and the wives might start second guessing the choice of husband they chose.
??? Why would women have to settle when they can simply continue to have lots of great sex with lots of hot guys???
Exactly what or how much do you expect someone with a non-STEM degree and a dead-end job to achieve?
I assume you realize that those are two completely unrelated things. My ex has a degree in fine arts and had been out-earning me since he was 30. In a creative field, he brings down about 120K a year because he is talented, owns his own business and works very hard.
So those women answering 150k by mid career are making that themselves by mid career as well, right?
I would hope so.
