I really do not care about my wife's income until she throws it up in my face. For instance recently while I was unemployed she mentioned that I have nothing to offer while she has lots to offer. It made me feel half an inch tall.
And then there was another time she mentioned that if I started my drinking again she'd throw me out. Which I can understand, but it's just the insinuation that she wanted to rub it in that she has everything while I have nothing. Needless to say I felt a little butthurt at her comments and a result was not much intimacy for a few weeks afterward.
But I learned from her hurtful comments and am determined to do something about my financial situation and in time hopefully match and even surpass her income. So I turned it into a positive thing for me.
I would have broken up with her on the spot. I'd move into a shelter before I took that crap from anyone.
I care about how much a woman makes mainly in regards to if it's enough to support whatever lifestyle she wants, while still being able to save a reasonable amount.

Also, yeah, this would be grounds for instant divorce in my book.
Lots of threads about men incomes and how they cannot get dates if they are low income. What about women? Do men really not care how much a woman makes? I work an okay job as a medical receptionist/secretary, but I'm not making big bucks or anything. What's the truth where women's salaries are concerned in terms of getting dates; does it truly just come down to looks then?
All I care about is whether she works hard at what she does. I'd expect her to have the same opinion of me. Usually people who work hard succeed more often and mobilize better socially. They also are better at adapting to changes and opportunities - which is a non-gendered problem in the 21st century. I think adaptability in general is one of the greatest attributes someone can have; it can directly affect things like employment.
Guys would be well advised to care very much about what a woman makes.
Not paying attention to this upfront is how so many guys end up being the bitter divorced guys who are moaning and complaining about paying alimony and child support.

Nope. Don't care. As long as you're working. Looks are fine but eventually there better be something else there

When my wife and I were first dating, she made a lot more than I did. As time went on my income went up hers went down. 23 years later it's inconsequential. If my wife cared about my income we would never date, marry and have the great life we do. She saw something in me and for that I am forever grateful. Then again she is probably just waiting for the right time to divorce me and tanke 1/2 the stuff. She's probably waiting till year 25. Just enough to pad that diversion account
Child support gets paid for the kids you had. That's not something to cry about. That's just your duty as a father to take care of your kids. The alimony is part of the settlement. If you don't want any of those things don't marry and Christ don't have kids for sure.
You could also be passing up a life with someone who cares for you till you die or vice versa.

Unless she's like unemployed and has no money, expects you to spoil her and buy everything.
Of course, that only pertains to girls I started dating. I'd have no problem if my fiance decided to stop working when we eventually have kids. I've even told her right now that I'm okay with her not working if she doesn't want to anymore, she insists she wants to and would be bored if she didn't work 4 days a week, especially with me also at work during the day.
To be honest, I don't care what she makes. My longer term plans don't depend on how much my partner makes. In order of importance, looks, compatibility, and loyalty.
Again... still applies... I really don't mean disrespect as you're one of the best posters here, but get a high pressure job and come back with the same stuff about passion for your work and you might change your opinion a bit... as sometimes work can really tear a person down at times...
My mom is a cardiovascular/thoracic surgeon and she totally loves her profession. Talk about pressure!
