You would be suprised how cold hearted women become when they are making alot more money then you are.

I have stories for days.

They say they don't care about that type of stuff but judge them on their actions. My next door neighborhood began having an affair behind her husband's back for 1 year. Then she kicked him out the house and the new guy moved in.

Coincindently..he made significantly alot more money then her husband. Drove a nice mustang and an audi a8. Didn't last long though. He left her for another piece of tail.

Still though.

There respect for you declines rapidly and they feel like they are the man. My ex's friend left her boyfriend for a wealthier guy. One of the guy's that was messing with my ex was stressed because his wife drove him crazy and disrespected him on a daily basis.

I didn't think of that side of things, some people do get on an ego trip just because they have a big paycheck. Maybe it's just financially successful people tend to step on more toes than the average.

Great points!! I don't mind a woman that makes more than me at all as long as I'm not totally financially dependent on her more so than she is on me. That kind of leverage can really give someone the big head in a relationship. Especially with women because of society's expectations that the man in supposed to be the provider. I know plenty of situations where the man is dependent on his woman and she may love him but she treats him more like a child than a partner.

This may sound weird but... cattiness.

I love it when a guy can gossip just like the girls. My hubs will often have his moments (usually when he's talking about the women on his job) and he can get so catty it has me in hysterics!

I think thats exactly what it is.

It would be nice to say that money in a serious relationship doesn't matter and its only about the emotional and physical connection but it doesn't work that way in reality.

Bills have to be paid and some people expect a certain standard of living to be met.

From what I have seen men seem to be significantly more tolerant if their counterpart is at least trying. I know 6 guys off the top of my head that are actually providing their girlfriends with a place to stay and make much more then them.

I was friends with this girl way back. She told me she kicked her boyfriend out because he was working in a warehouse. Grant it 12$ is low pay even with 50 hrs OT. She makes 38,000$ a year. She told me how she "kicked" her boyfriend out. It made me vomit.

She picked fights with him every day. She said it wasn't working so she started sleeping over her friends house on and off (yes it was a guy.) Finally they got into a big arguement and the police escorted him off the property.

She couldn't kick him out of the apartment because she said she had to wait but she drove him crazy and made him out to be the bad guy.


They got back together after he found a job that pays more money. I'm sorry I don't care how good a women looks. I wouldn't degrade myself in that manner.

If there's one thing I know $$$ talks to women ears.

Like they say **** doesn't pay bills ***** does.

It's interesting how much some of you guys think you know.

I think I know nothing. Therefore I am the most intelligent.

As the late great Dudley Moore (AKA: Stanley Tibbetts ) emphatically states in the movie, Foul Play..."I want it all, baby!"

From reading all these posts on city data like this it sounds we're stuck in the 1950s, yet women don't want any of the responsibilities of being 'liberated.' Is this really an accurate view of things, though? I know plenty of women who are past things like that, they don't care who earns more than more etc.
