On dating sites I can usually guess, based on what they are reading at university or when they just state their profession.

If I "accidently" started pursuing a more succesful woman, I'd stop in order to keep my dignity.

Okay, I was with you until this post

Now you are being just silly and showing a bit of ignorance.

If you don't want a woman to judge you based on your income level it's hardly fair to judge any woman on hers

I don't mean to offend anyone. But I choose who I pursue or not even if my decision is just based on financial succes, I'm the one putting myself at risk. Not her.

I am of the oppinion that the one with more money/succes should do the pursuing. But thats not what I wanted to discuss in this thread, so that will be the final thing I say on the matter.

I don’t think there is a minimum set number that determines if you are good marriage material or not but pretty much as long as you earn more than the girl you are seeing. Women, generally speaking, are interested in men who are above their level or at the very least their own but not below. And there are exceptions as well of course.

Do your homework to make sure you are moving to a city that is not too expensive for your income level.
Well I would like to move to the NYC suburbs, New Jersey. If not that then maybe Philly.

I would never pursue a more succesful woman who earns more money, but I do realise that blue collar working class guys are not as attractive for the average woman as a white collar office type worker. Just curious about womens view on this. What would you say is the minimum a man has to earn for you to be in a relationship with him?

And no, I'm not suggesting women only care about money. But I do realise that having a good job is important. And I'm not sure if mine qualifies as a good job in womens oppinion.
this is not meant personally, or as a jab, but this is the kinda thing I mean when I say people make life more complicated than it needs to be, & more complicated than it should be...

my POV on your topic: first, I don't see how or why a person's income level is relevant... if a person has a job they like & they pay their bills, in my opinion that's all there is to it.

second, though, the all-inclusive term 'relationship'-- my POV is if you're not married to someone or clearly heading in that direction, your income is none of their business.

BIG mistake, you can't afford it there on your income.

The minimum a guy has to earn is my respect. If you can also make me laugh and challenge me mentally - then you've got one foot in the door. If you are proud of what you do for a living and take pride in it - even better.
