As I've stated in many posts, I don't believe that to be the case.

HOWEVER, if somehow (this is the twilight zone and) that is the case, then all the more reason to approach every attractive girl you see!

Realy? Now that's fascinating


All the successful women I've seen and met online had pretty much a straight forward "you cannot date me unless you make six figures" rule. My former co worker lives in the city in Chicago and he would tell me about all his wife's single friends who would never date a guy unless he was making well in the six figures (I think you had to make 200K to date them)

Two of these couples met in their early 20's, before their work life took off. The women ended up in high-end jobs after working their way up. So there wasn't a huge disparity when they met.

Well if you're former co-worker says that's the case, then it must be true!!! Let me guess, his wife's friends required W-2s???

Hell, if they're only requiring 200k, then they need to raise their standards.

For what it's worth, I dunno if I could marry a "very successful" woman


I would like to meet somebody who does okay but is not as concerned with making a lot of money as I am. I think it would drive us nuts to have 2 people in the household who are money obsessed (which I must admit I have a tendency of being - although I try to hide that part of my personality as much as possible from the people I know)

Very pertinent information you left out there, don't you think?

Of course I do. It would be narrow-minded to believe that there couldn't be.
