Huh, something else I was just thinking IRT these levels. I'm sorry, but just because a guy is earning 60k and another 40-50k, does not mean the former is higher in level when considering likes with likes. Here's an interesting site that I just glanced, where blue collars are out-earning white collars
It all goes down to a guy being in a higher level which also includes making more than her. It is not hard to spot a guy who is making good money regardless of his job and a nice man who makes good money will always be more attractive to women than a nice man who makes less than her. Same reason why women say they want a man who shows he can provide, offer security, etc. And yes, there are exceptions of course.

Higher level? - that looks like something out of the caste system.
My husband is an exceptionally talented man. I make more money because I had the opportunity of a good education and was fortunate to find the right job for my skills (mostly due to his ability to find good jobs for me).
I think you would perceive me as being a higher level than him! That's hogwash.
Sorry, not familiar with that - is that the Kramer from Seinfeld?
In jest that's possible, but I'm referring to a previous CD member. He'd go on about real work only being comprised of using muscles. eta: No, any and all muscles, but the brain muscle.

I addressed this well enough in the other thread. You know I don't agree. But, for the sake of argument...if you have two clones and one earns 80k/yr and other earns 60k/yr, then sure. 99.99% of women will probably choose the former; providing there aren't weird control issues involved, which is another matter. Of course, cloning technology has a way to go, so it's moot.

So, for example, do really think a female scientist, any and all female scientists, would prefer a blue collar guy earning 70k over a male scientist earning 50k? With things like looks being equal? I can't imagine that being the case for most women. On that end, I'll say you're wrong.
I think that's been true for a long time. A skilled blue collar worker is always going to make more than a lot of people who fill the cubicles at a bank or office. Those guys have as much education and experience in their fields as good engineers, doctors or any similar professional. I don't mean "laborers" or other low-skilled workers.
But unless they have a business, I doubt a guy in the trades can make as much as a high-level white collar employee. But yep, they can easily beat a lot of low level white-collar workers. I did meet a guy who made 200K a year in one of my lead paint training classes. But would I date him? No. An unrefined guy with no education is kind of a no no.
I personally am one of those people who would be happy with a guy earning less as long as he had more education. If he earned less and had the same or less education, I would have a difficult time. Not that the more educated guy is better or nicer, but I can't get past that barrier. Money is not as important.

I used to think that way. Now, I realize that education and intelligence can be mutually exclusive. I'd rather hang out with intelligent or insightful people rather than educated people.
I think what you are earning is fine for most other blue collar workers and some white collar workers. For me my minimum is 70-80k with upward mobility to 100+. That is only because I would like to make 300-500 in the future and I need to find somebody who isn't going to gold dig me. And it's expensive here, you can't comfortably support a family for less than a 6 figure income. In case I am incapacitated I need some security.

To each his own, I guess. But awww you must have fallen in love.

I'm confused. I read where you said you were married. You also implied you're female, but you have a male symbol.
