At least for dudes, better career = better dating prospects. NYC Chicks don't dig poor dudes.
In most of Manhattan and hip and trendy neighborhoods of West Brooklyn and Queens, hell maybe even Riverdale in the Bronx, yes money and status are important to women. But go to your everyday NYC neighborhood in Bronx, Queens, Upper Manhattan non hip Brooklyn and Staten Island, women's opinions of men differ and a good portion of women in traditional NYC areas probably do not care about how much money a man has. Native women in NYC like a lot of eye candy. But I can attest, most of my dates with rising income has been with either Suburban or Transplant women, never local women! However you are right it does boils down to money.

This is generally true again maybe in Parts of Manhattan and in Hip Brooklyn, but for most of the city especially in poor areas where people lack access to financial institutions and knowledge of finance and banking, many just do not care if their mate has an investment or not. Also two, most women in NYC make their own money and do not need a man to provide for them. All that matters is having a good looking healthy baby. The only time when women in traditional NYC areas care about a mans bank account is when they file subpoena for child support to family court!
I was very blessed today (add sarcasm here). The postman shows up with a huge box of yellow roses and black and white cookies. First thought was this is from family, but no, just simple card with money in it from 'Anonymous'. I still can't figure it out. Why would someone do this? The message read: 'To get back on your feet'. My life just gets weirder and weirder. I suppose there are still good people in this world. But I am going to a doorman building ASAP as soon as I get out of this lease. The stairs are giving me nightmares. Especially when I have to go up them at night. You may laugh at me but I am walking through a special section of hell right now. I know, it's hilarious.
I would be creeped out.....could it be the person who robbed your apartment? Maybe I am watching too much Law and Order...

Don't we all wish that real life worked that way? Unfortunately love does not pay the bills and there are a lot of young people who are buried in debt and cannot marry unless they find someone with more solid financial footing.

This is sad, but also very true. Plenty of young men and women are in a mess with debt and its not pretty for a long term relationship or marriage, especially for young folks who live in this city where it has become increasingly expensive. Would I date someone with debt, sure I would, but it wont me longterm and I make sure she takes a lot of birth control pills, hell I would pay for the abortion too. No point in raising a kid with one of the parents in debt which will create plenty of instability. I think that if your a man and in debt in this city you are screwed, women who are in debt in this city might have it a bit easier, even though they may have a crap paying a job, or a job that pays a lot but with long hours, many women can find someone to flip the bill for them and sometimes sex is not always involved.
Younger girls are not so interested if your rich or not. They are just looking for simple loving like in the romantic novels and magazines they read. But more basic mature women but yet beautiful in NYC are always on the hunt for a rich guy and guys are always looking for a perfect 10. But money won't make you happy baby and for guys a perfect woman gonna make you sad. Cause you can have it all one day and then it's gone.

Or if both are in debt, as is the case with many young careerist yuppies whose pools of potential partners all have the same circumstances. They may appear to be dressed for success but behind the veneer are bank accounts that are under pressure due to crippling debt balances.
your career will carry you long after your love is gone.
Hopefully yes. But many women demand attention 24/7 which can wreck your career. Honestly i know a guy who quit his job because the new gf demanded. He has some savings in the bank but sooner or later it's spent. Must be true love wanting to be together 24/7. But when the initial passion is gone he probably gets the need to have a 9-5 job again.

I have been thinking about this a lot lately. My life requires me now to work insane hours. By the time I am done with work, there is little to no time for dating. Realistically, I could probably only go on one or two dates per week at this point. I have met men who say they will take care of this problem by letting me live with them rent-free or at a reduced rate. But I never had any real connection with any of them. How do you find love when you are so tied down in your work? Is it even possible? Just wondered what your experiences are.
