I am a 29 year old bachelor who makes enough to live comfortably for 1 person. But if I had a wife, I wouldn't be able to support her. My fear of dating or finding someone is because I think I don't make enough money. My question is, do women really want a guy that makes more than her and can support her?
if i were you, i'd be asking myself: do i want to support a woman?
if you live in america, there's not much sense in it. things can get complicated, legally and financially, when one person in a marriage makes much more than the other.

Depends on how good looking, interesting, sexy and loving you are? You can't really BUY all this stuff. Smart gals KNOW that!

Men did not obtain the same freedoms, partly because they still had to maintain societal standards to have even a much reduced success in breeding and partly because the feminist movement successfully lobbied for many new laws to control their behavior.
Some day, men may get organized and demand reciprocity. Or our society may collapse. Many men are predicting the latter but I'm not one of them. When the costs become too high, there will be a natural swing of the pendulum to get behaviors and their costs under control.
Good post. I get a good laugh when I see that lovesMountains apparently is unaware that Darwin lived during the Victorian era. Time moves on.
Einstein was a great physicist but he chafed at agreeing with Quantum Mechanics, believing that "God would not play dice with the universe". Darwin probably had the typical Victorian hangups that prevented him from better understanding women. Few men have this excuse anymore.
Up until about a year ago, I thought I don't care about money in a guy. But I lived comfortably financially until last year, when things were so hard. For a couple weeks, I had to worry about 10$ whereas before, I never even experienced not being able to have something I want. And now, I never want to go through that experience again. So I do care about money in guys.

It's normal for women to care that the guy has money, a career/degree, a job, a car, etc. for the reasons already stated. You not having money? No problem. Men usually don't care and are not that strict. A guy will still take care of you if he finds you attractive to his eyes and nice to hang around with.

Honestly supporting a woman does not make much sense unless she is taking care of kids. JMO
Does it make sense that you don’t really need to put that much effort to have a guy take care of you? Remember, as women say, men are easier to please. Men have to work it for you.
