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?
I'm happy if you can support yourself and maintain a reasonable lifestyle. And at 29, I would expect you to have a plan to improve that lifestyle over time.
Reasonable is the key.
Now if you want marriage and kids.....you need considerably more money and you need to be aware your SO may need financial help for a while and childcare isn't cheap.
At 29 years you should have figured out that not all women are the same. People have different goals in life and seek different things from relationships from having children and being a SAHM to having a fulfilling career and everything in between.
Most women your age work full time to support themselves, as well. While the golddigger stereotype is prevalent, and there are manipulative women out there, generally women would like your companionship more than your money. We can buy our own shoes.
Those who say they don't, have come to the realization they don't have what it takes to get it. That's the difference between humans and other animals. They can overcome instinct, but only if they have to.
At age 29, you should be coming to terms with the fact that any improvement on the financial front (barring a lottery win) is likely to come much slower than your other attributes are declining. You don't want to lose what little you have in a desperate attempt to beat the odds.
Of course not. Some women are like that but all/most? Absolutely not and anyone who says otherwise is just a misogynist. Naturally, no one wants a guy who is a lazy deadbeat, can't keep a job, can barely/can't support himself, has no motivation, etc. But if you can comfortable support yourself and you are motivated, I don't think it would seriously hurt your dating options.
Thanks for the advice. Hopefully I can meet someone and get this fear out of me...
